According to @FarsideUK, bitcoin mining firm MARA Holdings (MARA) is approaching a major milestone, holding 49,940 bitcoin (BTC) valued at approximately $5.3 billion. This positions MARA as the second-largest publicly traded bitcoin holder, trailing only MicroStrategy (MSTR), as stated in its June production update. For traders, a key operational metric showed a 25% decline in blocks won for June, which the company attributed to weather-related issues and temporary machine deployments. Despite this, MARA is targeting a significant expansion to a 75 exahash hash rate by the end of the year, a 40% increase from the end of last year. The company's stock (MARA) showed immediate sensitivity to the crypto market, with shares falling 2.7% in premarket trading following an overnight dip in bitcoin's price to $106,400.

According to Farside Investors, all the main listed cryptocurrency miners have published their June 2024 production figures, except for HIVE Blockchain Technologies ($HIVE). The data reveals the significant impact of the Bitcoin halving event on mining output.
