MARA Sells 13,597 Bitcoin Worth $1.1 Billion in Six Weeks, Signals More Sales Ahead

MARA sold 13,597 BTC for ~$1.1 billion after Q3, bringing its total 2026 disclosed sales to 40,581 BTC ($3 billion) and ending its “full HODL” strategy. The miner used $750 million of the proceeds to clear Bitcoin-backed loans with Coinbase and Two Prime, releasing 17,477 BTC from collateral. Liquidity from the sale supports MARA’s $1.5 billion Long Ridge power acquisition in Ohio for AI data centers and upcoming debt obligations.
