How we checked this
Checked on October 11, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The document confirms that MARA formed a venture with Starwood Digital Ventures targeting more than a gigawatt in the near term. It never uses the name Marathon Digital.
Confirmed in the source:
- MARA formed a venture with Starwood Digital Ventures
- The Starwood venture targets more than a gigawatt in the near term
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- That the company forming the venture is Marathon Digital: the document names the company only as MARA / MARA Holdings and never uses or links the name Marathon Digital
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.
