NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions, including any noncontrolling interest, have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has prepared the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applicable to interim financial information, which permit the omission of certain information to the extent it has not changed materially since the latest annual financial statements. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future fiscal periods in 2026 or for the full year ending December 31, 2026.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2026.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements include measurement of digital assets and related receivables, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, determination of useful lives of property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, recoverability of long-lived assets, impairment of goodwill, valuation of derivative instruments, stock-based compensation expense, deferred income taxes, and loss contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the reported financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The impact on any prior period disclosures was immaterial.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Except for the updates noted below, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for a detailed discussion on the Company’s significant accounting policies.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate at the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates for the period for revenues and expenses. Resulting translation adjustments are recognized as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments and other short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash principally represents cash balances that support commercial letters of credit and are restricted from withdrawal. To manage risk associated with these instruments, the Company maintains a diversified allocation of deposits across banking institutions, money market funds and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured deposits.
As of June 30, 2026, approximately 30% of cash and cash equivalents were denominated in foreign currencies, held by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and contractually designated for use in their operations. Refer to Note 3 – Acquisitions and Strategic Partnerships, for further information.
Energy Derivatives
The Company acquired a commodity swap contract as a result of a previous acquisition, which meets the definition of a derivative due to the terms that provide for net settlement and expires on December 31, 2027.
As of June 30, 2026, the estimated net fair value of the Company’s derivative asset instrument was $6.5 million, estimated using observable market-based inputs classified under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model to estimate fair value include the discount rate and electricity forward curves.
The following table presents changes in fair value of the derivative instrument:

Noncontrolling Interest and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
The Company accounts for noncontrolling interest and redeemable noncontrolling interest in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation and ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity (“ASC 480”).
Noncontrolling interest
Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity interest in consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Noncontrolling interests are presented as a separate component of stockholders’ equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Noncontrolling interests are classified as permanent equity as we have the right to choose to settle each holder's redemption of the interests in either cash or delivery of shares of our common stock.
The Company attributes net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) to both the Company and noncontrolling interest holders based on their respective ownership percentages. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests is presented separately in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Redeemable noncontrolling interest
Redeemable noncontrolling interest represents ownership interests in consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable to the Company and may be subject to redemption at the option of the holder, upon the occurrence of certain events outside the Company’s control, or at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date. As redemption is not solely within the Company’s control, such interests are classified outside of permanent equity in “Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Redeemable noncontrolling interests are initially recorded at fair value at the date of issuance. Subsequently, the carrying amount is adjusted to the redemption value at each reporting period, if the redeemable noncontrolling interest is currently redeemable, or probable of becoming redeemable, with any changes recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. Net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests is recorded based on the proportionate share of the subsidiary’s results, and the effect of foreign currency translation attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest is recorded within the mezzanine equity section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Refer to Note 3 – Acquisitions and Strategic Partnerships and Note 11 – Equity and Mezzanine Equity, for further information.
Restructuring Costs
Restructuring costs reflect expenses resulting from restructuring initiatives the Company undertakes to improve operational efficiency and align resources with its strategic objectives. Restructuring costs primarily include employee separation costs, asset write-off charges, contract termination costs, costs to vacate facilities, and other direct expenses associated with approved restructuring plans. Costs are recognized when the Company’s management approves a restructuring plan and the related amounts are both probable and estimable.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company’s management committed to and initiated a restructuring plan (the “2026 Restructuring Plan”) in response to the Company’s strategic decision to reallocate resources toward AI initiatives and related critical IT and HPC opportunities, as well as a significant decline in bitcoin prices. Restructuring costs incurred during the period were $47.6 million and primarily consisted of $42.0 million related to the elimination of certain business activities and $5.4 million of employee-related separation costs, including severance, termination benefits, and equity award modifications. Restructuring costs were recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, an additional reserve of $1.8 million related to employee separation benefits and contract termination was established and is expected to be paid out in the following quarter.
Income Taxes
Effective Tax Rate
The effective tax rate (“ETR”) from continuing operations was (0.09)% and 20.51% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 1.59% and 24.52% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The ETR for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 differs significantly from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the establishment of a valuation allowance, in addition to non-deductible officer compensation, which represents a permanent difference that reduces the overall tax benefit. The decrease in ETR compared to the prior year period reflects the net impact of these items, primarily driven by the establishment of a valuation allowance in the current period.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company determined, based upon all available evidence, that it was more likely than not that its federal and state deferred tax assets would not be realized. This conclusion was primarily driven by cumulative net operating losses, which limit the ability to support future taxable income, and a
significant decline in the fair value of the Company’s bitcoin holdings. Under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, changes in bitcoin fair value are recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations but are not taxable until disposition; accordingly, declines in the value reduce deferred tax liabilities and the associated source of future taxable income for realizing deferred tax assets. As a result, the Company continued to maintain a full valuation allowance of $587.2 million against its federal and state deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2026.
Income Tax in Interim Periods
The Company records income tax expense or benefit for interim periods using the actual effective tax rate applicable to the year-to-date results, rather than an estimated annual effective tax rate. This approach differs from prior periods, in which the Company applied an estimated annual tax rate. The change was made because the Company determined it can no longer reliably estimate its annual effective tax rate, primarily due to the volatility of bitcoin fair values and the resulting variability in the Company's deferred tax position.
Uncertainties
The Company files U.S. federal, state and foreign income tax returns. The 2022 through 2025 tax years generally remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and various state and foreign taxing authorities. The Company does not currently expect any of its remaining unrecognized tax benefits to be recognized in the next twelve months.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement may affect the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes an analysis to determine any required changes to its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements properly reflect the change.
In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”). ASU 2025-11 improves the navigability of interim reporting guidance by providing a master list of required interim disclosures and establishing a principle for disclosure of material post-period events. The new standard is effective for the Company for interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on disclosures of adopting this standard.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”). ASU 2025-06 eliminates accounting consideration of software project development stages and clarifies the threshold applied to begin capitalizing costs. The new standard is effective for the Company for its annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028, and permits prospective, modified prospective, retrospective or early adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”). ASU 2025-05 provides a practical expedient to assume current economic conditions will not change for the remaining life of an asset when preparing forecasts as part of estimating credit losses. The new standard is effective for the Company for its annual periods beginning January 1, 2026 and interim period within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company adopted ASC 2025-05 during the interim period, which did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity (“ASU 2025-03”), which amends the guidance for identifying the accounting acquirer in transactions involving the acquisition of a variable interest entity that meets the definition of a business. The guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice and improve consistency in the application of acquisition accounting. The new standard is effective for the Company for
its annual periods beginning January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard.
In December 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments (“ASU 2024-04”). ASU 2024-04 clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion to improve relevance and consistency. The new standard is effective for the Company for its annual periods beginning January 1, 2026 and interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2024-04 during the interim period, which did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosures of certain expenses in the notes of the financial statements, to provide enhanced transparency into the expense captions presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The new standard is effective for the Company for its annual periods beginning January 1, 2027 and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard.
NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS AND STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS
Long Ridge
On April 29, 2026, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an equity purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests in Long Ridge Energy & Power LLC (“Long Ridge”). Long Ridge’s assets include a 485 megawatt (“MW”) combined-cycle gas turbine power plant in Hannibal, Ohio (expected to increase to 505 MW in the first quarter of 2027) and over 1,600 contiguous acres with access to water, fiber and rail infrastructure. The facility is located adjacent to the Company’s existing Hannibal, Ohio data center operations. As of June 30, 2026, the acquisition has not yet closed and remains subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
Starwood
On February 26, 2026, the Company entered into a strategic agreement (the “Strategic Agreement”) with Starwood Digital Ventures LLC (“Starwood”), a data center development platform, to develop, finance and operate digital infrastructure on select power-rich sites within the Company’s existing portfolio. Under the Strategic Agreement, the Company has committed to contribute certain sites to and retain up to a 50% ownership interest in a newly formed joint venture, while Starwood will lead engineering, procurement and construction activities, secure hyperscale tenancy and operate the assets. Refer to Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies, for further information.
Exaion
On February 20, 2026, the Company, through its majority-owned subsidiary MARA France SaS (“MARA France”), acquired a controlling equity interest in Exaion SaS (“Exaion”), a subsidiary of EDF Pulse Holding (“EDF”), for total cash consideration of $174.5 million (€148.0 million), including working capital adjustments. Exaion is a developer and operator based in France, specializing in high-performance computing data centers and providing secure, private cloud and AI infrastructure, expanding the Company’s capabilities in AI/HPC infrastructure and enhancing the Company’s ability to deliver secure and scalable cloud solutions.
The acquisition was completed through a two-step transaction executed contemporaneously on February 20, 2026. The total consideration consisted of (i) $135.6 million (€115.0 million) for newly issued shares from Exaion and (ii) $38.9 million (€33.0 million) of shares purchased from existing shareholders, of which $11.8 million (€10.0 million) was placed into escrow contingent upon Exaion achieving specified revenue targets with EDF during fiscal year
2026. Amounts released from escrow will be distributed to the former shareholders based on actual revenue achieved, with any unused portion returned to the Company.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations.
The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price based on the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of February 20, 2026:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| (in thousands) | | February 20, 2026 | | |
Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed: | | | | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 135,663 | | | |
| Digital assets | | 472 | | | |
| Accounts receivable | | 3,975 | | | |
| Other current assets | | 641 | | | |
| Property and equipment | | 755 | | | |
| Right-of-use asset | | 2,667 | | | |
| Intangible assets | | 44,231 | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| Accounts payable and accrued expenses | | (4,459) | | | |
| Lease liability | | (2,667) | | | |
Deferred tax liability | | (10,159) | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
Total identified net assets | | 171,119 | | | |
| Goodwill | | 92,517 | | | |
Net assets acquired | | 263,636 | | | |
| | | | |
Redeemable noncontrolling interest - Put option | | (12,975) | | | |
| Redeemable noncontrolling interest | | (76,141) | | | |
Total redeemable noncontrolling interest | | (89,116) | | | |
| | | | |
| Total purchase consideration | | $ | 174,520 | | | |
The Company recognized goodwill of $92.5 million (€78.4 million) related to the Exaion acquisition. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired. Goodwill is primarily attributed to growth and efficiency opportunities, expected synergies and expanded market opportunities. Goodwill associated with foreign subsidiaries is translated at the applicable reporting period end exchange rates, with translation adjustments recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.
Acquired intangible assets are amortized over the estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation and weighted average remaining useful lives for identified intangible assets acquired as of the acquisition date:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
| Category | | Acquired Intangible Assets | | Weighted Average Useful Life (in years) | | |
| Developed technology | | $ | 17,692 | | | 5 | | |
| Customer relationships | | 20,641 | | | 5 | | |
| Trade names | | 5,898 | | | 10 | | |
| Total acquired identifiable intangibles assets | | $ | 44,231 | | | | | |
Developed technology represents proprietary platforms supporting Exaion’s high-performance computing operations. Customer relationships reflect the value of existing contractual and non-contractual relationships, including those with key customers. Trade names represent established brand recognition in the European market. The fair values of intangible assets were estimated based on the use of discounted cash flow analyses, which use significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs.
In connection with the Exaion acquisition, the founding executives and EDF (collectively, the “Minority Shareholders”) hold a put option valued at $13.0 million (€11.0 million), determined using the Geometric Brownian Motion option pricing model, that entitles them to require the Company to repurchase 100% of their shares in Exaion for cash. The put option is exercisable during a defined three-month window beginning on the fourth anniversary of the acquisition date, with a redemption price based on the greater of (i) a fixed floor price or (ii) the price per share in a qualifying future equity issuance, subject to specified conditions. At the acquisition date, the Company recognized total redeemable noncontrolling interest in Exaion of $89.1 million, comprised of (i) a base noncontrolling interest of $76.1 million and (ii) the put option fair value of $13.0 million. The put option is embedded in, and inseparable from, the Minority Shareholders’ equity interest and exercisable solely at their option, outside the Company’s control. Accordingly, the redeemable noncontrolling interest is classified as mezzanine equity on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company initially measured the noncontrolling interest using the implied equity approach based on the option valuation. In addition, as of the acquisition date, the Company recognized a non-redeemable noncontrolling interest in MARA France, representing a third-party ownership interest not attributable to the Company. Refer to Note 11 – Equity and Mezzanine Equity, for further information.
The Company intends to grant performance-based stock units to certain key executives of Exaion in connection with the acquisition to incentivize such management and align their interests with the Company’s strategic objectives. As of June 30, 2026, no performance-based stock units had been granted and, accordingly, no related stock-based compensation expense has been recognized. Refer to Note 12 – Stock-based Compensation, for further information.
The transaction structure includes a potential future equity infusion of $129.7 million (€110.0 million) by the Company into Exaion in exchange for newly issued shares. This potential commitment is excluded from the initial consideration transferred, as it does not constitute contingent consideration, does not meet the definition of a derivative, and does not represent a present obligation. Accordingly, the Company will account for the equity infusion prospectively if and when the commitment is fulfilled.
The results of Exaion’s operations have been included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as of the acquisition date.
Pro forma financial information is not presented because the acquisition was not material to the Company’s financial results.
Meerkat Acquisition
On January 21, 2026, the Company acquired an operational data center located in Central Nebraska with 42 MW of nameplate capacity from Mining of the West, LLC (the “Meerkat Acquisition”) for total consideration of
$25.2 million, including transaction costs. The primary assets acquired were property and equipment of $25.2 million with immaterial working capital adjustments. The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition that did not meet the definition of a business. The total consideration was allocated based on the relative fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and no goodwill was recognized. This acquisition is intended to lower our average cost to mine, while strengthening our owned infrastructure footprint.
NOTE 4 – REVENUES
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The Company’s ongoing major or central operation is to provide bitcoin transaction verification services to the transaction requester, in addition to the Bitcoin network through a Company-operated mining pool as the Operator, and to provide a service of performing hash calculations to third-party pool operators alongside collectives of third-party Bitcoin miners (such collectives, “mining pools”) as a Participant.
The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated for those arrangements in which the Company is the Operator and Participant:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| (in thousands) | | 2026 | | 2025 | | 2026 | | 2025 | | |
| Revenues from contracts with customers | | | | | | | | | | |
| Mining operator - transaction fees | | $ | 1,044 | | | $ | 3,044 | | | $ | 2,052 | | | $ | 5,825 | | | |
| Mining participant | | 12,767 | | | 11,024 | | | 28,087 | | | 21,813 | | | |
Hosting services | | — | | | 1,164 | | | 1,085 | | | 2,315 | | | |
| Total revenues from contracts with customers | | 13,811 | | | 15,232 | | | 31,224 | | | 29,953 | | | |
| Mining operator - block rewards | | 156,492 | | | 218,309 | | | 312,742 | | | 414,668 | | | |
Other revenue (1) | | 4,578 | | | 4,944 | | | 5,529 | | | 7,748 | | | |
| Total revenues | | $ | 174,881 | | | $ | 238,485 | | | $ | 349,495 | | | $ | 452,369 | | | |
(1) Other revenue primarily consists of amounts generated from third-party software arrangements supporting the Company’s Bitcoin mining operations, as well as revenues from the Exaion acquisition. Refer to Note 3 – Acquisitions and Strategic Partnerships, for further information.
Mining Operator
As Operator, the Company provides transaction verification services to the transaction requester, in addition to the Bitcoin network. Transaction verification services are an output of the Company’s ordinary activities; therefore, the Company views the transaction requester as a customer and recognizes the transaction fees as revenue from contracts with customers under ASC 606. The Bitcoin network is not an entity such that it does not meet the definition of a customer; however, the Company has concluded that it is appropriate to apply ASC 606 by analogy to block rewards earned from the Bitcoin network.
For each contract, inception and completion occur simultaneously upon block validation. Each contract contains a single performance obligation to perform a transaction validation service, which is satisfied at the point-in-time when a block is successfully validated. At contract inception, the parties’ rights, transaction price, and payment terms are fixed and each party retains a unilateral enforceable right to terminate their respective contracts at any time without penalty.
In accordance with ASC 606-10-32-21, non-cash consideration (block reward and transaction fees), which is fixed as of the inception of each individual contract, is measured at the quoted spot rate for bitcoin determined using the Company’s primary trading platform for bitcoin at the time the Company successfully validates a block. The Company is currently entitled to the block reward of 3.125 bitcoin, subsequent to the halving that occurred on April 19, 2024, as well as the transaction fees paid by the transaction requester, each payable in bitcoin.
Mining Participant
As a Participant, the Company provides a service to perform hash calculations to the third-party pool operators, which it considers its customers under ASC 606. The duration of a contract is less than a day and may be continuously renewed multiple times throughout the day. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company participated in Full-Pay-Per-Share (“FPPS”) mining pools, under which compensation consists of block rewards and transactions fees, less pool operator fess, determined daily over a 24-hour UTC period. Non-cash consideration is estimated at contract inception with reasonable certainty and recognized on the same day control transfers to the pool operator, measured using the simple average daily spot rate of bitcoin determined using the Company’s primary trading platform.
Hosting Services
The Company operates multiple Bitcoin mining sites that previously provided colocation and managed services to institutional-scale crypto mining companies. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had no remaining customers associated with hosting services. Accordingly, no hosting services revenue was recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2026.
NOTE 5 – DIGITAL ASSETS
Digital assets
The following table presents the Company’s significant digital asset holdings as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively:

Digital assets - receivable, net
Lending
The Company has entered into master securities loan agreements with various counterparties to generate returns from a portion of our bitcoin holdings. Amounts loaned under these arrangements are recognized as digital asset loan receivables. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had loaned a total of 9,377 bitcoin to counterparties under these agreements. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recalled 4,635 bitcoin, reducing the total bitcoin loaned under these agreements to 4,742 bitcoin.
Trading
The Company may, from time to time, enter into structured arrangements to actively manage a portion of the Company’s bitcoin holdings with the intent of generating returns while limiting downside risk. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, an immaterial portion of the Company’s bitcoin holdings were held in such accounts.
Borrowing
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had 4,528 and 5,938 bitcoin pledged as collateral, respectively. Of the bitcoin pledged as collateral, 4,253 bitcoin secured outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit, while the remaining 275 bitcoin were pledged for other bitcoin arrangements.

Digital assets - receivable, net | | $ | 540,868 | | | $ | 1,336,868 | |
The aforementioned digital asset receivables are initially recognized at fair value upon transfer and subsequently remeasured at fair value each reporting period. The changes in fair value are recognized as “Change in fair value of digital assets - receivable, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The allowance for credit losses reflects the Company’s current estimate of the potential credit losses associated with bitcoin used in lending and structured trading arrangements, and bitcoin pledged as collateral in connection with outstanding borrowings. The credit loss is recorded as a valuation account, directly offsetting the digital asset receivables on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the allowance for credit losses on loans,
based on quarterly analyses, are recorded as provision for credit losses within “Other” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company assesses the creditworthiness of its borrowers on a quarterly basis. For the purpose of determining the allowance for credit loss, financial assets with similar risk characteristics are pooled together. Our financial assets are aggregated by exposure term and assigned risk ratings. The Company considers credit ratings and various other factors, including the collateral and/or security of the digital asset receivable. The Company’s considerations are aligned with current ratings used by major credit ratings agencies.
Given the limited historical data related to digital asset receivables and losses incurred related to digital asset receivables, the Company chose to rely on external data to perform the calculation of expected credit losses. The Company utilized the profitability of default (“PD”) loss given default (“LGD”) approach to estimate the allowance for credit loss. In order to apply the PD LGD approach, management considered the lifetime of the digital asset receivables, the reasonable and supportable forecast, and the PD LGD.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company recorded a corresponding allowance for credit loss of $1.6 million, based on the PD LGD approach. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had digital asset receivables outstanding and recorded an allowance for credit loss of $3.2 million.

NOTE 9 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Company measures certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability.
The levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
| | | | | | | | |
| Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
| | |
| Level 2: | Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data |
| | |
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions |
The carrying amounts reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other receivables, deposits, prepaid expenses and other current assets, advances to vendors, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. Additionally, the carrying amounts reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the Company’s operating lease liabilities and other long-term liabilities approximate fair value as the related interest rates approximate rates currently available to the Company.
Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. The Company measures the fair value of its marketable securities and investments by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing sources. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs include
reported trades of broker-dealer quotes on the same or similar securities, issuer credit spreads, benchmark securities and other observable inputs.
Recurring measurement of fair value
The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the Company’s estimated level within the fair value hierarchy for each of those assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively:

There were no reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. There was no accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Noncontrolling Interests
As of June 30, 2026, noncontrolling interests in stockholders’ equity totaled $16.4 million. This amount represents the non-redeemable portion of third-party ownership interests in consolidated subsidiaries. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, noncontrolling interests in stockholders’ equity increased primarily as a result of the
issuance of a noncontrolling interests in MARA France made in connection with the acquisition of Exaion, among other activity across our consolidated subsidiaries with noncontrolling ownership. Changes in noncontrolling interests in stockholders’ equity are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity. Refer to Note 3 – Acquisitions and Strategic Partnerships, for further information on MARA France.
Mezzanine Equity
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
In connection with the Exaion acquisition, the Minority Shareholders hold a put option that entitles them to require the Company to repurchase 100% of their shares in Exaion for cash. The put option is embedded in, and inseparable from, the Minority Shareholders’ equity interest and exercisable solely at their option, outside the Company’s control. Accordingly, the redeemable noncontrolling interest is classified as mezzanine equity on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 3 – Acquisitions and Strategic Partnerships, for further information.
Redeemable noncontrolling interests are initially recorded at fair value at the date of issuance. Subsequently, the carrying amount is adjusted to the redemption value at each reporting period, if the redeemable noncontrolling interest is currently redeemable, or probable of becoming redeemable, with any changes recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. As of June 30, 2026, the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest had not been adjusted to the redemption value as redemption was not considered probable.
The following table presents changes in redeemable noncontrolling interest as of June 30, 2026:

NOTE 12 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
2018 Equity Incentive Plan
The Company’s Amended and Restated 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) provides for the issuance of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), preferred stock and other awards to employees, directors, consultants and other service providers.
In June 2026, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the 2018 Plan that increased the number of shares authorized for issuance thereunder by 18,000,000 shares. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had an aggregate of 23,863,641 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the 2018 Plan.
The Company grants awards to employees under annual long-term incentive plans (“LTIP”) to align the incentive structure to the long-term goals of the Company, promote retention, and promote the achievement of targeted results. LTIP awards have included service-based RSUs and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”). PSUs vest subject to the Company’s achievement of defined performance measures and continued employment.
Restricted Stock Units
The Company grants service-based RSUs to employees, directors, and consultants. RSUs granted to employees generally vest over a four-year period from the date of grant; however, in certain instances, all or a portion of a grant may vest immediately. RSUs granted to directors generally vest over a one-year period. The Company measures the
fair value of RSUs at the grant date and recognizes expenses on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period from the date of grant for each separately-vesting tranche under the graded-vesting attribution method.
A summary of the Company’s service-based RSU activity is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Number of RSUs | | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |

| | | |
Nonvested at June 30, 2026 | 12,385,624 | | | $ | 11.47 | |
As of June 30, 2026, there was approximately $68.0 million of aggregate unrecognized stock-based compensation related to unvested service-based RSUs that is expected to be recognized over the next 2.3 years.
Performance-based Restricted Stock Units
The Company grants PSUs to certain employees as part of its long-term incentive plans. PSUs generally vest based on the achievement of predefined performance-based and market-based conditions over a specified performance period, typically over a three to four year period from the date of grant, and continued employment through the vesting date. The performance-based conditions are primarily based on financial and operational metrics aligned with the Company’s long-term strategic objectives. The number of PSUs that are subject to vest can range between 0% and 249% of the target award amount, based on the level of achievement of the applicable performance-based and market-based conditions.
A summary of the Company’s PSU activity is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Number of PSUs | | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value (1) |

| | | |
Nonvested at June 30, 2026 | 8,861,070 | | | $ | 10.67 | |
(1) Weighted average grant date fair value reflects the incremental impact of the Company’s modified 2024 LTIP awards, which resulted in a 200% achievement of the target level as of the December 2024 modification date.
As of June 30, 2026, there was approximately $76.6 million of aggregate unrecognized stock-based compensation related to unvested PSUs that is expected to be recognized over the next 1.8 years.
Subsidiary Stock-based Compensation
In connection with the Exaion acquisition, a management incentive plan (the “Exaion MIP”) was authorized to incentivize certain employees of Exaion and align their interests with the Company’s strategic objectives by providing for the grant of shares of Exaion up to a maximum of 10.2% of Exaion’s fully diluted share capital.
As of June 30, 2026, no awards had been granted under the Exaion MIP, and no compensation cost has been recognized.

Additionally, as of June 30, 2026, the Company has classified the $291.6 million remaining principal of the June 2031 Notes as a current liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as the holders’ option to require the repurchase of the notes at a repurchased price equal to 100% of the principal amount, becomes exercisable in June 2027.
The Company has historically accessed capital markets, refinanced existing debt and issued new debt; however, such financing may not always be available. As of June 30, 2026, the Company believes it has sufficient liquid resources, including cash and cash equivalents of $421.3 million and the fair value of the Company’s bitcoin holdings of $2.1 billion, including digital assets - receivable, net, to meet its current obligations.

(2) Date of Holder Put Option represents the dates upon which noteholders of the applicable Convertible Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all and any portion of their respective Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid special interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
March 2030 Notes and June 2031 Notes Partial Extinguishment of Debt
On March 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, the Company entered into individual, privately negotiated repurchase agreements with certain holders of its March 2030 Notes and June 2031 Notes (together the “Repurchased Notes”) to repurchase approximately $367.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the March 2030 Notes and approximately $633.4 million in aggregate principal amount of the June 2031 Notes, respectively. The repurchases are treated as an extinguishment of debt. The Company recorded a $70.6 million gain on extinguishment of debt based on the carrying value of the Repurchased Notes, cash paid and related transaction costs on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company may, from time to time, seek to repurchase additional notes prior to the maturity date, whether through privately negotiated purchases, open market purchases, or otherwise.
Line of Credit
In October 2024, the Company secured lines of credit (the “Original Line of Credit”), and in March 2025, the Company entered into a new line of credit (the “New Line of Credit”, and collectively with the Original Line of Credit, the “Previous Line of Credit”). In January 2026, the Company entered into an additional line of credit (the “2026 Line of Credit” and together with the Previous Line of Credit, the “Line of Credit”), with a new counterparty
for total borrowings of $150.0 million, collateralized by 3,250 bitcoin. The 2026 Line of Credit bears interest at a rate of 7.0% per annum and has a maturity date of January 2027.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company drew $150.0 million under the 2026 Line of Credit and concurrently transferred bitcoin to the counterparty as collateral with a fair value, at the time of transfer, of $334.6 million. The Company used the proceeds of the 2026 Line of Credit, together with proceeds from bitcoin sales, to fully repay the outstanding borrowings under the Previous Line of Credit.
As of June 30, 2026, the aggregate outstanding balance under the Line of Credit was $150.0 million. The Line of Credit is collateralized by 4,253 bitcoin and includes provisions requiring the collateral to be balanced against the outstanding borrowings. If the value of the collateral securing our borrowings fluctuates below or above a set threshold, the Company will be required to contribute additional collateral, or may withdraw excess collateral, as applicable, to maintain the agreed-upon level. Pledged bitcoin is not available for other uses while the Line of Credit remains outstanding.

NOTE 14 – LEASES
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had operating and finance leases primarily for office space, mining facilities and land in the United States and internationally.
The Company is party to an arrangement for the use of energized cryptocurrency mining facilities under which the Company pays for electricity per megawatt based on usage. The Company has determined that it has embedded operating leases at two of the facilities governed by this arrangement and has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components. Payment for these two operating leases is entirely variable and based on usage of electricity and expensed as incurred.

NOTE 15 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
Acquisitions and Partnerships
On February 26, 2026, the Company entered into a Strategic Agreement with Starwood to jointly develop, finance and operate AI and HPC infrastructure. Under the Strategic Agreement, the Company has committed to contribute certain sites to and retain up to 50% ownership interest in a newly formed joint venture. As of June 30, 2026, all sites continue to be deemed held by the Company and used in the Company’s operations, as none have advanced beyond the pre-development phase, and the other conditions required for contribution have not been satisfied. In addition, uncertainty remains regarding the timing of any potential contribution and the Company’s resulting retained ownership interests. Under the Strategic Agreement, the Company is responsible for funding all approved pursuit costs during the pre-development phase, with $136.3 million approved in the aggregate across all sites. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had incurred approximately $11.0 million in pre-development costs.
On April 29, 2026, the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement to acquire Long Ridge for an enterprise value of approximately $1.5 billion, including the assumption of Long Ridge’s indebtedness of up to approximately $900.0 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. As part of the acquisition, the Company intends to
assume Long Ridge’s existing senior secured notes due 2032, with an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $600.0 million. Because the acquisition would have constituted a change of control under the indenture governing the notes, triggering a mandatory offer to repurchase all outstanding notes at 101% of par, the Company completed a consent solicitation in May 2026, receiving requisite consents from a majority of holders to amend the indenture such that the closing of the acquisition will not constitute a change of control thereunder. The proposed amendments will become operative upon consummation of the acquisition. The acquisition has not yet closed and remains subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Additionally, subsequent to June 30, 2026, the Company acquired MAT 1177 LLC (the “Project Company”) from HIF USA LLC (“HIF”) for an aggregate purchase price of up to $600.0 million, structured as post-closing milestone payments. Refer to Note 3 – Acquisitions and Strategic Partnerships and Note 18 – Subsequent Events for further information.
Miners and Other Mining Equipment
As of June 30, 2026, the Company paid approximately $49.1 million in deposits and payments towards the purchase of miners and other mining equipment pursuant to new and existing purchasing agreements. As of June 30, 2026, remaining commitments of approximately $64.6 million were outstanding.
The Company contracts with service providers for hosting its equipment and operational support in data centers where its equipment is deployed. Under these arrangements, the Company expects to pay approximately $314.1 million in total payments over the next two years.
Contingent Consideration Liabilities
In connection with certain acquisitions, the Company may be required to make additional payments to the sellers contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of June 30, 2026, the estimated fair value of total contingent consideration was approximately $25.3 million. Refer to Note 3 – Acquisitions and Strategic Partnerships, for further information.

Ho v. MARA
On January 14, 2021, plaintiff Michael Ho (“Ho”) filed a civil complaint alleging, among other things, that the Company breached a non-disclosure agreement, profited from commercially sensitive information he shared with the Company, and refused to compensate him for his role in securing the Company’s acquisition of an energy supplier. The complaint initially alleged six causes of action: (1) breach of written contract, (2) breach of implied contract, (3) quasi-contract, (4) services rendered, (5) intentional interference with prospective economic relations and (6) negligent interference with prospective economic relations.
On February 22, 2021, the Company filed a general denial of the claims and asserted certain affirmative defenses. On February 25, 2021, the Company removed the action to the United States District Court in the Central District of California. The Company subsequently filed a motion for summary judgment on each cause of action. As a result of the court’s summary judgment ruling and Ho’s voluntary dismissal of certain claims, the only remaining cause of action at the time of verdict was breach of written contract.
On July 8, 2024, the court commenced a jury trial on the sole remaining claim. On July 18, 2024, the jury found that the Company had breached the non-disclosure agreement and returned a verdict in the amount of $138.8 million. On September 18, 2024, the court entered a judgment in the same amount, plus post-judgment interest. The Company has not paid any portion of the award.
On October 16, 2024, the Company filed a renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law (or, in the alternative, for a new trial and remittitur), seeking to overturn or significantly reduce the damages award. On the same date, the Company filed a motion to correct the post-judgment interest rate set forth in the judgment, and Ho filed a motion requesting an award of pre-judgment interest. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company obtained a surety bond for the amount owing.
On May 7, 2025, the court denied the Company’s motions for judgment as a matter of law and for a new trial but granted a 20 percent reduction of the jury’s verdict. The court also denied Ho’s motion for pre-verdict prejudgment interest but awarded post-verdict prejudgment interest. On June 2, 2025, the Company filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and on September 25, 2025, the Company filed its opening appeal brief. Briefing concluded on January 16, 2026.

NOTE 18 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 2, 2026, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a membership interest purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with HIF to acquire all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of the Project Company, a Delaware limited liability company, resulting in the Project Company becoming an indirect subsidiary of the Company. The Project Company holds (i) rights under certain purchase and sale contracts to acquire land located in Matagorda County, Texas (the “Site Under Contract”), (ii) title to an additional parcel of adjacent land (the “Owned Parcel” and, together with the Site Under Contract, the “Site”) and (iii) rights under a letter agreement with an electric utility company relating to the provision of 2,000 MW of power capacity to the Site. The Company intends to develop the Site as a large-scale digital infrastructure campus capable of supporting high-performance computing workloads, as well as flexible compute operations, including Bitcoin mining. The transaction closed simultaneously with the execution of the Purchase Agreement.
Under the Purchase Agreement, the aggregate purchase price is structured as a series of post-closing milestone payments tied to specified project development events, consisting of, among other things: (i) receipt of certain regulatory approvals and the Project Company’s acquisition of the Site Under Contract; (ii) the Site being authorized to receive power; and (iii) upon execution of a data center lease with a third-party tenant, HIF’s retention of a minority interest in the Site. Assuming all milestones are achieved, the aggregate purchase price would be $600.0 million. The milestone payments are required to be paid as and when the applicable development milestones are achieved, as well as additional payments in the event of certain shortfalls. The Purchase Agreement contains
customary representations and warranties and covenants, including covenants relating to the Company’s use of commercially reasonable efforts to obtain certain of the approvals contemplated therein. The Company’s initial accounting under ASC 805 for the acquisition of the Project Company is incomplete as of the date of this report.
On August 4, 2026, the Company entered into two bitcoin-backed term loan facilities with Coinbase Credit, Inc. (“Coinbase”) and Two Prime Lending Limited (“Two Prime”) providing for $600.0 million of incremental borrowings. The Coinbase facility refinances and consolidates the Company’s existing $150.0 million 2026 Line of Credit with Coinbase and provides $300.0 million of additional funding. The Coinbase facility bears interest at a floating rate equal to the arithmetic average of the upper and lower bounds of the target range for federal funds transactions plus 3.875% per annum. The $300.0 million Two Prime facility bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.65% per annum. The facilities mature on August 4, 2028 and August 3, 2028, respectively, with the Coinbase facility subject to an automatic one-year extension unless timely canceled by either party. In connection with these facilities, 18,750 bitcoin, with a fair value of approximately $1.2 billion, were pledged as initial collateral as of August 4, 2026, the closing date of both transactions. The Company expects to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including funding a portion of the cash consideration for the Long Ridge acquisition.
