MARA reported third-quarter net profit of $634 million, up from $123.1 million a year earlier, while revenue fell 35% to $164.2 million. After the quarter, it sold 13,597 bitcoin for about $1.1 billion and used $750 million to repay its bitcoin-backed loans in full.

What happened
MARA Holdings sold 13,597 bitcoin after the third quarter and used $750 million of the roughly $1.1 billion proceeds to fully repay its bitcoin-backed loans. This freed 17,477 bitcoin that had been pledged as security. The company also announced a $500 million share buyback authorization.
Global impact / market context
Paying off the loans removes the need to keep those 17,477 bitcoin pledged, but the sale leaves MARA holding fewer bitcoin. Its third-quarter revenue fell 35% to $164.2 million, while reported profit included a large gain from the higher value of its bitcoin holdings.
What to watch
- Check whether MARA makes more bitcoin sales, since it said more sales are expected and this could further reduce its holdings.
- Check how MARA uses the freed bitcoin and cash after repaying the loans, because that will show the practical effect of the debt payoff.
- Check future revenue and profit reports, because third-quarter revenue fell 35% and reported profit included a non-cash gain from digital assets.
