MARA Holdings, Inc.

Current report

The proposed acquisition of Long Ridge is subject to numerous closing conditions and may not be consummated on the anticipated timeline, or at all, and the failure to complete the acquisition could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Current report

The closing of the acquisition of Long Ridge is subject to a number of conditions that may not be satisfied or waived, including the accuracy of representations and warranties, compliance with covenants, receipt of necessary regulatory approvals and the receipt of amendments or waivers under certain existing agreements of the sellers or their subsidiaries. We cannot guarantee that all required conditions will be satisfied or that the acquisition will be completed on the anticipated timeline, or at all. If the acquisition is not consummated by November 30, 2026 (which deadline may be extended to June 30, 2027 if certain regulatory conditions have not been satisfied by such date), we could be required to pay the sellers a termination fee of $75.0 million, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity. Even absent a termination fee obligation, a failure to close could result in significant costs, management distraction and damage to our relationships with counterparties, employees and investors. Furthermore, the acquisition represents a key component of our digital energy infrastructure strategy, and a failure to consummate it would delay or prevent our planned expansion of power generation capacity and development of HPC and digital infrastructure at our Hannibal, Ohio campus, requiring us to identify and pursue alternative means of executing on our strategy, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.

Current report

To finance a portion of the approximately $1.5 billion purchase price, we have obtained a commitment from Barclays Bank PLC to provide a 364-day senior secured bridge term loan facility of up to $785.0 million, subject to customary conditions. There can be no assurance that we will be able to draw on this facility or secure alternative or permanent financing on acceptable terms, or at all, which could prevent or delay the closing and materially adversely affect our business and financial condition.

Current report

The acquisition also involves complex ancillary obligations, including cooperation with consent solicitations or change of control offers under the indenture governing Long Ridge Energy LLC's 8.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2032, and the negotiation and closing of certain railroad-related asset agreements concurrent with the closing. Failure to obtain the required consents or to finalize these ancillary agreements on acceptable terms could delay or prevent the acquisition from closing.

Current report

Even if the acquisition is consummated, we may not realize the anticipated strategic and financial benefits, including expected accretion to profitability, expansion of our power generation capacity, which currently stands at 485 MW nameplate capacity and is expected to increase to 505 MW in the second half of 2026, and development of additional HPC and digital infrastructure at our Hannibal, Ohio campus. Integration may prove more difficult, costly or time-consuming than anticipated, and we may face unanticipated liabilities, regulatory challenges or operational disruptions. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and the market price of our securities.

Previous report

Our bitcoin lending arrangements expose us to risks of nonrepayment by borrowers, operational failures and cybersecurity threats, and a material portion of our bitcoin holdings is subject to these risks.

Previous report

We generate income through bitcoin lending arrangements. As of September 30, 2025, approximately 10,377 bitcoin were loaned to third parties under such arrangements, representing a material portion of our total bitcoin holdings. Lending bitcoin involves risk of default, particularly in a highly volatile market. Borrowers may fail to repay their loans due to market downturns, fraud or other financial challenges. As our bitcoin loans are unsecured, they would rank subordinate to a borrower’s secured loans if the borrower becomes insolvent. Accordingly, we may be unable to recover part or all of the loaned bitcoin, which could result in substantial financial losses.

Previous report

Additionally, digital asset lending platforms are vulnerable to operational and cybersecurity risks. Technical failures, software bugs or system outages could disrupt lending activities, cause transaction errors or result in inaccurate record-keeping. Cybersecurity threats, including hacking, phishing, social engineering and other malicious attacks, pose further risks, potentially leading to the loss, theft or misappropriation of our loaned bitcoin. A successful cyberattack or security breach involving our loaned bitcoin could materially and adversely impact our financial position, reputation and ability to conduct future lending activities.

Previous report

Our use of a separately managed account to actively manage a portion of our bitcoin holdings exposes us to significant risks, including market losses, loss of control, counterparty failure and the potential loss of part or all of our investment.

Previous report

As of September 30, 2025, we held approximately 1,903 bitcoin in a separately managed account with a third-party manager that exercises discretionary authority to actively trade the bitcoin. This structure exposes us to numerous risks beyond those associated with passive holding, including losses resulting from poor investment decisions, trading errors, leverage, concentration or unfavorable market movements.

Previous report

We do not control the day-to-day management of the account, and we may have limited visibility into the specific strategies, counterparties, or risk exposures involved. The third-party manager or custodian may suffer from operational failures, cybersecurity incidents, mismanagement, fraud or insolvency, any of which could impair our ability to recover some or all of the bitcoin held in the account.

Previous report

In the event of a material adverse event affecting the manager, custodian or the trading strategy, we could lose a significant portion, or the entirety, of our investment in the account. Such a loss could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Previous report

Targeted energy or property regulations and taxes could increase our costs and adversely affect our business.

Previous report

Bitcoin mining requires significant energy consumption, and our operations could be negatively impacted by government regulations or taxes specifically targeting energy usage in digital asset mining. Federal, state or local authorities may impose restrictions on energy consumption, mandate the use of renewable energy sources or implement higher electricity rates for mining operations, increasing our operating costs. Additionally, governments may introduce taxes on energy usage or carbon emissions that disproportionately affect Bitcoin miners, further reducing our profitability. If regulatory or tax burdens make mining economically unviable in certain jurisdictions, we may be forced to relocate operations, secure alternative power sources at higher costs or scale back our Bitcoin mining activities, all of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Previous report

Moreover, our Bitcoin mining operations may be negatively impacted by new land use and property laws, regulations or taxes enacted by state or local governments. Governmental authorities have and may continue to pursue and implement legislation and regulation that seeks to limit greenhouse gas emissions and noise generated by our facilities, which could adversely affect our ability to source electricity or mine bitcoin in a potentially material manner. For example, residents of Hood County, Texas, have proposed to incorporate the land housing our Granbury, Texas Bitcoin mining facility. If the land surrounding our Granbury, Texas facility is incorporated, the newly formed municipality could impose additional restrictions and taxes on our operations. New legislation and regulation in other jurisdictions housing our operations could also negatively impact the profitability of our power generation and Bitcoin mining facilities, which could adversely impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
