Marathon Digital is a digital asset technology company and one of the largest and most valuable pure-play Bitcoin mining stocks out there. In fact, given the doldrums that the cryptocurrency and blockchain industries faced throughout 2022, MARA is the only Bitcoin pure-play included on this list.

The company’s fleet of more than 105,000 Bitcoin miners mined a record 2,195 BTC coins in the first quarter of 2023. At the same time, Marathon held a total of 11,466 Bitcoins, worth about $326 million.

In an April 3, 2023 press release, Fred Thiel, Marathon’s chairman and CEO, said, “Given the operational and financial improvements we made during the first quarter, we remain optimistic that we can achieve our primary growth targets and establish Marathon as one of the largest and most energy efficient Bitcoin mining operations globally.”
