MARA’s Bitcoin Holdings Near $6B With 52,477 $BTC, Hyping Up Bitcoin Hyper
MARA Holdings just announced that its Bitcoin treasury is nearing $6B after mining 705 Bitcoins in August with an average of 22.7 tokens per day.
This performance is the result of an increase in hashrate to 59.6 EH/s and the company enabling its Texas wind farms.
The official press release also stated that MARA plans to acquire 64% stake in Exaion, one of the world-leading producers of low-carbon energy, in Q4 of 2025.
This comes shortly after the company announced a 17% increase in its Bitcoin mining capabilities in July, according to the end-of-the-month report.
With Bitcoin falling below $111K again, MARA seeks to ramp up its Bitcoin accumulation strategy before the next bull run, which is likely to trigger in Q4, especially as Bitcoin Layer 2 upgrade, Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) nears the end of its presale in Q4.
MARA Wants a Larger Spot at the Bitcoin Table
MARA wants a larger slice of the Bitcoin buy, which is why it’s ramping up its mining and buying efforts. A July 23 convertible note offering saw MARA put out $850M-worth of senior notes, with much of the proceeds being reserved for Bitcoin investments.
This shows that the company is preparing a long-term investment strategy, similar to what Michael Saylor’s Strategy is doing. Strategy currently has the largest Bitcoin treasury in the world, with 636,505 $BTC, valued at nearly $70B.
Strategy bought three dips in August and one in September, acquiring 7,714 $BTC for a total investment of almost $900M.
More importantly, Saylor is likely to make another move now that Bitcoin lost its momentum after jumping over $113K briefly yesterday. Another massive investment would create another pump, this time hopefully getting Bitcoin over the psychological threshold of $115K.
Based on Bitcoin’s historical monthly returns, the next pump may not be short-lived. According to CoinGlass data, Bitcoin’s last six years display a green October, with gains of up to 40%.
Then we have Bitcoin Hyper nearing the end of the presale in Q4, according to the whitepaper, which could add an extra boost once the project goes public.
How Bitcoin Hyper Promises to Solve Bitcoin’s Performance Problems
Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is the Layer 2 upgrade that promises to finally solve Bitcoin’s performance issues.
Bitcoin’s performance is currently limited to 7 transactions per second (TPS), which makes the network unfeasible for large institutional investors and payment processors. In terms of performance, Bitcoin ranks 28th in terms of TPS, according to Chainspect data.
Even Ethereum ranks higher with its 16 TPS on the 17th position, while Solana is second with up to 1,000 TPS and a theoretical value of 65,000.
So, it’s only natural that Bitcoin Hyper would target a Solana-level performance boost for Bitcoin, which it plans to achieve with tools like the Canonical…
