Analysis
MARA reported a materially weaker Q2 2026 financial result than Q2 2025. Revenues decreased 27% to $174.9 million from $238.5 million. Net income (loss) decreased to ($611.3 million) from $808.2 million, while Adjusted EBITDA decreased to ($360.9 million) from $1.2 billion. The filing does not provide reported gross margin, operating income, EPS, operating cash flow, or free cash flow in the supplied text.
Operational mining capacity expanded despite the financial decline. Energized hashrate increased 22% to 70.3 EH/S from 57.4 EH/s, and total blocks won increased 1% to 700 from 694. MARA mined 2,422 BTC during Q2 2026. The company reported purchased energy cost per BTC of $38,690 for owned sites and cost per kWh of $0.04, while cost/petahash per day decreased by 4% from Q2 2025.
Bitcoin holdings decreased 29% to 35,577 BTC (C. $2.1B), including 9,270 BTC loaned or pledged as collateral as of June 30, 2026. MARA reported that no BTC was purchased in Q2 2026. The supplied text provides no share-repurchase or dividend information.
Management's strategic emphasis is on powered land, digital infrastructure, AI infrastructure, and an eventual move away from hosted mining as existing agreements expire. The pending Long Ridge acquisition is awaiting FERC approval and is expected to contribute positive EBITDA upon closing, with more than 70% of its power output contracted under long-term agreements. Subsequent to quarter-end, MARA secured rights to a 2 GW powered land site in Matagorda County, Texas, subject to ERCOT and interconnect approvals.
The principal near-term commercial milestone is management's expectation to sign at least one lease before year-end. The company also expects its power portfolio could expand up to 4.8 GW, subject to the stated approvals. The reported financial deterioration and lower Bitcoin holdings contrast with continued growth in energized hashrate and the company's infrastructure-development plans, making regulatory approvals, lease execution, and conversion of powered assets into contracted cash-flow-generating infrastructure central items to monitor.
