Mara Holdings reports October BTC production up 2% from previous month

“October was our best month of bitcoin production since April’s halving event as uptime remained strong and we grew our energized hash rate to 40.2 EH/s, a 14% increase over September,” said Fred Thiel, MARA‘s chairman and CEO. “Despite a slight month-over-month decrease in block wins, driven by the growth in global hash rate and the resulting rise in difficulty level, BTC production increased by 2% to 717 BTC. Transaction fees accounted for approximately 5% of the total, with one particular transaction generating a fee of 3.217 BTC and another generating a fee of 2.665 BTC. We believe that our proprietary technology platforms such as Slipstream and MARAPool, our proprietary mining pool, allow us to capture all potential benefits and take advantage of higher transaction fees as they arise.” Energized Hash Rate increased 14% to 40.2 from 35.2 in the previous month.
