LATEST: MARA Holdings agreed to buy a 1,200-acre powered site in Texas, targeting 2 GW of grid capacity for Bitcoin mining and AI compute.
Confirmed
Global impact / market context
MARA Holdings' purchase of a large, power‑ready site gives it direct control over electricity for Bitcoin mining and AI workloads, which can lower costs and boost profitability as demand for both services grows.
