The company’s self-operated MARAPool outperformed the network average.
Marathon Digital Holdings (NASDAQ: MARA), one of the largest publicly traded Bitcoin mining firms in North America, has reported it mined 829 BTC in March—a 17% increase from the 706 BTC mined in February.
The total blocks won also increased by 17% month-to-month, to 242 blocks in March, up from 206 blocks in February. This represents Marathon’s third-highest-ever monthly block tally. The firm attributed the performance to improved hardware efficiency and software optimization, contributing to higher mining yield.
As of March 31, 2025, Marathon held 47,531 BTC on its balance sheet. The company continues to follow a long-standing strategy of retaining most of its mined Bitcoin rather than liquidating, with its aim to capitalize on long-term price appreciation.
MARAPool’s Role and Operational Updates
One of the most critical drivers for Marathon’s March victory is its own mining pool, MARAPool. The unique feature is that MARAPool is the only fully owned and operated mining pool on the list of Bitcoin miners. This ownership model eliminates the third-party operating fees, resulting in better profitability and better operating control.
In March, MARAPool’s “luck rate”—a measure of blocks mined relative to hashrate—was over 10% above the network average. This contributed to a higher-than-expected number of blocks won and corresponding revenue.
Marathon also reported a 1% increase in energized hashrate from February, reaching 54.3 exahashes per second (EH/s). This figure represents the total amount of computing power Marathon had actively deployed for mining in March.
Looking ahead, the company is preparing to bring a new 40-megawatt data center online in Ohio. Construction is expected to conclude by the end of April. The facility is part of Marathon’s mission to expand its infrastructure, which includes efforts to integrate operations and explore sustainable energy sources for mining.
