As per Benzinga Pro, MARA reached a market cap of $9.03 billion as of Friday’s pre-market hours. This comes on the heels of Bitcoin BTC/USD rising steadily and reaching a $96,000 level. At the time of writing, BTC was valued at $97,375.73. \nMeanwhile, other companies with significant bitcoin holding such as MicroStrategy Inc. MSTR clocked a market cap of $93.99 billion while Coinbase Global Inc. COIN clocked a market cap $80.87 billion.\nIn July, MARA Holdings opted for a “full HODL” strategy for its Bitcoin treasury policy and retailed all Bitcoin mines while periodically making strategic open market purchases.\nOn Thursday, MARA expanded its Bitcoin holdings by issuing $1 billion in zero-coupon convertible senior notes. This allowed the company to pick an additional 703 Bitcoins, bringing the total number of Bitcoins purchased through this issuance to 6,474. Currently, MARA has 34,794 Bitcoins in its holdings. \nThiel celebrated the company’s record-high market cap and an impressive month of mining, with an energized hash rate nearing 50 EH/s.\nHe ended with an optimistic “Must be something still to come to top off MARA's 2024…or?”\nSee Also: Remember James Howells Who Lost His Hard Drive With 8,000 Bitcoins Now Worth $760M?

Based on the ratings of 17 analysts, the consensus price target for the company is $23.83, as per Benzinga Pro data. However, the three most recent analyst ratings by Barclays, Compass Point, and Macquarie imply a 2.28% downside for MARA.\n\nWhy It Matters: The company’s third-quarter earnings report in November revealed a 35% year-over-year increase in total revenue, although it missed revenue and EPS estimates. MARA’s energized hash rate rose by 9% to 40.2 EH/s, and the company mined 2,070 Bitcoins during the quarter.\nHowever, the broader market context shows challenges. Bitcoin’s recent price decline affected stocks like MARA, MicroStrategy and Coinbase. These stocks fell by 3.63%, 3.33%, and 3.40%, respectively, as Bitcoin’s rally stalled. \nThiel recently requested the incoming Trump administration to enhance U.S. Bitcoin mining operations. By increasing its share of the global hash rate, MARA aims to protect U.S. economic interests and maintain a competitive advantage in the cryptocurrency market.\nRead Next: \n\nPepe Set to Join Dogecoin, Shiba Inu As Multi-Billion Dollar Meme Coin By 2025: ‘Massive Breakout’ Coming\n\nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of Benzinga Neuro and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.\nImage via Shutterstock Market News and Data brought to you by Benzinga APIs© 2024 Benzinga.com.

Celebrating a record high market cap and record high HODL with an excellent month of mining almost in the record books and energized hash rate nearing 50 EH/s……Must be something still to come to top off MARA's… https://t.co/vNZ9BbAmNn— Fred Thiel (@fgthiel) November 28, 2024\n\nAt the time of writing, MARA was up by 2.23%. Based on the ratings of 17 analysts, the consensus price target for the company is $23.83, as per Benzinga Pro data. However, the three most recent analyst ratings by Barclays, Compass Point, and Macquarie imply a 2.28% downside for MARA.\n\nWhy It Matters: The company’s third-quarter earnings report in November revealed a 35% year-over-year increase in total revenue, although it missed revenue and EPS estimates. MARA’s energized hash rate rose by 9% to 40.2 EH/s, and the company mined 2,070 Bitcoins during the quarter.\nHowever, the broader market context shows challenges. Bitcoin’s recent price decline affected stocks like MARA, MicroStrategy and Coinbase. These stocks fell by 3.63%, 3.33%, and 3.40%, respectively, as Bitcoin’s rally stalled. \nThiel recently requested the incoming Trump administration to enhance U.S. Bitcoin mining operations. By increasing its share of the global hash rate, MARA aims to protect U.S. economic interests and maintain a competitive advantage in the cryptocurrency market.\nRead Next: \n\nPepe Set to Join Dogecoin, Shiba Inu As Multi-Billion Dollar Meme Coin By 2025: ‘Massive Breakout’ Coming\n\nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of Benzinga Neuro and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.\nImage via Shutterstock Market News and Data brought to you by Benzinga APIs© 2024 Benzinga.com.
