How we checked this
Checked on October 11, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The article confirms that MARA Holdings agreed to buy Long Ridge Energy for about $1.5 billion. It never uses the name Marathon Digital or says that MARA Holdings is the same company, so the article does not establish the acquirer's name as the claim states it.
Confirmed in the source:
- MARA Holdings has agreed to acquire Long Ridge Energy
- The Long Ridge Energy deal is valued at approximately $1.5 billion
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- That the acquirer is the company named Marathon Digital (the source names it only as MARA Holdings / MARA)
That does not mean it is false — only that this source does not establish it, as of the date above. If we find a source that settles it, we will re-check and update this page.
