Bitcoin miner MARA Holdings secured $600 million in loans from Coinbase Credit and Two Prime Lending on August 4, 2026, pledging 18,750 BTC (valued at approximately $1.2 billion) as collateral to finance expansion into artificial intelligence infrastructure and power generation. The move comes amid concerns after the company sold nearly all its mined Bitcoin and MARA stock dropped 10.9% following the announcement.
MARA Holdings swung to a $611.3 million net loss in Q2 2026 despite record production, driven by a 28% decline in Bitcoin's average price and markdown of holdings. CleanSpark also reported significant revenue drops, with MARA's revenue falling 27% year-over-year to $174.9 million and CleanSpark posting $138 million in quarterly revenue.
