Long Ridge approval and Bitcoin moves push MARA further into AI infrastructure execution

The FERC sign off on Long Ridge and the use of Bitcoin backed funding both push the MARA Holdings Narrative deeper into the energy plus AI thesis rather than leaving it as theory. This development directly ties into the 4.8 GW powered land catalyst and the funding trade offs flagged in the Narrative. The business is leaning harder on its crypto balance sheet and debt capacity to secure 0.5 GW of gas generation that can underpin future AI and high performance computing projects, which tightens the link between Bitcoin volatility, capital structure and progress on the AI buildout.

See how these catalysts shape MARA Holdings' path to a $18.61 fair value.

For this update to really matter to you as a shareholder, the key evidence will be what comes after closing targeted by 30 November 2026. Watch for concrete steps such as disclosure of initial AI and high performance computing tenant interest at Long Ridge, any signed power or hosting agreements across the 4.8 GW portfolio and clearer terms on how the US$900 million of debt and US$600 million Bitcoin backed loan affect interest costs and flexibility.
