Marathon Digital Holdings Announces Bitcoin Production and Mining Updates for October 2022

• Produced a Record 615 BTC in October 2022

• Total Bitcoin Holdings increased to 11,285 BTC with a fair market value of $231.3 million

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 2, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Marathon Digital Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:MARA) (“Marathon” or “Company”)a leader in supporting and securing the Bitcoin ecosystem, today published unaudited bitcoin (“BTC”) production and mining installation updates for October 2022.

Management commentary
“October was the most productive month in Marathon’s history both in terms of hash rate growth and bitcoin production,” said Fred Thiel, Marathon’s Chairman and CEO. “Energizing approximately 32,000 of our miners during the month allowed us to increase our hashrate by approximately 84% from approximately 3.8 exahashes per second on September 30th to approximately 7.0 exahashes per second on November 1st. , we were able to produce a record 615 bitcoin in October. With S19 XPs now being delivered and new facilities under construction, we believe we are well positioned to continue building on our recent momentum to reach 23 exahashes per second by 2023.”

Recent Highlights

• Produced the record 615 BTC in October 2022

• As of 1 November, the operational mining fleet consisted of approx. 69,000 active miners, who produced approx. 7.0 EH/s, after approx. 32,000 miners (about 3.2 EH/s) were successfully energized during October 2022

• Year to date through October 31, 2022, produced 3,197 BTC, an increase of 27% over the same time period the previous year

• Total bitcoin holdings increased to 11,285 BTC with a fair market value of approximately $231.3 million as of October 31, 2022

• Unlimited bitcoin holdings were approximately 3,464 BTC with a fair market value of approximately $71.0 million

• Unrestricted cash balance was approximately $52.1 million at October 31, 2022

Updates for mining and installations
In October, approx. 32,000 of Marathon’s previously installed miners, representing approx. 3.2 EH/s, successfully activated and brought online. As a result, the company’s hash rate increased to approximately 7.0 EH/s (approximately 69,000 active miners) as of November 1, 2022.

The story continues

Based on the current construction and installation plans provided to Marathon by the host suppliers, the company continues to expect to have enough miners installed to generate approximately 23 EH/s near the middle of fiscal year 2023.

Once all of Marathon’s previously purchased miners are installed, approximately 66% of the company’s hash rate is expected to be generated by S19 XPs, which are approximately 30% more energy efficient than the previous generation. As a result, when fully operational, Marathon’s Bitcoin mining operations are currently expected to be among the largest and most energy efficient on a per terahash basis.
