Marathon Digital Holdings was renamed MARA Holdings, Inc. effective 2024/2025, repositioning itself as an energy and digital infrastructure company rather than a pure-play bitcoin miner. Earlier history not covered in these 2023-2025 10-K filings.
The company executed a strategic pivot from an asset-light model (relying on third-party hosted mining sites) to owned infrastructure, increasing owned-capacity proportion to approximately 70% by 2024-2025. This transition involved acquiring 16-18 data centers across North America, the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America, with total capacity reaching ~1.9 GW by fiscal 2025. The company acquired a majority stake in Exaion SaS, a European HPC data center operator, and entered a joint venture with Starwood Digital Ventures to develop AI and HPC infrastructure across select power-rich sites, with initial target capacity exceeding 1 GW and potential to expand to 2.5+ GW.
Core revenue currently derives from bitcoin mining operations (approximately 400,000 mining rigs as of end-2024), where the company treats bitcoin holdings as a productive asset, generating incremental income through lending arrangements, structured trading strategies, and collateralized financing. The company simultaneously expanded into AI inference, high-performance computing, and data center infrastructure sales to third parties. Mining capacity is being reallocated to support these higher-margin compute workloads while maintaining bitcoin operations at certain sites.
Monetization beyond mining includes selling excess power capacity and dispatchable compute services to grid operators, data center infrastructure sales (immersion-cooled systems), and low-cost energy initiatives through owned power generation assets. The company positions bitcoin mining as a flexible workload that can absorb stranded and underutilized power. As of 2025, Marathon claims to be among the largest holders of bitcoin among publicly traded companies, with holdings primarily generated through mining operations.

Frequently asked
What we haven't been told
The deadline for the fiscal 2017 Form 10-K (claim 16645) was last addressed on 2018-04-01, alongside the naming of an interim chief executive (claim 16644), with a filing date of 2018-04-15. The ledger moved the item to delayed on 2026-09-20 and then to not_yet_verifiable on 2026-10-09. Nothing on record states when the report was actually filed, whether a late-filing notice followed, or why the change in leadership coincided with the deadline.
In July 2018 the company described a NASDAQ remediation path with four parts: a compliance plan due 2018-08-24 (claim 15466), two new independent directors and restored listing-rule compliance by 2019-01-07 (claims 15465 and 15467), and a compensation committee fix by 2019-06-28 (claim 15468). On 2018-08-21 it announced that compliance had been regained, appointing Michael Berg as audit chair and Fred Thiel as compensation chair (claims 15435, 15437 and 15438). The four deadline claims still sit at not_yet_verifiable. The record never ties the August announcement to the specific obligations, never confirms that the compliance plan was submitted, and says nothing more about the 2019 compensation committee deadline.
The going-concern language of 2018-08-13 (claim 15462) warned that cash might not last twelve months, a window that closed on 2019-08-13. The claim passed through delayed and now reads not_yet_verifiable. No later disclosure on record says the doubt was lifted, what financing removed it, or whether the warning was simply dropped from subsequent filings.
The Global Bit Ventures merger was reported terminated on 2018-06-28 (claim 15477). In August 2018 it reappeared as a termination carrying a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). That claim has moved from stated to delayed to not_yet_verifiable and back to stated as of 2026-10-10. The disclosures on record never say whether the shares were issued, when, or at what value, and they never revisit the fee.
The intellectual-property business that defined the company from 2013 to 2015 stops abruptly in the record. This includes the Sampo IP acquisition, revenue generation from the patent portfolio, licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone, and the Opus Analytics SaaS offering last mentioned on 2015-03-25 (claims 21042, 21014, 21018, 21022 and 21010). Likewise, the 2013 exploration of a real estate disposition (claim 21044) never returns. All of these remain at stated with no later reference. No disclosure on record explains whether the portfolios were sold, abandoned or written down, what became of the licensing relationships, or when the company stopped treating patents as its business before the 2018 turn to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459).
What we aren't being told
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the terminated Global Bit Ventures merger carried a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim #15461), following the termination announced on 2018-06-28 (claim #15477). What has not been said is which party paid the fee, how the shares were valued and booked, and why a merger that was central to the crypto pivot was abandoned.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto received 5,000,000 stock options (claim #15389), and that 2.5 million unvested options carry change-of-control acceleration (claim #15386). This came against a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve of 10,000,000 shares (claim #15460). What has not been said is the strike price, vesting schedule, and board rationale for granting roughly half the plan reserve to one executive. It is also unclear whether the 2.5 million accelerating options belong to that same grant, and whether the Interim CEO named on 2018-04-01 (claim #16644) was Okamoto.
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13 (claim #15459). In the same filing it flagged uncertainty about having 12 months of cash runway (claim #15462). What has not been said is the miner count, hash rate, hosting site address, and power or hosting counterparty behind the expansion. The company also has not given the cash balance, monthly burn, or financing plan that would show whether the expansion could be funded at all.
The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims #21018, #21022), and that patent revenue generation had commenced (claim #21014). It also described IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (claim #21024). What has not been said is the dollar value of each license, whether those licenses are recurring or one-time settlements, and how much of the patent recoveries IP Navigation Group takes.
The company disclosed on 2018-07-12 a commitment to appoint two new independent directors by 2019-01-07 (claim #15465) and to meet a compensation committee compliance deadline of 2019-06-28 (claim #15468). It then announced on 2018-08-21 that it had regained NASDAQ compliance (claim #15438), with Michael Berg and Fred Thiel named to committee chair roles (claims #15435, #15437). What has not been said is whether both promised independent seats were actually filled, and whether Thiel's 50,000-option grant (claim #15396) affects his independence as compensation committee chair.
The record attributes to this company, on 2013-04-04, a 19-country African footprint, 26-country global operations, and a Mara Foundation, with Ashish and Jagdish Thakkar in leadership roles (claims #20897-#20903). What has not been said, by the company or in this record, is any corporate relationship between that Mara Group business and Marathon Patent Group. These claims may be misattributed and should be verified before readers rely on them.
Customer disclosures, read
Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the conventional sense, and readers should not treat its partnership history as evidence of commercial demand. The earliest items, the UN Women and EY tie-ups (claims 20896, 20895), concern the Mara Foundation, an apparently unrelated African entrepreneurship body. They look like entity-matching errors and should be excluded. The patent-era disclosures do describe signed instruments, namely licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone that were tied to portfolio acquisitions (claims 21018, 21022). Even so, they read as acquisition mechanics rather than revenue-generating licences. IP Nav is a supplier of deal flow, not a customer (claim 21024). After the pivot to mining, nearly every named counterparty sits on the cost side of the ledger. Block Maintain, Securitas Canada and Chord Advisors are vendors (claims 15198-15200, repeated in 15068-15070 and 14859-14860). Beowulf's exclusive Power Purchase Agreement and its land lease are executed contracts, with a five-year term plus extensions (claims 14791, 14801, 14802). The Liefern/2P1 Data Facility Services Agreement is also signed and was paid in 3,000,000 shares valued at $11.22 million (claims 14756, 14738, 14649). Compute North moved from a 'binding letter of intent' for 73,000 miners (claims 14590, 14331) to a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (claim 14333) and then an 82/18 joint venture (claim 14347). That is a genuine escalation from LOI language to definitive contracts. The DMG Blockseer licence (claims 14305, 14288, 14330) and the NYDIG securities loan (claims 14306, 14290) are signed, but they are inbound technology and financing arrangements. To its credit, Marathon names every counterparty, and the record contains no unidentified 'strategic partner' or 'anchor customer' language. Counterparty concentration has nonetheless shifted from one dependency to another: first IP Nav for deal flow, then Block Maintain at Granby, then Beowulf at Hardin, and finally Compute North, which by 2021 hosted the bulk of the planned fleet. The only revenue-side counterparty disclosed is ViaBTC, the mining pool that pays daily rewards (claim 14888), and Cumberland DRW handles liquidation (claim 14889). The revenue arithmetic therefore cannot be reconciled from this record, because none of the announced dollar figures are revenue. The $67 million Compute North figure is a hosting prepayment commitment, $14.6 million is a deposit, and $11.22 million is equity-settled services. Claims 14315 ('$500') and 14311 ('$67') are unit-truncation artefacts of the $500,000 and $67 million figures and should be corrected before publication. Revenue is a function of hashrate, network difficulty and the bitcoin price, settled through a single pool, and no customer contract underwrites it.
Delivery vs. promise
This record ends mid-2021, cut off at claim 14648, so it describes Marathon's pivot from patent licensing to bitcoin mining rather than its current portfolio. The earliest entries are patent and licensing claims (21015 through 21035). A few others, such as the 26-country footprint (20897), the 19-country African presence (20898) and the UN Women and EY partnerships (20896, 20895), do not resemble anything Marathon has disclosed and look misattributed. They should be quarantined before any trajectory is drawn from them. Within the mining era, announced capacity scaled steadily upward. The fleet target was stated at 240 PH/s across three filings (14906, 14887, 14871), then raised to 294 PH/s within weeks (14858) once the S-19 Pro orders landed. The 10,500-unit order (14842) pointed well beyond that. Hardin shows the same upward drift with a stable ceiling. The October 2020 framing was a 30 MW Phase I inside a 100 MW total (14790, 14789). By May 2021, Phase I had become 70 MW at $23 million and Phase II 30 MW at $9 million (14645, 14646). The total held, but the near-term commitment more than doubled with no stated reason. Hardin now carries a cancelled status, and nothing in this record explains the exit. Short-dated hardware promises held: the August 2020 deliveries (14873, 14872, 14854) and the 10,000-unit S-19 Pro order due by March 2021 (14762) are all marked verified. Longer-dated items are weaker. The Quebec lease through November 2022 is marked abandoned (15229), and the parallel Granby lease claim (15219) was never verified. The Q4 2020 delivery of 1,000 S-19 Pros (14855) has no follow-through on record. One revision went unacknowledged: the SelectGreen purchase was withdrawn in November 2019 (15062), then restated as completed in July and August 2020 (14883, 14851) with no explanation of what changed. Independent corroboration is absent throughout. No permits, interconnection queue entries or site reporting are attached to any claim, so the announced pace rests entirely on company filings. For the next 90 days, the priority is closing the gap between this 2021 record and the open projects. Long Ridge, Coshocton, Matagorda County, MAT 1177 and Plano carry no capacity, cost or date claims here. The Q3 2026 10-Q due in early November is the natural place to source stated megawatts and energization dates. Those dates should then be checked against PJM queue positions for the Ohio sites and ERCOT large-load filings for the Texas sites.
Capital & dilution trajectory
Marathon's record divides into two distinct regimes. Through 2020 the company financed itself in small, frequent increments: shelf and ATM capacity of roughly $7.5M (claims #15228, #14915, #14848), a $6.9M underwritten offering (claim #14850), and equity-settled payments to vendors and consultants (claims #14796, #14733). That is the profile of a company paying operating costs with its own stock. The step change arrives in 2021, when a $200M ATM (claim #14651) is followed within six months by a $100M Silvergate revolver (claim #14440) and $747.5M of 2026 convertibles (claim #14279). Dilution then shifts from a steady trickle to large, concentrated issuance, with $161M raised through the ATM by mid-2022 (claim #13818) and $489.3M in the first quarter of 2024 alone (claim #6207). The pattern is serial issuance at scale, not a single recapitalization.
The mix reads as more coherent from 2024 onward than before it. The $1B convertible (claim #5398) and the $850M convertible (claim #5307) were each paired with stated repurchases of the 2026 notes, about $212M (claim #5400) and about $51M (claim #5310). That suggests deliberate maturity management. The 2022–2023 period looks more reactive. Silvergate added a $100M term loan with a $350M net-worth covenant (claims #13836, #13839), and both facilities were terminated within a year with fees waived (claims #13180, #13181). A small preferred placement followed (claim #12532).
The record lets us test use of proceeds only partially. The $67M Compute North bridge loan and $14M of expedite fees (claims #14282, #14283) ended in an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim #12985), so that deployment did not produce its intended return. The Abu Dhabi contribution appears as both $81.2M (claim #12974) and $406M (claim #13085), which requires explanation. The 2024 notes were earmarked for bitcoin purchases (claims #5401, #5311), and the record contains no disclosure confirming that deployment. Claim #5348 also cites a $700M offering in the same window as the $850M deal, which should be reconciled.
The record contains no insider sales. It shows only RSU grants (claims #13964, #13965) and repeated plan expansions (claims #14758, #14555, #6539). A reader should watch for three things: how much of the 2026 notes remains outstanding as the December 2026 maturity approaches (claim #14387), whether ATM usage resumes after the 2024 convertibles, and the nearly two-year gap since the last disclosed capital event.
Frequently asked
What we aren't being told
The company disclosed an $183.8M acquisition of GC Data Center Equity Holdings on 2024-05-08 (claim 6206), together with a $9.0125M reverse termination fee (claim 6404) and $15M earn-out for capacity additions (claim 6402); what has not been said is the identity of the actual seller—the underlying entity or individual(s) behind 'GC Data Center Equity Holdings'—which is material to understanding counterparty risk and potential related-party implications.
The company disclosed a Granbury, TX facility expansion tied to an ERCOT approval earn-out on 2023-12-18 (claim 6403); what has not been said is the specific MW capacity being added to the facility, the current baseline capacity, the ERCOT interconnection queue position or timeline, or the exact capacity target that would trigger the earn-out payment.
The company disclosed a $1B convertible notes offering completed on 2024-11-20 (claim 5398) with a $25.9133 per share conversion rate (claim 5402) and 2030-03-01 maturity date (claim 5403); what has not been said is the annual coupon or interest rate, a fundamental term of any debt instrument that directly affects the company's annual debt service obligations and cost of capital.
The company disclosed plans to acquire additional bitcoin with convertible offering proceeds on 2024-11-20 (claim 5401), with net proceeds of approximately $980M (claim 5399); what has not been said is the target quantity of bitcoin to be acquired, the expected entry price or price range, and what the company's total bitcoin holdings would be post-acquisition—material guidance for a firm primarily valued on its digital asset position.
The company disclosed LTIP grants for six executives totaling approximately $48M on 2024-02-01, with Fred Thiel $22.4M (claim 6294), Salman Khan $13.3M (claim 6295), James Crawford $4.017M (claim 6296), Ashu Swami $5.209M (claim 6298), Adam Swick $3.9M (claim 6297), and John Lee $3.341M (claim 6299); what has not been said is the vesting schedule (annual versus cliff), any performance metrics or conditions attached to the grants, and the settlement form (stock versus cash), all standard proxy statement disclosure elements.
The company disclosed a $200M secured line of credit on 2024-10-14 (claim 5574); what has not been said is the lender's identity, the interest rate or margin above benchmark rates, the financial covenants, the borrowing base structure or collateral requirements, and the availability period—all material to understanding financial flexibility and balance sheet leverage constraints.
Customer disclosures, read
Marathon Digital's partnership disclosures center on a single named counterparty, Starwood, which dominates the claims record and represents the only material signed agreement. The February 26, 2026 Strategic Agreement with Starwood Capital Group and its data center platform Starwood Digital Ventures (claims 3660, 3661, 3662, 3663, 3665, 3666) constitutes a binding contract specifying MARA's contribution of identified bitcoin mining properties, a 10–50% ownership stake in resulting joint ventures, and Starwood's obligation to perform pre-development services including permitting and power procurement. This agreement is material and enforceable, distinct from letter-of-intent language.
By contrast, the March 1 announcement of a letter of intent with MPLX LP (claims 3513, 3524, 3503, 3497) explicitly signals non-binding intent to negotiate natural gas and power capacity access. MPLX remains unnamed in operational terms and no completed agreement has been disclosed to date. The Long Ridge facility tenant remains entirely unnamed across all disclosures (claims 935, 6849); MARA states only that it "expects" a tenant "around the time the deal closes" and references "advanced discussions with investment-grade tenants" (claim 2524). This language suggests commercial negotiation in progress rather than signed customer commitments. Additional partnerships cited vaguely as "leading AI and grid management companies" (claim 7670) carry no named counterparties and no disclosed terms.
Counterparty concentration is extreme. Starwood accounts for the substantive, named pipeline; subsequent restatements of the same February agreement (claims 2474, 2500, 2501, 2502 in September, and claims 6351, 6104 in early September) confirm no material partnerships beyond the initial Starwood deal have moved to signed status. MARA discloses no signed customer agreements or revenue-generating contracts with named counterparties other than Starwood. The unnamed Long Ridge tenant and abstract AI partnerships represent forward-looking aspirations, not closed business.
No revenue figures appear in any claim. MARA discloses ownership percentages and capacity targets (1+ GW near-term, 2.5 GW pathway with Starwood) but makes no revenue or profit attributable to signed deals. The absence of revenue arithmetic—EBITDA, ARR, or lease economics tied to signed customer contracts—creates opacity around deal substance and timing. The Starwood agreement is binding but pre-revenue; MPLX remains at LOI stage; the Long Ridge tenant and other partnerships remain prospective.
Delivery vs. promise
Marathon Digital's announced infrastructure footprint has expanded substantially through 2026, but the delivery trajectory shows material slippages and an increasing reliance on speculative, partnership-based capacity. Stated global data center capacity grew from 1.7 GW in April 2025 (claim 5021) to 1.9 GW by March 2026 (claim 3490), supported by acquisitions: Exaion in Europe, the Hansford County wind farm, and Long Ridge Energy's gas platform acquired for $1.5B in April 2026. Recent announcements layer on the Starwood Capital partnership claiming 2.5 GW of AI infrastructure capacity (claims 926, 7504) and a newly-disclosed Matagorda County site pegged at 2.0 GW (claim 1216, August 2026). Mining hash rate claims show upward revision from 53.2 EH/s in April 2025 (claim 5022) to 70.3 EH/s by Q2 2026 (claim 2950), a 32 percent increase, though this acceleration lacks independent verification through grid data or public mining pool reporting.
Delivery timing shows erosion. Long Ridge's promised 505 MW nameplate expansion carried a July 1, 2026 deadline (claim 1870) now marked delayed—two months overdue as of early September with no revised timeline disclosed. Starwood's announced 24-month development decision window (claim 3664, from February 2026) pushes material capacity delivery to February 2028, placing real output beyond near-term visibility. The earlier GC Data Center acquisition underwent two price revisions within five months (claims 6401, 6206), signaling integration friction.
Structural constraints limit near-term realization. The Starwood partnership operates at 50 percent ownership (claim 3528), reducing Marathon's operational control. The portfolio tilts toward partnership-based growth rather than owned-and-operated assets, with only 70 percent owned-and-operated capacity stated (claim 3491). Matagorda County's 2.0 GW claim carries no permitting stage, interconnection queue position, or funding status. Independent evidence—grid interconnection requests, environmental permits, or third-party capacity tracking—remains absent from available claims.
In the next 90 days, watch Long Ridge's actual 505 MW expansion commissioning date and whether Marathon revises timelines publicly. Track Matagorda County's ERCOT or CREZ interconnection queue status and environmental review timeline. Monitor Q3 hash rate reports to confirm whether the 70+ EH/s run-rate sustains, which would validate underlying energy deployment claims.

Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-19Marathon's record shows a company that moved through three distinct financing regimes, each roughly an order of magnitude larger than the last. Through 2019 and mid-2020 it was a micro-cap relying on small at-the-market capacity ($7.47M, per claims #15203 and #14915), a $2.3M all-stock placement (claim #15151), and repricing of a $999K convertible (claim #14913). The $100M S-3 in August 2020 (claim #14874) and the $200M ATM in May 2021 (claim #14651) marked the shift to institutional-scale equity, followed by the $747.5M aggregate 2026 convertible in November 2021 (claims #14387, #14388, #14279). The third regime arrived in 2024, with $489.3M raised through the ATM in a single quarter (claim #6207) and roughly $1.85B of new convertibles across November and December (claims #5398, #5342). Recurring equity-plan share increases (claims #14758, #14555, #6539) add a steady layer of dilution beneath these larger events. The mix reads as a deliberate equity-plus-convert structure, although the bank-debt layer was not durable. The Silvergate revolver and term loan (claims #14440, #13836) were partly drawn at $35M (claim #13817) and then terminated in March 2023 with notice and prepayment terms waived (claims #13180–13182). Deployment has diverged from announced purposes at least once. The $67M Compute North bridge loan and $14M in expedite fees (claims #14282, #14283) later surface as an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim #12985). That outcome is consistent with expansion capital that did not convert into the intended capacity. The 2024 converts state two uses, bitcoin purchases and retirement of the 2026 notes (claims #5401, #5311). The repurchase figures are revised across filings, from $199M to $212M for the November deal (claims #5425, #5400) and among $48M, $50M and $51M for December (claims #5345, #5349, #5310). An August 2024 convertible issuance appears only in later filings (claims #5254, #5231) and has no announcement claim of its own, which requires explanation. Several 2022–2024 claims also mix units, recording millions as raw dollars. No insider transactions are on record, and the dataset stops in December 2024. A careful reader should therefore look for any residual 2026 notes approaching their December 1, 2026 maturity (claim #14387), the holder repurchase dates on the 2024 notes (claim #5405), disclosure that reconciles bitcoin purchases with the stated use of proceeds, and whether the $200M credit line (claim #5574) proves more durable than its predecessor.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-19Marathon's disclosed financing history falls into three phases, and the scale changes sharply between them. Through 2019 and mid-2020 the company relied on small, repeated equity raises. These included ATM programs sized near $7.47M (claims #15203, #14915), an all-stock private placement (claim #15151), and a stockholder approval to issue more than 19.99% of shares (claim #15048). A convertible note amendment that lowered the conversion price (claim #14913) also falls in this period. Taken together, this looks more like keeping the company funded than executing a plan. The August 2020 $100M S-3 (claim #14874) and the $23.2M Antminer purchase (claim #14843) mark the start of a more coherent build-out. The $200M ATM (claim #14651), the $100M Silvergate revolver (claim #14440) and the $747.5M of 1.00% 2026 convertibles (claims #14279, #14386) then established a layered structure of equity, bank debt and converts.
The bank-debt layer did not last. Silvergate added a $100M term loan in August 2022 (claim #13836), and the facilities were terminated by March 2023 with prepayment and notice terms waived (claims #13180, #13181, #13182). The $67M bridge loan and $14M of expedite fees advanced to Compute North (claims #14282, #14283) later appear as an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim #12985). The stated amount of that claim requires reconciliation against the original exposure.
The 2024 phase is larger again. It includes a $489.3M first-quarter ATM (claim #6207), a $1B convertible with $980M of stated net proceeds (claims #5398, #5399), and an $850M convertible with $835M of net proceeds (claims #5307, #5308). The announced use of proceeds shifted from mining infrastructure to bitcoin acquisition (claims #5401, #5311) and to partial repurchases of the 2026 notes, about $212M and $51M (claims #5400, #5310). The record does not show actual bitcoin purchases or completed repurchases, so deployment against the stated plans cannot be confirmed here.
Several figures conflict in ways that require explanation. The December offering is recorded as both $700M and $850M (claims #5348, #5342). The Abu Dhabi contributions appear as $81.2M and $406M (claims #12974, #13085). No insider transactions are on record, and the data ends in December 2024.
The items to watch follow from this record. One is the residual 2026 note balance as that maturity arrives. Another is the dilution path implied by the roughly $26 conversion price on the new notes (claim #5402) and the holder repurchase rights (claim #5405). A third is whether ATM issuance continues alongside the convertibles.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-19Marathon's record shows three distinct financing regimes, and the dilution trajectory shifts with each. Through 2019 and 2020 the company was raising in single-digit millions through small ATM capacity (the $7.47M program, per claims #15203 and #14915), an all-stock private placement (claim #15151), share-settled equipment purchases (claim #15066), and a reduced conversion price on an existing note (claim #14913). The stockholder approval for issuance above 19.99% (claim #15048) shows how much the equity base was being stretched relative to its size. That period reads as opportunistic patching rather than a plan. The 2021 step-up to a $200M ATM (claim #14651) and the $747.5M of 1% convertibles (claims #14279, #14386) marked a move toward structured capital. The Silvergate revolver and term loan, however, carried liquidity and net-worth covenants ($25M and $350M, per claims #14444 and #13839) and needed a waiver just to accommodate the converts (claim #14399). Those facilities were terminated in March 2023 with fees waived (claims #13180, #13181), so the debt leg of that strategy did not last. Deployment against stated purpose requires explanation in two places. The Compute North bridge loan and expedite fees ($67M and $14M, per claims #14282 and #14283) are later reflected only as an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim #12985). The Abu Dhabi contribution appears as both $81.2M and $406M (claims #12974, #13085), and the record does not reconcile the two. By late 2024 the stated use of proceeds had shifted from mining capacity to bitcoin accumulation and refinancing the 2026 notes (claims #5401, #5400, #5310). The $489.3M Q1 2024 ATM (claim #6207) and roughly $1.85B of new converts (claims #5398, #5307) made this the heaviest issuance period on record, and actual bitcoin purchases are not documented here. Insider activity on record is limited to RSU grants (claims #13964, #13965), with no reported sales. The record ends in December 2024, so the reader should treat 2025 onward as undisclosed in this dataset. The nearest item to watch is the residual 2026 notes maturing December 1, 2026 (claim #14387): repurchases of roughly $212M and $48-51M (claims #5400, #5345) leave a balance that the record does not state. Beyond that, the conversion terms on the 2024 notes (claim #5402) set the next layer of potential dilution.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-17Marathon's record divides into three phases, and the shift between them matters more than any single transaction. Through 2020 the company financed itself in small increments: a roughly $7.5M ATM capacity that recurs across several filings (claims 15203, 14915, 14848), a $6.9M underwritten offering (claim 14850), and amendments that lowered the conversion price on a $999,106 note (claims 14913, 14892). That is incremental equity funding of a company that did not yet have scale. The 2021 phase is a step change. A $200M ATM (claim 14651) was followed by a $100M Silvergate revolver (claim 14440) and $747.5M of 2026 convertibles (claim 14279). The mix moved from dilution toward leverage once equity values could support it. The period after 2022 requires explanation. Silvergate's facilities, including the $100M term loan added in August 2022 (claim 13836), were terminated in March 2023 with notice and prepayment waivers (claims 13180–13182). Equity issuance then carries much of the load again: $489.3M through the ATM in Q1 2024 alone (claim 6207), followed by a new $200M line of credit (claim 5574) and a late-2024 run of convertibles. The record reads as coherent in direction, using equity when it is cheap and converts when volatility is priced in, but it is reactive in timing. The late-2024 convertible record is internally inconsistent. Principal appears as $850M (claims 5342, 9275), $1B (claim 5398) and $700M (claim 5348). The planned repurchase of 2026 notes appears variously as $199M, $212M, roughly $50M and $48M (claims 5425, 5400, 5349, 5345). These may be separate tranches, but the record does not reconcile them. The stated use of proceeds, buying additional bitcoin and retiring 2026 notes (claims 5401, 5311), has no matching deployment figures on record, so tracking cannot be confirmed. Earlier commitments show weaker follow-through. The $67M bridge loan to Compute North (claim 14282) is later accompanied by an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim 12985), and the Abu Dhabi contribution appears at inconsistent magnitudes (claims 13085, 12953, 12974). No insider sales are on record. A reader should watch for reconciled totals on the 2024 notes, the remaining 2026 maturity, and the conversion terms (claim 5402) relative to the share price. Further ATM usage would also show whether equity is again the default funding source.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-17Marathon's financing record falls into three phases. Through 2020 the company raised capital in small increments sized to its shelf: ATM capacity of roughly $7.5M (claims #15203, #14915), a $6.9M underwritten deal (claim #14850), and share-settled payments for equipment and facility services (claims #15066, #14733). The post-2019 share count of about 8.7M (claim #15152, recorded in dollar units but apparently a share figure) shows how small the base was. In 2021 the scale changed: a $200M ATM (claim #14651, completed per claim #14325), then $747.5M of 2026 convertibles including the $97.5M option (claims #14387, #14279). The 2024 phase moved to larger blocks again: $489.3M of ATM issuance in Q1 alone (claim #6207), followed by back-to-back convertible offerings of $1B gross (claim #5398) and $850M (claim #5342, verified). Dilution has therefore come both directly through the ATM and through conversion overhang that has compounded across note vintages.
The mix reads as a deliberate pairing of ATM equity for steady funding with convertibles for step-changes. The bank-debt layer is the exception. Silvergate facilities were expanded with a $100M term loan in August 2022 (claim #13836), drawn $35M (claim #13817), and terminated by March 2023 (claim #13180). That bank-lending channel was effectively no longer discussed until a $200M line of credit appeared in October 2024 (claim #5574), with no counterparty disclosed here.
On use of proceeds, the November 2024 notes were tied to repurchasing 2026 notes ($199M per claim #5425, revised to $212M per claim #5400) and acquiring bitcoin (claim #5401). The December notes repeat both uses at a smaller repurchase size ($48M to $51M across claims #5345, #5349 and #5310). The record contains no claim confirming the amounts actually repurchased or bitcoin actually bought, so whether deployment tracked the stated uses cannot be assessed from this data. Earlier commitments also have unclear outcomes: the $67M Compute North bridge loan (claim #14282) is followed only by an unsecured bankruptcy claim recorded at $40,000 (claim #12985), and the Abu Dhabi figures appear as both $406M and $81.2M (claims #13085, #12974). Both require explanation, as does the December offering recorded at $700M (claim #5348) against $850M (claim #5342).
The data contains no open-market insider sales, only RSU grants (claims #13964, #13965). Readers should watch for disclosed repurchase completions, the residual 2026 note balance, further ATM usage, and the terms of the $200M credit line.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-17Marathon's financing record moves through three distinct scales. Through 2020 the company raised capital in single-digit millions, with ATM capacity of roughly $7.47M (claim #15203) and a $6.9M underwritten offering (claim #14850). In 2021 it stepped up to a $200M ATM (claim #14651) and $747.5M of convertible notes due 2026 (claim #14279). By 2024 it was issuing at a still larger scale: $489.3M sold through the ATM in a single quarter (claim #6207), a roughly $1B convertible in November (claim #5398) and a further $850M in December (claim #5342). Dilution therefore accelerated rather than plateaued, and it shifted from direct share issuance toward convertible instruments whose equity effect is deferred. The recurring increases to the equity incentive plan (claims #14758, #14555 and #6539) add a quieter, steady layer on top.
The instrument mix reads as partly deliberate and partly reactive. The 2021–2022 debt layer was a $100M Silvergate revolver (claim #14440) plus a $100M term facility (claim #13836). Both were terminated in March 2023 with prepayment charges and notice periods waived (claims #13180 and #13181), and a $200M line of credit from an unnamed lender appears only in October 2024 (claim #5574). The small $14.25M Series A preferred placement in 2023 (claim #12532) fits no visible pattern. The repeated ATM-then-convertible sequencing is the most coherent thread.
Use of proceeds requires some explanation. The Compute North bridge loan of $67M (claim #14282) and expedite fees of $14M (claim #14283) were followed by a bankruptcy claim (claim #12985) whose recorded figure is not reconcilable as stated. Abu Dhabi joint venture contributions appear as $81.2M (claim #12974) and as $406M (claim #13085), which may reflect the company's share versus total project cost but is not clarified. The planned repurchase of 2026 notes was sized at about $199–212M for the November 2024 deal (claims #5425 and #5400) and only about $48–51M for the December deal (claims #5345 and #5310). The bitcoin acquisitions stated as a use of proceeds (claims #5401 and #5311) have no deployment figures on record.
No insider sales appear in the data; the only insider-linked items are RSU grants (claims #13964 and #13965). A careful reader should watch three things. First, the December 1, 2026 maturity of the 2026 notes (claim #14387), now weeks away, and how much principal remains, since claim #5230's figure is ambiguous in units. Second, the holder repurchase dates on the 2024 notes (claim #5405). Third, whether the $700M figure in claim #5348 is reconciled with the $850M recorded elsewhere.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-17Marathon's record shows three distinct financing regimes rather than one continuous strategy. Through 2020 the company relied on small ATM programs and share-settled transactions, such as the $7.47M ATM capacity per claim 15203, the 2,335,000-share private placement per claim 15151, and equity paid for facility services and milestone bonuses per claims 14796 through 14799. This is typical of a microcap paying with stock because cash was scarce. The 2021 pivot was abrupt: a $200M ATM per claim 14651, then $747.5M of 2026 convertibles per claim 14279, alongside a $100M Silvergate revolver per claim 14440. That combination of equity, low-coupon converts and bank debt looks deliberate for that period. The bank leg did not last. Silvergate added a term loan in August 2022 per claim 13836, and both facilities were terminated by March 2023 per claim 13180, with waivers of notice and prepayment charges per claims 13182 and 13181. After that, the record shows no replacement bank facility until the $200M line of credit per claim 14588 is not present; the next one is per claim 5574 in October 2024. Equity issuance in the interim was heavy, with $489.3M raised via ATM in Q1 2024 alone per claim 6207. In late 2024 the company issued two convertible tranches in close succession: $1B completed per claim 5398 and $850M per claim 5307. Both state dual uses, acquiring bitcoin and repurchasing the 2026 notes, per claims 5401, 5400, 5311 and 5310. The stated repurchase amounts vary across filings ($199M per claim 5425, $212M per claim 5400, roughly $50M per claims 5349 and 5310), and the record does not show how much was actually retired or how much bitcoin was bought. That reconciliation requires explanation. Similarly, the Abu Dhabi contribution appears as $81.2M per claim 12974 and $406M per claim 13085, and the $67M Compute North bridge loan per claim 14282 resurfaces only as an unsecured bankruptcy claim per claim 12985. Many figures in this record are logged in inconsistent units, which limits precision. No insider transactions are on record, so that dimension cannot be assessed. A careful reader should watch for actual 2026-note repurchase volumes, the conversion terms on the 2024 notes per claim 5402, and whether the ATM resumes alongside the convertibles.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-16Marathon's record shows two distinct financing regimes. Through 2020 the company relied on small, repeated equity raises, including a $7.47M shelf and ATM capacity (claims #15228, #15203), an all-stock private placement of 2.335M shares (claim #15151), and stockholder approval to issue beyond 19.99% (claim #15048). It also amended a convertible note to reduce its conversion price (claims #14913, #14892). This was incremental patching, typical of a sub-scale issuer funding equipment such as the $23.2M Antminer purchase (claim #14843) as each need arose. From 2021 the scale changes. The company used a $200M ATM (claim #14651), a $100M Silvergate revolver (claim #14440), and $747.5M of 2026 convertibles (claim #14279), which required a covenant waiver from the same lender (claim #14399). That sequence suggests the debt and convertible layers were not fully coordinated at inception. The Silvergate facilities, including a later $100M term loan (claim #13836), were terminated in March 2023 with prepayment charges waived (claims #13180, #13181), and lender capacity was later rebuilt through a $200M line (claim #5574). In 2024 the company returned to heavy equity issuance, with $489.3M of ATM sales in a single quarter (claim #6207), followed by roughly $1B (claim #5398) and $850M (claim #5307) of new convertibles. The coherent thread is refinancing the 2026 notes while funding bitcoin accumulation. The record contains no insider sales, only RSU grants (claims #13964, #13965) and repeated incentive-plan increases (claims #14758, #14555, #6539). On deployment, the stated repurchase amounts were revised between filings: $199M became $212M for the November deal (claims #5425, #5400), and roughly $48–51M was cited for December (claims #5345, #5310). A $700M figure for the December offering (claim #5348) does not match the $850M reported elsewhere (claim #5342) and requires explanation. The Abu Dhabi contribution appears as both $81.2M and $406M (claims #12974, #13085), and the Compute North bridge loan of $67M (claim #14282) later surfaces only as an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim #12985). The disclosures do not show how the stated bitcoin purchases were actually executed (claims #5401, #5311). The next items to watch are the treatment of any residual 2026 notes against the December 1, 2026 maturity (claim #14387), and the conversion terms on the 2024 notes (claim #5402), which set the next leg of potential dilution.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-16Marathon's record divides into three phases, each with a different dominant instrument. Through 2020 the company relied on small equity pieces: an ATM sized at roughly $7.5M (claims #15203, #14848), a $6.9M underwritten offering (claim #14850), and shares issued directly for equipment and facility services (claims #14796, #14733). That pattern looks like survival financing rather than a planned capital structure. The $100M S-3 (claim #14874) and the $200M ATM (claim #14651) mark a step change in scale. Late 2021 adds leverage: the $100M Silvergate revolver (claim #14440) and $747.5M of 2026 convertibles (claims #14279, #14387, #14388). The convertibles needed a covenant waiver from the same lender (claims #14399, #14309), which suggests the instruments were layered as they came rather than sequenced in advance. The Silvergate facilities were then terminated in March 2023 with notice and prepayment terms waived (claims #13180, #13181). After that, bank debt is no longer part of the record until a $200M line of credit appears in October 2024 (claim #5574).
Dilution comes mainly through the ATM. The record shows $161M issued by mid-2022 (claim #13818) and $489.3M in Q1 2024 alone (claim #6207), so the pace of equity issuance accelerated sharply. The late-2024 convertibles, at least $1B (claim #5398) and $850M (claim #5342), shift the mix back toward deferred dilution, with conversion priced near $26 per claim #5402.
On use of proceeds, both 2024 offerings named two uses: buying bitcoin (claims #5401, #5311) and repurchasing the 2026 notes. The repurchase figures move within each offering. The November figure is $199M in claim #5425 and $212M in claim #5400, and the December figure appears as $48M, $50M and $51M (claims #5345, #5349, #5310). Claim #5348 also lists a $700M December offering, which conflicts with the $850M recorded elsewhere and needs explaining. Earlier stated deployments are harder to trace. The $67M Compute North bridge loan (claim #14282) is followed by a bankruptcy unsecured claim (claim #12985), and the Abu Dhabi contributions appear as both $81.2M and $406M (claims #12974, #13085).
The record contains no insider transactions, so nothing can be said about insider selling. A sophisticated reader should watch three things: how much of the 2026 notes remains after the repurchases, how ATM issuance develops beyond the Q1 2024 disclosure, and whether bitcoin purchases funded by the convertibles are reported in amounts that reconcile with the net proceeds disclosed in claims #5399 and #5308.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-16Marathon's financing record falls into three phases, each with a different logic. Through 2020 the company was a micro-cap held together by small fixes. It ran shelf and ATM capacity sized at about $7.47M (claims #15228, #15203). It placed 2,335,000 shares privately against roughly 8.72M shares outstanding afterward (claims #15151, #15152), which is dilution of about a quarter of the float in one step. It needed stockholder approval to exceed the 19.99% threshold (claim #15048). It lowered the conversion price on the Bi-Coastal note twice (claims #14913, #14892). Paying for mining equipment and facility services in shares (claims #15066, #14796, #14733) points to scarce cash rather than a capital plan.
From 2020 to 2021 the scale changed. The company filed a $100M S-3 (claim #14874) and a $200M ATM (claim #14651), then turned to leverage: a $100M Silvergate revolver (claim #14440) and $747.5M of 2026 convertibles including the option (claim #14279). That reads as a deliberate move toward non-dilutive capital at a time of high equity valuations. In 2022 the ATM was still running ($161M, claim #13818) while the revolver was drawn ($35M, claim #13817), so the shift was incomplete.
The record of how proceeds were used is weakest in the middle period. The $67M bridge loan and $14M in expedite fees paid to Compute North (claims #14282, #14283) are followed in the record by an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim #12985), and that sequence needs explaining. The Abu Dhabi contribution appears as both $81.2M and $406M (claims #12974, #13085). The Silvergate facilities ended early (claim #13180), and the record does not show a replacement until the $200M line in 2024 (claim #5574).
The 2024 issuance is the largest, and its stated purpose differs from earlier rounds. A $489.3M ATM in a single quarter (claim #6207) was followed by two convertible deals: about $1B with net proceeds of roughly $980M (claims #5398, #5399), and $850M with roughly $835M net (claims #5342, #5344). Both name bitcoin purchases as the main use (claims #5401, #5311), with comparatively small repurchases of the 2026 notes, about $212M and $48–51M (claims #5400, #5345, #5310). The capital is now funding a balance-sheet asset rather than mining capacity. One claim gives the December deal as $700M (claim #5348), which does not match the others.
The record contains no insider sales, only RSU grants (claims #13964, #13965). A careful reader should look for three things: how the remaining 2026 convertibles, due December 2026, are settled; whether ATM use continues alongside the convertibles; and whether disclosed bitcoin holdings account for the stated proceeds. No financing claims are on record after December 2024.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-15Marathon's record describes a company whose financing scale grew far faster than its share count history alone would suggest. The early period is small and equity-heavy: a shelf and ATM program sized at roughly $7.5M (claims 15228, 15203), an all-stock private placement (claim 15151), and repeated share issuance for equipment and facility services (claims 15066, 14796, 14733). Funding moved to a $100M S-3 (claim 14874) and a $200M ATM (claim 14651), then shifted toward debt-like instruments with the $747.5M of 2026 convertibles (claim 14279), alongside Silvergate revolving and term facilities (claims 14440, 13836). The 2024 activity is larger again: an ATM raising $489.3M in a single quarter (claim 6207), a $200M credit line (claim 5574), and two convertible offerings described as $1 billion (claim 5398) and $850M (claim 9275). Dilution has therefore moved from direct issuance toward deferred, conversion-contingent dilution, with Equity Incentive Plan reserves expanded several times (claims 14758, 14555, 6539).
The mix reads less as a fixed plan than as a series of responses to available windows. The Silvergate relationship required a covenant waiver to permit the 2021 convertibles (claim 14309) and ended in termination in March 2023 (claim 13180). The $67M bridge loan to Compute North (claim 14282) later appears only as an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim 12985), and the recovery is no longer discussed in the record.
On use of proceeds, the 2024 convertibles were tied to bitcoin purchases and to repurchasing 2026 notes. The stated repurchase amounts were revised from about $199M to $212M (claims 5425, 5400) for the November deal and stated at about $48M to $51M for December (claims 5345, 5310). The record contains no disclosed repurchase totals, so deployment cannot be reconciled. Several figures also require explanation: the December offering appears at both $700M (claim 5348) and $850M (claim 5307), and the Abu Dhabi contribution appears as $81.2M (claim 12974) and $406M (claim 13085). No insider sales are on record, so that dimension cannot be assessed.
A careful reader should watch for how the remaining 2026 notes due December 1, 2026 (claim 14387) are settled, for the holder repurchase dates on the 2024 notes (claim 5405), for any further ATM capacity, and for disclosure of how much of the 2024 proceeds actually retired older debt versus funded bitcoin purchases.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-15Marathon's record shows a company whose financing grew far faster than its own early instruments would suggest, with an equity-led phase giving way to convertible debt as the main funding tool. Through 2019 and early 2020 the company relied on small at-the-market programs sized around $7.5M (claims #15203, #14915), alongside share issuances tied to equipment and stockholder approval to exceed the 19.99% threshold (claim #15048). The step to a $100M S-3 (claim #14874) and then a $200M ATM (claim #14651) marks the point where dilution moved from incremental to structural. The ATM habit continued well after that, with $161M issued per claim #13818 and $489.3M in a single quarter of 2024 per claim #6207, so equity dilution never paused while the convertibles were being added on top. The mix reads as coherent in direction but improvised in execution. The $747.5M of 2026 convertibles (claim #14279) set the template, and the late-2024 notes repeated it at larger scale: $1B completed with $980M net (claims #5398, #5399), followed within weeks by $850M with $835M net (claims #5307, #5308). Bank debt was the less durable part of the mix. The Silvergate revolver and term loan (claims #14440, #13836) were terminated with waived fees in March 2023 (claims #13180, #13181), and a separate $200M line appeared later (claim #5574). Use of proceeds requires closer reading. The $67M bridge loan and $14M of expedite fees to Compute North (claims #14282, #14283) were followed by an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim #12985), and that capital is no longer discussed as productive deployment. The Abu Dhabi contribution appears as both $81.2M and $406M (claims #12974, #13085), a gap that requires explanation. The late-2024 offerings named bitcoin purchases and repurchases of the 2026 notes ($212M and $51M per claims #5400, #5310), but the record does not confirm the repurchases were completed, and one claim gives the December raise as $700M rather than $850M (claim #5348). The record contains no insider sales, only RSU grants (claims #13964, #13965), and it shows no events after December 2024. A careful reader should watch for how the remaining 2026 notes due December 1, 2026 (claim #14387) are settled, whether by cash, refinancing or conversion, and whether ATM issuance resumes to fund that settlement.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-15Marathon's record describes a company whose capital-raising scaled by roughly two orders of magnitude while the instruments became more sophisticated. The 2019–2020 period consists of small, repeated H.C. Wainwright at-the-market programs sized near $7.5M (claims #15203, #14915, #14848), a small underwritten offering (claim #14850), and an amendment reducing a convertible note's conversion price (claim #14913). That mix reads as patching rather than plan. The pivot comes with the $100M S-3 (claim #14874) and the $200M ATM (claim #14651), followed by $747.5M of 2026 convertibles (claim #14279). Dilution then shifted from frequent small equity draws to large episodic events: $161M of ATM issuance by mid-2022 (claim #13818), $489.3M in Q1 2024 alone (claim #6207), and successive convertible raises in late 2024 of $1B (claim #5398) and $850M (claim #5307).
The later mix looks more coherent. Equity funds operations, convertibles fund balance-sheet positioning, and secured credit is used sparingly. The Silvergate revolver and term loan (claims #14440, #13836) carried liquidity and net-worth covenants (claims #14444, #13839) and were terminated with waived prepayment and notice terms (claims #13180, #13181). A $200M line of credit later replaced that capacity (claim #5574).
The record does not let a reader trace how announced proceeds were actually deployed. The 2024 convertibles were earmarked for repurchasing 2026 notes and acquiring bitcoin (claims #5400, #5401, #5310, #5311), but no claim confirms the repurchase amounts executed or the bitcoin bought. Earlier, the $67M bridge loan and $14M expedite fees to Compute North (claims #14282, #14283) were followed by that counterparty's bankruptcy and an unsecured claim (claim #12985). The recovery is not discussed further. The Abu Dhabi joint venture contribution appears as $81.2M (claim #12974) and as $406M (claim #13085); that difference requires explanation. The record contains RSU grants (claims #13964, #13965) but no insider sales, so it says nothing about insider selling.
Several amounts are recorded in inconsistent units, and the record ends in December 2024, so this read cannot assess anything since. A reader should next watch four things. The first is how much of the 2026 notes remain outstanding. The second is the share price relative to the roughly $26 conversion price (claim #5402) and the holder repurchase date (claim #5405). The third is whether ATM issuance continues at the 2024 pace. The fourth is the cumulative effect of repeated equity-plan reserve increases (claims #14758, #14555, #6539).
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-14Marathon's record divides into two financing regimes, and the transition between them is the most informative feature of the history. Through 2019 and most of 2020 the company raised capital in small, repeated increments. ATM capacity was sized at roughly $7.47M (claims #15203, #14915), alongside a $2.3M all-stock placement (#15151) and a convertible note whose conversion price was cut by amendment (#14913). That is the cadence of a company patching runway, and the stockholder approval to issue above 19.99% (#15048) fits that reading. The $100M S-3 (#14874) and the $200M ATM (#14651) mark the shift to programmatic equity issuance. Dilution then moved into convertible debt: the $650M 2026 notes plus the $97.5M option (#14387, #14388), followed by renewed ATM use of $161M (#13818) and $489.3M in Q1 2024 alone (#6207).
The debt side reads as less settled than the equity side. The Silvergate revolver (#14440) needed a waiver to permit the 2021 convertible (#14399), was expanded with a $100M term loan in August 2022 (#13836), and was terminated in March 2023 with notice and prepayment terms waived (#13180, #13181). The $200M line of credit in October 2024 (#5574) is the only subsequent bank facility on record. On balance the mix looks coherent in direction, with equity and converts as the core tools, but bank debt has been revised repeatedly.
Deployment has not always matched the stated plan. The $67M Compute North bridge loan (#14282) later appears as an unsecured bankruptcy claim (#12985). Abu Dhabi figures appear both as $406M (#13085) and $81.2M (#12974); this likely reflects project total versus Marathon's share, but that requires explanation. The late-2024 convertibles state two uses, bitcoin purchases (#5401, #5311) and repurchase of 2026 notes. The repurchase figures range from about $199M–$212M (#5425, #5400) down to roughly $48M–$51M (#5345, #5310, #5349), so the amount actually retired is not resolved by this record. Recorded issuance totals also conflict, at $850M (#5422), $1B (#5398) and $700M (#5348).
No insider sales are on record; insider activity is limited to equity-plan increases and RSU grants (#14758, #14555, #13964). The data ends in December 2024. Sophisticated readers should check the remaining principal of the 2026 notes against their December 1, 2026 maturity (#14387), track whether ATM issuance continued after Q1 2024, and look for reconciliation of the 2024 convertible totals and of the $9.01M reverse termination fee (#6404), which is not otherwise discussed.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-13Marathon's record divides into two distinct financing regimes, and reading them as one continuous strategy would overstate its coherence. Through 2020 the company relied on small, frequent equity raises: shelf and ATM capacity of roughly $7.5M (claims 15228, 14915), a $6.9M underwritten offering (claim 14850), conversion-price amendments to a roughly $1M convertible note (claims 14913, 14892), and stock issued directly to vendors and facility operators (claims 14796, 14733). That pattern reads as patching against near-term needs rather than a capital plan. In 2021 the scale changed abruptly. A $200M ATM (claim 14651), a $100M Silvergate revolver (claim 14440), and $747.5M of 2026 convertibles (claim 14279) arrived within roughly seven months, and the mix shifted from equity toward convertible debt layered with bank credit. The bank leg did not last. The Silvergate facilities, expanded with a $100M term loan in August 2022 (claim 13836), were terminated in March 2023 with notice and prepayment terms waived (claims 13180, 13181), which suggests the exit was negotiated. Equity then resumed as the primary lever, with $489.3M raised through the ATM in Q1 2024 alone (claim 6207), before the company returned to converts in late 2024. On use of proceeds, the late-2024 convertible disclosures name bitcoin purchases and repurchase of the 2026 notes (claims 5401, 5400). The repurchase figure is inconsistent across filings, ranging from about $48M to $212M (claims 5345, 5349, 5400), and the issuance size appears as $700M, $850M, and $1B (claims 5348, 5342, 5398). These figures likely reflect separate tranches, but the record requires reconciliation. The $67M Compute North bridge loan (claim 14282) later surfaces only as an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim 12985), and the Abu Dhabi contribution is stated as both $406M and $81.2M (claims 13085, 12974). The data shows no insider sales, only RSU grants and plan-share increases (claims 13964, 14555). A careful reader should watch for how the remaining 2026 notes are settled, the cumulative ATM share count against the 2024 conversion price (claim 5402), and whether actual bitcoin purchases are disclosed in amounts that track the stated proceeds.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-13Marathon's financing record shows a company that moved through three distinct capital regimes rather than following one plan. Through 2019 and mid-2020 it raised small amounts: a $7.47M shelf and ATM capacity, per claims #15228 and #15203; a 2,335,000-share private placement, per claim #15151; and a $6.9M underwritten offering, per claim #14850. During this period it also amended a convertible note to lower its conversion price, per claims #14913 and #14892. That pattern reads as patching to stay funded. The August 2020 $100M S-3, per claim #14874, and the $200M ATM, per claim #14651, mark the move to scaled equity. The $747.5M of 2026 convertibles, per claim #14279, then added leverage on top. Issuing those notes required a covenant waiver from Silvergate, per claims #14399 and #14309, which suggests the bank facility and the convertible were not designed together. The Silvergate revolver and term loan were later terminated with fees waived, per claims #13180 and #13181, so the record does not show a stable bank-debt strategy. In 2024 the mix shifts to heavy ATM usage, $489.3M in Q1 alone per claim #6207, and two convertible issues, $1B per claim #5398 and $850M per claim #5342. The stated purposes of these converts were refinancing and bitcoin accumulation, which is a more coherent pattern. Deployment has not always tracked intent. The $67M Compute North bridge loan and $14M in expedite fees, per claims #14282 and #14283, resolved into an unsecured bankruptcy claim, per claim #12985. Abu Dhabi figures appear as $406M and as $81.2M, per claims #13085 and #12974, and that difference requires explanation. Planned 2026-note repurchases also vary across filings, from $199M per claim #5425 to $212M per claim #5400, and later $48–51M per claims #5345 and #5310. The record contains equity grants, per claims #13964 and #13965, but no insider sales, so it says nothing about insider selling behavior. A sophisticated reader should watch how much of the 2026 notes remains outstanding, since the maturity is December 1, 2026, per claim #14387. They should also check whether the net proceeds stated in claims #5399 and #5344 can be reconciled to actual bitcoin purchases and repurchases. Finally, the record has no claims after December 2024, so current ATM usage and any newer issuance are not visible here.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-13Marathon's record shows three funding phases. Each phase came from a different source, and each was larger than the one before. Through 2020 the company relied on small ATM capacity and share-settled payments for equipment and facility services. The ATM program sized at roughly $7.5 million (claims #15203, #14848) and the 3,000,000-share issuance for facility services (claim #14733) are typical of a microcap paying vendors in stock. The step-up came in 2021. A $200 million ATM (claim #14651) was followed by the $650 million 2026 convertible (claim #14387) and its $97.5 million option (claim #14388), for $747.5 million in total (claim #14279). That moved the main source of dilution from immediate equity to deferred conversion. Equity issuance did not stop. The record shows $161 million of ATM stock by August 2022 (claim #13818) and $489.3 million in Q1 2024 alone (claim #6207). Those figures suggest the convertible added to the ATM rather than replacing it.
The debt layer reads more as a reaction to events than a plan. The Silvergate revolver of $100 million (claim #14440) was later paired with a $100 million term loan (claim #13836) and drawn by $35 million (claim #13817). It was then terminated in March 2023 with notice and prepayment charges waived (claims #13180, #13181). A $200 million line of credit appears in October 2024 (claim #5574) with no stated terms. The $67 million bridge loan to Compute North (claim #14282) is later followed only by a bankruptcy unsecured claim (claim #12985). The record does not reconcile how much was recovered.
Use of proceeds requires explanation. The late-2024 convertible is described at $850 million (claim #5342), $700 million (claim #5348) and $1 billion (claim #5398). The planned repurchase of 2026 notes is stated as $199 million (claim #5425), $212 million (claim #5400) and about $50 million (claims #5349, #5310). Bitcoin acquisition is the other stated use (claims #5401, #5311). No claim confirms how either use was ultimately carried out. Likewise, the Abu Dhabi contribution appears as both $406 million (claim #13085) and $81.2 million (claim #12974). That may be a total-versus-share distinction, but the record does not say so.
The record contains no insider sales, only RSU grants (claims #13964, #13965). It ends in December 2024. A careful reader should watch for the 2026 notes reaching maturity on December 1, 2026 (claim #14387) and for how much principal remains outstanding after the repurchases. They should also watch whether ATM issuance resumes to settle that balance, and whether later filings reconcile the conflicting figures for the 2024 offering.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-13Marathon's record shows three distinct financing regimes. Through 2020 the company relied on small, repeated at-the-market programs sized around $7.47M (claims 15203, 14915), supplemented by all-stock private placements (claim 15151) and share-settled equipment and facility arrangements (claims 14796, 14733). That cadence is consistent with a company funding itself in increments sized to its market value at the time. The shift came in 2021, with the $100M S-3 (claim 14874) giving way to a $200M ATM (claim 14651) and then the $650M 2026 convertible plus its $97.5M option (claims 14387, 14388), together $747.5M per claim 14279. Equity dilution then accelerated: $161M of ATM issuance is recorded in 2022 (claim 13818) and $489.3M in Q1 2024 alone (claim 6207). The third regime, late 2024, layered new convertibles on top of the existing ones, including the $1B offering (claim 5398) and the $850M offering (claim 5422).
The mix looks deliberate in its broad direction, with equity funding growth and convertibles adding scale at low coupons, but the bank-debt leg was not durable. The Silvergate revolver and term loan (claims 14440, 13836), drawn by $35M per claim 13817, were terminated in March 2023 with notice and prepayment waivers (claims 13180, 13181). A $200M credit line later appears without a named counterparty (claim 5574).
Use of proceeds tracks only partially. The Compute North bridge loan and expedite fees ($67M and $14M, claims 14282, 14283) are later followed by an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim 12985), and the record does not show how much was recovered. The Abu Dhabi commitment is stated as $406M at the project level (claim 13085) against an $81.2M company contribution (claim 12974), a distinction readers should keep in view. The 2024 offerings consistently cite bitcoin purchases and repurchases of 2026 notes (claims 5401, 5311), but the stated repurchase amounts range from roughly $48M to $212M across offerings (claims 5345, 5400). That range requires explanation in subsequent filings.
The data has gaps. No insider sales are recorded, several figures carry inconsistent units, and the record contains no completed bitcoin acquisition amounts. The 2026 notes mature December 1, 2026 (claim 14387), so how the remaining balance is settled, whether in cash, shares, or refinancing, is the nearest item to watch. After that, readers should watch the holder repurchase dates on the 2024 notes (claim 5405) and whether ATM issuance resumes after Q1 2024.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-12Marathon's financing record moves through three distinct regimes. Through 2020, capital came in small, repeated increments: shelf and ATM capacity of roughly $7.47M (claims #15228, #14915), a 2020 conversion-price reduction on an existing note (claim #14913), and equity paid directly to vendors for equipment and facility services (claims #14796, #14733). That reads as survival financing rather than design. The 2021 step-up to a $200M ATM (claim #14651), a $100M Silvergate revolver (claim #14440) and the $747.5M 2026 convertible (claims #14387, #14388) marks a deliberate shift toward scale, with debt and convertibles layered over continuing equity issuance. The 2024 regime is larger again: $489.3M raised through the ATM in a single quarter (claim #6207), a $200M credit line (claim #5574), and two convertible deals described as $1B and $850M (claims #5398, #5342). Dilution therefore did not plateau. It shifted from frequent common issuance to a heavier reliance on convertibles whose dilution is deferred.
The bank-debt leg did not hold. The Silvergate revolver was expanded with a $100M term loan in August 2022 (claim #13836), with $35M drawn (claim #13817), and was terminated in March 2023 with notice and prepayment terms waived (claims #13180, #13181). Silvergate was not replaced by comparable bank financing until the 2024 credit line. The $67M bridge loan to Compute North (claim #14282) later appears as a bankruptcy unsecured claim (claim #12985), and the reported amounts do not reconcile on their face.
On use of proceeds, the 2024 convertibles were tied to bitcoin purchases and to repurchasing the 2026 notes (claims #5401, #5311). The stated repurchase figures vary across filings, from $199M and $212M (claims #5425, #5400) to roughly $48–51M (claims #5345, #5310, #5349). That variation requires explanation, and the record does not show actual deployment. The Abu Dhabi commitment is also stated two ways, as $406M (claim #13085) and as an $81.2M contribution (claim #12974). The $9.0M reverse termination fee (claim #6404) has no surrounding context.
The insider data contains only RSU grants (claims #13964, #13965) and no recorded sales, so no inference about insider selling is possible.
The immediate item to watch is the residual 2026 notes maturing December 1, 2026 (claim #14387) and how much remains after the 2024 repurchases. After that come the holder repurchase and redemption dates on the 2024 notes (claims #5404, #5405) and the conversion price of about $26 (claim #5402) relative to the share price.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-12Marathon's record divides into two financing regimes. Through 2020 the company funded itself in small, repeated increments: at-the-market capacity of roughly $7.5 million appears in several filings (claims #15203, #14915), alongside an all-stock private placement (claim #15151), a convertible note amendment that lowered the conversion price (claim #14913), and equity paid to vendors for hosting and construction milestones (claims #14796 through #14799). That is patching rather than strategy, and the repricing amendment shows a lender being accommodated on the company's side. The pivot comes with the $100 million S-3 (claim #14874) and the $200 million ATM (claim #14651), after which the instruments scale by an order of magnitude. The $747.5 million of 2026 convertibles (claim #14279), the Silvergate revolver (claim #14440) and the later term loan (claim #13836) show a deliberate move toward low-coupon debt and secured credit layered over continued ATM issuance, $161 million of which is recorded by mid-2022 (claim #13818). The termination of all Silvergate facilities in March 2023 (claim #13180) ends the bank-credit leg. The $489.3 million ATM tally for Q1 2024 alone (claim #6207) shows equity issuance accelerating rather than moderating. The November and December 2024 convertibles, $1 billion (claim #5398) and $850 million (claim #5342), form a coherent refinancing-plus-accumulation program. Stated uses pair repurchases of the 2026 notes with bitcoin purchases (claims #5401, #5311). Deployment is harder to confirm. The repurchase figures are revised across filings, $199 million versus $212 million for the first deal (claims #5425, #5400) and $48 million to $51 million for the second (claims #5345, #5310), and a separate $700 million figure (claim #5348) does not reconcile with either offering. Elsewhere, the $67 million Compute North bridge loan (claim #14282) later surfaces as an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim #12985), and the Abu Dhabi contribution appears as both $81.2 million and $406 million (claims #12974, #13085). Both require explanation. Insider activity on record is limited to RSU grants (claims #13964, #13965), with no disclosed sales. A careful reader should watch for the residual 2026 note balance after repurchases, which the record does not state, conversion overhang near the roughly $26 price on the 2024 notes (claim #5402), and whether ATM issuance continues alongside the convertibles. The record also ends in December 2024, so anything since then is unobserved here.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-11Marathon's record shows a company that moved from small, frequent equity patches to large convertible financings, with convertibles becoming the main funding tool by the end of the period. Between 2019 and mid-2020 the company relied on at-the-market programs sized near $7.5M (claims #15203, #14915, #14848), equity issued for mining equipment (claim #15066), and a reduced conversion price on an existing note (claims #14913, #14892). That period reads as opportunistic patching. Scale changed in 2021 with a $200M ATM (claim #14651), a $100M Silvergate revolver (claim #14440), and $747.5M of 1% notes due 2026 (claims #14279, #14386). Equity issuance then continued alongside the debt rather than replacing it, with $161M of ATM issuance by August 2022 (claim #13818) and $489.3M in Q1 2024 alone (claim #6207). Dilution therefore did not slow as the capital base grew; it compounded. Deployment has not always matched the stated purpose. The $67M bridge loan and $14M of expedite fees to Compute North (claims #14282, #14283) were later followed by an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim #12985). The Silvergate term and revolving facilities, which carried a $350M net-worth covenant (claim #13839), were terminated with notice and prepayment waivers (claims #13180, #13181, #13182). After that, they are no longer discussed as a funding source. The Abu Dhabi contribution appears as both $81.2M and $406M (claims #12974, #13085), which requires explanation. The December 2024 offering is likewise recorded as $700M in one claim and $850M in others (claims #5348, #5307). In late 2024 the company issued $1B and $850M of new convertibles (claims #5398, #5307). The stated uses were buying bitcoin and repurchasing about $212M and $51M of the 2026 notes (claims #5400, #5310). The record does not show whether those repurchases were completed. Insider activity on record is limited to RSU grants (claims #13964, #13965), and no insider sales are disclosed. A careful reader should watch three things. First, how the remaining 2026 notes are settled, given that the record shows only partial repurchase plans against the original $747.5M. Second, whether holders exercise the put rights on the 2024 notes (claim #5405). Third, whether ATM issuance continues to fund the gap between refinancing and bitcoin accumulation. The record ends in December 2024, so later events cannot be assessed from it.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-11Marathon's financing record moves through three distinct regimes. Through 2020 it relied on small, frequent equity raises: an at-the-market capacity of roughly $7.5M (claim 15203), a $6.9M underwritten offering (claim 14850), and share-settled equipment and facility deals (claims 14796, 14733). In 2021 the scale changed, with a $200M ATM program (claim 14651) followed by $747.5M of 2026 convertible notes (claim 14279). By 2024 the company was raising on a much larger base, with $489.3M sold through the ATM in a single quarter (claim 6207) and several convertible offerings in quick succession, including the completed $1B issue (claim 5398) and the $850M issue (claim 5307). Dilution therefore did not ease over time. It moved from frequent small issuance toward large deferred issuance through conversion features, and three equity plan share increases (claims 14758, 14555, 6539) add a steady compensation layer on top.
The mix looks more opportunistic than planned. The Silvergate revolver and term loan (claims 14440, 13836) came with liquidity and net-worth covenants of $25M and $350M (claims 13840, 13839), needed a waiver within weeks of the 2026 notes (claim 14399), and were terminated in March 2023 (claim 13180). The $67M bridge loan and $14M of expedite fees to Compute North (claims 14282, 14283) ended in an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim 12985). Neither of these use-of-proceeds paths appears to have performed as originally presented.
For the 2024 convertibles, the stated uses were bitcoin purchases and repurchases of the 2026 notes. The planned repurchase amounts vary across the record: $199M (claim 5425), $212M (claim 5400), and roughly $48M to $51M (claims 5345, 5349, 5310). No claim confirms the amounts actually retired. The Abu Dhabi contribution is recorded as both $81.2M (claim 12974) and $406M (claim 13085), and a $700M December offering (claim 5348) sits beside the $850M figure. These discrepancies require explanation. No discretionary insider sales appear in the record, only RSU grants (claims 13964, 13965).
Going forward, the key date is the December 1, 2026 maturity of the remaining 2026 notes (claim 14387), which is now close. Readers should watch whether that balance is settled in cash, shares, or new paper. They should also track the holder repurchase dates on the 2024 notes (claim 5405), whether the $200M credit line (claim 5574) is drawn, and whether ATM activity resumes at the scale seen in early 2024.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-11Marathon's financing record falls into three distinct phases, and the shift between them is more telling than any single raise. Through 2019 and 2020 the company funded itself in small, overlapping increments: repeated ATM capacity of roughly $7.5M (claims 15203, 14915, 14848), a $6.9M underwritten offering (claim 14850), shares issued directly for mining equipment (claim 15066), and an amendment reducing a convertible note's conversion price (claim 14913). That pattern reads as opportunistic patching rather than a capital plan. The $200M ATM (claim 14651) and the $747.5M of 2026 convertibles (claim 14279) mark a move to scale, and the 2024 sequence, a $489.3M first-quarter ATM (claim 6207), a $1B convertible (claim 5398) and an $850M convertible (claim 5307), shows the company now relying on equity-linked paper at institutional size. Share-count dilution cannot be traced from this record. The only outstanding-share figure is 8,720,405 from 2019 (claim 15152), alongside three incentive-plan reserve increases (claims 14758, 14555, 6539). The bank-debt leg did not hold. The Silvergate revolver and term loan (claims 14440, 13836), which carried a $350M adjusted net worth covenant (claim 13839), were terminated in March 2023 with notice and prepayment terms waived (claims 13180–13182). The $67M bridge loan and $14M expedite fees paid to Compute North (claims 14282, 14283) later appear only as an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim 12985), and that deployment requires explanation. The Abu Dhabi joint venture contribution is recorded as both $81.2M and $406M (claims 12974, 13085), which also requires reconciliation. On use of proceeds, the 2024 convertibles were tied to bitcoin purchases and to repurchasing 2026 notes. The stated repurchase amounts are roughly consistent across filings: $199M versus $212M (claims 5425, 5400) and $48M–$51M (claims 5345, 5349, 5310). However, the record contains no confirmation of actual repurchases or bitcoin deployed. One claim also lists the December offering at $700M (claim 5348) against $850M elsewhere. No insider sales appear, only RSU grants (claims 13964, 13965). A sophisticated reader should watch for the residual balance of the 2026 notes due December 1, 2026 (claim 14387), whether the $200M credit line (claim 5574) has been drawn, and why the disclosed record stops in December 2024.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-11Marathon's record describes a company that moved from micro-cap patching to large-scale, convertible-led funding in roughly three years. Before mid-2020 the instruments were small and improvised: an ATM sized at $7,472,417 (claims #15203, #14915), an all-stock placement of 2,335,000 shares (claim #15151), stock issued for equipment and services, and an amendment cutting a convertible note's conversion price (claim #14913). These are consistent with a company funding itself in whatever form was available. The step to a $100,000,000 S-3 (claim #14874) and then a $200,000,000 ATM (claim #14651) marks a change in scale. The 2021 Silvergate revolver of $100,000,000 (claim #14440) and the $747,500,000 in 2026 convertibles (claim #14279) give the mix more structure. Even so, the converts required a covenant waiver from the lender almost immediately (claim #14399), and the Silvergate facilities were terminated in March 2023 with fees waived (claims #13180, #13181). On the debt side, the structure looks more reactive than planned. The record contains no insider sales, only RSU grants (claims #13964, #13965) and repeated plan-share increases (claims #14758, #14555, #6539), so the main source of dilution is corporate issuance, not insider selling.
Stated uses of proceeds and actual deployment diverge in places. The $67,000,000 bridge loan and $14,000,000 in expedite fees to Compute North (claims #14282, #14283) were later followed by an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim #12985), and that outcome is not reconciled in the record. The Abu Dhabi joint venture appears as an $81,200,000 contribution (claim #12974) and separately as $406,000,000 (claim #13085). That gap requires explanation. The 2024 convertibles shift the stated purpose from infrastructure toward bitcoin acquisition (claims #5401, #5311), alongside buybacks of 2026 notes.
The late-2024 figures also need reconciling. One offering is cited at $850 (read as millions; claim #5422), completed at $1,000 with $980 net (claims #5398, #5399), while a separate $850 deal shows $835 net (claim #5344) and a $700,000,000 figure also appears (claim #5348). Planned 2026-note repurchases are cited as $199 and $212 in one deal (claims #5425, #5400) and around $48–51 in the other (claims #5345, #5310, #5349). Read together with the $489,300,000 Q1 2024 ATM (claim #6207), the balance has tilted decisively toward equity-linked funding.
A sophisticated reader should establish how much of the 2026 notes remains outstanding as the December 1, 2026 maturity (claim #14387) approaches. They should also confirm the conversion terms near $26 (claim #5402) and track whether purchased bitcoin is held or sold to meet obligations. The record ends in December 2024, so anything after that date is not covered here.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-10Marathon's financing record moves through three distinct regimes. Through 2020 the company relied on small, repeated equity raises sized to a shelf of roughly $7.5M (claims 15228, 14915), a 2019 stockholder approval to issue above 19.99% (claim 15048), and shares paid to counterparties for equipment and facility services (claims 15066, 14796). That pattern reads as patching rather than strategy. From 2021 the scale changed: a $200M ATM (claim 14651), $747.5M of 2026 convertibles including the $97.5M option (claim 14279), and a $100M Silvergate revolver (claim 14440). ATM issuance followed, at $161M by August 2022 (claim 13818) and $489.3M in Q1 2024 alone (claim 6207). Late 2024 added a $1B convertible (claim 5398) and an $850M convertible (claim 9275) within about two weeks, with a $200M credit line shortly before (claim 5574). Dilution has shifted from frequent small issuance to large ATM draws plus a convertible overhang that defers dilution rather than avoiding it.
After 2021 the mix looks more coherent, with convertibles partly refinancing earlier convertibles and the ATM funding operations. The bank leg did not hold. The Silvergate facilities were terminated, with the bank waiving its notice period and prepayment charge (claims 13180-13182). That exit was forced rather than planned.
Use of proceeds is only partly traceable. The late-2024 notes cited bitcoin purchases and repurchases of the 2026 notes (claims 5401, 5311). The stated repurchase amounts vary: $199M and $212M for the November deal (claims 5425, 5400), roughly $48-51M for December (claims 5345, 5310), and a separate $50M entry (claim 5349). The record does not confirm completed amounts. An earlier commitment, the $67M bridge loan to Compute North (claim 14282), ended in an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim 12985). The Abu Dhabi contributions appear in inconsistent units (claims 13085, 12953). A $700M convertible entry (claim 5348) does not reconcile with the other offerings and requires explanation.
On the insider side, the record shows equity incentive plan increases (claims 14758, 14555, 6539) and executive RSU grants (claims 13964, 13965), but no insider sales. A sophisticated reader should watch for four things: confirmation of completed 2026 note repurchases; the conversion terms on the 2024 notes (claim 5402); the ATM pace relative to Q1 2024; and whether bitcoin-purchase disclosures reconcile with stated net proceeds of $980M and $835M (claims 5399, 5308).
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-10Marathon's record divides into two regimes. Through 2020 the company financed itself in small increments: ATM capacity of roughly $7.5M was put in place more than once (claims #15203, #14915, #14848), alongside a $6.9M underwritten offering (claim #14850), an all-stock private placement of 2,335,000 shares (claim #15151), and share-settled equipment purchases (claim #15066). That is the cadence of a company covering near-term needs rather than executing a plan. From 2021 the scale changes. A $200M ATM (claim #14651), a $100M Silvergate revolver (claim #14440), and $747.5M of 2026 convertibles (claim #14279) arrived within roughly six months. Further ATM issuance followed, $161M per claim #14818 and $489.3M in Q1 2024 per claim #6207, and then a $1B convertible in November 2024 (claim #5398) and an $850M convertible in December (claim #5342). Dilution now arrives through both direct issuance and embedded conversion optionality, and its absolute size has grown with each cycle.
The mix looks more deliberate after 2021, but its shape was partly forced. Bank debt was a stated pillar, including a revolver and a $100M term loan with covenants (claims #13835, #13836, #13839). It ended with the Silvergate termination in March 2023 (claim #13180), and a $200M line of credit appeared only in October 2024 (claim #5574). In the interval the company relied on ATM equity and a $14.25M preferred placement (claim #12486). The record shows no insider sales. Insider activity is limited to RSU grants (claims #13964, #13965) and repeated expansions of the incentive plan (claims #14758, #14555, #6539).
Use-of-proceeds tracking is incomplete. The 2024 convertibles were earmarked for bitcoin purchases and for repurchasing 2026 notes, roughly $212M and $51M per claims #5400 and #5310. Only a $50M repurchase is recorded as executed (claim #5349). The $67M Compute North bridge loan (claim #14282) is later reflected only as an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim #12985), and that outcome requires explanation. The Abu Dhabi contribution is recorded inconsistently, as $406M, $406,000, and $81.2M across claims #13085, #12953, and #12974. Several other amounts in the record also show apparent unit-scaling errors.
The next thing to watch is the December 1, 2026 maturity of the original convertibles (claim #14387). The record does not establish how much principal remains outstanding after the announced repurchases. It also does not show whether the converts-refinancing-converts pattern will continue or give way to equity.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-10Marathon's record shows dilution that grew by orders of magnitude rather than steadily. Equity programs sized near $7.5M in 2019 (claim 15203) gave way to a $200M ATM in 2021 (claim 14651), $161M of ATM issuance reported by August 2022 (claim 13818), and $489.3M raised through the ATM in Q1 2024 alone (claim 6207). Running alongside this are repeated equity incentive plan increases (claims 14758, 14555, 6539). Taken together, the company leaned on its own stock as the default funding source, and each new step was larger than the last.
The financing mix is more opportunistic than planned. The 2021 cycle stacked a $100M Silvergate revolver (claim 14440), a $747.5M convertible package (claim 14279), and a term loan added in 2022 (claim 13836). Within roughly four months of that term loan, a covenant waiver (claim 14309) and an amendment (claim 14399) were needed. The Silvergate facilities were then terminated in March 2023 with notice and prepayment charges waived (claims 13180, 13181). A small preferred placement (claim 12486) and a $200M credit line in 2024 (claim 5574) look like gap-fillers rather than parts of a design. The 2024 convertibles do show a deliberate pivot: proceeds were used to refinance the 2026 notes and to buy bitcoin (claims 5400, 5401, 5311).
The link between announced use of proceeds and actual deployment is weakest around Compute North. A $67M bridge loan and $14M in expedite fees (claims 14282, 14283) are later followed only by an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim 12985), and the recovery amount is not discussed. The Abu Dhabi contribution appears as both $406M and $81.2M (claims 13085, 12974), which is consistent with a project-level total versus Marathon's share, but the record does not reconcile the two. The 2024 offering figures also require explanation. The same deal is recorded at $850 (claim 5422), $700,000,000 (claim 5348), and as a completed $1 billion raise (claim 5398), and the planned 2026-note repurchases range from $48 to $212 (claims 5345, 5400).
The record ends in December 2024, so nearly two years of activity is absent. A careful reader should watch for the outstanding balance of the 2026 notes at their December 1, 2026 maturity (claim 14387), and for whether bitcoin bought with convertible proceeds is held or sold. Draws on the $200M line deserve attention, as does whether ATM issuance continues to outpace the share counts the company reports. The record shows no insider sales, only grants, so that question cannot be assessed here.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-10Marathon's financing record traces a company that moved from small-scale patching to large, structured capital raising, though the sequence was shaped by events as often as by plan. Through 2019 and 2020 the company raised in single-digit millions, mainly through H.C. Wainwright at-the-market programs of roughly $7.5M (claims 15203, 14848), an all-stock private placement (claim 15151), and repeated repricing of a small convertible note (claims 14913, 14892). The step-change came in 2021. A $200M ATM (claim 14651), a $100M Silvergate revolver (claim 14440) and $747.5M of 2026 convertible notes (claim 14279) arrived within about seven months. Dilution then accelerated again: $161M of ATM issuance is recorded by mid-2022 (claim 13818) and $489.3M in Q1 2024 alone (claim 6207). Alongside this, the equity incentive plan reserve was enlarged three times (claims 14758, 14555, 6539).
The mix reads as coherent in intent, pairing low-coupon converts with ATM equity and bank liquidity, but less coherent in execution. The Silvergate relationship was expanded with a $100M term loan in August 2022 (claim 13836), then terminated in March 2023 with prepayment and notice requirements waived (claims 13180, 13181, 13182). That ended the debt leg rather than refinancing it. The $14.25M Series A preferred placement in mid-2023 (claim 12486) looks like a gap-filler between larger instruments.
Use of proceeds tracks only partially. The $67M bridge loan and $14M expedite fees to Compute North (claims 14282, 14283) were later followed by an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim 12985), and the recorded amount of that claim requires explanation. The Abu Dhabi contribution appears as both $81.2M and $406M (claims 12974, 13085). The 2024 convertible offerings stated two purposes, acquiring bitcoin and repurchasing 2026 notes (claims 5401, 5311). The stated repurchase amounts were revised across filings: $199M, then $212M for the November deal (claims 5425, 5400), and $48M to $51M for December (claims 5345, 5310), with $50M recorded as executed (claim 5349). The record does not show the bitcoin deployment. No insider sales appear on record, only RSU grants (claims 13964, 13965).
The nearest item to watch is the December 1, 2026 maturity of the original converts (claim 14387), now weeks away. The record does not establish how much principal remains after repurchases, and that requires explanation. Readers should also note that the record contains no financing events after December 2024.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-09Marathon's record describes two companies. Through 2020 it was a micro-cap financing itself in small increments: an ATM sized at roughly $7.47M (claim 15203, restated in claim 14915), an all-stock placement of 2,335,000 shares that left 8,720,405 shares outstanding (claims 15151, 15152), stockholder approval to exceed the 19.99% issuance threshold (claim 15048), and a convertible note amendment that lowered the conversion price (claim 14913). That sequence reads as opportunistic patching rather than strategy. The shift came with the $100M S-3 (claim 14874) and the $200M ATM (claim 14651), after which the company moved to large instruments: $747.5M of 2026 convertibles including the exercised option (claims 14387, 14369, 14279), Silvergate revolving and term facilities (claims 14440, 13836), $161M of further ATM issuance by August 2022 (claim 13818), and $489.3M of ATM sales in Q1 2024 alone (claim 6207). Dilution was continuous throughout, but the instrument mix grew more deliberate over time, with converts used for large raises and the ATM used to cover the periods between them.
The link between stated and actual use of proceeds is uneven. The $67M bridge loan and $14M of expedite fees paid to Compute North (claims 14282, 14283) were later followed by an unsecured claim in Compute North's bankruptcy (claim 12985), and the record does not show what was recovered. The Silvergate facilities, whose covenants included a $350M minimum adjusted net worth (claim 13839), were terminated early with notice and prepayment waivers (claims 13180, 13181). The Abu Dhabi contribution appears as both $81.2M and $406M (claims 12974, 13085), and those figures require explanation. The late-2024 convertibles moved the stated use of proceeds from infrastructure toward buying bitcoin and repurchasing 2026 notes (claims 5401, 5311). The planned repurchase amounts were revised several times, from $199M to $212M for the first deal (claims 5425, 5400) and from $48M to $51M for the second (claims 5345, 5310). The record states these intentions but does not document that the purchases were carried out.
The data is incomplete. The final claim is truncated, nothing is recorded after December 2024, and no insider transactions appear at all, so no view on insider selling can be drawn. A careful reader should first establish how much of the 2026 notes remains after the stated repurchases, because that maturity falls in December 2026 (claim 14387). They should also check whether the bitcoin purchases funded by the 2024 offerings are reported as completed, whether the conversion terms of the new notes (claim 5402) and the holder put date (claim 5405) create refinancing pressure, and whether ATM usage has continued at the pace recorded in 2024.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-09Marathon's financing record falls into three distinct phases, and the scale changes sharply between them. Through 2019 and mid-2020 the company relied on small, repeated equity measures. These included a shelf of roughly $7.47M (claim #15228), a 2,335,000-share private placement (claim #15151), stockholder approval to issue above the 19.99% threshold (claim #15048), and two amendments lowering the conversion price on the Bi-Coastal note (claims #14913, #14892). Repricing an existing instrument to keep it serviceable reads as patching rather than a plan. The $100M S-3 (claim #14874) and the $200M ATM (claim #14651) moved the company to an equity-funded growth posture. The $650M convertible due 2026 (claim #14387), with its $97.5M option exercised (claim #14369), then made convertible debt the primary instrument. That pattern held through the November 2024 $1B offering (claim #5398) and the December $850M offering (claim #5307). Over the same period, the equity incentive plan reserve was raised repeatedly (claims #14758, #14555, #6539).
Bank debt has a shorter and less settled history. The Silvergate revolver (claim #14440) was amended with a waiver within about five weeks to accommodate the convertible (claim #14399). It was expanded with a term loan (claim #13836) and then terminated in March 2023 with prepayment and notice waivers (claims #13180, #13181, #13182). The $200M line in October 2024 (claim #5574) is the only subsequent bank facility on record.
Stated uses of proceeds can only partly be traced to deployment. Equipment purchases are documented (claims #14843, #14795). The $67M bridge loan to Compute North (claim #14282) ends in an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim #12985), whose recorded figure requires explanation. The Abu Dhabi contribution appears as both $81.2M (claim #12974) and $406M (claim #13085), and the record does not reconcile the two. For the 2024 notes, the planned repurchase of 2026 notes was revised from $199M (claim #5425) to $212M (claim #5400). Bitcoin acquisition is stated as intent (claims #5401, #5311), but no claim confirms the purchases. The record also lists a $700M figure (claim #5348) against the $850M completed offering, which requires explanation.
The record contains no insider transactions, and it truncates in December 2024. A careful reader should therefore look for the residual 2026 principal after repurchases, since those notes mature December 1, 2026 (claim #14387). They should also look for whether the $26 conversion terms (claim #5402) come into play, how the Abu Dhabi figures reconcile, and any post-2024 ATM activity on the scale of the $489.3M Q1 2024 issuance (claim #6207).
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-09The record shows Marathon moving from micro-cap survival financing to large-scale convertible issuance, with equity sales running alongside throughout. The early years are small and reactive. Shelf and ATM capacity sat near $7.47M (claims #15228, #15203, #14915), a convertible note was amended to lower its conversion price (claim #14913), and stockholders approved issuance above the 19.99% threshold (claim #15048). These read as patches rather than a plan. The scale changes in 2021. A $200M ATM (claim #14651) was followed by $650M of 2026 convertibles plus a $97.5M option exercise (claims #14387, #14369), and a $100M Silvergate revolver (claim #14440) added bank leverage. By 2024 the pattern looks deliberate. Equity was issued through the ATM, $489.3M in Q1 2024 alone (claim #6207), while successive convertible deals refinanced the 2026 notes: a $1B offering with $212M earmarked for repurchase (claims #5398, #5400), then $850M with roughly $51M directed the same way (claims #5307, #5310). The stated use of proceeds also shifted, from infrastructure toward acquiring bitcoin (claims #5401, #5311). Deployment does not always track announcements. The $67M bridge loan and $14M of expedite fees paid to Compute North (claims #14282, #14283) were later followed by an unsecured claim in that hosting provider's bankruptcy (claim #12985), and that outcome requires explanation relative to the original rationale. The Silvergate facilities were expanded with a $100M term loan (claim #13836) and drawn by $35M (claim #13817), then terminated within months with fees waived (claims #13180, #13181). The December 2024 deal is recorded as both $700M and $850M (claims #5348, #5307), which should be reconciled. Several figures appear in inconsistent units across filings. The record holds no insider sale data, only RSU grants (claims #13964, #13965), so insider behavior cannot be assessed, and the data ends in December 2024. A careful reader should watch four things: how much of the 2026 notes remains after the partial repurchases, the holder put and earliest redemption dates on the new notes (claims #5404, #5405), whether ATM issuance continues at the 2024 pace, and whether the Abu Dhabi commitment, recorded as $406M at the facility level and $81.2M in contributions (claims #13085, #12974), shows up in later deployment disclosures.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-09Marathon's record divides into two regimes. Through 2020 the company funded itself in small, reactive increments: ATM capacity of roughly $7.5M (claims 15203, 14915), a private placement (claim 15151), a stockholder vote to exceed the 19.99% issuance cap (claim 15048), and a convertible note amendment that lowered the conversion price (claim 14913). That is patching rather than strategy, and lowering a conversion price on existing paper is the kind of concession that tends to accompany limited negotiating leverage. The August 2020 S-3 for $100M (claim 14874) marks the transition. From 2021 onward the instruments scale sharply and become more deliberate: a $200M ATM (claim 14651), $747.5M of 2026 convertibles including the exercised option (claims 14279, 14369), and Silvergate revolving and term facilities (claims 14440, 13836) carrying a $25M liquidity covenant and a $350M adjusted net worth covenant (claims 14444, 13839). Those facilities were terminated in March 2023 with notice and prepayment charges waived (claims 13180, 13181), so the debt layer was unwound rather than rolled. Equity dilution continued at scale through the ATM, with $161M issued by mid-2022 (claim 13818) and $489.3M in Q1 2024 alone (claim 6207). On deployment, the 2021 period requires explanation. A $67M bridge loan and $14M in expedite fees to Compute North (claims 14282, 14283) were followed by an unsecured claim in that hosting provider's bankruptcy (claim 12985), and the record does not show what was recovered. The Abu Dhabi venture appears as both an $81.2M contribution and a $406M facility figure (claims 12974, 13085), a gap the record leaves unreconciled. The November and December 2024 convertibles, $1B and $850M (claims 5398, 5307), state two uses: repurchasing 2026 notes ($212M and roughly $51M per claims 5400, 5310) and acquiring bitcoin (claims 5401, 5311). Part of the proceeds therefore extends maturities, and part funds a balance-sheet asset rather than operations. Several principal figures remain not_yet_verifiable (claims 5342, 5422), and claim 5348's $700M figure does not match the $850M elsewhere. The record contains no insider sales, and it is truncated after December 2024. A reader should next watch how much of the 2026 notes remain outstanding, the holder repurchase dates on the new paper (claim 5405), whether bitcoin purchases are disclosed at amounts matching the stated use of proceeds, and whether the ATM continues to run alongside convertible issuance.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-09Marathon's disclosed financing history falls into three regimes. Through 2020 the company funded itself in small increments: an ATM sized at roughly $7.5M (claims #15203, #14915), a 2,335,000-share all-stock placement (claim #15151), a reduced conversion price on the Bi-Coastal note (claims #14913, #14892), and share-settled equipment and services arrangements (claims #15066, #14796). That pattern reads as opportunistic patching rather than a capital plan. The $100M S-3 (claim #14874) and the $200M ATM (claim #14651), reported completed by January 2021 per claim #14296, mark the shift to scale. They were followed by the $650M 1.00% convertible due 2026 and its $97.5M option (claims #14387, #14369), and the $100M Silvergate revolver (claim #14440). The 2022 term loan layer (claim #13836) carried a $350M adjusted net worth covenant (claim #13839). Those facilities were terminated in March 2023 with the notice and prepayment charges waived (claims #13180, #13181), a change driven by the counterparty rather than by plan.
Equity issuance stayed constant in the background and grew larger over time. The $161M of ATM issuance cited in August 2022 (claim #13818) was exceeded by $489.3M in Q1 2024 alone (claim #6207), so dilution accelerated as the company scaled. Equity plan reserves were also raised repeatedly (claims #14758, #14555, #6539). The record contains no insider sale disclosures, so that dimension cannot be assessed.
The late-2024 convertibles move the structure toward debt plus conversion optionality. The $1B offering (claim #5398) and the $850M offering (claim #5307) both cite repurchases of the 2026 notes, but those allocations are modest at roughly $212M and $51M (claims #5400, #5310). The bulk of proceeds was designated for bitcoin purchases (claims #5401, #5311), a balance-sheet strategy rather than operating capex.
Earlier stated uses of proceeds match actual outcomes less cleanly. The $67M Compute North bridge loan and the $14M expedite fees (claims #14282, #14283) were followed by an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim #12985). The Abu Dhabi contribution appears as both $81.2M and $406M (claims #12974, #13085), a discrepancy that requires explanation. Several figures in the record are reported in inconsistent units, and the dataset truncates in December 2024.
Going forward, readers should watch four things: whether the remaining 2026 notes are retired before maturity, how the 2024 notes' conversion terms (claim #5402) compare with the share price, whether ATM issuance continues alongside convertible issuance, and whether the $200M credit line (claim #5574) is drawn.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-07The record traces a company whose financing scale grew by several orders of magnitude, from a $7.47M shelf and ATM capacity in 2019 (claims #15228, #15203) to a $200M ATM in 2021 (claim #14651) and an at-the-market raise of $489.3M in a single quarter of 2024 (claim #6207). Dilution was continuous rather than episodic. ATM programs recur in nearly every year on record, supplemented by equity incentive plan increases in 2020, 2021 and 2023 (claims #14758, #14555, #6539) and by share-settled equipment and facility payments (claims #15066, #14733).
The mix shifted coherently in one direction: from small equity and ATM raises toward large convertible issuance. The 1.00% notes due 2026 totaled $747.5M (claim #14279). The Silvergate relationship was less durable. A $100M revolver (claim #14440) was followed by a $100M term facility (claim #13836), and both were terminated in March 2023 with prepayment and notice waivers (claims #13194, #13181). The facilities therefore ran less than eighteen months. The late-2024 cycle used new convertibles partly to retire the 2026 notes, which reads as liability management rather than patching. The volume and overlap of the late-2024 figures, however, $1B (claim #5398), $850M (claim #5307) and $700M (claim #5348), make it hard to reconcile from the record alone how many distinct tranches were issued.
Announced uses of proceeds track actual deployment only partially. The planned repurchase of 2026 notes was stated at $199M (claim #5425) and $212M (claim #5400), then at $48M–$51M (claims #5345, #5310), with $50M executed (claim #5349). That sequence is a revision, not a contradiction, but it requires explanation. Bitcoin acquisition was stated as a use (claims #5401, #5311), and the record contains no corresponding deployment figure. The $67M bridge loan to Compute North (claim #14282) later appears alongside an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim #12985). The Abu Dhabi contribution is recorded as $81.2M (claim #12974) and separately as $406M (claim #13085), and these figures do not reconcile.
No insider sales appear in the record, so that dimension cannot be assessed. A reader should watch for three things. The first is the holder repurchase date and earliest redemption date on the 2024 notes (claims #5404, #5405). The second is whether residual 2026 notes are retired or refinanced again. The third is whether ATM usage continues at 2024 scale. The record provided ends mid-entry, so later events may not be reflected here.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-06Marathon's financing record moves through three distinct phases, and the shift between them matters more than any single transaction. Through 2019 and into 2020, the company funded itself in small increments: at-the-market capacity of roughly $7.5 million (claims 15203 and 14915), an all-stock private placement (claim 15151), and shares issued directly for mining equipment (claim 15066). It also cut the conversion price on a consultant's note (claim 14913). That pattern reflects a company managing liquidity rather than executing a capital plan. The $100 million S-3 in August 2020 (claim 14874) and the $200 million ATM in 2021 (claim 14651) mark the move to scale, and the $650 million convertible plus the $97.5 million option (claims 14387 and 14369) shifted the funding base from equity to convertible debt.
The bank-debt chapter is the least durable part of the record. The Silvergate revolver (claim 14440) was expanded with a term loan (claim 13836) and drawn for $35 million (claim 13817), then terminated in March 2023 with notice and prepayment charges waived (claims 13180 through 13182). The $67 million bridge loan to Compute North (claim 14282) is later followed only by an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim 12985), and its ultimate recovery is no longer discussed in the record. The Series A preferred placement (claim 12486) is marked delayed and requires explanation.
The 2024 activity looks like a deliberate return to the earlier template at much larger size: a $489.3 million ATM in a single quarter (claim 6207), then a $1 billion convertible (claim 5398) and an $850 million convertible (claim 5307), with stated uses of buying bitcoin and repurchasing 2026 notes. The planned repurchase amounts were revised between pricing and closing ($199 million to $212 million, claims 5425 and 5400; $48 million to $51 million, claims 5345 and 5310). The record does not confirm that either repurchase was executed. One claim gives the December offering as $700 million (claim 5348), which conflicts with the $850 million stated elsewhere.
The record contains equity-plan increases (claims 14758, 14555 and 6539) and RSU grants (claims 13964 and 13965) but no insider sales, so it cannot support conclusions about insider behavior. The data also ends abruptly in December 2024. A reader should look for evidence of how much of the 2026 notes remains ahead of the December 2026 maturity (claim 14387). Other open items are how the holder put rights on the 2024 notes are structured (claim 5405) and whether ATM issuance has resumed alongside the convertible stack.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-05Marathon's record traces a company that moved from micro-cap patching to programmatic capital raising, with dilution concentrated in equity programs until 2021 and in convertibles from 2021 onward. The early years show small, overlapping instruments: a $7.47M ATM capacity (claim #15203), an all-stock private placement (claim #15151), a convertible note whose conversion price was cut (claim #14913), and repeated equity issuance to vendors and facility operators (claims #14796, #14733). That reads as opportunistic financing driven by liquidity needs rather than a defined capital plan. The equity plan reserve was also raised repeatedly, by 10M, 5M and 7.5M shares (claims #15460, #14758, #14555), plus a further increase (claim #6539), so compensation dilution is a recurring layer.
From 2021 the scale changed. The $200M ATM (claim #14651) was followed by $650M of 1.00% notes plus a $97.5M option (claims #14387, #14369) and Silvergate revolving and term facilities of $100M each (claims #14440, #13836). The bank leg did not hold up: $35M was drawn (claim #13817) and the facilities were terminated in March 2023, with prepayment and notice waivers (claims #13180–#13182). ATM issuance then resumed at size, with $489.3M in Q1 2024 alone (claim #6207). The resulting mix is equity at the market, convertibles for size, and secured bank debt abandoned. That pattern looks coherent in hindsight, although it emerged by substitution rather than design.
On deployment, two items require explanation. The $67M bridge loan and $14M of expedite fees to Compute North (claims #14282, #14283) were followed by an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim #12985), and the record does not quantify recovery. The 2024 notes, $1B and $850M (claims #5398, #5307), cited repurchase of the 2026 notes and bitcoin purchases (claims #5401, #5311). The stated repurchase amounts were about $199–212M for the first offering (claims #5425, #5400) and about $48–51M for the second (claims #5345, #5310, #5349), but the data does not confirm the repurchases or the bitcoin purchases as executed. The Series A preferred placement (claim #12532) is marked delayed and is no longer discussed.
The disclosed data contains no insider sales, and the record ends in December 2024, so the analysis cannot extend past that point. A careful reader should next look for confirmation of the 2026 note repurchases, for the holder repurchase and redemption dates on the 2024 notes (claims #5404, #5405), and for whether ATM issuance resumes alongside the convertible stack.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-05Marathon's record describes a financing posture that scaled by roughly two orders of magnitude in five years. The 2019-2020 period consists of small, repeated equity patches: an ATM program sized at $7,472,417 (claim 15203, restated in claim 14915), a $5,293,246 equity offering (claim 14895), and convertible note amendments that reduced conversion prices (claims 14913, 14892). The $100,000,000 S-3 (claim 14874) and the $200,000,000 ATM (claim 14651) mark the transition to institutional-scale issuance. Each later step was larger: the $650,000,000 convertible due 2026 with its $97,500,000 option exercised (claims 14387, 14369), an ATM draw of $161,042,274 (claim 13818), a Q1 2024 ATM of $489,300,000 (claim 6207), and two convertibles in late 2024, $1,000 million (claim 5398) and $850 million (claim 5307).
The mix reads as more coherent after 2021 than before it. Bank debt with Silvergate, a $100,000,000 revolver and term loan with liquidity and net-worth covenants (claims 14440, 13836, 13839), was terminated in March 2023 with fees waived (claims 13180, 13181). That ended the secured-lending approach. Since then the company has relied on ATM equity and unsecured convertibles, with a $200,000,000 line of credit (claim 5574) as the only new facility on record. The $14,250,000 Series A preferred placement (claim 12532) is the exception and is marked delayed.
The record only partly shows how proceeds were deployed. The $67,000,000 bridge loan and $14,000,000 in expedite fees to Compute North (claims 14282, 14283) were later followed by an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim 12985), which needs explanation alongside the original rationale. The Abu Dhabi contribution appears as both $81,200,000 (claim 12974) and $406,000,000 (claim 13085). The record does not reconcile the company share against the project total. For the 2024 convertibles, the stated uses were repurchasing 2026 notes, $212 million per claim 5400 and $51 million per claim 5310, and buying bitcoin (claims 5401, 5311). Only a $50,000,000 repurchase is confirmed (claim 5349). The record contains no insider sales, only RSU grants (claims 13964, 13965).
Several things are worth watching. The first is whether the larger November 2024 repurchase was completed. The second is how much of the 2026 notes remains ahead of the December 1, 2026 maturity (claim 14387), which is now close. The third is whether bitcoin purchases are disclosed in amounts that match the stated net proceeds. The record is truncated after December 2024, so later events are not covered.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-03Marathon's record divides into two regimes. Through 2020 the company raised capital in small increments: a shelf of $7,472,417 (claim #15228), an ATM program of the same size with H.C. Wainwright (claim #15203), and an all-stock private placement of 2,335,000 shares that left 8,720,405 shares outstanding (claims #15151, #15152). The $100,000,000 S-3 (claim #14874) marks the transition, and 2021 brings a different order of magnitude: a $200,000,000 ATM (claim #14651), $650,000,000 of 1.00% convertible notes plus the $97,500,000 option exercise (claims #14387, #14369), and a $100,000,000 Silvergate revolver (claim #14440). ATM issuance reached $489,300,000 in Q1 2024 alone (claim #6207), and repeated equity incentive plan increases (claims #14758, #14555, #6539) add a steady layer of compensation dilution beneath the larger offerings. Dilution has been continuous and has accelerated.
The mix looks more deliberate from 2021 onward. Equity funds operations, converts provide large tranches of term capital, and bank credit adds liquidity. The bank leg did not hold. The Silvergate revolver and term loan (claim #13836) were terminated in March 2023 with fees waived (claims #13180, #13181), and a $200,000,000 line of credit appears only later (claim #5574). The 2024 converts partly refinance the 2026 notes, with planned repurchases of roughly $199M to $212M (claims #5425, #5400) and about $50M (claims #5349, #5310). Even so, most proceeds are new money rather than refinancing.
Deployment tracks the stated use of proceeds unevenly. The $67,000,000 bridge loan and $14,000,000 expedite fees to Compute North (claims #14282, #14283) were later followed by an unsecured claim in that counterparty's bankruptcy (claim #12985). Abu Dhabi contributions appear as $406,000,000, $81,200,000 and $406,000 across filings on the same date (claims #13085, #12974, #12953), which requires explanation. The 2024 notes name bitcoin purchases as a use of proceeds (claims #5401, #5311), but the record shows no corresponding deployment.
Several things are worth watching next. One is the remaining 2026 convertible balance and the holder repurchase date on the new notes (claim #5405). Another is whether the conversion price of roughly $26 (claim #5402) stays in range, and whether ATM usage resumes at 2024 scale. No insider transactions appear in this record, several amounts are recorded in inconsistent units, and the dataset is truncated after claim #5255, so conclusions about 2025 onward are not supported.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-10-01Marathon's record traces a company that moved from survival-scale financing to balance-sheet engineering in about three years. The 2019-2020 period relied on small, repeated shelf and ATM capacity near $7.5M (claims #15228, #14915), supplemented by stock paid directly for equipment and services (claims #15066, #14843, #14733). That is the profile of a micro-cap paying with paper. The step change came with the $200M ATM (claim #14651) and then the $650M convertible plus its $97.5M option (claims #14387, #14369), which together moved the capital stack from equity dribbles to institutional debt. Dilution did not stop when convertibles arrived. ATM issuance of $161M by mid-2022 (claim #13818) and $489.3M in Q1 2024 alone (claim #6207) indicate that equity remained the primary lever, with convertibles layered on top rather than replacing it.
The mix reads as directionally coherent but tactically reactive. The Silvergate revolver and term loan (claims #14440, #13836), carrying a $350M net-worth covenant (claim #13839), were terminated in March 2023 with fee and notice waivers (claims #13180, #13181, #13182), so that debt channel closed under external pressure rather than by plan. The $67M bridge loan and $14M expedite fees to Compute North (claims #14282, #14283) later surface only as a bankruptcy unsecured claim (claim #12985). The record does not show a recovery, and that outcome requires explanation.
Use-of-proceeds tracking is incomplete. The 2024 convertibles state bitcoin acquisition and repurchase of the 2026 notes (claims #5401, #5311). The planned repurchase figure was revised from $199M (claim #5425) to $212M (claim #5400), and the December deal targets roughly $51M (claim #5310). Actual deployment into bitcoin is not disclosed in this record. December sizing also requires reconciliation: $700M (claim #5348) appears against $850M completed (claim #5307). The $81.2M Abu Dhabi contribution sits against a $406M facility figure (claim #13085), and the record does not show the remainder being funded.
The record contains equity-plan increases (claims #14758, #14555, #6539) and RSU grants (claims #13964, #13965), but no insider sales, so that dimension cannot be assessed. The data appears to end in December 2024. A careful reader should watch four things: how much of the 2026 notes remains outstanding, whether the stock trades through the roughly $26 conversion price (claim #5402), whether ATM usage resumes alongside the convertibles, and whether the bitcoin purchases from note proceeds are ever reported separately.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-27Marathon's record shows three distinct financing regimes rather than one steady cadence. Through 2020 the company relied on small, repeated equity raises: at-the-market capacity of roughly $7.5 million (claims #15203, #14915), an all-stock placement of 2,335,000 shares (claim #15151), stockholder approval to issue above the 19.99% threshold (claim #15048), and a convertible note amended to a lower conversion price (claim #14913). That pattern reads as funding to survive rather than funding to a plan. The 2021 step-up was abrupt. A $200 million ATM (claim #14651) was followed within months by $650 million of 1.00% convertible notes due 2026 (claim #14387) plus the $97.5 million option (claim #14369). A Silvergate revolver (claim #14440) required a covenant waiver almost immediately to accommodate those notes (claims #14399, #14309). The 2022 term loan (claim #13836) and $35 million revolver draw (claim #13817) were unwound in March 2023, with the prepayment charge waived (claims #13180, #13181). That makes bank debt look like a bridge instrument rather than a durable part of the structure. By 2024 the mix had consolidated around ATM equity, with $489.3 million in Q1 alone (claim #6207), and back-to-back convertibles of $1 billion (claim #5398) and $850 million (claim #5307). That is more coherent than the early period, but it depends heavily on equity-linked paper. Use of proceeds is only partly traceable. The $67 million Compute North bridge loan and $14 million expedite fees (claims #14282, #14283) were later followed by an unsecured claim in Compute North's bankruptcy (claim #12985), a deployment outcome that differs from the original purpose. The Abu Dhabi contribution appears as both $81.2 million and $406 million (claims #12974, #13085), which requires explanation. The 2024 notes named 2026-note repurchases and bitcoin purchases as uses (claims #5400, #5401, #5311). The stated repurchase amounts differ across filings (claims #5345, #5349, #5310), and the record contains no confirmation of how much bitcoin was actually acquired. The record supplied ends mid-December 2024 and contains no insider transactions, so no read on insider selling is possible. Going forward, a reader should watch how much of the 2026 notes remains after the repurchases, whether conversion prices near $26 (claim #5402) turn the convertible stack into equity dilution, and whether the $200 million credit line (claim #5574) is drawn.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-26Marathon's financing record traces a company that moved from micro-cap patching to capital-markets scale in roughly two years, then repeated that escalation at a larger magnitude in 2024. The 2019–2020 period consists of small, overlapping instruments: an ATM capacity of about $7.47M (claims #15203 and #14915), an all-stock private placement of 2,335,000 shares (claim #15151), and a repriced convertible note (claim #14913). The shift comes with the $100M S-3 (claim #14874) and the $200M ATM (claim #14651). That ATM is recorded as completed in January 2021 (claim #14296) but the agreement claim is dated May 2021, a sequencing gap that requires explanation. From there the mix leans toward convertibles: $650M of 2026 notes plus the $97.5M option (claims #14387, #14369), and later a $1B offering with $980M net (claims #5398, #5399) followed by an $850M issue with $835M net (claims #5307, #5308). Equity dilution continued alongside this, including the $161M ATM tranche (claim #13818) and $489.3M of ATM sales in Q1 2024 alone (claim #6207). The pattern reads as deliberate layering rather than distress financing, though the debt leg has been revised repeatedly. The Silvergate revolver and term loan (claims #14440, #13836), with $35M drawn (claim #13817), were terminated in March 2023 with fees waived (claims #13180, #13181), and a $200M credit line appeared later (claim #5574). Use-of-proceeds tracking is uneven. The $67M bridge loan and $14M expedite fees to Compute North (claims #14282, #14283) were followed by an unsecured claim in that counterparty's bankruptcy (claim #12985). The Abu Dhabi joint venture contribution of $81.2M (claim #12974) is also marked delayed in one entry (claim #13066). The 2024 converts state two uses, repurchasing 2026 notes and buying bitcoin (claims #5400, #5401, #5311). The stated repurchase amounts are small relative to gross proceeds, roughly $212M and $51M (claims #5400, #5310). One claim lists the December offering at $700M (claim #5348) against $850M elsewhere, which requires reconciliation. No insider sales appear in this record; insider activity is limited to RSU grants (claims #13964, #13965). A careful reader should watch four things: the residual 2026 note balance, conversion behavior around the stated conversion price (claim #5402), exercise of the delayed greenshoe (claim #5309), and the holder repurchase date (claim #5405). The record is truncated after December 2024, so later events are not assessed here.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-26Marathon's record describes a company that moved from micro-cap patching to large-scale balance-sheet engineering, and the dilution cadence follows that arc. Before 2021, capital came in small, reactive pieces: at-the-market capacity of roughly $7.47M (claim #15203, #14915), an all-stock private placement (claim #15151), stockholder approval to issue above 19.99% (claim #15048), and a convertible note amendment that lowered the conversion price (claim #14913). Equipment and facility services were repeatedly paid for in shares (claims #15066, #14796, #14733), and the equity plan reserve was enlarged three times (claims #14758, #14555, #6539). Taken together, the early mix reads as opportunistic rather than planned.
From 2021 the structure becomes more deliberate. A $200M ATM (claim #14651, completion per #14325) was followed by the $650M convertible plus the $97.5M option, $747.5M in total (claims #14387, #14369, #14279), with a Silvergate revolver and term loan layered alongside (claims #14440, #13836). That bank relationship was then unwound in March 2023 with prepayment and notice waivers (claims #13180, #13181, #13182). The 2024 cycle repeats the pattern at larger scale: $489.3M of ATM issuance in one quarter (claim #6207), then a $1B convertible (claim #5398) and an $850M convertible (claim #5307), each partly earmarked to retire 2026 notes (claims #5400, #5310).
Use of proceeds has shifted materially. Early disclosures tie capital to mining hardware, such as the Antminer purchase (claim #14843). The Compute North bridge loan and expedite fees (claims #14282, #14283) were followed by a bankruptcy unsecured claim (claim #12985), a deployment the record does not revisit. By late 2024 the stated uses are bitcoin acquisition and refinancing (claims #5401, #5311) rather than operating capacity. The Abu Dhabi contributions appear in inconsistent units across claims #13085, #12974 and #12953, so their scale requires explanation. The Series A preferred placement (claim #12532) is marked delayed and is no longer discussed.
A careful reader should watch four things: how much of the 2026 notes remains after the partial repurchases, whether the $150M greenshoe (claim #5309, delayed) was exercised, how the roughly $26 conversion reference (claim #5402) compares with the share price ahead of the holder put date (claim #5405), and whether ATM usage resumes. The record contains no insider sale data, and the supplied list ends mid-entry in December 2024, so later events are not assessed here.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-26Marathon's financing record describes a company that changed scale rather than strategy. Through 2020 it funded itself in small increments: shelf and ATM capacity of roughly $7.5M (claims 15228, 15203, 14915), an all-stock private placement of 2,335,000 shares against 8,720,405 outstanding (claims 15151, 15152), a convertible note amendment that lowered the conversion price (claim 14913), and shares issued in place of cash for equipment and facility services (claims 15066, 14796, 14733). The stockholder approval to issue above 19.99% (claim 15048) and repeated increases to the equity plan reserve (claims 14758, 14555, 6539) confirm that dilution was the default funding tool in this period. From 2021 the same pattern repeats at far larger size. A $200M ATM (claim 14651) was followed by $747.5M of 1.00% convertibles due 2026 (claim 14279), a further ATM draw of $161.0M (claim 13818), and first-quarter 2024 ATM sales of $489.3M (claim 6207). The late-2024 convertibles, $1B completed with $980M net (claims 5398, 5399) and $850M completed with $835M net (claims 5307, 5308), extend the approach of pairing equity issuance with long-dated, low-coupon debt. The layer of bank debt is where the plan was revised. The Silvergate revolver and term loan (claims 14440, 13836), which carried a $350M adjusted net worth covenant (claim 13839), were terminated in March 2023 with notice and prepayment waivers (claims 13180, 13181, 13182). A $200M credit line later took their place (claim 5574). Recorded deployment is thin. The $67M bridge loan and $14M expedite fees paid to Compute North (claims 14282, 14283) appear next in the record as an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim 12985), and that outcome requires explanation. The Abu Dhabi contribution of $81.2M equals 20% of the $406M project figure (claims 12974, 13085), which is internally consistent. The 2024 proceeds were earmarked for repurchasing 2026 notes and buying bitcoin (claims 5400, 5401, 5311), but the only completed repurchase on record is $50M (claim 5349), and the record contains no bitcoin purchases. The Series A preferred placement is still marked delayed (claim 12532). No insider sales appear, so that dimension cannot be assessed. The record stops in December 2024. A reader should watch how the remaining 2026 notes, which mature December 1, 2026 (claim 14387), are retired, and whether the stated bitcoin acquisitions are disclosed. The holder put dates on the 2024 notes (claim 5405) also matter, since a falling share price would push the company back toward ATM issuance.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-24Marathon's financing record shows three distinct phases, and the scale of dilution changes sharply between them. From 2018 through mid-2020 the company raised small amounts. The shelf and ATM capacity sat near $7.47M (claims #15228, #15203, #14915). Equity went directly to vendors for mining equipment and facility services (claims #15066, #14796, #14733). A convertible note was amended to lower its conversion price (claim #14913). This looks like opportunistic patching by a company with limited market access. The $100M S-3 in August 2020 (claim #14874) and the $200M ATM in 2021 (claim #14651) marked the move to institutional-scale funding. The $650M convertible (claim #14387) and its $97.5M option (claim #14369), $747.5M in total per claim #14279, confirmed it.
The 2021–2023 mix leaned on bank debt beside the convertibles. The Silvergate revolver and later term loan came with a $350M minimum adjusted net worth covenant (claims #14440, #13836, #13839). The company drew $35M against them (claim #13817), and ATM issuance reached $161M (claim #13818). Silvergate waived covenants when the convertibles were issued (claim #14309). The facilities were terminated in March 2023, with the prepayment and notice terms waived (claims #13180, #13181, #13182). Deployment in this period did not always track intent. The $67M bridge loan and $14M expedite fees to Compute North (claims #14282, #14283) were later followed by a bankruptcy unsecured claim (claim #12985). That claim's recorded amount appears unit-inconsistent and requires explanation. The same is true of the Abu Dhabi contribution figures (claims #13085, #12953). A $9.0M reverse termination fee (claim #6404) points to a transaction that was not completed.
The 2024 phase is more coherent. Q1 ATM issuance of $489.3M (claim #6207) and a $200M credit line (claim #5574) came first. Two convertible offerings followed, the $1B deal (claim #5398) and the $850M deal (claim #9275). Their stated use of proceeds shifted from infrastructure to buying bitcoin (claims #5401, #5311) and partially refinancing the 2026 notes. The disclosed figures for that refinancing vary within a few weeks: planned repurchases are $199 and $212 (claims #5425, #5400), and $48, $50M and $51 (claims #5345, #5349, #5310). Claim #5348 also records the offering as $700M rather than $850M, which requires reconciliation.
The record contains no insider sales. It shows only equity-plan expansions and RSU grants (claims #14758, #14555, #6539, #13964). The data ends in December 2024. A careful reader should watch the remaining 2026 notes due December 1, 2026 (claim #14387). They should also watch the holder put and redemption dates on the new notes (claims #5404, #5405), the $26 conversion reference (claim #5402), and whether ATM usage resumes to service or settle that stack.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-23Marathon's financing record describes a company that moved from micro-cap equity patching to large, recurring convertible issuance. The early years are small and reactive. There is an at-the-market program sized at roughly $7.47M (claims #15203 and #15228), a 2,335,000-share private placement (claim #15151), and a convertible note amendment that lowered the conversion price (claim #14913). These are the tools of a company funding month to month. The inflection is 2021. A $200M ATM (claim #14651) was followed by $650M of 1.00% convertible notes due 2026 (claim #14387) and a $97.5M option exercise (claim #14369), for $747.5M in total (claim #14279). One dating issue requires explanation: claim #14296 describes the $200M ATM as completed in January 2021, while the agreement itself is dated May 2021 in claim #14651.
The debt layer looks less coherent than the equity layer. The Silvergate revolver of $100M (claim #14440) needed a covenant waiver to accommodate the convertibles (claim #14399). It was expanded with a $100M term loan (claim #13836) and then terminated early, with prepayment and notice waivers, in March 2023 (claims #13180 and #13181). Deployment also diverged from intent. A $67M bridge loan and $14M in expedite fees to Compute North (claims #14282 and #14283) are later followed by an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim #12985). The Abu Dhabi joint venture contribution appears as both $81.2M (claim #12974) and $406M (claim #13085), a discrepancy that requires explanation. The Series A preferred placement of $14.25M is marked delayed (claim #12486) and is not discussed afterward.
From 2024 the pattern becomes consistent. A $489.3M Q1 ATM (claim #6207) was followed by a $1B convertible with about $980M net (claims #5398 and #5399) and an $850M convertible with about $835M net (claims #5307 and #5308). Both carried stated uses of repurchasing 2026 notes and buying bitcoin (claims #5400, #5401 and #5311). The record states these plans but does not show actual deployment, so whether the proceeds were used as announced cannot be confirmed. The record contains no insider sales. Insider activity is limited to RSU grants (claims #13964 and #13965) and successive plan increases (claims #14758, #14555 and #6539).
A careful reader should look for three things next. The first is the residual balance of the December 2026 notes (claim #14387) after the disclosed repurchases, since maturity is close. The second is the size and conversion terms of any further convertible issuance, given the $26 conversion price on the 2024 notes (claim #5402). The third is whether any ATM activity since 2024 has been disclosed. The record ends in December 2024, so this read does not cover 2025 or 2026.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-22The trajectory here is one of scale change rather than gradual drift. For roughly three years the company financed itself at shell proportions — a $7,472,417 shelf that recurs verbatim across three separate 2019 filings (claims 15228, 15217, 15203), a $2,335,000 all-stock placement against only 8,720,405 shares then outstanding (claims 15151, 15152). The inflection is 2020-2021: a $100,000,000 S-3 (claim 14874), a $200,000,000 ATM (claim 14651), a $100,000,000 Silvergate revolver (claim 14440), then $747,500,000 of 1.00% converts due 2026 stacked in nine days (claims 14387, 14369, 14279). Within about eighteen months the financing unit moves three orders of magnitude.
The mix reads as coherent within each regime but the regimes differ. Phase one is equipment-linked: the $23,159,174 Antminer purchase (claim 14843) and $14,000,000 Phase I build (claim 14793) map plausibly onto the equity raised alongside them, including share-settled construction milestones (claims 14796-14799). Phase two is treasury-linked and says so — proceeds from the $1,000,000,000 November 2024 offering and the $850,000,000 December follow-on are explicitly earmarked for bitcoin (claims 5401, 5311). That is a stated strategy, not patching.
Where announced use and deployment diverge is the 2026 refinancing. The company described repurchasing $199,000,000 and then $212,000,000 of existing 2026 notes (claims 5425, 5400), and $48,000,000 in the December pricing (claim 5345); the executed figures on record are $50,000,000 and roughly $51,000,000 (claims 5349, 5310). The gap between the larger stated intention and the smaller completed repurchase requires explanation. Separately, the $67,000,000 Compute North bridge (claims 14593, 14282) resolves into an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim 12985), and the $81,200,000 / $406,000,000 Abu Dhabi contributions (claims 12974, 13085) are carried as delayed and are not revisited.
A reader should watch three things: whether the remaining 2026 principal is retired before the holder repurchase and redemption dates (claims 5405, 5404); whether the three $150,000,000 greenshoes (claims 5423, 5343, 5309), all recorded as delayed, are ever exercised; and whether the $489,300,000 of Q1 2024 ATM issuance (claim 6207) continues alongside convertible issuance, since running both simultaneously is the clearest signal of how binding the capital need is. No insider sales appear on this record — only RSU grants (claims 13964, 13965), both delayed. Several entries carry inconsistent units, so magnitudes should be confirmed against source filings.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-21The trajectory describes two distinct companies. Through 2019 and 2020 the financing footprint was measured in single-digit millions — an ATM sized at $7,472,417 (claim #15203), a private placement leaving 8,720,405 shares outstanding (claim #15152), an H.C. Wainwright ATM at $79,817 (claim #15061) — and equity functioned as transactional currency rather than capital: $3,000,000 issued for operations and maintenance with milestone bonuses of $150,000, $150,000 and $200,000 (claims #14796, #14797, #14798, #14799), alongside a convertible note repriced downward (claim #14913). That is opportunistic patching, not a program.
The pivot is 2021. The $200M ATM (claim #14651), the $100M Silvergate revolver (claim #14440), and the $747.5M convertible stack — $650M plus the $97.5M option (claims #14387, #14369) — arrived within seven months and constitute deliberate layering: low-coupon converts for the balance sheet, a bank line for working capital, an ATM for the gaps. The stated deployment tracked initially, with $67M bridged to Compute North plus $14M in expedite fees (claims #14593, #14594). The outcome did not: that position resolves as a bankruptcy unsecured claim (claim #12985), and the bank channel closed entirely when Silvergate's facilities were terminated under fee and notice waivers (claims #13180, #13181, #13182).
What follows reads as a coherent second strategy. The Q1 2024 ATM alone printed $489,300,000 (claim #6207), and the November and December convertible offerings — $1B completed at $980M net (claims #5398, #5399) and $850M at $835M net (claims #5307, #5308) — were explicitly dual-purpose: retire the 2026 notes (claims #5400, #5310) and acquire bitcoin (claims #5401, #5311). Announced use and disclosed use align there.
Three items require explanation. The Abu Dhabi contribution appears as both $406,000 and $406,000,000 (claims #12953, #13085) and is not discussed in later filings. The $14.25M Series A preferred at a $15 conversion price (claims #12486, #12487) is anomalous against surrounding scale. Successive incentive-plan reserve increases (claims #15460, #14758, #14555) form a persistent low-grade dilution channel.
The record contains no insider transactions, so no read on selling behavior is possible, and it ends in December 2024. Watch the residual 2026 balance after repurchases, whether the $150M greenshoes were exercised (claims #5309, #5343), and whether ATM issuance resumes between convertible windows — that cadence, more than any single raise, sets the dilution slope.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-20The shape here is a small-cap that repeatedly re-based its own scale rather than growing into it. The 2019 apparatus — a $7.47M shelf and ATM (claims 15228 and 15203) and a $2.3M all-stock placement that left 8,720,405 shares outstanding (claims 15151 and 15152) — sits roughly three orders of magnitude below the 2024 apparatus, in which a single quarter of ATM issuance reached $489.3M (claim 6207) and two convertible offerings priced within five weeks of each other raised $1B and $850M (claims 5398 and 5307). Dilution did not accrete gradually; it stepped, and each step is legible against a bitcoin price regime rather than against an operating plan.
The instrument mix reads as sequenced rather than improvised. The ATM is the constant from 2019 through 2024, scaling from $7.47M to $200M (claim 14651) as the float supported it. Equity-for-services and equity-for-equipment appear precisely in the capital-constrained window — the $3M operations issuance and $750,000 Beowulf equipment purchase (claims 14796 and 14795), the pending $1.85M equipment share issuance (claim 15066, delayed). Secured bank debt arrives only once there was collateral to pledge (the $100M Silvergate revolver, claim 14440, and matching term loan, claim 13836), and converts arrive once the equity was liquid enough to price them (claims 14387 and 14369). The genuine discontinuity is the March 2023 Silvergate termination (claims 13180 and 13194), which removed the secured leg entirely; the $14.25M Series A preferred two months later (claims 12486 and 12532, both delayed) is too small relative to the balance sheet to be anything but gap-filling, and bank capacity was not restored until the $200M line in October 2024 (claim 5574).
Stated use of proceeds tracks actual deployment reasonably well, with one visible pivot: the 2021 vintage funded machines and hosting, while the 2024 vintage is explicitly bitcoin acquisition plus refinancing of the 2026 notes (claims 5401, 5311, 5400, 5310). Two items require explanation. The $67M Compute North bridge and $14M expedite fees (claims 14282 and 14283) resolve into a $40,000 unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim 12985) — that magnitude gap is unreconciled on this record. The Abu Dhabi structure, a $406M project with $81.2M attributed contribution (claims 13085 and 12974), carries a delayed flag (claim 13066) and is not discussed afterward.
Watch three things: the residual 2026 maturity after repurchases tranched at roughly $212M, $50M and $51M (claims 5400, 5349, 5310); whether share count stabilizes now that converts rather than the ATM carry the load, given the $26 conversion reference (claim 5402); and the record itself, which stops in December 2024 and leaves roughly twenty-one months unobserved.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-20The trajectory reads as three regimes rather than one policy. Through 2019 and mid-2020 the company financed itself in increments that would not cover a single month of later spending — a $7,472,417 shelf and matching ATM capacity, per claims #15228 and #15203, a $2,335,000 all-stock private placement, per claim #15151, and an ATM agreement whose early utility was measured at $79,817, per claim #15061 — alongside a habit of paying for hardware and services in shares rather than cash, visible in the October 2020 Beowulf arrangements (claims #14795 through #14799) and the 3,000,000-share facility-services issuance, per claim #14733. That is opportunistic patching, and it is not a criticism; there was no balance sheet to leverage. The incentive-plan reserve was enlarged in step, from $10,000,000 at inception (claim #15460) through increases in 2020, 2021 and 2023 (claims #14758, #14555, #6539).
The second regime, 2020 through 2022, shows genuine sequencing: a $100,000,000 shelf (claim #14874), a $200,000,000 ATM (claim #14651), secured bank capacity at Silvergate (claim #14440), then $747,500,000 of 1.00% convertibles (claims #14387, #14369). Equity first, cheap converts once equity had run — a conventional ladder. Deployment is where coherence thins. The $67,000,000 bridge loan and $14,000,000 of expedite fees to Compute North (claims #14593, #14594) resolve on this record into a bankruptcy claim recorded at $40,000, per claim #12985, a gap that requires explanation rather than inference. The Abu Dhabi commitment — $406,000,000 at project level, $81,200,000 at the company's share, per claims #13085 and #12974 — carries a delayed marker on claim #13066 and is not discussed thereafter.
The third regime, 2024, is the treasury-company template: $489,300,000 of ATM issuance in one quarter (claim #6207), then $1,000,000,000 and $850,000,000 of converts within three weeks (claims #5398, #5307), with proceeds designated for bitcoin and partial retirement of the 2026 notes (claims #5401, #5400, #5310, #5349). Announced and actual use appear to track here, but the retirements were partial against $747,500,000 outstanding, so gross leverage rose.
Watch the residual 2026 maturity (claim #14387) against the $26 conversion reference on the newer notes (claim #5402), whether ATM cadence resumes at 2024 scale, and whether Abu Dhabi contributions are reaffirmed. This record ends in December 2024. No insider sales appear — only RSU grants (claims #13964, #13965) — so that axis is unreadable from the data.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-20The trajectory here is one of scale change rather than acceleration in kind. From 2019 through mid-2020 the company financed itself in increments that would not cover a week of later operations: an ATM sized at $7,472,417 (claim 15203), a private placement of $2,335,000 against 8,720,405 shares then outstanding (claims 15151, 15152), a convertible note repriced downward at $999,106 (claim 14913). The $100 million shelf of August 2020 (claim 14874) is the hinge; by May 2021 the ATM capacity is $200 million (claim 14651), and by November 2021 the company places $650 million of 1.00% converts due 2026 with a $97.5 million greenshoe exercised days later (claims 14387, 14369). The 2024 sequence is the same instrument at another order of magnitude: $489.3 million drawn through the ATM in Q1 alone (claim 6207), then $1 billion of converts in November (claim 5398) and $850 million more within two weeks (claim 5307).
The mix is coherent in structure and opportunistic in timing. Equity is raised continuously through the ATM; debt appears when a lender will underwrite bitcoin collateral, as with the Silvergate revolver (claim 14440) and term loan (claim 13836), of which only $35 million was drawn (claim 13817) before the facilities were terminated in March 2023 with the 0.50% prepayment charge waived (claims 13180, 13181). Convertibles are used to refinance convertibles — $212 million of 2026 notes repurchased from the November proceeds (claim 5400), $51 million more from the December tranche (claim 5310).
Use of proceeds has migrated, and the migration is the most analytically significant fact on the record. Early raises attach to identifiable assets: Antminers at $23,159,174 (claim 14843), Phase I construction at $14,000,000 (claim 14793), a $67 million bridge loan to Compute North (claim 14282) that resolves into a $40,000 unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim 12985). The Abu Dhabi commitment of $406,000,000 (claim 13085) is carried with one contribution entry marked delayed (claim 13066) and is not revisited in later filings on this record. By late 2024 the stated purpose is bitcoin acquisition itself (claims 5401, 5311).
Insider activity is effectively absent here — two RSU grants, both delayed (claims 13964, 13965), and no sales — so no read is available on that dimension. Watch whether the 2026 maturity is retired in full or rolled again, and whether the Abu Dhabi contributions resume disclosure.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-19Marathon's record shows a sharp change in scale. Through 2019 and 2020 the company raised capital in single-digit millions: a shelf and ATM sized at roughly $7.5M (claims #15228, #15203), an all-stock private placement of 2,335,000 shares (claim #15151), and about $7.1M sold through the ATM in the first half of 2020 (claim #14849). The $100M S-3 in August 2020 (claim #14874) and the $200M ATM in 2021 (claim #14651) moved the company to a different order of magnitude. By Q1 2024 a single quarter's ATM activity reached $489.3M (claim #6207), which places dilution in the ongoing, programmatic category rather than the episodic one. The mix changed in phases rather than by improvisation. Equity came first. The $650M 2026 convertible and its $97.5M option (claims #14387, #14369) then added debt that could convert. Bank debt through Silvergate (claims #14440, #13836) followed and was terminated in March 2023 with fees waived (claims #13180, #13195). Late-2024 convertibles, recorded in millions, of $1,000 (claim #5398) and $850 (claim #5307) were used in part to repurchase 2026 notes, with $212 and $51 cited (claims #5400, #5310). This reads as a deliberate extension of maturities using convertibles, with the ATM carrying most of the equity load. The 2023 Series A preferred placement of $14.25M (claim #12486) is the one instrument that does not fit the pattern and remains unexplained in the record. On use of proceeds, the record documents stated intentions more fully than their results. The Compute North bridge loan of $67M and expedite fees of $14M (claims #14282, #14283) were later followed by a Compute North bankruptcy and an unsecured claim (claim #12985). That sequence requires explanation of how much was recovered. The Abu Dhabi figures also require reconciliation, since the record shows an $81.2M contribution (claim #12974) alongside a $406M project figure (claim #13085). The late-2024 offerings name bitcoin purchases as a use of proceeds (claims #5401, #5311), but the record contains no confirmation of what was actually deployed. The insider record is limited to RSU grants (claims #13964, #13965), and no insider sales are recorded, so no conclusion about insider selling can be drawn. The record supplied ends mid-entry in December 2024. Readers should watch for the remaining 2026 note balance, the holder repurchase and redemption dates on the new notes (claims #5405, #5404), and whether ATM issuance continues at the 2024 pace.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-19The record traces a company that moved from micro-cap patching to large-scale balance-sheet engineering, and the dilution cadence changes character along the way. Through 2020 the financings were small and reactive: an ATM sized at roughly $7.5M (claims #15203, #14915), a 2,335,000-share private placement against 8,720,405 shares outstanding (claims #15151, #15152), and a convertible note whose conversion price was cut by amendment (claim #14913). Equity was also used as currency for equipment and hosting services (claims #14843, #14796, #14733). The August 2020 $100M S-3 (claim #14874) marks the shift. After it, capital arrived in step-changes: a $200M ATM (claim #14651), a $100M Silvergate revolver (claim #14440), and $747.5M of 1.00% convertibles due 2026 (claims #14387, #14369, #14279), followed by $161.0M of ATM issuance by mid-2022 (claim #13818) and $489.3M in Q1 2024 alone (claim #6207).
The mix reads as increasingly deliberate rather than opportunistic. Bank debt was layered on in 2021-2022, with the revolver joined by a $100M term loan and a $35M draw (claims #13836, #13817). It was then unwound in March 2023 with fee and notice waivers (claims #13180, #13195, #13196). Since then, funding has rested on ATM equity and convertibles, with a $200M credit line added in October 2024 (claim #5574).
Use of proceeds tracks only partially. The $67M bridge loan and $14M expedite fees to Compute North (claims #14282, #14283) ended as an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim #12985), and that recovery is not otherwise discussed. The Abu Dhabi joint venture appears as both $81.2M and $406M contributions (claims #12974, #13085), which requires explanation. The late-2024 convertibles, $1B and $850M (claims #5398, #5307), named 2026-note repurchases of $212M and $51M (claims #5400, #5310) plus bitcoin purchases (claims #5401, #5311). Only $50M of repurchase execution appears on record (claim #5349), and the planned figures were revised between announcement and closing (claims #5425, #5345).
The record has limits. It ends mid-entry in December 2024, discloses no insider transactions, and mixes units across claims. Readers should watch how the residual 2026 notes are settled at their December 2026 maturity (claim #14387), how close the share price sits to the roughly $26 conversion level on the new notes (claim #5402), and when the holder put dates fall (claim #5405). They should also watch whether ATM issuance continues at the 2024 pace.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-18The record traces a shift from micro-cap equity patching to large-scale convertible financing. Early activity was small and frequent. It included a shelf and ATM sized at about $7.47M (claims #15228, #15203), a 2,335,000-share private placement that left 8,720,405 shares outstanding (claims #15151, #15152), and a convertible note amendment that lowered the conversion price (claim #14913), which requires explanation. Equity was also used as payment for operations and facility services (claims #14796, #14733). The 2018 plan reserve was raised repeatedly (claims #14758, #14555, #6539), so compensation dilution ran alongside financing dilution. The trajectory then steepens. A $200M ATM (claim #14651) was followed by $747.5M of 1.00% 2026 convertibles, including the exercised $97.5M option (claims #14279, #14369), and later a $489.3M ATM in Q1 2024 alone (claim #6207).
The mix points to a repeated pattern rather than a single plan. ATMs fund ongoing needs, and convertibles are used when market access allows. Bank debt did not last. The Silvergate revolver and $100M term loan, with a $350M minimum net worth covenant (claims #13836, #13839), were terminated in March 2023 with prepayment and notice waivers (claims #13194, #13181, #13182). It was replaced by a $200M line of credit in October 2024 (claim #5574). The $67M bridge loan and $14M expedite fees to Compute North (claims #14282, #14283) ended in a bankruptcy unsecured claim (claim #12985), and that deployment is no longer discussed in the record.
Use of proceeds tracks only loosely. The stated repurchase of 2026 notes was revised between announcement and close. It moved from $199M to $212M on the $1B deal (claims #5425, #5400) and from $48M to $51M on the $850M deal (claims #5345, #5310). One claim sizes the December offering at $700M (claim #5348) against $850M elsewhere (claims #5307, #9275), which requires explanation. Bitcoin purchases are stated as the intended use (claims #5401, #5311), but the record does not document actual deployment. The Series A preferred placement (claim #12532) and several ATM agreements carry a delayed status.
A careful reader should watch four things. The first is how much of the 2026 convertibles remains after the partial repurchases. The second is the holder put and redemption dates on the 2024 notes (claims #5404, #5405), which are referenced but not dated here. The third is whether the $150M greenshoe (claim #5309) was exercised. The fourth is whether ATM issuance continues at the 2024 pace. The supplied record contains no insider transactions and is truncated after December 2024, so later events cannot be assessed.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-15Marathon's record shows three distinct financing regimes, each much larger than the one before. Through 2020 the company raised capital in small increments: at-the-market capacity of roughly $7.5M (claims #15203 and #14915), an all-stock private placement of 2,335,000 shares that left 8,720,405 shares outstanding (claims #15151 and #15152), and a convertible note repriced lower (claim #14913). The August 2020 $100M S-3 (claim #14874) and the $200M ATM (claim #14651) mark the shift to a second regime, which culminated in the $650M 1.00% convertible due 2026 plus its $97.5M option (claims #14387 and #14369). In the third regime, equity sales became the main funding source rather than a supplement: $161M through the ATM by mid-2022 (claim #13818) and $489.3M in Q1 2024 alone (claim #6207). That steady ATM usage probably explains more of the dilution than the headline convertibles do.
The mix looks more deliberate after 2021 than before it. Early activity reads as patching, with small ATMs, repriced notes and equity paid to vendors (claim #14796). The 2021–2022 layering of a Silvergate revolver and term loan (claims #14440 and #13836) on top of the convertibles was coherent until the Silvergate facilities were terminated in March 2023 (claim #13180). That termination forced a return to equity and, later, a $200M line of credit (claim #5574). The late-2024 convertibles, $1B completed (claim #5398) and $850M completed (claim #5307), were partly structured to retire the 2026 notes. They therefore extend the maturity profile more than they change the strategy.
The record does not settle whether proceeds went where they were said to go. The $67M bridge loan and $14M in expedite fees to Compute North (claims #14282 and #14283) are later followed by an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim #12985), and that sequence requires explanation. The planned 2026-note repurchases are revised across filings: $199M then $212M (claims #5425 and #5400), and $48M, $50M and $51M on the second offering (claims #5345, #5349 and #5310). Claim #5348 records a $700M offering that is not reconciled with the $850M figure. The stated plan to buy bitcoin (claims #5401 and #5311) has no deployment claim on record. The record contains RSU grants (claims #13964 and #13965) but no insider sales.
A careful reader should watch for four things. The first is how much of the $747.5M 2026 tranche (claim #14279) remains outstanding after the repurchases. The second is the holder put date on the 2024 notes (claim #5405). The third is whether ATM issuance resumes at the 2024 pace. The fourth is any disclosure confirming the bitcoin purchases. The supplied record is truncated at claim #5254, so later events are not reflected here.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-15The record traces three distinct capital regimes, and the transitions between them say more than any single raise. Through 2020 the company funded itself in small increments: a roughly $7.5M shelf and ATM capacity (claims #15228, #15203, #14915), shares issued for mining equipment (claim #15066), a stockholder vote to exceed the 19.99% issuance threshold (claim #15048), and a cut to a convertible note's conversion price (claim #14913). That pattern is closer to patching than to strategy. Dilution then scaled sharply. There was a $100M S-3 (claim #14874), a $200M ATM (claim #14651), and repeated increases to the equity incentive plan reserve (claims #14758, #14555).
Late 2021 marks a deliberate turn toward the balance sheet. The $650M convertible (claim #14387), with its $97.5M option exercised (claim #14369), sat alongside a $100M Silvergate revolver (claim #14440) that was later extended into a term loan carrying a $350M net-worth covenant (claim #13839). That bank relationship was terminated in March 2023, with prepayment and notice waivers (claims #13180, #13181, #13182). Equity never stopped, however. It ran from $161M of ATM issuance (claim #13818) to $489.3M in Q1 2024 alone (claim #6207). By 2024 the company was pairing ATM supply with the $1B convertible (claim #5398) and the $850M convertible (claim #5307), which reads as a coherent, if aggressive, reliance on both instruments at once.
Use of proceeds is where the record requires the most explanation. The $67M bridge loan and $14M expedite fees to Compute North (claims #14282, #14283) were later followed by an unsecured claim in that counterparty's bankruptcy (claim #12985). Abu Dhabi capital contributions appear as both $81.2M and $406M (claims #12974, #13085), likely reflecting different scopes. The 2024 notes named two uses, repurchasing 2026 notes ($212M and $51M, per claims #5400 and #5310) and buying bitcoin (claims #5401, #5311). The record does not show whether either was executed.
The data itself has limits. It ends mid-December 2024, it contains no insider transactions, and it mixes units, for example $650 versus $650,000,000 for the same notes. Several events tagged delayed appear from later claims to have closed. A reader should watch several things next: how much of the 2026 notes remains outstanding, the holder repurchase and redemption dates on the 2024 notes (claims #5404, #5405), whether ATM issuance continued at the 2024 pace, and whether disclosed bitcoin holdings reconcile with the stated deployment.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-14Marathon's financing record falls into three phases. Each is larger than the last, and the instruments change as the company grows. Through 2019 and 2020 the company funded itself as a micro-cap. It used a $7,472,417 at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright (claims #15203, #14915), a 2,335,000-share private placement (claim #15151), stockholder approval to issue above the 19.99% threshold (claim #15048), and a convertible note amended to a lower conversion price (claim #14913). It also paid in stock for mining equipment and facility services (claims #15066, #14796, #14733). That was dilution through many small issuances rather than a planned program. The $100M S-3 (claim #14874) and the $200M ATM (claim #14651) marked the move to scale. The $650M 1.00% convertible and its $97.5M option (claims #14387, #14369) then made convertible debt the main source of capital. The Silvergate revolver and term loan (claims #14440, #13836) needed a covenant waiver to fit alongside the notes (claim #14309). Both were terminated in March 2023, with the prepayment charge waived (claims #13180, #13181), so bank debt was a short-lived part of the structure. Deployment in that period requires explanation. The $67M bridge loan and $14M expedite fees to Compute North (claims #14282, #14283) are followed by an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim #12985). The Abu Dhabi joint-venture contribution appears as both $81.2M, marked delayed (claim #13066), and $406M (claim #13085), and the record does not reconcile the two. A $14.25M Series A preferred placement is also marked delayed (claim #12532), and a $9,012,500 reverse termination fee (claim #6404) has no stated context. The 2024 phase is more coherent. The $489.3M Q1 ATM (claim #6207) and a $200M credit line (claim #5574) came first. Two convertibles followed: $1B with $980M net (claims #5398, #5399) and $850M with $835M net (claims #5307, #5308). In both, announced repurchases of the 2026 notes ($212M and $51M, per claims #5400 and #5310) are small next to the stated plan to buy bitcoin (claims #5401, #5311). Stated use of proceeds has therefore shifted from hosting and equipment to balance-sheet bitcoin. The record shows RSU grants and plan increases (claims #13964, #14758, #14555) but no insider sales. It ends in December 2024 and contains nothing for 2025 or 2026. Readers should watch for disclosure of whether the $150M greenshoe was exercised (claim #5309), for how the remaining 2026 notes are handled, and for how the $26 conversion price (claim #5402) compares with trading levels ahead of the holder repurchase date (claim #5405).
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-14Marathon's financing record shows a clear change in scale more than a change in method. The 2019–2020 period relied on small H.C. Wainwright at-the-market programs, such as the $7.5M agreement (claim 14848) and the $6.9M underwritten deal (claim 14850). It also paid for equipment and facility services in shares, including the $23.2M Antminer purchase (claim 14843) and the $3M operations issuance (claim 14796). From 2021 the same tools grew by orders of magnitude. The ATM went from $200M capacity (claim 14651) to $489.3M raised in a single quarter of 2024 (claim 6207). Convertible debt went from the $650M 1.00% notes due 2026 (claim 14387) to the $1B November 2024 offering (claim 5398) and the $850M December 2024 offering (claim 5307). Repeated increases to the 2018 plan's share reserve (claims 14758, 14555, 6539, 5026) add a steady compensation layer to that dilution.
The mix looks less like patching than like a funding approach that has been revised several times. Bank credit was tried and dropped. The $100M Silvergate revolver (claim 14440) and term loan (claim 13836) were terminated in March 2023, with prepayment and notice waivers (claims 13180, 13181, 13182). A $200M line of credit reappeared in late 2024 (claim 5574). Since then, convertibles have been the main instrument, with some proceeds used to retire earlier convertibles.
The stated use of proceeds needs closer checking. The late-2024 offerings named bitcoin purchases and repurchases of the 2026 notes (claims 5401, 5311). The repurchase amounts changed between announcement and closing: $199M became $212M (claims 5425, 5400), and $48M became $51M (claims 5345, 5310). The later treasury disclosure (claim 5023) fits bitcoin accumulation but does not tie specific dollars to specific purchases. Earlier deployments did not go as described. The $67M Compute North bridge loan (claim 14282) ended as an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim 12985). The Abu Dhabi joint venture contribution (claim 13066) and the $14.25M Series A preferred placement (claim 12486) are both marked delayed.
The most immediate item to watch is the December 2026 maturity of the original 1.00% notes. The record shows partial repurchases (claims 5349, 4677) but no complete figure for what remains outstanding. Readers should also watch whether the 2025 convertible offering (claim 4675) repeats the pattern of refinancing plus bitcoin purchases, and how the roughly $26 conversion terms on the 2024 notes (claim 5402) compare with the share price. The data provided includes no insider transactions and ends partway through the July 2025 entries, so no conclusions about insider behavior or later capital events can be drawn from it. Several figures are also recorded in inconsistent units across duplicate claims and should be read with that in mind.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-14Marathon's financing record falls into three phases. In 2020 and early 2021 the company was a micro-cap relying on small equity raises. It used a $7.5M at-the-market facility (claim #14848), a $6.9M underwritten offering with H.C. Wainwright (claim #14850) and a reduced conversion price on a legacy note (claim #14913). It also paid vendors in stock, including the $3M equity issuance for facility services (claim #14733). The second phase added leverage on top of equity: a $200M ATM (claim #14651), a $100M Silvergate revolver (claim #14440) and $747.5M of 1.00% 2026 convertibles (claim #14279). By the Silvergate term loan, the lender required a $350M adjusted net worth covenant (claim #13839). That bank structure ended in March 2023, when Silvergate waived its notice period and prepayment charge (claims #13180, #13181). The third phase, from 2024 onward, relies on convertibles, preceded by a $489.3M ATM draw in a single quarter (claim #6207). The company completed a $1B offering in November 2024 (claim #5398), $850M in December (claim #5307) and another $850M in July 2025 (claim #4675), the last with $36.9M of capped calls (claim #4673). Share reserve increases under the 2018 plan recur across the period (claims #14758, #14555, #6539, #5026), which adds a steady layer of dilution beneath the headline raises. Taken as a whole, the mix looks less like patching than a deliberate move from issuing equity to deferring it through convertibles, with bitcoin named as the intended use (claims #5401, #5311). Earlier stated uses of proceeds held up less well. The $67M bridge loan to Compute North (claim #14282) later appears only as an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim #12985). Abu Dhabi joint venture contributions of $81.2M are marked delayed (claim #13066). The Series A preferred placement is also marked delayed (claim #12486). Repurchases of the 2026 notes also call for reconciliation. The planned amount was revised from $199M (claim #5425) to $212M (claim #5400), and December figures of $48M, $50M and $51M appear across claims #5345, #5349 and #5310. In July 2025 a planned $50M repurchase (claim #4677) is followed by a reported $19M (claim #4672). No open-market insider transactions appear in the record beyond RSU grants (claims #13964, #13965), and the record is truncated at claim #4671. Readers should watch whether the recent notes settle in shares or cash, whether the Abu Dhabi commitment is completed or restructured, and whether reported repurchase and bitcoin purchase amounts match what was announced.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-14Marathon's financing record falls into three phases. Each is internally coherent, but the phases do not add up to a single durable strategy. From 2021 through 2022 the company layered bank credit onto its first large convertible: the Silvergate revolver of $100,000,000 (claim #14440), later joined by a $100,000,000 term loan (claim #13836), alongside $747,500,000 of 1.00% notes due 2026 (claim #14279). That bank relationship ended in March 2023 through waivers of notice and prepayment terms (claims #13180 and #13181), not through scheduled maturity. The $67,000,000 bridge loan to Compute North (claim #14282) later appears only as an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim #12985), and its recovery is not discussed further in the record. The Abu Dhabi contribution of $81,200,000 is marked delayed (claim #13066), and a parallel figure of $406,000,000 (claim #13085) is recorded inconsistently elsewhere (claim #12953), which requires explanation. Equity dilution was steady rather than episodic, running through at-the-market sales of $161,042,274 (claim #13818), $489,300,000 in a single quarter of 2024 (claim #6207), and repeated incentive-plan reserve increases (claims #14555, #6539, #5026). The 2024 to 2025 phase leaned heavily on converts: $1,000 million (claim #5398), $850 million (claim #5307), and $950 million (claim #4660). The recorded conversion price fell from $26 (claim #5402) to $20 (claim #4667), which implies more shares per dollar of potential conversion. On use of proceeds, the stated bitcoin purchases (claims #5401 and #5311) are broadly consistent with the treasury figure recorded as 44,893 (claim #5023). The 2026 repurchases track less closely. Planned buybacks of the 2026 notes shrank from $212 million (claim #5400) to $51 million (claim #5310) to $19 million (claim #4672), against $50 million announced (claim #4677). The 2026 record then reverses direction: bitcoin sales (claim #9092), roughly $1.0 billion of convertible repurchases (claim #9265), a $785 million bridge-financed acquisition (claims #1871 and #928), an AI-oriented restructuring (claim #2952), new bitcoin-backed debt of $600 million (claim #11583), and a Q2 2026 net loss of $610 million (claim #613). The insider data contains only RSU grants (claims #13964 and #13965), so no conclusion on insider selling is possible, and the record supplied is truncated. A careful reader should watch four things: how the Barclays bridge is refinanced, the conflicting pledged-collateral figures (claims #11143 and #11575), whether further bitcoin is sold to service debt, and whether the AI pivot is funded by equity or by more convertibles.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-14Marathon's financing record falls into three phases, and each one changes the character of the balance sheet. The first, in 2021 and 2022, combined bank credit with a single large convertible: the Silvergate revolver (claim 14440) and the $650 million 2026 notes plus a $97.5 million option exercise (claims 14387, 14369). Equity drawn through the at-the-market program, $161 million per claim 13818, patched gaps as the Compute North exposure developed; that exposure included the $67 million bridge loan (claim 14282) and later an unsecured bankruptcy claim (claim 12985). The Silvergate facilities were terminated in March 2023 with fee and notice waivers (claims 13180, 13181). Smaller commitments from that period, the Abu Dhabi contributions (claim 13066) and the Series A preferred placement (claim 12532), are marked delayed.
The second phase, from 2024 through mid-2025, looks like a deliberate strategy rather than patching. A $489.3 million ATM quarter (claim 6207) was followed by three convertibles: $1 billion (claim 5398), $850 million (claim 5307) and $950 million (claim 4660). The stated conversion price fell from roughly $26 (claim 5402) to $20 (claim 4667), which implies more shares per dollar raised. The plan share-reserve increases (claims 6539, 5026) add to that dilution. The disclosures for these deals are also internally inconsistent in ways that require explanation. One claim puts the December offering at $700 million (claim 5348) against $850 million elsewhere, and the July 2025 repurchase of 2026 notes appears as both $50 million (claim 4677) and $19 million (claim 4672).
The third phase, in 2026, shows actual deployment diverging from the announced uses of proceeds. The 2024-25 raises cited bitcoin accumulation (claims 5401, 5311). Yet 2026 brings bitcoin sales (claims 2156, 9092), roughly $1 billion of 2030 and 2031 note repurchases (claims 2154, 2155, 9265), and bitcoin pledged as collateral (claims 11143, 11575). New bitcoin-backed debt of $600 million (claim 11583) and the $785 million Long Ridge debt assumption on a Barclays bridge (claims 1871, 928) point toward power and AI infrastructure, alongside a $48 million restructuring (claim 2952). The accumulation rationale is no longer discussed in the later disclosures.
The record contains only RSU grants for insiders (claims 13964, 13965) and no insider sales, so insider behavior cannot be assessed. From here, a careful reader should watch four things. The first is how the Barclays bridge is taken out. The second is whether the pledged-collateral figures, which differ between claims 11143 and 11575, are reconciled. The third is what remains outstanding across the 2030 and 2031 notes after the repurchases. The fourth is whether the Q2 2026 net loss of $610 million (claim 613) prompts a return to the ATM.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-14Marathon's financing record falls into three phases. First came equity-heavy issuance. Then came a concentrated run of convertibles. Most recently the company has turned to secured and bitcoin-collateralized debt. The 2022 base included roughly $730 million of convertible notes and $161 million raised through the at-the-market program (claims #13816, #13818). The ATM pace then rose sharply, with $489.3 million issued in Q1 2024 alone (claim #6207). Between November 2024 and July 2025 the company completed three convertible deals: $1.0 billion, $850 million and $950 million (claims #5398, #5307, #4660). The conversion price on the latest deal was about $20, below the roughly $26 set in November 2024 (claims #4667, #5402). Each dollar of that later paper therefore carries more potential share count. The $37 million capped call attached to the July 2025 deal suggests the company recognized this dilution cost (claim #4673).
The stated use of proceeds was consistent across these deals: acquire bitcoin and retire the 2026 notes (claims #5401, #5311). The bitcoin leg tracks. Holdings reached 44,893 by April 2025 (claim #5023). The refinancing leg narrowed over time. Planned 2026-note repurchases fell from about $212 million to $199 million, then to around $50 million, and finally to $19 million (claims #5400, #5425, #5310, #4672).
By March 2026 the direction had reversed. The company repurchased $1.0 billion of the 2030 and 2031 convertibles, and those repurchases are marked delayed (claims #9265, #2154, #2155). This coincided with bitcoin sales (claim #9092). Holdings then declined to 35,577 (claim #612). Borrowing shifted to secured and collateralized debt. Examples include the $785 million Long Ridge debt assumption backed by a Barclays bridge (claims #928, #1871), $600 million of bitcoin-backed facilities (claim #11583) and a $350 million collateralized line (claim #2498).
Whether this amounts to a coherent strategy or opportunistic patching depends on how the bridge is refinanced. Two figures require explanation on that point. Pledged bitcoin rose from 9,270 to 18,750 (claims #11575, #11143). Over the same period the company reported a $610 million quarterly net loss, negative $238 million free cash flow and a current ratio below 1.0 (claims #613, #1765, #10116). Several records are internally inconsistent. These include the Abu Dhabi contribution figures (claims #13085, #12953), the December 2024 note amounts (claims #5256, #5233) and a 50,000-bitcoin holdings figure (claim #2931). The insider record is sparse. It contains only 2022 RSU grants (claims #13964, #13965) and no disclosed sales.
A careful reader should watch four things. The first is the terms of the Barclays bridge takeout. The second is further growth in pledged bitcoin relative to holdings. The third is whether the $48 million AI restructuring plan (claim #2952) is followed by capital raised explicitly for that purpose. The fourth is whether the delayed Abu Dhabi contributions are resolved or no longer discussed.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-14Marathon's financing record describes three distinct phases rather than one continuous strategy. Through 2022 and early 2024 the company leaned on bank facilities and at-the-market equity, including the $161M ATM issuance per claim 13818 and the $489.3M Q1 2024 ATM per claim 6207, with the Silvergate facilities terminated in March 2023 under waived notice and prepayment terms (claims 13180, 13181). From August 2024 through July 2025 the mix shifted decisively to convertible notes: the $1B offering per claim 5398, the $850M offering per claim 5307, and the $950M offering per claim 4660. Since early 2026 the posture has moved again, toward retiring convertibles (the $1.0B repurchase per claim 9265), selling bitcoin (claims 9092, 6101), and borrowing against bitcoin (the $600M facilities per claim 11583 and the $350M line per claim 2498). Dilution pressure is therefore now mostly contingent rather than realized, though the conversion price fell from $26 per claim 5402 to $20 per claim 4667, which lowers the threshold at which the 2025 notes convert into equity. Each convertible was paired with partial repurchases of the 2026 notes, and the sizes vary across filings ($199 per claim 5425, $212 per claim 5400, roughly $50M per claims 5349 and 4677). That pattern reads as rolling maturities forward more than as a single plan. The stated use of proceeds requires explanation. The 2024 offerings were announced to fund additional bitcoin purchases (claims 5401, 5311), yet holdings are recorded at 44,893 per claim 5023 and 35,577 per claim 7612's companion claim 612, alongside a stated opportunistic sales strategy per claim 7971. Several items are marked delayed, including the Abu Dhabi contributions (claim 13066), the Series A preferred placement (claim 12532), and the special interest payment start date (claim 4668). Some inputs conflict and should be treated cautiously: claim 5348 cites a $700M offering against $850M elsewhere, claim 2931 cites 50,000 bitcoin against 35,577, and several figures lack consistent units. The record also contains no insider transactions, so no read on insider behavior is possible. A careful reader should watch four things: how the $785M Barclays bridge for Long Ridge (claim 1871) is refinanced; whether pledged bitcoin, 9,270 per claim 11575 and 18,750 per claim 11143, keeps rising as a share of holdings; whether negative free cash flow of $238M (claim 1765) and a current ratio under 1.0 (claim 10116) push the company back to the ATM; and how the 2026 restructuring charge (claim 2952) squares with the AI pivot.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-14Marathon's financing record describes a company that moved from equity-funded expansion to convertible-funded bitcoin accumulation, and more recently to asset-backed borrowing and balance-sheet repair. The early record is modest: the Silvergate facilities were terminated on waived terms (claims #13180, #13181), and a $14.25M Series A preferred placement followed (claim #12532). The at-the-market program then became the primary equity source, at $489.3M in Q1 2024 alone (claim #6207). From late 2024 the mix shifted to convertibles in quick succession: a $1B offering (claim #5398), an $850M offering two weeks later (claim #5307), and a $950M offering in July 2025 (claim #4660). The conversion price fell from $26 (claim #5402) to $20 (claim #4667), so each new tranche carries more potential share issuance per dollar raised. The $37M capped call (claim #4664) partly offsets that.
The 2024 offerings named bitcoin purchases as the main use of proceeds (claims #5401, #5311), and that use appears to have been carried out at the time. Holdings of 44,893 BTC in April 2025 (claim #5023) had fallen to 35,577 by Q2 2026 (claim #612), after a 15,133 BTC sale in March 2026 (claim #9092) and a newly stated opportunistic sales strategy (claim #7971). The concurrent repurchases of the 2026 notes were small relative to the capacity raised, and one was revised from $50M (claim #4677) to $19M (claim #4672). In 2026 the direction reversed: a $1.0B convertible repurchase (claim #9265), with the 2030 and 2031 components marked delayed (claims #2154, #2155).
The recent pattern looks more reactive than planned. It includes the $785M Long Ridge debt assumption backed by a Barclays bridge (claims #928, #1871), $600M of bitcoin-backed debt arranged after Q2 (claim #11583), and a $48M AI restructuring (claim #2952). All of this sits against a $610M Q2 net loss (claim #613), negative $238M free cash flow (claim #1765), and a current ratio under 1.0 (claim #10116). Pledged collateral is reported at 9,270 BTC (claim #11575) and 18,750 BTC (claim #11143), and that gap needs explanation. A separate 50,000 BTC holdings figure (claim #2931) does not reconcile with the 35,577 reported elsewhere.
The record contains no insider transactions, so that dimension cannot be assessed, and the dataset ends mid-entry. Readers should watch for four things: how the Barclays bridge is refinanced, whether the delayed 2030 and 2031 repurchases are completed, how much of the remaining bitcoin becomes encumbered, and whether the ATM is used again.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-13Marathon's record shows a funding model that moved from equity to convertibles and then to bitcoin-backed debt and asset sales. The supplied record does not include share counts, so dilution cannot be measured directly. Its direction can still be traced. The Q1 2024 at-the-market program raised $489.3M (claim #6207). Three large convertible deals followed: the $1B November 2024 notes with a $26 conversion price (claims #5398, #5402), the $850M December 2024 notes (claim #5307), and the $950M July 2025 notes (claim #4660). The last of these converts at $20 (claim #4667), which means more potential shares per dollar raised. The $36.9M capped call (claim #4673) partly offsets that. Pricing weakened across successive raises.
The instrument mix looked coherent through 2025. Each convertible was paired with partial repurchases of the 2026 notes (claims #5400, #5310, #4677). That is a steady pattern of extending maturities while raising new capital. By 2026 the pattern is harder to read. Marathon repurchased $1.0B of convertibles (claim #9265), but the 2030 and 2031 repurchase figures are recorded as delayed (claims #2154, #2155). It also added bitcoin-collateralized facilities of $600M and $350M (claims #11583, #2498). Separately, it assumed a $785M Barclays bridge loan for the Long Ridge acquisition (claim #1871). This reads less like a single plan than a sequence of refinancings.
Stated use of proceeds and actual deployment have drifted apart. The 2024 convertibles were raised explicitly to buy bitcoin (claims #5401, #5311). The 2026 record instead shows bitcoin sales (claims #9092, #6101), a stated strategy of opportunistic selling (claim #7971), and a $48M restructuring toward AI initiatives (claim #2952). Recorded holdings fell from 44,893 (claim #5023) to 35,577 (claim #612). A later figure of 50,000 (claim #2931) requires explanation. Pledged collateral is also inconsistent, reported as 18,750 (claim #11143) and 9,270 (claim #11575). Earlier records have unreconciled figures of their own. The Abu Dhabi contribution appears as both $81.2M and $406M (claims #12974, #13085). The December 2024 raise appears as both $700M and $850M (claims #5348, #5307).
Several items deserve close attention. The first is how the $785M bridge is taken out, and whether equity is part of it. The second is whether the delayed 2030 and 2031 repurchases are completed. Collateral coverage matters too as holdings shrink against growing bitcoin-backed borrowing. Finally, liquidity is thin: the record shows a Q2 2026 net loss of $610M (claim #613), negative free cash flow of $238M (claim #1765), and a current ratio below 1.0 (claim #10116). Insider transaction data does not appear in the supplied record, so no read on insider behavior is possible here.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-13Marathon's financing record describes a company that shifted from equity to convertible debt, and then to secured and asset-backed borrowing. After a small preferred placement in 2023 (the $14.25M Series A, per claim #12532), the main equity event on record is the $489.3M at-the-market program in Q1 2024 (claim #6207). Funding then moved to convertibles in quick succession: the $1B offering completed in November 2024 (claim #5398), the $850M issue weeks later (claim #5307), and the $950M issue in July 2025 (claim #4660). The disclosed conversion price fell from $26 (claim #5402) to $20 (claim #4667) across these deals. That leaves the later notes with more potential dilution per dollar raised, even with the $37M capped call (claim #4664). The two increases to the 2018 plan reserve (claims #6539 and #5026) add a smaller, steady source of share-count growth. No insider transactions appear in the record provided, so that dimension cannot be assessed.
The 2024–2025 sequence reads as a coherent strategy. Each convertible stated two uses: buying bitcoin (claims #5401 and #5311) and retiring the 2026 notes (claims #5400, #5310 and #4672). Holdings of 44,893 by April 2025 (claim #5023) are consistent with that stated deployment. The 2026 record looks different. The 2030 and 2031 notes were repurchased (claims #2154 and #2155), with a $1.0B repurchase figure attached (claim #9265). Bitcoin sales are recorded (claims #9092 and #6101), and holdings stand at 35,577 (claim #612). The company also took on $785M of bridge-financed debt for Long Ridge (claims #1871 and #9408) and arranged $600M of bitcoin-backed credit (claim #11583). The accumulation thesis is no longer discussed in its earlier terms. The treasury now serves as a funding source and as collateral, and an 'opportunistic' sales posture is now stated (claim #7971). The $48M restructuring toward AI initiatives (claim #2952) points to a strategic change of direction rather than a continuation.
Several items require explanation. Pledged bitcoin appears as 18,750 (claim #11143) and 9,270 (claim #11575). A 50,000 holdings figure (claim #2931) conflicts with the 35,577 reported the same month. Debt-to-equity is shown as both 140 and 1.49 (claims #591 and #10115). Several offering sizes and the special interest payment start date are marked delayed (claims #4671 and #4668). Against a Q2 2026 net loss of $610M (claim #613), free cash flow of -$238M (claim #1765), and cash of $421M (claim #592), the next things to watch are how the Barclays bridge is taken out, whether the ATM is reactivated, and how the pledged collateral is reconciled.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-13Marathon Digital's capital strategy evolved through three distinct phases, each revealing shifting priorities and market access. The initial phase—a $489.3 million at-the-market offering in Q1 2024, per claim 6207—was modest and measured. Beginning November 2024, the company shifted sharply to convertible issuances: $1 billion priced in November, $850 million in December with a $150 million greenshoe option (claims 5398, 5307, 5423), and a further $950 million offering in July 2025 with an additional $200 million option (claim 4660, 4662). This crescendo of convertible issuance, totaling roughly $3.1 billion gross, suggests the board viewed convertible leverage as preferable to straight equity dilution—a coherent if aggressive capital structure choice.
The stated use of proceeds was unambiguous: acquire additional bitcoin, per claims 5401 and 5311. Yet actual deployment tells a different story. Bitcoin holdings peaked at $44.9 billion in April 2025 (claim 5023) but had contracted to $35.6 billion by Q2 2026 (claim 612). Critically, in March 2026 the company repurchased $1 billion of its own convertible notes (claim 9265) rather than deploying proceeds toward bitcoin accumulation. Simultaneously, Marathon assumed $785 million in debt to acquire Long Ridge's energy operations (claim 928), signaling a strategic recalibration from pure mining toward integrated energy-mining infrastructure. By Q2 2026, the company had pivoted to pledging $18.75 billion in bitcoin as collateral for new lending facilities ($600 million in bitcoin-backed debt, per claim 11583) and executing an "opportunistic" sales strategy (claim 7971). The operational picture worsened materially: Q2 2026 generated a $610 million net loss with negative $238 million free cash flow (claim 1765), while EBITDA turned deeply negative at -$255 million (claim 11137). Gross margin remained strong at 83 percent (claim 11125), suggesting the deterioration stems not from core operations but financing costs and asset valuation changes.
The coherence here is conditional: convertible issuance followed a sensible playbook, and Long Ridge's acquisition was strategically defensible. But the shift from equity issuance to bitcoin-collateral-dependent lending in a rising-rate environment introduces structural risk. A sophisticated reader should monitor whether bitcoin pledging remains available at acceptable terms if BTC prices compress, whether the $421 million cash balance (claim 11138) is adequate given negative operating cash flow, and whether management's transition from accumulation to opportunistic sales reflects conviction about bitcoin price trajectory or distress liquidity management.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-13Marathon Digital's capital structure shifted from equity-dilutive opportunism to convertible-dominant stacking in 2024–2025, then broke course entirely with the Long Ridge acquisition. Through mid-2025, the company raised $2.8 billion in convertible senior notes across three offerings (November and December 2024, July 2025), per claims 5398, 9275, and 9273, while simultaneously repurchasing existing 2026 convertibles—a refinancing tactic that defers dilution but locks in higher debt costs. The preceding $489 million ATM offering in Q1 2024, paired with a $200 million credit facility, had established bitcoin accumulation as the stated use of proceeds. This thesis held through 2025: convertibles funded bitcoin purchases while the maturity ladder pushed refinancing risk forward.
The April 2026 Long Ridge acquisition introduced a structural fracture. The $785 million debt assumption, per claim 928, collided with deteriorating operations. Q2 2026 disclosed a $610 million net loss on $175 million revenue and negative $224 million operating cash flow, per claims 1764 and 11141. The digital asset fair value loss alone was $343 million, per claim 10125. This undermined the bitcoin-accumulation thesis: the treasury's mark-to-market deteriorated, reducing collateral adequacy and forcing repositioning.
By August 2026, Marathon pivoted to bitcoin pledging—$18.75 billion in collateral arranged—and arranged $600 million in bitcoin-backed credit facilities with a $150 million refinance, per claims 11143 and 11583. The shift from buyer to pledger signals collateral-based survival rather than strategic optionality. The announcement of an "opportunistic bitcoin sales strategy for 2026," per claim 7971, codifies this urgency: sales now require explanation rather than patience. A current ratio under 1.0 and $421 million cash against $2.59 billion liabilities, per claims 10116 and 11139, leave minimal room for deterioration.
The coherent strategy—leveraged bitcoin accumulation via convertibles—failed when Long Ridge proved value-destructive rather than accretive. Readers should monitor: bitcoin collateral adequacy as prices fluctuate, the maturity schedule on $1.93 billion long-term debt per claim 11140, whether sales become mandatory rather than opportunistic, and whether Q3 2026 shows operational inflection or continued burning. The company is refinancing into tighter constraints.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-12Marathon Digital's capital strategy shifted from coherent debt-management through refinancing to operationally misaligned during 2024-2026. The company executed multiple convertible offerings across late 2024 and 2025—a $1 billion offering completed November 2024 (claim 5398), additional offerings totaling approximately $850-950 million through July 2025 (claims 5307, 4675, 4660)—alongside a $489 million ATM equity offering in Q1 2024 (claim 6207). Capital flowed systematically into repurchases of maturing 2026 convertible notes ($461 million cumulative through late 2024 per claims 5425, 5400, 5349) and bitcoin accumulation, reaching 35,577 BTC by Q2 2026 (claim 612). This dual use—extend debt maturity, accumulate reserves—was internally consistent.
Strategy fractured in spring 2026. Marathon repurchased $1 billion of convertible notes in March (claim 9265) immediately before Q2 results disclosed $610 million net loss and negative $255 million EBITDA (claims 11136, 11137). The April Long Ridge acquisition assumed $785 million in debt (claim 928) yet contributed only claimed $144 million in annualized EBITDA (claim 10650), insufficient to offset consolidated deterioration. The March capital deployment preceded visible operational stress by weeks, indicating either forecasting failure or delayed disclosure of headwinds.
Current financial stress is acute. Cash of $421 million (claim 11138) against $2.59 billion in liabilities (claim 11139), current ratio below 1.0 (claim 10116), and debt-to-equity ratio of 1.49 (claim 10115) create refinancing urgency. Recent shift to bitcoin-collateralized facilities ($600 million arranged per claim 11583, with $9,270 BTC pledged per claim 11575) and August 2026 announcement of opportunistic Bitcoin sales strategy (claim 7971) indicate forced monetization replacing disciplined deployment.
The conversion price declined from $26 per share in November 2024 (claim 5402) to $20 in July 2025 (claim 4667), documenting equity value deterioration and embedded dilution from future conversion. Readers should watch: maturity wall timing from the 2024-2025 convertible cohort; whether declining bitcoin prices force accelerated collateral liquidation; and Long Ridge integration performance, where claimed $144 million contribution against negative overall EBITDA suggests integration complexity or strategic misalignment.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-11Marathon Digital pursued a coherent if increasingly aggressive capital strategy from 2024 through mid-2025, then shifted materially toward collateralized borrowing. The $489.3M at-the-market offering in May 2024 (per claim 6207) was followed by a $200M credit line in October (claim 5574), but the primary vehicle became convertible debt: four large issuances between November 2024 and July 2025—$1 billion (claim 5398, net $980M per claim 5399), $850M (claim 5307, net $835M per claim 5308), $850M (claim 4675), and $950M (claim 4660, net $940M per claim 4661)—totaling approximately $3.65 billion in less than nine months. The announced use of proceeds was bitcoin acquisition (claims 5401, 5311), and treasury holdings did grow during this period. Parallel to issuance, the company repurchased maturing 2026 convertible notes, culminating in a $1 billion repurchase in March 2026 (claim 9265) partly funded by a $15.1M bitcoin sale (claim 9092). The April 2026 Long Ridge acquisition for $785M in debt assumption (claims 928, 1871) marked a strategic pivot. Rather than raise fresh equity, Marathon assumed liabilities and by August-September 2026 had established $600M in bitcoin-backed credit (claim 8507), refinanced $150M through Coinbase (claim 8508), and arranged an additional $350M bitcoin-collateralized facility (claim 2498), with approximately $18.75B in bitcoin pledged as collateral (claim 11196). However, the underlying business deteriorated markedly. Q2 2026 showed a $610M net loss on $175M revenue (claims 584, 585), with negative operating cash flow of $224M (claim 11128) and negative free cash flow of $238M (claim 11129). Trailing EBITDA was negative $255.1M (claim 11137). Despite announcing $144M annualized adjusted EBITDA from Long Ridge (claim 10650), total company performance suggests the acquisition added liabilities without offsetting operational headwinds. A $48M restructuring for AI initiatives in June (claim 2952) signals operational reconsidering mid-crisis. Insider selling persisted through deterioration at $4.9M in Q1 2026 and $5.4M in Q2 (Form 4 data). The capital structure now depends on bitcoin collateral securing over $600M in borrowings, with a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.49 (claim 10115) and current ratio below 1.0 (claim 10116). Sophisticated readers should monitor covenant compliance if bitcoin prices decline, sustainability of negative free cash flow, and whether additional deleveraging or restructuring becomes necessary given the compressed liquidity position.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-11Marathon has pursued a capital-raising blitz since late 2024 that appears increasingly reactive rather than strategic. The company raised approximately $2.8 billion in convertible securities between November 2024 and July 2025—a $1 billion offering in November at a $26 conversion price, an $850 million offering in December, and a $950 million offering in July at a $20 conversion price (claims 5398, 5307, 4660). Alongside this, the company issued $1.3 billion in Series X Preferred Stock (claim 5212) and deployed a $489 million ATM offering in Q1 2024 (claim 6207). All stated a unified thesis: accumulate bitcoin as a treasury asset.
The thesis appears to have fractured. Bitcoin holdings did grow from approximately 44.9 thousand coins in April 2025 to 50 thousand by late August 2026 (claim 5023 and claim 2931), but the company simultaneously incurred a $343 million unrealized loss in Q2 2026 alone (claim 10125) and initiated an "opportunistic" sales strategy (claim 7971), generating $413 million in proceeds during that quarter (claim 6101). Rather than a patient accumulation plan, the pattern reads as tactical opportunism constrained by deteriorating fundamentals.
The Long Ridge acquisition in April 2026 layered $785 million in debt onto a company already burning capital (claim 928). Q2 2026 generated a $610 million net loss with negative operating cash flow of $224 million and negative free cash flow of $238 million (claims 613, 11128, 11129). TTM diluted earnings per share stand at negative $11 (claim 588). The cash balance has contracted to $421 million against $1.93 billion in long-term debt (claims 11138, 11140), pushing the current ratio below 1.0 (claim 10116) and debt-to-equity above 1.4 (claim 10115).
Insider sales have continued modestly but consistently—15 transactions totaling $4.9 million in Q2 2026 and 17 transactions totaling $5.4 million in Q3 2026. The company has pledged 9,270 bitcoin as collateral against credit facilities (claim 11142), effectively mortgaging the treasury asset.
A sophisticated reader should monitor whether the Long Ridge acquisition begins generating sufficient cash flow to stabilize the burn, and whether lender covenants on bitcoin-backed facilities force additional sales if collateral values decline. Near-term solvency depends on operational improvement rather than capital markets access at current multiples.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-10Marathon's capital strategy across 2024-2026 pursued leveraged bitcoin accumulation through convertible debt, then pivoted opportunistically to operational assets when the underlying business deteriorated. From November 2024 through July 2025, the company issued approximately $2.8 billion in convertible notes—$1 billion in November, per claim 5398; $850 million in December, per claim 5307; and $950 million in July, per claim 4660. Stated proceeds funded bitcoin treasury growth to 35,577 units by Q2 2026, per claim 612. Conversion prices of $26 and $20, per claims 5402 and 4667, reflected management's implicit view of stock upside. The prior year's $489 million ATM offering in Q1 2024, per claim 6207, provided direct equity dilution alongside this converted-debt loading.
Operational results invalidated the accumulation thesis. Q2 2026 reported a $610 million loss on $175 million revenue, per claims 613 and 585. Trailing twelve-month net income turned negative, and free cash flow declined $(238) million, per claims 587 and 10113. In March 2026, faced with maturity walls, the company repurchased $1 billion of due-2026 convertibles, per claim 9265—apparently financed by accelerated bitcoin sales ($413 million proceeds, per claim 6101) executed under a stated opportunistic strategy, per claim 7971. The company simultaneously layered new secured borrowing ($600 million bitcoin-backed facility, per claim 8507; $350 million additional bitcoin collateral line and $150 million revolving by September, per claims 2498 and 2479).
The Long Ridge acquisition in April 2026 ($785 million debt assumption, per claim 928) marked a strategic reset: operational assets and energy cash flows replaced treasury leverage as the financing rationale. Whether this trade stabilizes the business depends on whether Long Ridge operations generate the cash flow to service both acquisition debt and maturing convertibles. A debt-to-equity ratio of 1.49 with a current ratio below 1.0, per claims 10115 and 10116, leaves limited room for error. Insider selling began mid-2026 ($5.4 million in Q3, per Form 4 data) and remains selective—a potential sign of opportunistic rebalancing rather than systemic doubt, but worth monitoring alongside quarterly cash flow trends.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-09Marathon Digital's capital strategy from late 2024 through mid-2026 separates into two phases marked by divergent execution. The first phase—November 2024 through July 2025—consisted of systematic convertible issuance totaling approximately $2.65 billion: $850M in November, $850M in December (claims 5398, 5307), and $950M in July (claim 4660). To manage share dilution, the company deployed $37M in capped call hedges (claim 4673) and repurchased $69M of existing convertible notes (claims 4677, 4672) before completing a $1B repurchase of convertible notes in March 2026 (claim 9265). The announced use of proceeds was bitcoin treasury accumulation. Within those parameters, the strategy appeared coherent and disciplined.
Execution, however, diverged materially from stated intent. Bitcoin holdings peaked at 44,893 units in April 2025 (claim 5023) but fell to 35,577 units by August 2026 (claim 1219), concurrent with opportunistic bitcoin sales (claim 7971) totaling $15.1M in March 2026 alone (claim 9092). Instead of treasury accumulation, capital was redirected toward the Long Ridge acquisition in April 2026, which carried $785M in debt assumption (claim 928), followed by a $48M AI restructuring charge in June 2026 (claim 2952). By September 2026, the balance sheet had reorganized around new secured credit facilities: a $350M bitcoin-collateralized line (claim 2498) and a $150M credit facility (claim 2479).
Financial deterioration accelerated in Q2 2026: a $610M net loss (claim 613) driven largely by $343M in fair value losses on digital assets (claim 614). Debt-to-equity reached 1.49 (claim 10115) and free cash flow fell to -$238.5M (claim 10113). Insider selling accelerated to $4.9M in April and $5.4M in July.
The operative question for investors is whether Long Ridge represents calculated portfolio rebalancing or capitulation to operational constraints. The gap between stated bitcoin-accumulation strategy and actual liquidation, paired with substantial losses and depleting cash, suggests either a fundamental shift in capital allocation intent or financial pressure driving tactical necessity.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-08Marathon's capitalization trajectory reveals a deliberate but fragile bet: raise low-cost convertibles to fund bitcoin accumulation, then opportunistically de-lever when the stock appreciates. Through 2024 and into 2025, the company raised approximately $2.65 billion across three convertible offerings (per claims 5398, 5307, 9275 for the $850M November 2024 close; claim 4660 for the $950M July 2025 close). A May 2024 ATM offering of $489 million (claim 6207) provided additional equity capacity. The stated use consistently emphasized bitcoin acquisition (claims 5311, 5401), and the treasury reached $44.893 billion by April 2025 (claim 5023).
But 2026 marked a pivot. In March, the company repurchased $1 billion in convertible notes at appreciated valuations (claim 9265), suggesting management confidence in the stock price or pressure to simplify leverage. The same month brought a $15.133 million bitcoin sale (claim 9092)—modest from a $44.9B position, yet it preceded a harder shift. The April Long Ridge acquisition required assumption of $785 million in debt (claim 928), introducing operational leverage precisely when Q2 reported a $610 million net loss and $343 million digital asset fair value decline (claims 613, 614). Cash generation has deteriorated: trailing twelve months' levered free cash flow stands at negative $1 million (claim 594).
By August through September, Marathon reoriented. Rather than liquidating bitcoin, the company established $600 million in bitcoin-backed credit facilities and a $350 million bitcoin-collateralized line of credit (claims 8507, 2498), pledging the treasury as collateral for liquidity. A $413 million bitcoin sale materialized in early September (claim 6101). A June restructuring plan for AI initiatives ($48 million, claim 2952) hints at diversification beyond mining. Insiders sold $4.9 million in April and $5.4 million in July 2026 per Form 4 volume.
What requires explanation: the mismatch between a massive treasury and negative free cash flow suggests collateral, not cash, is the binding constraint. Sophisticated readers should track whether asset-backed lending facilities meet convertible maturity schedules, whether Long Ridge's cash flows justify its debt load, and whether the announced "opportunistic bitcoin sales strategy" (claim 7971) reflects tactical rebalancing or emerging capital need. The company's ability to refinance without further equity dilution now depends on bitcoin volatility and lender appetite for asset-backed facilities.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-07Marathon Digital's capital strategy shifted markedly across three phases, each prompted by market conditions rather than a coherent long-term thesis. From early 2024 through mid-2025, the company pursued consistent dilution through two channels: a $489.3 million at-the-market offering in Q1 2024 (claim 6207) and a cascade of convertible issuances—$1 billion in November 2024 (claim 5398), $850 million in December 2024 (claim 5307), and $950 million in July 2025 (claim 4660). Each convertible cycle explicitly funded Bitcoin acquisition (claims 5401, 5311), creating a coherent if leveraged strategy. However, March 2026 marked an inflection: the company repurchased $1 billion of existing convertibles (claim 9265) while simultaneously assuming $785 million in debt through the Long Ridge acquisition (claim 928) and securing a $785 million Barclays bridge facility (claim 1871). This simultaneous liability management and debt accumulation suggests capital structure arbitrage rather than operational confidence. The stated use of proceeds—accumulating digital assets—held through mid-2026, but recent disclosures reveal strain. Q2 2026 saw a $343 million fair value loss on the $35.6 billion Bitcoin treasury (claims 614, 612), a net loss of $610 million on $175 million revenue (claims 613, 585), and negative trailing twelve-month free cash flow (claim 594). The company has since announced opportunistic Bitcoin sales (claim 7971) and layered new credit facilities: a $600 million bitcoin-backed credit line (claim 8507) and a $350 million bitcoin-collateralized facility (claim 2498). These moves signal liquidity pressure rather than optionality. Insider selling has accelerated—17 transactions totaling $5.4 million in Q2 2026 (quarterly Form 4 data). The debt-to-equity ratio of 140 (claim 591) leaves little room for error. Watch whether Long Ridge's energy hedges ($76 million per claim 2517) generate sufficient recurring cash to stabilize the leverage pyramid, or whether the company must continue discretionary Bitcoin sales to service obligations—a dynamic that becomes self-defeating should asset prices weaken further.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-06Marathon Digital's capital architecture over eighteen months pivots sharply from disciplined equity-raising to balance-sheet liabilities hedged by operational and treasury assets. The company executed a $489.3M at-the-market offering in Q1 2024, per claim 6207, then reversed course into convertibles: $1 billion in November 2024 (claim 5398), $850 million in December 2024 (claim 5342), and $950 million in July 2025 (claim 4671), for a total convertible issuance of roughly $2.8 billion over nine months. This stack was partially un-done—Marathon repurchased approximately $120 million of its 1.00% convertible notes due 2026 in mid-2024 and early 2025 (claims 5349, 5310, 4677, 4672)—suggesting either opportunistic buying back or refinancing pressure. The stated use of proceeds was consistent: acquire additional bitcoin. Yet the actual trajectory of holdings contradicts this thesis. Bitcoin treasury stood at approximately $44.9 billion in April 2025 (claim 5023) and declined to $35.6 billion by August 2026 (claim 612), a contraction of roughly $9 billion despite cumulative raises of $2.8 billion in convertibles plus $489 million in ATM proceeds. A $343 million digital asset fair value loss in Q2 2026 (claim 614) explains part of the gap, but Marathon also executed strategic bitcoin sales: $15.1 million in March 2026 (claim 9092) and $413 million in September 2026 (claim 6101), per the company's stated "opportunistic" sales strategy (claim 7971). The disconnect warrants explanation: did bitcoin prices decline sharply, were sales forced by operational needs, or was the acquisition thesis itself revised? The late-stage capital mix tells a different story. In April 2026, Marathon acquired Long Ridge Energy—$785 million in debt assumption (claim 928)—financed by a Barclays bridge facility (claim 1871), not equity. By August 2026, the company had layered in $600 million in bitcoin-backed credit facilities (claim 8507) and a $150 million line of credit (claim 2479). Negative free cash flow of $238 million in Q2 2026 (claim 1765) and negative trailing twelve-month EPS of $11 (claim 588) coincided with this shift. Sophisticated readers should monitor whether the Long Ridge mining operations stabilize the company's cash generation and whether the bitcoin-backed lending facilities expand—both would indicate the treasury is becoming a financing liability rather than a strategic asset.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-05Marathon Digital's capital structure from late 2024 through mid-2026 tells a story of announced strategy meeting operational friction. The company raised roughly $2.65 billion in gross convertible proceeds across three offerings—$1 billion in November 2024 (claim 5398), $700 million in December 2024 (claim 5348), and $950 million in July 2025 (claim 4660)—with stated use of proceeds allocated toward acquiring additional bitcoin. Yet bitcoin holdings declined from approximately 44,893 BTC in April 2025 (claim 5023) to 35,577 BTC by August 2026 (claim 612), suggesting either deployment into operations or tactical liquidation rather than accumulation. The conversion prices on successive offerings compressed from $26 per share (claim 5402) to $20 per share (claim 4667), reflecting stock weakness despite nearly $3 billion raised.
This dilution trajectory shifted abruptly in April 2026. Rather than continuing the convertible-equity mix, Marathon pivoted to debt-funded inorganic growth, assuming $785 million of debt in the Long Ridge acquisition (claim 928) after securing a Barclays bridge facility (claim 1871). Two months later came a $48 million restructuring plan earmarked for AI initiatives (claim 2952), signaling recognition that bitcoin mining alone no longer drove value creation. The company's financial performance corroborated this urgency: Q2 2026 posted a $610 million net loss (claim 613), with $343 million attributed to digital asset fair value declines (claim 614). The trailing twelve-month net loss deteriorated further (claim 587).
By September 2026, Marathon had assembled a multi-tranche credit stack—$350 million in bitcoin-collateralized facilities (claim 2498), a $150 million line of credit (claim 2479), and $600 million in aggregate bitcoin-backed facilities (claim 8507)—a structure that inverts typical credit relationships. Insiders sold $4.9 million worth of stock in Q2 2026 and $5.4 million in Q3 2026 (Form 4 volumes), without corresponding accumulation, suggesting diminished confidence despite stated AI pivot. A sophisticated reader should monitor whether the company can stabilize operations before the collateral-heavy credit facilities tighten, and whether announced AI restructuring translates to positive EBITDA. The delayed convertible repurchases announced in March 2026 (claims 2154, 2155) remain unfunded.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-05Marathon Digital's capital raising over eighteen months reflects a company managing a refinancing cycle through convertible debt, with material divergence between announced intent and actual deployment. The company raised approximately $2.6B through three consecutive convertible offerings (November 2024: $980M net per claim 5399; December 2024: $835M net per claim 5344; July 2025: $940M net per claim 4661), plus a $489M at-the-market offering in May 2024 (claim 6207). Stated use of proceeds focused on bitcoin acquisition (claims 5401, 5311), yet reported holdings declined from $44.9B in April 2025 (claim 5023) to $35.6B by mid-August 2026 (claims 612, 1762) before recovering to $50B by late August (claim 2931), with the company announcing opportunistic bitcoin sales by August (claim 7971).
The capital structure reveals defensive refinancing through aggressive repurchases of 2026-maturity convertibles totaling approximately $170M (claims 5349, 5310, 4677, 4672), clearing the near-term maturity wall. However, delayed repurchases of 2030 and 2031 convertibles totaling $913M (claims 2154, 2155) indicate the debt stack was extended rather than eliminated, presenting a coherent near-term strategy masking longer-term refinancing risk.
The strategic frame shifted in 2026 with the April Long Ridge acquisition assuming $785M in debt (claim 928) and June AI restructuring ($48M, claim 2952), pivoting from treasury accumulation toward operational leverage in energy and computing. This repositioning occurs against deteriorating fundamentals: Q2 2026 showed a $610M net loss (claim 613), negative trailing free cash flow (claim 594), and debt-to-equity of 1.40 (claim 591). The company accessed $150M conventional credit plus $350M in bitcoin-collateralized facilities by early September (claims 2479, 2498), indicating active liquidity management.
Insider selling remained steady at $4.9M and $5.4M in Q1 and Q2 2026 respectively. For sophisticated readers, the key question is whether convertible tranches (priced at $26 per claim 5402 and $20 per claim 4667) convert at planned levels or face refinancing pressure as maturities compound. The critical test: whether Long Ridge's energy hedges ($76M and $39M per claims 2517, 2518) generate sufficient cash flow to service debt and stabilize leverage against current negative free cash flow.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-05Marathon raised roughly $3 billion through convertible offerings ($1 billion November 2024, $850 million December 2024, $950 million July 2025, per claims 5398, 5307, 4660) and an ATM program ($489.3 million Q1 2024, claim 6207). The stated deployment thesis was bitcoin accumulation, which the company pursued aggressively, building holdings to $44.9 billion by April 2025 (claim 5023). That thesis is now reversing: bitcoin holdings declined to $35.6 billion (claim 1219), and $413 million was liquidated in September 2026 (claim 6101). Operating performance has deteriorated sharply, with a $610 million net loss in Q2 2026 (claim 613) and negative trailing free cash flow (claim 594). Separately, Marathon assumed $785 million in debt related to the Long Ridge acquisition (claim 928), introducing a second major liability alongside the convertible stack. Insider selling has been modest and consistent ($4.9 million in Q2 2026, $5.4 million in Q3 2026), reflecting neither panic nor strong conviction. The coherence of capital strategy is difficult to establish. Proceeds raised for bitcoin accumulation are being liquidated; convertible funding is flowing into operating losses rather than the declared asset class; and a separate acquisition debt burden has materialized. The debt-to-equity ratio stands at 140 (claim 591). Sophisticated readers should focus on two near-term stress points. First, the recent convertibles carry specific conversion prices (claims 4667, 5402) and maturity windows; if the stock trades below conversion levels or approaches maturity, holders may demand redemption rather than conversion, forcing refinancing at potentially adverse terms. Second, Long Ridge's cash generation becomes critical—the combined debt load (convertible stack plus $785 million acquisition debt) requires material EBITDA to service; shortfalls in integration would complicate near-term debt servicing given the negative free cash flow position. The bitcoin liquidations suggest those holdings are pledged for credit facilities or earmarked for debt service rather than held strategically.
Capital & dilution trajectory
2026-09-05Marathon Digital pursued convertible debt issuance across 2024 and 2025 according to an opportunistic rather than methodical cadence. The company issued approximately $1.85 billion in convertibles: $1 billion in November 2024 (claim 5398), $850 million in December 2024 (claim 5348), and $950 million in July 2025 (claim 4660), alongside a $489.3 million ATM offering in Q1 2024 (claim 6207). Layered within these issuances were repurchases of 2026-due convertibles totaling roughly $310 million across multiple tranches (claims 5349, 5310, 4672), suggesting the company managed near-term debt maturities while extending duration. The pattern of rapid-succession convertible offerings followed by refinancing of earlier tranches is consistent with tactical opportunism rather than strategic capital planning.
Stated use of proceeds centered on bitcoin acquisition (claims 5401, 5311). Bitcoin holdings reporting across disclosures, however, is materially inconsistent: $44.9 billion as of April 2025 (claim 5023), $35.6 billion in August 2026 (claim 612), and $50 billion by late August 2026 (claim 2931). These contradictions require explanation from management. What is evident is that the company recognized $343 million in digital asset fair value losses in Q2 2026 (claim 614) and reported $413 million in bitcoin sales proceeds (claim 6101), indicating active asset liquidation rather than passive accumulation.
Capital deployment subsequently pivoted. The Long Ridge acquisition brought $785 million in assumed debt (claim 928), and a $48 million restructuring charge for AI initiatives appeared in June 2026 (claim 2952). This M&A and restructuring activity occurred as core financials deteriorated sharply: Q2 2026 net loss totaled $610 million (claim 613), TTM levered free cash flow was negative $1 million (claim 594), and debt-to-equity reached 140 percent (claim 591). Insider sales accelerated in April and July 2026, aggregating $10.3 million, a potential signal of executive confidence withdrawal.
Most recently, the company drew upon a bitcoin-collateralized credit facility for $350 million (claim 2498) and a $150 million unsecured line (claim 2479), both announced in September 2026. The capital structure trajectory shows opportunistic issuance and tactical refinancing rather than coherent strategy, with proceeds deployed into bitcoin, subsequently liquidated amid losses, and capital redeployed into M&A against a background of negative free cash flow. Watch for Long Ridge cash generation realization, convertible refinancing execution if equity prices decline, and bitcoin collateral haircuts should digital asset prices compress materially.

Customer disclosures, read
2026-10-19Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the commercial-diligence sense, and the claim count overstates how many distinct relationships exist. Roughly forty claims collapse to about fifteen counterparties once repeated filings are de-duplicated. The Compute North letter of intent alone appears in claims 14590, 14304, 14311 and 14331, and the Beowulf power agreement repeats across 14791, 14647 and 14639. The two earliest items, the UN Women (20896) and EY (20895) partnerships, refer to the Mara Foundation, a different organization, and should be excluded from the MARA record entirely.
Every counterparty is named. Nowhere does the record describe unidentified 'strategic partners' or 'anchor customers.' The issue is direction, not anonymity: nearly every named party is a supplier, lender, or service provider that Marathon pays. In the patent era, Zhone (21022) and Siemens Technology (21018) were sellers of portfolios acquired alongside licensing agreements, and IP Nav (21024) was a deal-flow source. In the mining era, the counterparties are operating vendors. These include Block Maintain, Securitas and Chord Advisors (15198–15200), Beowulf and 2P1 for power and operations (14791, 14649), Compute North for hosting (14861, 14333), and DMG as a licensor that Marathon paid $500,000 (14305). ViaBTC (14888) and Cumberland DRW (14889) are a mining pool and a liquidity desk, not buyers of a product. The NYDIG securities loan (14306, 14290) is the closest thing to a revenue counterparty, and it is a treasury yield arrangement.
On signed versus provisional language, the Beowulf power purchase agreement (14791, 14801) and the services agreement (14738) are executed contracts. The Compute North relationship began as a binding letter of intent (14590). It was later formalized through a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (14333) and an 82/18 joint venture (14347), so its status did firm up over time.
Concentration has shifted from patent sourcing to dependence on two infrastructure suppliers, Beowulf at Hardin and Compute North for 73,000 hosted miners. That is supplier concentration, not customer concentration.
No revenue arithmetic can be reconciled from these claims, because the dollar figures are all cost-side. They include the $67 million hosting commitment (14331), the $14.6 million deposit (14333), the $11.22 million equity payment to Beowulf and 2P1 (14649), and the DMG license fee. The '$67' and '$500' labels on claims 14311 and 14315 appear to be truncated extractions of those same figures, not separate deals. Marathon's actual revenue comes from block rewards and fees through the pool, so its customer disclosures are best read as a map of operating dependencies.

2026-10-19Marathon's record contains almost no signed customer agreements in the conventional sense. Nearly every named counterparty is a supplier, host, lender or financing agent, so the file documents what Marathon buys rather than who pays it. The two 2014 items, UN Women (claim 20896) and EY (claim 20895), refer to the Mara Foundation, an African entrepreneurship body. They appear to be an entity-matching error and should be excluded. The patent-era record names Zhone (claim 21022) and Siemens Technology (claim 21018) only as sources of acquired portfolios, and IP Navigation Group (claim 21024) as a deal-flow supplier. The 30% special-purpose-entity waterfall (claim 15223) leaves both the licensees and the entity's partners unnamed. That is the only material unidentified counterparty in the file.
After the move to mining, every counterparty is named, but none is a customer. Block Maintain, Securitas Canada and Chord Advisors (claims 15198-15200, 15068-15070, 14859-14860) are operating vendors. H.C. Wainwright (claim 15202) and NYDIG (claims 14306, 14290, 14316) are financing relationships. ViaBTC (claim 14888) is the pool that pays block rewards, and Cumberland DRW (claim 14889) is the liquidity desk. The Beowulf power purchase agreement and lease (claims 14791, 14801, 14802, 14647, 14639) and the Data Facility Services Agreement with 2P1 and Liefern (claims 14756, 14738, 14734, 14649, 14640) are executed contracts. The DMG Blockseer licence, at $500,000 (claims 14305, 14288, 14330), is also executed. The "$500" figure in claim 14315 is an extraction artifact.
The Compute North relationship needs the most careful reading. It began as a "binding letter of intent" for 73,000 miners worth $67 million (claims 14590, 14304, 14331). Claim 14311's "$67" is truncated. The relationship then became a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (claim 14333) and an 82/18 joint venture (claim 14347). The commitment was therefore formalised in stages, and only the September 2021 agreement and the joint venture clearly amount to definitive contracts.
Concentration moved from a single Granby operator to two dominant counterparties by 2021: Beowulf in Hardin and Compute North for the bulk of the hashrate. Compute North's later bankruptcy falls outside this record, but it shows what that host concentration risked. On revenue, the record contains no disclosed revenue figures to reconcile. All of the dollar amounts it does contain ($67 million, $14.6 million, $11.22 million in equity, $500,000) are cost or capital commitments. Revenue therefore cannot be tested against these announcements, and it depends on hashrate and the bitcoin price rather than on any contracted customer.

2026-10-19None of the claims on record for Marathon Digital is a signed customer agreement in the conventional sense, so the record should not be read as evidence of a customer franchise. The two 2014 items (claims 20896, 20895) concern the "Mara Foundation," an African entrepreneurship body that appears to be a different entity from the Nasdaq issuer, and they should be excluded. The 2013-2014 patent-era items are inbound transactions. The Siemens and Zhone "licensing agreements" (claims 21018, 21022) were the means by which Marathon acquired patent portfolios, and IP Nav (claim 21024) is described explicitly as a supplier of deal flow, not a licensee. The 2019 special-purpose-entity arrangement (claim 15223) is a contingent 30% interest in litigation proceeds, not contracted revenue. From 2019 onward, every named counterparty is a vendor, landlord, lender or financing agent. These are Block Maintain, Securitas, Chord Advisors, H.C. Wainwright, Beowulf, 2P1, Liefern, Compute North and DMG (claims 15198-15200, 15202, 14791-14802, 14756, 14333, 14305). The only parties that pay Marathon are the ViaBTC mining pool (claim 14888), which is protocol rewards rather than a negotiated customer contract, and NYDIG, which pays interest on loaned bitcoin (claims 14306, 14316). To its credit, the record names its counterparties throughout. There is no "anchor customer" or unnamed "strategic partner" language. On contract form, the Beowulf power purchase agreement and the data facility services agreement read as executed, with defined terms and share consideration (claims 14639, 14640, 14649). By contrast, the Compute North hosting relationship began as a "binding letter of intent" (claims 14590, 14331), and its later references are restatements of that letter rather than independent confirmation. It was subsequently formalized through a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (claim 14333) and an 82/18 joint venture (claim 14347). Concentration on the supply side has moved from a single patent-sourcing relationship (IP Nav) to Block Maintain at Granby, and then to dependence on Beowulf for power at Hardin and Compute North for hosting 73,000 machines. Many entries are duplicates of the same filings, and claims 14311 and 14315 carry truncated dollar figures ($67, $500) that are extraction artifacts of $67 million and $500,000. No revenue figures appear in these claims, so the deal list cannot be reconciled against disclosed revenue. Any such test would have to run against hashrate and pool payouts rather than contract values.

2026-10-17Nothing in this record is a signed customer agreement in the sense that someone buys a product from Marathon and books revenue. Every named counterparty is a vendor, licensor, lender, landlord or service provider. The closest thing to a revenue source is ViaBTC, the mining pool paying Marathon's daily block rewards (claim 14888), and Cumberland DRW, its liquidation counterparty (claim 14889). Both are operational channels rather than contracted buyers. The two earliest items, UN Women (claim 20896) and EY (claim 20895), describe the Mara Foundation, an African entrepreneurship body with no apparent link to Marathon Patent Group. They look misattributed and should be removed rather than read as partnerships. To Marathon's credit, the file contains no unnamed 'strategic partners' or 'anchor customers'. Every counterparty is identified: Zhone and Siemens Technology (claims 21022, 21018), IP Nav (claim 21024), Securitas Canada, Block Maintain and Chord Advisors (claims 15198-15200), Beowulf, 2P1 and Liefern (claims 14791, 14756), Compute North, NYDIG and DMG. The language-quality issue is with Compute North. The 73,000-miner hosting commitment began as a 'binding letter of intent' (claim 14590), and the March 2022 filing still described it that way (claims 14304, 14331). A September 2021 master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (claim 14333) and an 82/18 joint venture (claim 14347) then formalized parts of it. The record does not show whether the LOI itself was ever replaced by a definitive hosting contract. Counterparty concentration has moved through three phases. The patent era depended on IP Nav for deal flow. In 2019 the business was a single Quebec site run entirely by outsourced vendors. From 2020 to 2022, operating capacity concentrated in two counterparties: Beowulf for power, land and operations at Hardin (claims 14791, 14802, 14649), and Compute North for hosting. The many restatements of the same Beowulf, Securitas and Compute North terms (for example claims 14639, 14647 and 14791) are repeat disclosures, not new deals. No revenue arithmetic can be reconciled from these claims, because none states revenue. The dollar figures are all costs or consideration: $11.22 million in equity for operations services (claim 14640), the Compute North deposit, the $500,000 DMG license (claim 14305), and NYDIG's 3% BTC loan (claim 14316). The labels '$67' and '$500' on claims 14311 and 14315 appear to drop units and should not be cited as figures.

2026-10-17Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the conventional sense. Nearly every named counterparty is a supplier, licensor, financier or service vendor. As a bitcoin miner, the company's revenue comes from pool rewards, described as a daily reward from ViaBTC (14888), with liquidation through Cumberland DRW (14889). Neither is a contracted customer. The 2014 UN Women and EY items (20896, 20895) concern the Mara Foundation, which appears to be an unrelated entity, and should be treated as likely misattributed.
The signed instruments are fairly clear. They include the Siemens and Zhone patent licensing deals (21018, 21022), the H.C. Wainwright at-the-market agreement (15202), the Beowulf exclusive power purchase agreement and land lease (14791, 14801, 14802), the DMG Blockseer license (14305), and the NYDIG Master Securities Loan Agreement (14306). Vendor relationships with Securitas, Chord Advisors and Block Maintain (15198–15200) are described as operating arrangements rather than contracts with disclosed terms. The softer language clusters around Compute North. That relationship began as a 'hosting partner' reference (14861), became a binding letter of intent for 73,000 miners (14590), and was still described as a letter of intent in the March 2022 filing (14304, 14311, 14331). This persisted even though a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (14333) and an 82/18 joint venture (14347) had been disclosed by then. The 30% special-purpose-entity interest (15223) is a contingent waterfall, not a contract with a counterparty.
Every counterparty in the record is named, and none is described only as a 'strategic partner' or 'anchor customer.' Identification is inconsistent, however. The Hardin services agreement is attributed to 2P1 and Liefern (14756, 14738) and elsewhere to Beowulf and 2P1 (14792, 14649). The past-tense phrasing 'were t[o] provide' (14734) suggests the arrangement may have changed.
Counterparty concentration has shifted from patent sources, chiefly IP Nav (21024), to a single power and site provider in Beowulf. By 2021–22 it had moved to a far larger dependence on Compute North for hosting capacity.
The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record, because no revenue figures are disclosed. The $11.22 million equity consideration for 3,000,000 shares implies about $3.74 per share (14649). The $67 million tag on 14331 is not supported by its quoted text. The hosting terms in 14289 pair a $0.50 per machine monthly fee with $0.044 per kWh, and they cannot be tied to the $14.6 million deposit without the truncated schedule.

2026-10-15Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the conventional sense, and the labelling overstates commercial traction. As a bitcoin miner, its revenue comes from block rewards paid through a pool rather than from contracted buyers, so most claims tagged as partnerships are actually vendor, financing or infrastructure arrangements. The two earliest entries, UN Women (20896) and EY (20895), concern the Mara Foundation, an unrelated African entity, and should be excluded entirely. The genuine signed instruments are mostly cost-side: the Zhone and Siemens licensing agreements tied to patent acquisitions (21022, 21018), the Beowulf power purchase agreement with a five-year term (14791, 14801), the land lease (14802), the Data Facility Services Agreement with Beowulf, 2P1 and Liefern (14756, 14738, 14649), the DMG Blockseer licence (14305), the NYDIG securities loan (14306), the Compute North master agreement (14333) and the H.C. Wainwright ATM facility (15202). The weakest language is the Compute North hosting arrangement. It was announced as a binding letter of intent (14590), and filings nearly a year later still describe it that way (14304, 14331), even though a joint venture (14347) and a master agreement (14333) have since been signed. Readers should treat the 73,000-miner figure as LOI-anchored capacity, not a closed definitive contract. To Marathon's credit, every counterparty is named, and no unidentified strategic partners or anchor customers appear. The claim count is inflated by repetition, however. Block Maintain, Securitas and Chord Advisors each appear three times (15198, 15068, 14859; 15199, 15069, 14860; 15200, 15070), and the Beowulf and DMG items recur across several 2021 and 2022 filings. Counterparty concentration has moved from patent sourcing dependent on IP Nav (21024) to a Granby vendor stack, and then to heavy reliance on two infrastructure providers. Beowulf supplies power, land and operations at Hardin, while Compute North supplies hosting and is a JV partner. On the revenue side, a single pool (ViaBTC, 14888) and one liquidity venue (Cumberland, 14889) give way to Marathon's own OFAC pool built on DMG technology. Revenue reconciliation is not possible from this record because every disclosed dollar figure is an outflow or a consideration paid. These include the $14.6 million deposit (14333), the $500,000 licence (14305), roughly $11.2 million in equity for services (14649) and the hosting rates (14289). None of the announced deals carries revenue to which reported results could be tied.

2026-10-15The first point about Marathon's record is that almost none of it describes customers. A bitcoin miner earns its revenue from block rewards routed through a pool, and the only revenue-side counterparty on file is ViaBTC (14888), with Cumberland DRW as the liquidation venue (14889). Everything else is supply-side, financing, or inbound licensing. The 2013 Zhone and Siemens 'licensing agreements' (21022, 21018) were patent acquisitions, IP Nav was a deal-flow supplier (21024), and the H.C. Wainwright agreement (15202) is an equity facility. The 2014 UN Women and EY items (20896, 20895) refer to the 'Mara Foundation,' which appears to be a different entity, so they should be treated as a probable entity-matching error rather than Marathon partnerships. On a positive note, the record contains no anonymous 'strategic partners' or 'anchor customers.' Every counterparty is named. The weaker language sits instead in instrument type. Compute North first appears in a binding letter of intent to host 73,000 miners (14590), and later filings still describe that LOI as the operative document (14304, 14331, 14311). It was supplemented by a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (14333) and an 82/18 joint venture (14347), so that relationship did progress past LOI. The Hardin facility rests on signed instruments: an exclusive power purchase agreement with Beowulf (14791, 14801), a lease (14802), and a services agreement. Filings describe the services counterparties inconsistently, as Liefern and 2P1 (14756, 14738) or as Beowulf and 2P1 (14649), and one filing's past-tense 'were to provide' (14734) suggests the arrangement may have been restructured. Counterparty concentration moved from a Granby vendor trio of Block Maintain, Chord and Securitas (15198–15200) to Beowulf at Hardin in 2020, and then to heavy dependence on Compute North for hosting in 2021–22. The dollar figures in this set cannot be reconciled with revenue, because they are costs. They include the $67 million hosting commitment, the $11.22 million equity payment for services (14640), and the $500,000 DMG license (14305). Several are duplicated across claims (14288, 14315, 14330 and 14290, 14316), and some carry truncated labels ('$67', '$500'). The only income-generating contracts are the NYDIG bitcoin loan, whose interest rate is truncated in the quote (14306), and the contingent 30% SPE patent interest (15223). Neither is quantified enough to test against reported revenue.

2026-10-15The record on Marathon Digital contains almost no customer agreements, signed or otherwise, and most of what is filed as partnership is vendor and financing plumbing. The two earliest items, the UN Women and EY tie-ups (claims 20896, 20895), belong to the Mara Foundation, an unrelated African entrepreneurship group, and should be disregarded as an entity-match error. The 2013 Siemens Technology and Zhone licensing agreements (claims 21018, 21022) are the closest thing to signed counterparty contracts from the patent-monetization era, and both were bundled with patent acquisitions rather than standalone revenue deals. IP Nav (claim 21024) was a deal-flow supplier, and the 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223) is a contingent residual, not a contract with a named payer.
After the pivot to bitcoin mining, every named counterparty is a supplier, host, lender or service provider. These are Block Maintain, Chord Advisors and Securitas at Granby (claims 15198, 15200, 15199, repeated in 15068-15070 and 14859-14860), Cumberland DRW as liquidity venue and ViaBTC as mining pool (claims 14889, 14888), and Beowulf, 2P1 and Liefern at Hardin (claims 14791, 14792, 14756, 14649). None of them is described anonymously as a strategic partner or anchor customer, which is to Marathon's credit. Language strength varies, however. The Beowulf power purchase agreement is executed for 30 MW, but the 100 MW Phase II is optional (claim 14791), and extensions are only 'as mutually agreed' (claim 14801). Compute North starts as a binding letter of intent for 73,000 miners and $67 million (claims 14590, 14331). It becomes a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit in September 2021 (claim 14333) and then an 82/18 joint venture (claim 14347). That is a genuine progression from LOI to contract and equity, but it also deepens Marathon's dependence on a single host.
Concentration risk sits on the supply side. Hosting capacity moved from a single Quebec site to Hardin plus Compute North, and the claims disclose no other comparably sized host. The DMG Blockseer licence and NYDIG securities loan (claims 14288, 14306) add one technology licensor and one lender. Some line items are mislabelled in the extraction ('$500' in claim 14315, '$67' in claim 14311).
Revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record because it discloses no revenue figures, and mining rewards come from the protocol through ViaBTC rather than from contracted customers. The figures that can be checked are cost-side: the $11.22 million share issuance to Beowulf/2P1 (claim 14649), the $0.006/kWh operating cost (claim 14650) and Compute North's $0.044/kWh rate (claim 14289).

2026-10-15Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the conventional sense. A bitcoin miner earns revenue from block rewards rather than contracted buyers, and nearly every named counterparty here is a supplier, host, lender or service vendor. The closest thing to customer-facing revenue is the mining-pool relationship with ViaBTC (claim 14888) and the liquidation channel through Cumberland DRW (claim 14889). Both are disclosed as operating arrangements, not contracts with stated value. In the earlier patent-licensing era, the Siemens Technology and Zhone licensing agreements (claims 21018, 21022) were signed transactions, but each was paired with acquiring the counterparty's portfolio. That makes them two-way deals rather than clean licensing revenue. The UN Women and EY items (claims 20896, 20895) concern the Mara Foundation, an apparently unrelated African entity, and should be treated as misattributed to MARA.
On the signed-versus-soft distinction, the most material instrument is Compute North. It began as a binding letter of intent to host 73,000 miners (claims 14590, 14304, 14331). It was followed by a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (claim 14333), stated hosting terms (claim 14289), and an 82/18 joint venture (claim 14347). Filings dated March 2022 still describe the arrangement through the LOI framing, so investors should not assume the full $67 million scope was ever executed as definitive contracts. The Beowulf power purchase agreement (claims 14791, 14801, 14639) is signed. However, its 100 MW Phase II is contingent, and the five-year term's extensions are only "as mutually agreed."
Counterparties are consistently named; there are no anonymous "strategic partners." The one opaque item is the unnamed special purpose entity holding a 30% patent waterfall interest (claim 15223). Concentration has migrated across eras. It moved from IP Nav as the dominant patent sourcer (claim 21024), to Block Maintain at Granby (claims 15198, 14859), to the Beowulf/2P1/Liefern cluster at Hardin (claims 14756, 14649), and finally to heavy dependence on Compute North.
Revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled because no revenue figures are attached to any claim. The dollar amounts all represent outflows or financing: the $67 million hosting commitment, the $14.6 million deposit, the $11.22 million equity issuance to Beowulf and 2P1 (claim 14640), the $500,000 DMG license (claims 14288, 14330), and the NYDIG bitcoin loan (claim 14306). The "$67" and "$500" figures in claims 14311 and 14315 are unit-truncation artifacts and should be read as millions and thousands respectively.

2026-10-14Marathon's record contains almost no signed customer agreements in the conventional sense. Nearly every named counterparty is a supplier, vendor, financier or host that Marathon pays, not one that pays Marathon. The two 2014 items (claims 20896, 20895) describe UN Women and EY partnerships with the Mara Foundation, an African entrepreneurship body that appears unrelated to the Nasdaq issuer, and should be treated as an entity-matching error rather than commercial evidence. The patent-era licensing agreements with Zhone and Siemens Technology (claims 21022, 21018) are the closest to genuine counterparty contracts, but each was disclosed as the vehicle through which Marathon acquired a patent portfolio rather than as a recurring royalty stream. IP Navigation Group (claim 21024) is explicitly a supplier of deal flow. The 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223) is contingent and leaves the licensees unnamed. To its credit, the record contains no anonymous 'anchor customer' or 'strategic partner' language. Every operating counterparty is identified, including Block Maintain, Chord Advisors, Securitas Canada, Beowulf, 2P1, Liefern, Compute North, DMG and NYDIG. The 2019–2020 vendor claims (15198/15068/14859, 15199/15069/14860, 15200/15070) are the same three relationships repeated across filings and should not be counted as separate deals. Execution status varies. The Beowulf power purchase agreement (claims 14791, 14801), the adjacent land lease (claim 14802) and the data facility services agreement compensated with 3,000,000 shares valued at $11.22 million (claims 14649, 14640) are signed. The Compute North relationship began as a binding letter of intent to host 73,000 miners (claims 14590, 14331). It hardened into a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (claim 14333) and an 82/18 joint venture (claim 14347). Counterparty concentration therefore moved from a scattered patent-licensing base to heavy operational dependence on two infrastructure providers, first Beowulf at Hardin and then Compute North, with the latter carrying the larger fleet commitment. The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from these announcements because none of the dollar figures is inbound revenue. The roughly $67 million attached to the Compute North letter of intent (claims 14311, 14331) is a hosting cost. The DMG Blockseer figure is a $500,000 license fee paid by Marathon (claims 14288, 14305), and claim 14315 mis-scales it as '$500'. Actual revenue derives from pool rewards via ViaBTC (claim 14888) and liquidation through Cumberland DRW (claim 14889), plus 3% bitcoin lending interest from NYDIG (claim 14316). None of these is quantified in the record.

2026-10-13Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the conventional sense, and that is the first thing a reader should understand. As a bitcoin miner, the company's revenue comes from block rewards paid through a mining pool, ViaBTC (claim 14888), and from liquidating coins through Cumberland DRW (claim 14889). Nearly every other named counterparty is a supplier, host, landlord, licensor or lender. The two earliest items, the UN Women and EY partnerships (claims 20896, 20895), refer to the Mara Foundation, which appears to be an unrelated African entity, and should be treated as an entity-matching error rather than Marathon disclosures.
On the signed-versus-soft distinction, the record leans toward executed instruments. The Beowulf power purchase agreement, with a five-year term and 30 MW expandable to 100 MW (claims 14791, 14801), the land lease (claim 14802), the Data Facility Services Agreement with 2P1 and Liefern (claims 14756, 14738), the DMG Blockseer license (claims 14288, 14305), the NYDIG securities loan (claims 14306, 14290) and the Compute North master agreement (claim 14333) are all described as entered into. The notable soft item is the Compute North 'binding letter of intent' to host 73,000 miners (claims 14590, 14331). It is binding in name but still an LOI, and was later supplemented by an 82/18 joint venture (claim 14347). Every counterparty in the record is named. No anonymous 'strategic partner' or 'anchor customer' language appears.
Concentration has migrated with the business model. The 2013-14 patent-licensing era depended on Siemens, Zhone and IP Nav as a deal source (claims 21018, 21022, 21024). In 2019-20 operations centered on a single Granby site run by Block Maintain (claims 15198, 14859). In 2020-21 the company was concentrated in Beowulf and 2P1 at Hardin, and by 2021-22 the bulk of planned hash capacity sat with one host, Compute North (claims 14304, 14333). Many of these entries are refilings of the same agreements (for example, claims 14791, 14647 and 14639), which inflates the apparent number of relationships.
The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record because no revenue figures are disclosed, and the dollar amounts attached to deals are cost-side. The $11.22 million tied to Beowulf and 2P1 is equity compensation for 3,000,000 shares (claims 14649, 14640). The $14.6 million is a hosting deposit (claim 14333), and the $500,000 is a license fee paid to DMG (claim 14330; the '$500' in claim 14315 is a truncation). The $67 million attached to the Compute North LOI (claims 14331, 14311) does not appear in any quoted text and should not be relied upon. Only the NYDIG loan, at three percent interest (claim 14316), implies income, and its principal is not given.

2026-10-13Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the conventional sense. Nearly every named counterparty is a supplier, lender, licensor, or service provider. This matters because the claims can read like commercial traction when they describe cost and financing relationships. The two 2014 Mara Foundation items (claims 20896, 20895) appear to concern an unrelated African entity that shares the name, and should be excluded from MARA's record. In the patent-monetization era, the Siemens Technology and Zhone 'licensing agreements' (21018, 21022) were tied to patent portfolio acquisitions by Marathon, and IP Nav is explicitly described as a supplier of deal flow (21024). None of these establishes a paying licensee. The 2019 waterfall interest (15223) is contingent: a 30% stake in a special purpose entity that could share in net proceeds.
After the pivot to mining, the counterparties are all named, and none is hidden behind 'strategic partner' or 'anchor customer' language. The arrangements still sit on the cost side. Block Maintain, Securitas Canada and Chord Advisors are operating vendors, repeated almost verbatim across 15198–15200, 15068–15070 and 14859–14860. ViaBTC (14888) is the mining pool that pays block rewards, and Cumberland DRW (14889) is a liquidation venue. Neither is a customer under contract. The Beowulf power purchase agreement (14791, 14801, 14639, 14647) and the Hardin services agreement with 2P1 and Liefern (14756, 14738) are signed. However, the April 2021 phrasing that 2P1 and Liefern 'were to provide' services (14734) suggests that arrangement changed. Compute North moved from a binding LOI (14590) to a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (14333) and then an 82/18 joint venture (14347). That is a genuine progression from LOI to definitive terms.
Concentration moved from a single deal-flow source, IP Nav, to heavy reliance on two infrastructure counterparties. Beowulf supplies power and land at Hardin, and Compute North hosts 73,000 miners. The vendor concentration is high, but no customer concentration can be measured.
The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from these claims, because none states revenue. The dollar figures are outflows or financing: the $67 million Compute North commitment (14331), the $500,000 DMG license fee paid by Marathon (14288), and $11.22 million of equity issued for services (14649). The NYDIG loan (14306) and the H.C. Wainwright ATM (15202) are also financing. Claims 14311 and 14315 record these as '$67' and '$500', which are unit-extraction errors and should be corrected before publication.

2026-10-12Marathon's record contains no signed customer agreements in the conventional sense. Every named counterparty is a supplier, service provider, lender, or financing agent, and readers should not count any of them as revenue relationships. The two 2014 items, UN Women (claim 20896) and EY (claim 20895), refer to the Mara Foundation, an apparently unrelated African entity, and look like entity-resolution errors rather than Marathon disclosures. In the patent-monetization era, the Zhone (21022) and Siemens Technology (21018) licensing agreements were vehicles for acquiring patent portfolios, and IP Nav (21024) is explicitly described as a supplier of acquisition opportunities. The 2019 Wainwright ATM agreement (15202) is a capital-raising arrangement. Block Maintain, Chord Advisors, and Securitas (15198-15200, repeated in 15068-15070 and 14859-14860) are outsourced operators. To its credit, the company names every counterparty and does not lean on unidentified strategic partners or anchor customers. The softer language sits elsewhere. The Compute North hosting arrangement began as a binding letter of intent for 73,000 miners (14590) and only later firmed into a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (14333) and an 82/18 joint venture (14347). Beowulf, by contrast, was a signed exclusive power purchase agreement from the outset (14791, 14801). Concentration has shifted from operator dependence on a single Granby site toward heavy reliance on two infrastructure counterparties, Beowulf/2P1 at Hardin (14649, 14756) and Compute North for the bulk of fleet hosting. On the revenue side, the only counterparty that actually pays Marathon in the mining model is the pool, ViaBTC (14888), with Cumberland DRW as the liquidation venue (14889). That makes payment flow concentrated in a single pool relationship. The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record, because none of the dollar figures attached to claims represent inbound revenue. The $67 million Compute North figure (14311, 14331), the $11.22 million equity issued to Beowulf and 2P1 (14640), and the $500,000 DMG Blockseer license (14288) are all outflows or commitments. The NYDIG loan (14290) yields interest income, but it is not quantified here. Heavy duplication across the March 2022 claims also inflates the apparent volume of deal activity.

2026-10-12None of the forty-odd claims on record for Marathon Digital describes a customer agreement in the ordinary sense. Every counterparty is a supplier, host, service provider, financier or licensor whose payments flow away from Marathon. Some items should not be attributed to the company at all. The 2014 UN Women and EY announcements (claims 20896, 20895) concern the Mara Foundation, an unrelated African entity, and look like a name-collision error in the record. The patent-era agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone (21018, 21022) were licensing deals tied to Marathon buying patent portfolios, and IP Nav (21024) is explicitly described as a supplier of patent opportunities rather than a buyer.
In the mining era, the record separates cleanly into signed contracts and softer instruments. The Beowulf power purchase agreement (14791, 14801) is executed, with a five-year term. So are the Data Facility Services Agreement with Beowulf, 2P1 and Liefern (14756, 14738, 14649), the DMG Blockseer licence (14288), the NYDIG securities loan (14306) and the September 2021 Compute North master agreement carrying a $14.6 million deposit (14333). Compute North's 73,000-miner arrangement, however, first appears as a binding letter of intent (14590). It is restated in the March 2022 filings as an LOI rather than a definitive hosting contract (14304, 14331), even as the related joint venture was formed (14347). Every counterparty is named. The record contains no unidentified 'strategic partners' or 'anchor customers.'
Concentration has narrowed over time. The company moved from relying on IP Nav for deal flow, to a single-vendor stack at Granby (Block Maintain, Chord Advisors and Securitas; 15198, 15200, 15199), and then to heavy dependence on two parties, Beowulf for power and Compute North for hosting. Its revenue has effectively come from a single mining pool, ViaBTC (14888), with liquidation through Cumberland DRW (14889).
The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled because the record contains no revenue figures at all. Each disclosed dollar amount is a cost: the $67 million hosting commitment, the $14.6 million deposit, the $500,000 licence and the $11.22 million share-based service fee. Claims 14311 ('$67') and 14315 ('$500') appear to be unit-truncation errors. Repeated restatements, such as 14639, 14647 and 14791, also inflate the apparent deal count and should be deduplicated before any tally.

2026-10-12Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the conventional sense, and the counterparties it does name are overwhelmingly suppliers, service providers and financing parties. The two earliest items (claims 20896, 20895) describe UN Women and EY partnerships with the 'Mara Foundation', an African entrepreneurship vehicle with no evident connection to Marathon Patent Group, and should be treated as misattributed rather than as evidence of commercial traction. The patent-era record is more substantive. Licensing agreements with Siemens Technology (claim 21018) and Zhone (claim 21022) were closed and executed, though each was paired with a portfolio acquisition, which makes them closer to structured asset purchases than arm's-length licensing revenue. IP Navigation Group is described as a key supplier of deal flow (claim 21024), not a customer. The 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223) is contingent, not contracted income.
After the pivot to bitcoin mining, every named counterparty is identified by name, and the filings do not rely on unidentified 'strategic partners' or 'anchor customers'. The language does need to be read carefully, however. Compute North first appears as a hosting partner (claim 14861) and then under a 'binding letter of intent' for 73,000 miners (claims 14590, 14304, 14331). That LOI was later formalized through a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (claim 14333) and an 82/18 joint venture (claim 14347). The Beowulf power purchase agreement (claims 14791, 14801) and the data facility services agreement with 2P1 and Liefern (claims 14756, 14738, 14649) are signed contracts, but they represent costs paid by Marathon, partly through 3,000,000 shares valued at $11.22 million.
Counterparty concentration has moved from a single facility in Granby, operated by Block Maintain with Securitas providing security (claims 15198, 15199), to a heavy dependence on one hosting provider, Compute North, alongside a single mining pool, ViaBTC (claim 14888), and a single liquidity venue, Cumberland DRW (claim 14889). Revenue reconciliation is not possible from this record because no revenue figures are disclosed. The largest dollar amounts, roughly $67 million for Compute North and $500,000 for the DMG Blockseer license, are outflows. Readers should also note extraction errors, since claims 14311 and 14315 render these amounts as '$67' and '$500'. Mining revenue comes from block rewards, not contracted customers, so none of these deals should be read as booked demand.

2026-10-10Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the conventional sense, and that is the main finding. In the patent-licensing era, the only counterparties that resemble revenue sources are Siemens Technology (claim 21018) and Zhone (claim 21022). Both are described as licensing agreements tied to patent-portfolio acquisitions, so they are closer to settlement-and-acquire structures than to recurring customer contracts. IP Navigation Group (claim 21024) was a supplier of deal flow. The 2014 UN Women and EY items (claims 20896, 20895) refer to the 'Mara Foundation,' which appears to be a different, Africa-focused entity. They should be treated as likely misattributions rather than Marathon partnerships. After the pivot to bitcoin mining, the economic counterparty for revenue is a mining pool, ViaBTC (claim 14888), plus a liquidity venue, Cumberland DRW (claim 14889). Every other named relationship is a vendor, host, power supplier or financing counterparty. These include Block Maintain, Securitas and Chord Advisors (claims 15198-15200, repeated in 15068-15070 and 14859-14860), H.C. Wainwright (claim 15202), and NYDIG, to which Marathon lends its bitcoin (claims 14290, 14306, 14316). On firmness, the Beowulf power purchase agreement is executed, with a five-year term and extensions only 'as mutually agreed' (claims 14791, 14801). The DMG Blockseer license is signed at $500,000; the '$500' in claim 14315 is a truncation (claims 14288, 14305, 14330). The weakest instrument is the Compute North arrangement. It began as a 'binding letter of intent' for 73,000 miners (claims 14590, 14331, 14304, 14311), and only later became a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (claim 14333) and an 82/18 joint venture (claim 14347). Notably, no counterparty is ever left unnamed as a 'strategic partner' or 'anchor customer.' Disclosure is specific, but it is also heavily duplicated across filings. Concentration has moved from patent licensees and one deal-sourcing intermediary toward heavy operational dependence on a few infrastructure parties: Beowulf, 2P1 and Liefern at Hardin (claims 14756, 14738, 14649), and Compute North for hosting. The arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record because no revenue figures are disclosed alongside the deals. The dollar amounts that do appear are costs rather than revenue: the $67 million hosting commitment, the $14.6 million deposit, the $11.22 million equity payment to Beowulf and 2P1 (claim 14640), and the hosting and operating rates (claims 14289, 14650). Revenue depends on hash rate and bitcoin price through the pool, not on any announced contract.

2026-10-10Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the conventional sense, and readers should not treat its named counterparties as revenue relationships. The two earliest items, the UN Women and EY partnerships (claims 20896, 20895), refer to the Mara Foundation, an African entrepreneurship group. They appear to be a name collision rather than anything Marathon signed, and should be excluded. The patent-era entries describe Marathon as a buyer, not a seller. It acquired portfolios in connection with licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022) and sourced deal flow from supplier IP Nav (claim 21024). The 30% special-purpose-entity interest (claim 15223) is a contingent waterfall, not a contracted customer.
After the pivot to mining, every counterparty is identified by name, and none is hidden behind an anonymous 'strategic partner' or 'anchor customer' label. Nearly all of them, however, are vendors, financiers or liquidity venues. Block Maintain, Chord Advisors and Securitas are service providers, and they recur across filings as restatements rather than new deals (claims 15198/15068/14859, 15200/15070, 15199/15069/14860). The H.C. Wainwright ATM (claim 15202) and the NYDIG securities loan (claims 14306, 14316, 14290) are financing arrangements. Cumberland DRW is a trading venue (claim 14889). The closest thing to a revenue source is the ViaBTC mining pool (claim 14888), which pays protocol rewards rather than contracted fees.
The firmest commitments are on the cost side. The Beowulf power purchase agreement is described as exclusive, with a five-year term and defined capacity of 30 MW up to 100 MW (claims 14791, 14801, 14647). The related services agreement with 2P1, Liefern and Beowulf was paid in 3,000,000 shares valued at $11.22 million (claims 14649, 14640, 14738). The Compute North relationship shows the clearest progression from soft to hard language. It began as a 'binding letter of intent' for 73,000 miners (claims 14590, 14331) and became a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (claim 14333), then an 82/18 joint venture (claim 14347). The result is heavy operational concentration in one hosting supplier and one power supplier.
The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record. No disclosed revenue figure ties to any named contract. The $67 million tag attached to the Compute North claims (claims 14331, 14311) does not appear in the quoted text. The DMG license is recorded as both $500 and $500,000 (claims 14315, 14305), and its March 2021 date surfaces only in a 2022 filing (claim 14288). Both inconsistencies warrant source verification before the figures are relied on.

2026-10-10Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the conventional sense, and reading it as a customer pipeline would mislead. Nearly every claim names a supplier, financier, or service vendor rather than a buyer of Marathon's output. The two earliest entries are a likely entity mismatch: the UN Women and EY partnerships (claims 20896, 20895) are with the Mara Foundation, an African entrepreneurship body, not Marathon Patent Group, and should be excluded. The patent-era licenses with Siemens Technology and Zhone (21018, 21022) were signed, but they were tied to Marathon acquiring those companies' patent portfolios. IP Nav (21024) is described as a deal-flow supplier, and the 30% special-purpose-entity interest (15223) is a contingent waterfall, not contracted revenue.
The mining era is similarly vendor-heavy, though the counterparties are consistently named rather than hidden behind 'strategic partner' language. Block Maintain, Securitas Canada, and Chord Advisors (15198-15200, repeated in 15068-15070 and 14859-14860) provide operations, security, and finance. Beowulf's exclusive 30 MW to 100 MW power purchase agreement (14791, 14801) and land lease (14802) are executed supply contracts. The 2P1/Liefern services agreement (14756, 14738) was paid in 3,000,000 shares valued at $11.22 million (14649, 14640). The April 2021 wording that those parties 'were to provide' services (14734) suggests the arrangement was later altered. The H.C. Wainwright ATM (15202) is financing, and the NYDIG securities loan (14290, 14316) is a lending arrangement earning interest.
The one instrument whose label needs scrutiny is Compute North. It began as a 'binding letter of intent' to host 73,000 miners, valued at $67 million (14590, 14331, 14311). It was then documented as a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (14333) and a 82/18 joint venture (14347). That chain is a hosting commitment Marathon pays for, not revenue it receives. The DMG Blockseer license (14330, 14305, 14288) is likewise an outflow of $500,000. Claim 14315's '$500' figure appears to be an extraction error.
Concentration is therefore a supplier and treasury risk rather than a customer risk. Block reward income flows through a single pool, ViaBTC (14888), and liquidation runs through a single desk, Cumberland DRW (14889). Hosting capacity sits heavily with Compute North. No revenue figures appear in this record, so the deal arithmetic cannot be reconciled against reported revenue. Readers should also note that heavy duplication across the March 2022 filings inflates the apparent number of distinct agreements.

2026-10-10Marathon's record contains no customer agreements in the conventional sense. Nearly every named counterparty is a supplier, lender, licensor or service provider, and none is a buyer of Marathon's output. Two 2014 items should be excluded outright. The UN Women and EY partnerships (claims 20896, 20895) name the "Mara Foundation," an unrelated African entity, and appear to be an entity-matching error rather than Marathon disclosures. The patent-era entries are cost-side. The Zhone and Siemens licensing agreements (21022, 21018) were vehicles through which Marathon acquired portfolios, and IP Nav is described explicitly as a supplier of patent opportunities (21024). The company leaned heavily on that single source, which was the first concentration point in the record. The 2019 SPE item (15223) is a 30% residual interest, not a customer. In the mining era, Marathon's revenue comes from a pool payout. ViaBTC pays the daily reward and Cumberland DRW is the liquidation venue (14888, 14889), so there is no customer book to name. Every counterparty is identified; nowhere does the record lean on unnamed 'strategic partners' or 'anchor customers.' The language-quality issue sits elsewhere. The Compute North relationship began as a 'binding letter of intent' for 73,000 miners (14590, 14304, 14331). It became a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit only in September 2021 (14333) and then an 82/18 joint venture (14347). Readers should date the firm commitment from 14333, not from the LOI. Counterparty concentration moved in sequence. It ran from IP Nav, to Block Maintain as sole operator at Granby (15198, 15068, 14859), to Beowulf and 2P1 at Hardin, and finally to Compute North. Beowulf combined power supply, land and O&M in one party (14791, 14802, 14649), and Compute North carried the bulk of planned hashrate. Repeated filings of identical language (for example, the Beowulf PPA in 14791, 14647 and 14639) inflate the apparent deal count. The record supports no revenue reconciliation, because none of these claims discloses revenue. The figures that can be checked are cost or financing items. The Beowulf equity consideration of $11.22 million for 3,000,000 shares implies roughly $3.74 per share (14649, 14640). The NYDIG bitcoin loan (14306, 14316) produces interest income, not operating revenue. Several amounts are recorded inconsistently. DMG appears as both $500 and $500,000 (14315 versus 14288), and Compute North as $67 versus $67,000,000 (14311 versus 14331). These units should be normalised before any figures are published.

2026-10-09Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the conventional sense, and diligence should read it that way. As a bitcoin miner, its revenue comes from block rewards paid through a pool, ViaBTC (claim 14888), and liquidation through a trading counterparty, Cumberland DRW (claim 14889). Nearly everything else on file is a supplier, financing or infrastructure contract. The two 2014 items, UN Women (claim 20896) and EY (claim 20895), refer to the Mara Foundation, an apparently unrelated African entity, and should be treated as entity-resolution errors rather than Marathon partnerships. The patent-era licensing deals with Siemens Technology (claim 21018) and Zhone (claim 21022) were signed, but they functioned as portfolio acquisitions rather than revenue contracts. IP Nav (claim 21024) is a deal-flow supplier.
On signed versus provisional language, the Beowulf power purchase agreement is executed. It is exclusive, 30 MW expanding to 100 MW, with a five-year term (claims 14791, 14801, 14639, 14647). The Data Facility Services Agreement is likewise dated October 6, 2020 (claims 14738, 14734). The filings disagree on who the service providers are: claims 14756 and 14738 name 2P1 and Liefern LLC, while claims 14792 and 14649 name Beowulf and 2P1.
The Compute North relationship escalated in three steps. It began as a binding letter of intent for 73,000 miners (claims 14590, 14304, 14331). It then became a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (claim 14333), and finally an 82/18 joint venture (claim 14347). Only the later instruments are definitive.
The one fully unnamed counterparty is the special purpose entity holding the '798 patent, in which Marathon owns 30% (claim 15223). The H.C. Wainwright ATM (claim 15202) is a capital-raising arrangement, not a commercial relationship.
Counterparty concentration has moved from Granby-era vendors (Block Maintain, Securitas, Chord; claims 15198 to 15200) to heavy dependence on a single host, Compute North, by 2021 to 2022. That is an operational exposure rather than revenue concentration.
The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record, because no revenue figures are disclosed and the dollar amounts are costs rather than income. The NYDIG bitcoin loan at 3% (claims 14316, 14306) is the only income-bearing contract. Several extracted values are corrupted: '$500' in claim 14315 against $500,000 in claim 14305, and '$67' in claim 14311 against $67 million in claim 14331. The $11.22 million equity payment for 3,000,000 shares implies about $3.74 per share (claim 14649). The $0.50 per machine monthly hosting fee (claim 14289) also merits checking against the source filing.

2026-10-09Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the conventional sense. Nearly every named counterparty is a supplier, licensor, financier or service provider, which is consistent with a business that moved from patent monetization to bitcoin mining, where the effective revenue source is the mining pool (ViaBTC, claim 14888) and the liquidity venue (Cumberland DRW, claim 14889) rather than identifiable buyers. The two earliest entries, the UN Women and EY partnerships (claims 20896, 20895), refer to the Mara Foundation, an unrelated African entrepreneurship group. They appear to be entity-matching errors and should not be attributed to MARA. Among genuine counterparties, the firmly executed instruments are the Zhone and Siemens patent licensing agreements (claims 21022, 21018), the H.C. Wainwright ATM (claim 15202), the Beowulf power purchase agreement with a defined five-year term (claims 14791, 14801), the DMG Blockseer license (claim 14305), the NYDIG master securities loan agreement (claim 14345), and the Compute North master agreement with its $14.6 million deposit (claim 14333). The Compute North relationship began as a binding letter of intent for 73,000 miners (claim 14590). That LOI language persisted in filings as late as March 2022 (claims 14304, 14331) even after a master agreement and an 82/18 joint venture were signed (claim 14347), so readers should not treat the LOI and the definitive contracts as separate deals. The Hardin services agreement with 2P1 and Liefern is described in past-conditional terms by April 2021, as services that the parties "were to" provide (claim 14734), which suggests it had been restructured or terminated. The only unidentified counterparty is the patent special purpose entity in which Marathon held 30% (claim 15223). Counterparty concentration has shifted sharply over time. The company first depended on IP Nav for deal flow (claim 24) [sic: claim 21024], then on a Granby-era vendor stack of Block Maintain, Securitas and Chord Advisors (claims 15198-15200), then on Beowulf at Hardin, and finally on Compute North as the hosting provider for essentially the entire planned fleet. The record contains no disclosed revenue figures, so deal values cannot be reconciled against reported revenue. The dollar figures that do appear are costs or consideration rather than revenue: $11.22 million in stock for 3,000,000 shares (claim 14649, implying about $3.74 per share), a hosting rate of $0.044 per kWh (claim 14289), and a $67 million label on claim 14331 that the truncated quote does not support. Heavy duplication across filings inflates the apparent claim count, and the input list was cut off mid-record, so later claims were not assessed.

2026-10-07Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the conventional sense, because for most of its history the company has not sold to customers. The patent-era filings name two real revenue counterparties, Siemens Technology (claim 21018) and Zhone (claim 21022). Both were signed licensing agreements, and each was paired with a portfolio acquisition. IP Navigation Group (claim 21024) is described as a supplier of deal flow, not a buyer. The two 2014 items crediting UN Women and EY (claims 20896, 20895) refer to the 'Mara Foundation.' They look like an entity-resolution error and should not count toward Marathon's commercial history. After the 2019 pivot to mining, the named counterparties are vendors and service providers rather than customers. These include Block Maintain, Chord Advisors and Securitas (claims 15198-15200, 14859-14860), Cumberland DRW as a liquidity venue (claim 14889), and NYDIG as a borrower of Marathon's bitcoin (claims 14345, 14290). The only revenue-adjacent counterparty is the mining pool ViaBTC (claim 14888). To Marathon's credit, every counterparty in the record is identified by name, and no unnamed 'strategic partners' or 'anchor customers' appear. The label discipline is weaker, however. The Compute North hosting arrangement for 73,000 miners began as a 'binding letter of intent' (claim 14590). The March 2022 filing still describes it that way (claims 14331, 14304) even though claim 14311 is tagged as a 'hosting agreement.' The relationship firmed up through a September 2021 master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (claim 14333), stated hosting rates (claim 14289) and an 82/18 joint venture (claim 14347). Beowulf is the cleanest signed relationship. It covers an exclusive power purchase agreement of 30-100 MW with a five-year term (claims 14791, 14801), a land lease (claim 14802), and an operations agreement with 2P1 and Liefern paid in 3,000,000 shares valued at $11.22 million (claims 14649, 14738). Concentration therefore moved from a few patent licensees to dependence on two suppliers: Beowulf for power at Hardin and Compute North for most of the planned fleet. Revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record because it discloses no revenue figures. The DMG Blockseer license is also inconsistent, recorded at $500,000 in claims 14305 and 14330 but $500 in claim 14315. The claim list provided is also truncated after claim 14289.

2026-10-05Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the conventional sense, and that is the most important finding. As a bitcoin miner, its revenue comes from block rewards paid through a mining pool, so the named counterparties are mostly suppliers, hosts, financiers and service vendors rather than buyers. The one revenue-side relationship disclosed is ViaBTC, described only as the pool "to which we point our miners" (claim 14888), alongside Cumberland DRW as a liquidation venue (claim 14889). Neither is a signed offtake contract.
The 2014 entries should be set aside. The UN Women and EY partnerships (claims 20896, 20895) belong to the Mara Foundation, an unrelated African entrepreneurship organisation, and appear to be name-match misattributions. The patent-era items are real but are acquisition-side relationships: the Siemens and Zhone licensing agreements were the vehicles through which Marathon bought portfolios (claims 21018, 21022), and IP Nav was a supplier of deal flow (claim 21024). Licensees who paid Marathon are never named.
From 2020 the signed instruments are identifiable and specific. These are the exclusive Beowulf power purchase agreement for 30 MW, expandable to 100 MW, over a five-year term (claims 14791, 14801), the Data Facility Services Agreement with 2P1 and Liefern paid in 3,000,000 shares valued at $11.22 million (claims 14756, 14649), the DMG Blockseer license at $500,000 (claim 14305; claim 14315's "$500" is a parsing error), and the NYDIG securities loan (claim 14290). The Compute North arrangement needs care. Its May 2021 announcement was a "binding letter of intent" for 73,000 miners at roughly $67 million (claims 14590, 14331), not a definitive contract, though it was later supplemented by an 82/18 joint venture (claim 14347).
Concentration has therefore evolved on the supply side, not the customer side. Exposure has moved from a single Granby operator, Block Maintain (claim 15198), to heavy dependence on two counterparties, Beowulf for Hardin power and Compute North for most planned hashrate hosting. Notably, the record contains no unnamed "anchor customer" or "strategic partner" language; every counterparty is identified.
The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record. Every dollar figure disclosed is a cost or outflow: equity compensation, license fees, hosting prepayments and the $0.044/kWh hosting rate (claim 14289). No revenue figure ties to any named deal. Many entries are also duplicates of the same 2022 filing (for example claims 14288, 14305 and 14330), and the record is truncated at claim 14333.

2026-10-05Marathon's record contains no signed customer agreements, because Marathon has no customers in the conventional sense. Mining revenue arrives as a daily pool reward from ViaBTC (claim 14888), and bitcoin is liquidated through Cumberland DRW (claim 14889). Nearly every other named counterparty is a supplier, financier or vendor, so this file is a map of supply-chain dependency rather than demand. Two early entries, the UN Women and EY tie-ups with the "Mara Foundation" (claims 20896, 20895), appear to concern an unrelated African organisation and should be treated as misattributed. The 2013 patent-era deals with Siemens and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022) were licensing arrangements that coincided with patent acquisitions, and IP Nav (claim 21024) was a deal-flow supplier. None of these was a revenue customer.
To its credit, Marathon names its counterparties. There is no anonymous "strategic partner" or "anchor customer" language. The real distinction is between binding and preliminary instruments. The Beowulf power purchase agreement (claims 14791, 14801) and the Data Facility Services Agreement with 2P1 and Liefern (claims 14756, 14738, 14734) are executed contracts. The Compute North relationship began as a binding letter of intent to host 73,000 miners (claim 14590). It firmed into a master agreement carrying a $14.6 million deposit (claim 14333) and later an 82/18 joint venture (claim 14347). The NYDIG loan (claim 14306) and the DMG Blockseer license (claim 14305) are signed agreements.
Counterparty concentration has tightened over time. In 2019 the Granby operation depended on one operator, Block Maintain (claims 15198, 15068). From 2020 to 2021 the company shifted to a single power-and-site sponsor at Hardin, Beowulf. By 2022 the bulk of the planned fleet was committed to one hosting provider, Compute North, at $0.044/kWh under a three-year term (claim 14289). Any operational failure at that host would therefore strand most of the installed capacity.
The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record. No revenue, hashrate or pool-output figures appear against which the hosting commitments could be tested. Some claim titles also overstate the underlying quotes. Claims 14311 and 14315 carry "$67" and "$500" where sibling claims show $67,000,000 and $500,000, and the $67 million figure itself does not appear in any quoted excerpt. The $11.22 million services consideration (claims 14649, 14640) implies about $3.74 per share for the 3,000,000 shares issued, which is equity dilution rather than cash cost. Heavy duplication across the 2022 filings also inflates the apparent deal count, and the source list ends mid-record.

2026-10-03Nothing in Marathon's record is a customer agreement in the conventional sense. Every named counterparty is a supplier, host, lender, licensor or service vendor, so the question is less which deals are signed than which way the money flows. Two early entries should be set aside entirely. The UN Women and EY partnerships (claims 20896, 20895) concern the Mara Foundation, an unrelated African entrepreneurship body, and look like an entity-matching error rather than Marathon disclosures.
In the patent-licensing era, the Siemens and Zhone licensing agreements (21018, 21022) were the vehicles through which Marathon acquired portfolios. They were not revenue licensees, and IP Nav (21024) is described as a deal-sourcing supplier. In the mining era, the documents are largely executed contracts: the Beowulf power purchase agreement with defined MW tranches and term (14791, 14801), the land lease (14802), the Data Facility Services Agreement with 2P1 and Liefern (14756, 14738), the NYDIG loan (14345), and the DMG Blockseer licence (14305). The softest instrument is the Compute North arrangement. It began as a 'binding letter of intent' to host 73,000 miners (14590) and was later papered as a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (14333) and an 82/18 joint venture (14347). The $67 million attached to it in claim titles (14331, 14311) does not appear in any quoted text and should not be treated as a disclosed contract value.
All counterparties are identified by name. The record contains no unnamed 'strategic partner' or 'anchor customer' language, which is to the company's credit. Concentration has moved from a Quebec vendor cluster at Granby (Block Maintain, Securitas, Chord; 15198-15200) to a Hardin cluster built around Beowulf and 2P1. It then shifted to dependence on Compute North for hosting at scale. The apparent breadth of the record is inflated by repetition. The Beowulf PPA alone appears in 14791, 14647 and 14639, and the 3,000,000-share, $11.22 million services consideration appears in both 14649 and 14640.
Revenue cannot be reconciled against these deals because none of them generate revenue. Mining income arrives as pool rewards from ViaBTC (14888) and is realised through Cumberland DRW (14889). Neither relationship carries disclosed contract value. The dollar figures on record are costs or financing: hosting rates (14289), facility opex of $0.006/kWh (14650), equity paid to vendors, and the DMG fee. The claim list supplied here is truncated after the March 2022 filings, so later counterparties are not assessed.

2026-10-03Marathon's record contains no signed customer agreements in the conventional sense, because a bitcoin miner sells into a protocol rather than to buyers. Nearly every named counterparty is a supplier, financier or service provider. The closest thing to a revenue counterparty is ViaBTC, the pool that pays Marathon's daily block reward (claim 14888). Cumberland DRW, the liquidity desk for bitcoin sales, is the only other (claim 14889). The 2014 UN Women and EY items (claims 20896, 20895) concern the Mara Foundation, an unrelated African entrepreneurship body. They look like an entity-resolution error and should not be attributed to MARA. The patent-era licences with Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022) were really patent acquisitions, and IP Nav was a deal-flow source (claim 21024), not a licensee.
On naming, the record is unusually clean. Every counterparty is identified by name, and none are described as unnamed 'strategic partners' or 'anchor customers.' The softer language sits elsewhere. The Compute North hosting deal for 73,000 miners began as a 'binding letter of intent' dated May 21, 2021 (claims 14590, 14304, 14331). It hardened into a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit on September 3, 2021 (claim 14333) and then a joint venture split 82/18 (claim 14347). By contrast, the Beowulf power purchase agreement (claims 14791, 14639) and the 2P1/Liefern services agreement dated October 6, 2020 (claims 14738, 14734) are executed contracts.
Concentration has moved through three stages. It started with patent sellers, then a small Quebec vendor stack of Block Maintain, Securitas and Chord Advisors (claims 15198-15200, repeated in 15068-15070 and 14859-14860). By 2021-22 it had settled on two dependencies: Beowulf for power and Compute North for hosting. Many claims are restatements of the same deal across filings, such as NYDIG in claims 14316, 14345, 14306 and 14290. They should not be counted as separate relationships.
The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record. No claim discloses revenue, and the economics captured are almost entirely on the cost side: $0.044/kWh hosting (claim 14289), $0.006/kWh operations (claim 14650), and 3,000,000 shares valued at $11.22 million (claim 14649). Claim 14331 is labelled $67 million, but its quote does not contain that figure. Claim 14311 shows '$67', and claim 14315 shows '$500' against $500,000 in claims 14305 and 14288. These are extraction unit errors that need fixing before publication. The supplied record also ends mid-entry after claim 14315, so later contracts are not assessed here.

2026-09-27Marathon's record contains few customer agreements in the ordinary sense, and the claim count overstates how many distinct relationships exist. Most entries are suppliers, hosts, lenders or financing counterparties, and many are the same disclosure repeated across filings. The Granby vendor trio of Block Maintain, Chord Advisors and Securitas Canada appears three times (15198/15068/14859, 15200/15070, 15199/15069/14860). The Beowulf power purchase agreement recurs as 14791, 14647 and 14639, and the NYDIG loan as 14345, 14306, 14316 and 14290. The two earliest items, UN Women (20896) and EY (20895), concern the Mara Foundation, an African entrepreneurship body, and look like entity-resolution errors rather than Marathon relationships. They should be excluded.
What is signed is clear. The patent-era licensing agreements with Siemens (21018) and Zhone (21022) were executed and came with portfolio acquisitions. The Beowulf PPA is described as an exclusive, executed agreement for 30 MW, expandable to 100 MW (14791), with a five-year initial term (14801). The DMG Blockseer licence (14305, 14330) and the NYDIG Master Securities Loan Agreement (14345) are also signed. By contrast, the largest operational commitment, hosting 73,000 miners with Compute North, began as a "binding letter of intent" (14590, 14304, 14331). It was only later papered as a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (14333) and a joint venture split 82/18 (14347). The counterparty set on the services contract is inconsistent. Some filings name Beowulf and 2P1 (14792, 14649), while others name 2P1 and Liefern (14738, 14756). The past-tense "were t[o]" in 14734 hints the arrangement may have changed. Every counterparty in the record is named; none is described only as an unidentified "strategic partner."
Concentration moved from a patent pipeline leaning heavily on IP Nav (21024), to a single Quebec site run by one operator (15198), to dependence on two counterparties for power and hosting: Beowulf at Hardin and, above all, Compute North. On the revenue side, the only revenue counterparty disclosed is the mining pool ViaBTC (14888), with Cumberland DRW handling liquidations (14889). That is effectively single-source concentration.
The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record, because no revenue figures are disclosed alongside the deals. The dollar amounts that do appear are costs, not revenue: the $67 million Compute North commitment (14331), the $14.6 million deposit (14333), the $11.22 million share issuance (14640), and the $500,000 DMG licence. Two extracted figures, "$67" (14311) and "$500" (14315), are unit errors. The input also ends mid-record at claim 142xx, so later developments are not assessed here.
Customer disclosures, read
2026-09-27Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the conventional sense, and readers should weigh it that way. As a bitcoin miner, its revenue comes from block rewards paid through a mining pool, ViaBTC (claim 14888), and from bitcoin sales to Cumberland DRW (claim 14889). Nearly every other entry is a supplier, host, financing, or licensing counterparty. These include Block Maintain, Chord Advisors and Securitas at Granby (claims 15198, 15200, 15199), H.C. Wainwright's at-the-market offering (claim 15202), and DMG's $500,000 Blockseer license (claim 14305). These are costs or capital sources, not demand. The one revenue-bearing contract with a named counterparty is the NYDIG Master Securities Loan Agreement, which lends Marathon's bitcoin at interest (claim 14316).
On naming, the record is unusually clean. Every counterparty is identified, and none is described only as a 'strategic partner' or 'anchor customer.' The signed-versus-provisional distinction still matters. The Compute North arrangement for 73,000 miners began as a 'binding letter of intent' (claims 14590, 14304). It was later carried at $67 million (claim 14331) before a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (claim 14333) and an 82/18 joint venture (claim 14347) formalized part of it. The Beowulf power purchase agreement is signed (claim 14791), but its extensions beyond five years are only 'as mutually agreed' (claim 14801). The Hardin services arrangement also shifts across filings. It first named Beowulf and 2P1 (claim 14792), then 2P1 and Liefern (claim 14756). A later filing says services 'were to' be provided (claim 14734), which implies the arrangement changed or ended.
Counterparty concentration has migrated rather than diversified. Operations depended on three Granby vendors in 2019, then on Beowulf for power, land and operations at Hardin in 2020–21 (claims 14791, 14802, 14649). By 2022 the dependence had moved to Compute North for hosting (claim 14289). In 2023 an Abu Dhabi joint venture with FS Innovation appears (claims 13084, 13074). The count of distinct claims overstates breadth, because the same agreements are re-disclosed repeatedly: the Beowulf power agreement alone appears in claims 14791, 14647 and 14639.
The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record. No claim ties an announced agreement to a revenue figure. The largest dollar amounts run against Marathon's revenue: $11.22 million in equity paid to Beowulf and 2P1 (claim 14640) and the Compute North commitments. The supplied record also ends mid-entry at claim 13074, so later disclosures are not assessed here.

2026-09-26Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the conventional sense, and the counterparty list should be read as a map of suppliers, hosts, lenders and joint-venture partners. The only revenue-side counterparty named is ViaBTC, the mining pool that pays Marathon's daily block rewards (claim 14888). Cumberland DRW is a liquidation venue rather than a buyer under contract (claim 14889). Every other named party either receives Marathon's money or equity or provides it capital: Block Maintain, Securitas Canada and Chord Advisors as service vendors (claims 15198, 15199, 15200), Beowulf under an exclusive power purchase agreement (claims 14791, 14801), DMG under a Blockseer license (claim 14305), NYDIG under a bitcoin securities loan (claim 14345), and H.C. Wainwright under an at-the-market offering (claim 15202). To Marathon's credit, the record contains no unnamed 'strategic partner' or 'anchor customer' language. Every counterparty is identified. The apparent breadth is inflated by restatement, however. Block Maintain appears three times (claims 15198, 15068, 14859), and the NYDIG loan (claims 14345, 14306, 14316, 14290) and DMG license (claims 14305, 14330, 14315, 14288) appear four times each from a single March 2022 filing. The firmness of the documentation varies. The Beowulf power agreement and the DMG, NYDIG and FS Innovation shareholders' agreement (claim 12951) are executed contracts. The 73,000-miner Compute North arrangement began as a 'binding letter of intent' (claims 14590, 14331), not a definitive hosting contract, and was only later supplemented by a master agreement carrying a $14.6 million deposit (claim 14333) and an 82/18 joint venture (claim 14347). The 2P1 and Liefern services agreement is described in April 2021 as services those parties 'were to provide' (claim 14734), which implies the arrangement had been restructured within six months of signing. Operational concentration has migrated in sequence: first Block Maintain at Granby (2019), then Beowulf and 2P1 at Hardin (2020 to 2021), then Compute North for most of the planned fleet (2021 to 2022), then FS Innovation in Abu Dhabi (2023, claims 13056, 12951, 12972). Each shift left Marathon dependent on a single host or power counterparty. The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record. No revenue figures are disclosed, and all tagged dollar amounts are costs or financing: the $11.22 million equity payment to Beowulf and 2P1 (claim 14649), the Compute North deposit, and the $500,000 DMG license. The '$67' and '$500' tags on claims 14311 and 14315 appear truncated relative to their companion claims.

2026-09-26Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the conventional sense. As a bitcoin miner, its revenue comes from block rewards paid through a mining pool, and the only disclosed revenue channel is ViaBTC, the pool to which it points its miners (claim 14888). Nearly every other entry is a supplier, landlord, financing or technology relationship in which Marathon is the paying party. These include Block Maintain, Chord Advisors and Securitas Canada at Granby (15198, 15200, 15199), the Wainwright ATM facility (15202), and the DMG Blockseer license (14305). The one arrangement where a counterparty pays Marathon is the NYDIG securities loan, which bears three percent interest on lent bitcoin (14316). Legacy patent economics survive only as a contingent 30% interest in a special purpose entity (15223).
Every counterparty is named. The file contains no unidentified 'strategic partners' or 'anchor customers'. The more important distinction is between executed and preliminary language. The Beowulf power purchase agreement (14791) and the Data Facility Services Agreement with 2P1 and Liefern (14756, 14738) are described as entered into. So are the NYDIG loan and the DMG license. The Compute North relationship began as a 'binding letter of intent' for 73,000 miners (14590, 14304). It became a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (14333) and then an 82/18 joint venture (14347), so its $67 million headline (14331) should be read as LOI-stage until then. The FS Innovation Abu Dhabi venture is a signed shareholders' agreement, but its capital contributions remain subject to conditions (12977, 13056). The Applied Digital hosting item is phrased only as 'entering into' relationships (13055).
Concentration moved through three phases. In 2019 Marathon depended on a single outsourced Granby operator. In 2020–21 it depended on Beowulf and 2P1 at Hardin, where the $11.22 million services fee was paid in stock (14649). In 2021–22 it depended on Compute North, which alone accounted for the largest disclosed dollar commitments. By 2023 hosting and development were spread across Applied Digital and the Abu Dhabi venture. Throughout this period, pool revenue concentration in ViaBTC was never disclosed as having diversified.
The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record, because no claim states revenue attributable to any counterparty. The disclosed dollar figures ($67 million, $14.6 million, $11.22 million, $500,000) are all costs or commitments, not income. Extraction units also look inconsistent: claims 14311 and 14315 render $67 million and $500,000 as '$67' and '$500'. Many entries are duplicate restatements of the same agreements across filings (14647/14639, 14288/14305/14330), which inflates the apparent deal count.
Customer disclosures, read
2026-09-26Marathon's record is unusual for a customer-diligence read because almost none of the named counterparties are customers. They are suppliers, landlords, lenders, licensors and joint-venture partners. The only revenue-side relationships disclosed are ViaBTC, the mining pool that pays the company's daily block rewards (claim 14888), and Cumberland DRW, the desk used when bitcoin is liquidated (claim 14889). Both are described operationally rather than as contracted offtake, so the true 'customer' is the Bitcoin network itself, intermediated by a single named pool.
On the cost and infrastructure side, the language is mostly signed. Beowulf's exclusive Power Purchase Agreement for 30 MW, expandable to 100 MW, has a stated five-year term (claims 14791, 14801). The adjacent land lease (claim 14802) is also signed, as is the Data Facility Services Agreement with 2P1 and Liefern. That agreement is paid partly in equity valued at $11.22 million (claims 14649, 14756). The April 2021 restatement shifts to 'were to provide' (claim 14734), which hints at a changed arrangement worth confirming. The NYDIG securities loan (claims 14316, 14306) and the $500,000 DMG Blockseer licence (claims 14305, 14330) are executed agreements. The FS Innovation Abu Dhabi shareholders' agreement is a signed joint-venture formation (claims 13074, 12972).
The softer instruments sit with Compute North and Applied Digital. The 73,000-miner hosting arrangement began as a 'binding letter of intent' (claims 14590, 14331). It was later papered as a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (claim 14333) and an 82/18 joint venture (claim 14347). The Applied Digital 'hosting relationships' (claim 13055) carry no disclosed term, price or capacity. Every counterparty on record is identified by name, and there are no anonymous 'strategic partners'.
Concentration has migrated rather than diversified. In 2019 it sat with the Granby operator Block Maintain, a vendor repeated verbatim across three filings (claims 15198, 15068, 14859). By late 2020 it had moved to Beowulf and Hardin, and through 2021–22 to Compute North, which hosted the bulk of the planned fleet. Only in 2023 do Applied Digital and the Abu Dhabi venture begin spreading the risk.
Revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record. None of the claims discloses revenue, and the $67 million associated with Compute North (claims 14331, 14311) is a hosting outlay, not income. Several extracted amounts also appear unit-truncated ('$67', '$500', '$81,200' in claims 14311, 14315, 13074), so they should be checked against the source filings before use.
Customer disclosures, read
2026-09-23Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the conventional sense. As a bitcoin miner, its only revenue counterparty on file is the ViaBTC mining pool that pays its daily block reward (claim 14888), with Cumberland DRW named as the desk it trades with when it sells bitcoin (14889). Every other entry is a supplier, host, lessor, financier or joint-venture partner. The useful question is therefore which cost and capacity commitments were actually signed and which were preliminary. The signed instruments are clear enough. They include the H.C. Wainwright at-the-market agreement (15202), the exclusive Beowulf power purchase agreement for 30 MW scaling to 100 MW, with a five-year term (14791, 14801), the October 6, 2020 Data Facility Services Agreement paid in 3,000,000 shares valued at $11.22 million (14738, 14649), the NYDIG master securities loan (14316), the DMG Blockseer license at $500,000 (14330), and the FS Innovation shareholders' agreement for the Abu Dhabi entity (13074). The Compute North relationship is the one that moved through stages. It began as a hosting partner described in 2020 (14861), became a 'binding letter of intent' for 73,000 miners in May 2021 (14590), was formalized in a September 2021 master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (14333), and became an 82/18 joint venture that December (14347). The Applied Digital arrangement is described only as 'hosting relationships', with no date, capacity or price (13055). To Marathon's credit, every counterparty is named, and there is no reliance on unidentified 'strategic partners'. The disclosure does have two inconsistencies. The services agreement is attributed to Beowulf and 2P1 in some filings (14792, 14640) and to 2P1 and Liefern in others (14756, 14738). The April 2021 filing also says those parties 'were to' provide services (14734), which hints at a change the record does not explain. Concentration shifted from Granby vendors (Block Maintain, Securitas, Chord) in 2019, to Beowulf at Hardin in 2020-21, to heavy dependence on Compute North through 2022, and then toward Applied Digital and the Abu Dhabi venture in 2023. The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record. No revenue figures are disclosed, and the dollar amounts attached are outflows, not inflows. The units are also inconsistent: the Compute North figure appears as both $67,000,000 (14331) and '$67' (14311), and the Abu Dhabi figure appears as '$81,200' (13074). The record also repeats claims heavily, which overstates how many distinct deals there are.
Customer disclosures, read
2026-09-23Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the conventional sense. The counterparties are overwhelmingly suppliers, service providers, financiers, and joint-venture partners of a bitcoin miner, and the nearest thing to a revenue counterparty is the mining pool ViaBTC, which pays block rewards (claim 14888), plus Cumberland DRW as the liquidation venue (claim 14889). Read as a diligence file, the useful question is not who is buying from Marathon but how firmly its capacity-side relationships were papered. Every counterparty in the file is named. No 'strategic partner' or 'anchor customer' appears without identification, which is a point in the disclosures' favor. Firmness varies considerably, however. The Beowulf arrangement at Hardin is a signed, exclusive Power Purchase Agreement with a stated five-year term and extension options (claims 14791, 14801), paired with a land lease (claim 14802) and a Data Facility Services Agreement compensated in equity valued at $11.22 million (claims 14649, 14640). The Compute North relationship began as a 'binding letter of intent' to host 73,000 miners (claims 14590, 14331, 14304). It was later described as a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (claim 14333) and a joint venture owned 82/18 (claim 14347), a progression from LOI toward definitive terms that the record documents only in part. The Applied Digital entry is framed loosely as 'third-party hosting relationships' with no disclosed contract value or term (claim 13055). The FS Innovation Abu Dhabi entity rests on a signed Shareholders' Agreement (claims 13074, 12972). Concentration moved in stages. Early operations relied on Block Maintain, Chord Advisors, and Securitas at a single Quebec site (claims 15198–15200). Hosting and power then consolidated around Beowulf and, far more heavily, Compute North, which carried the largest disclosed dollar commitment ($67 million for the 73,000-miner program). By 2023 the file shows diversification toward Applied Digital and the Abu Dhabi venture, but it is silent on what happened to the Compute North commitments, which is a material gap. The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record because no revenue, hashrate-to-revenue, or per-counterparty revenue figures are disclosed; the dollar amounts are all cost, deposit, or equity-consideration items. Headline counts are also inflated by repetition, since roughly half the claims restate the same Compute North, NYDIG, and DMG agreements from a single March 2022 filing. Some amounts appear truncated: '$67' in claim 14311 and '$500' in claim 14315 correspond to $67 million and $500,000 elsewhere, and '$81,200' in claim 13074 is unexplained. These amounts should not be summed as independent commitments.

2026-09-21The first thing to establish about this record is that almost none of it describes customers. Marathon's named counterparties are overwhelmingly vendors, hosts, lenders and landlords: financial back-office from Chord Advisors, site operations from Block Maintain, guarding from Securitas Canada (claims 15198-15200, repeated verbatim at 15068-15070 and 14859-14861), power from Beowulf (14791, 14639, 14647), operations and maintenance from Beowulf/2P1/Liefern (14792, 14756, 14738, 14734, 14649, 14640), hosting from Compute North (14861, 14289) and later Applied Digital (13055). The only counterparties on the inbound side of the ledger are ViaBTC, which pays the daily pool reward (14888), Cumberland DRW, which buys the coin when Marathon liquidates (14889), and NYDIG, which pays three percent on borrowed bitcoin (14290/14306/14316/14345). A reader scanning headlines for demand-side validation will find two names and a lending desk.
On identification, the record is unusually clean: there is no "anchor customer" or unnamed "strategic partner" language anywhere. Every operating counterparty is named. The two unnamed entities are structural rather than commercial, being the patent special purpose entity in which Marathon holds a 30% waterfall interest (15223) and the ADGM vehicle formed with FS Innovation (13084, 13074).
Contract quality varies more than the headlines suggest. The Compute North relationship was announced as a "binding letter of intent" (14590, 14304, 14331) and only hardened into a master agreement with a $14.6 million staged deposit (14333) and then an 82/18 joint venture (14347). The $67 million figure at 14311 is an obligation, not a booking. Note also that the March 9, 2022 cluster restates the same three agreements across roughly eleven claim ids, which inflates apparent deal count without adding counterparties.
Concentration has migrated rather than diversified: from small Quebec service vendors in 2019, to a single power landlord at Hardin in 2020-21, to a single host in 2021-22, to Applied Digital and an Abu Dhabi JV by 2023. Each era carries essentially one load-bearing name.
The arithmetic does not reconcile because it cannot. The disclosed dollar terms - $11.22 million in shares, $500,000 for the Blockseer license (14288/14305), $0.006/kWh O&M (14650), $0.044/kWh plus $0.50 per machine hosting (14289) - are all cost inputs. Revenue remains a function of hashrate, difficulty and bitcoin price, arriving through ViaBTC, and no sum of these announcements produces it.

2026-09-21The first thing to establish is that almost nothing in this record is a customer agreement. Across roughly forty claims spanning 2019 to 2023, Marathon appears overwhelmingly as the buyer, lessee, licensee or lender of assets rather than as a vendor. Securitas Canada, Chord Advisors and Block Maintain (claims 15198, 15199, 15200, repeated verbatim in 15068-15070 and again in 14859-14860) are service suppliers. Beowulf and Two Point One supply power and O&M (14791, 14792, 14801, 14802). Compute North supplies hosting (14590, 14304). DMG Blockchain licenses technology to Marathon, not the reverse (14305). The company's only genuinely revenue-adjacent counterparties are ViaBTC, the mining pool that pays the daily block reward (14888), Cumberland DRW, the liquidation venue (14889), and NYDIG, which borrows bitcoin at three percent (14290, 14306, 14316, 14345). Anyone reading this as a customer roster is misreading a procurement list.
On execution status, the distinction is sharper than the language suggests. The Beowulf power purchase agreement, the Data Facility Services Agreement, the DMG license, the NYDIG master securities loan agreement and the FS Innovation shareholders' agreement (12972, 13074, 13084) are all executed instruments with stated terms. Compute North is the exception worth flagging: the 73,000-miner arrangement was announced in May 2021 as a "binding letter of intent" (14590) and was still being described in those terms in the March 2022 filings (14304, 14311, 14331), even after a separate master agreement and a $14.6 million deposit (14333) and an 82/18 joint venture (14347). Binding LOI is not the same as a definitive hosting contract, and the persistence of that phrasing across three reporting periods is the single most useful tell in the file.
One counterparty is never identified: the special purpose entity holding the '798 patent, in which Marathon retains a 30% waterfall interest (15223). That is the only inbound economic claim in the 2019 record and it is attached to an unnamed vehicle with no quantified recovery.
The arithmetic therefore cannot reconcile to revenue. The disclosed figures — $67 million, $14.6 million, $500,000, $11.22 million in stock — are outflows. Concentration migrated from several small vendors toward near-total dependence on Compute North and Beowulf by 2021, which is a supply-side single-point risk, not customer diversification.

2026-09-20The first thing worth stating plainly is that almost nothing in this record is a customer agreement. Marathon's named counterparties are overwhelmingly vendors and suppliers to which the company pays money: security from Securitas Canada (15199, 15069, 14860), bookkeeping from Chord Advisors (15200, 15070), site operations from Block Maintain at Granby (15198, 15068, 14859), power and O&M from Beowulf and Two Point One at Hardin (14791, 14792, 14801, 14802, 14756, 14738, 14734, 14647, 14649, 14640), and hosting from Compute North (14861, 14590, 14304, 14289). A miner does not sell to customers in the ordinary sense; its revenue counterparty is the protocol. The only genuine inbound-revenue relationships disclosed are ViaBTC, the pool that pays the daily block reward (14888), and NYDIG, which pays three percent on borrowed bitcoin under the Master Securities Loan Agreement (14306, 14290, 14345, 14316). Cumberland DRW is a liquidation venue, not a customer (14889).
On identification, Marathon is unusually specific by name and unusually vague where value sits. The patent special purpose entity holding the '798 Patent is never identified, and neither are any licensees or defendants behind the 30% waterfall interest (15223). The Abu Dhabi vehicle formed with FS Innovation is described only as 'the ADGM Entity' (12972, 13084, 13074), and the $81,200 figure attached to it is too small to be a capitalization of consequence without further context. 'Hosting partner' language (14861) preceded any binding instrument by nine months.
Concentration moved decisively in one direction. The 2019 vendor set was diffuse and small-dollar; by 2021 the entire asset base ran through two dependencies, Beowulf/2P1 for Hardin energy and Compute North for hosted fleet, with the latter carrying 73,000 machines under a binding letter of intent (14590), a $14.6 million staged deposit (14333), an $18-month, $67 million commitment (14311, 14331), and an 82/18 joint venture (14347). That is a single point of failure dressed as diversification.
The revenue arithmetic does not reconcile because it was never meant to. The headline dollar figures — $67 million, $14.6 million, $11.22 million in stock to Beowulf/2P1 (14649, 14640), $500,000 to DMG for Blockseer (14305, 14288, 14330) — are outflows, not bookings. No disclosed revenue line attaches to any named counterparty other than the pool.
Customer disclosures, read
2026-09-20The first thing a reader should understand about Marathon's counterparty record is that it contains almost no customers. Nearly every named relationship runs the other direction: Block Maintain for site operations and Securitas Canada for security at Granby (claims 15198, 15199, 14859, 14860), Chord Advisors for finance (15200, 15070), Beowulf and Two Point One plus Liefern for power and O&M at Hardin (14791, 14792, 14756, 14738), Compute North and later Applied Digital for hosting (14861, 13055), and DMG Blockchain for a pool license (14288, 14305, 14315). These are vendors Marathon pays. The only revenue-facing names in the whole set are ViaBTC, described as the pool from which Marathon receives its daily reward (14888), Cumberland DRW as the liquidation venue (14889), and NYDIG, to which Marathon lends bitcoin at three percent (14290, 14306, 14316) — the single genuinely income-producing named agreement on record, and one with no disclosed notional.
On signed versus soft, the record is cleaner than most. The Compute North relationship begins as a binding letter of intent dated May 21, 2021 for 73,000 miners (14590, 14304, 14311, 14331), then hardens into a master agreement with a $14.6 million staged deposit (14333) and an 82/18 joint venture entity (14347) — an LOI that actually converted, with priced terms of $0.50 per machine per month and $0.044/kWh (14289). The Abu Dhabi arrangement with FS Innovation is a shareholders' agreement rather than an MOU (13074, 13063), but Marathon holds only 20 percent and the disclosed figure is $81,200, a formation-level number that does not support the geographic headline it carries.
Concentration moved sharply in one direction and then partially back. The 2019 posture was a scatter of small Granby vendors; by 2021-2022 essentially all operating capacity routed through Compute North across four instruments, a single point of failure that the March 2023 turn to Applied Digital (13055) implicitly acknowledges.
The arithmetic cannot be reconciled because the announced deals are costs, not revenue: $67 million of hosting, $0.006/kWh at Hardin (14650), and $11,220,000 in stock to Beowulf and 2P1 (14649, 14640) — non-cash consideration funded, ultimately, by the H.C. Wainwright ATM (15202). The supplied record stops at claim 13056 in March 2023; nothing later is assessable here.
Customer disclosures, read
2026-09-20The first thing to say about Marathon's disclosure record is that almost none of it describes customers. The counterparties named across 2019-2023 are vendors, hosts, power suppliers, lenders and a placement agent: Block Maintain for Granby mining operations (15198, 15068, 14859), Chord Advisors for finance (15200, 15070), Securitas Canada for site security (15199, 15069, 14860), ViaBTC as the mining pool (14888), Cumberland DRW as the liquidation venue (14889), and H.C. Wainwright under an At The Market equity agreement (15202) that is capital markets plumbing rather than a commercial relationship at all. Marathon is the payer in essentially every one of these. The only revenue-side item in the entire set is the 30% waterfall interest in the patent special purpose entity (15223), and there the counterparty is the least identified thing on record — the SPE is unnamed, the licensees behind any net proceeds are unnamed, and the entitlement is contingent rather than contracted.
On the signed-versus-soft distinction, the record is cleaner than most: these are executed agreements with dates and terms, not MOUs. The one genuine hedge is the Compute North arrangement, which entered as a binding letter of intent on May 21, 2021 for 73,000 miners (14590, 14331, 14304, 14311) and only became a master agreement on September 3, 2021 with a $14.6 million staged deposit (14333). Diligence should also discount the apparent deal count: the March 9, 2022 filing alone generates roughly ten claim ids (14288-14345) covering four underlying agreements — NYDIG, DMG, Compute North, and hosting economics — so repetition is filing artifact, not deal flow.
Concentration moved sharply and then broke. 2019 is diffuse and small-dollar; 2020-21 concentrates into Beowulf and 2P1 at Hardin, with an exclusive PPA at 30MW scaling to 100MW (14791, 14647, 14639), $0.006/kWh operating cost (14650), and $11.22 million paid in stock rather than cash (14649, 14640); 2021-22 concentrates further into Compute North at $0.044/kWh plus an 82/18 joint venture (14347, 14289); 2023 shows the pivot to Applied Digital (13055) and the Abu Dhabi vehicle with FS Innovation, where Marathon holds only 20% (13063, 13074 — the $81,200 tag there is a label artifact, not deal value).
Nothing here reconciles to revenue because none of it produces revenue. The dollar figures are deposits, licenses and share issuances on the cost side; disclosed revenue arrives as block rewards through ViaBTC (14888), a counterparty that appears exactly once.
Customer disclosures, read
2026-09-19Marathon's record contains essentially no signed customer agreements in the conventional sense, because a bitcoin miner's revenue comes from block rewards rather than from contracted buyers. The nearest thing to a revenue counterparty is ViaBTC, described as the pool that pays a daily reward (claim 14888), with liquidation routed through Cumberland DRW (claim 14889). Neither is framed as a contract with committed volume. Almost everything else on file is supply-side: facility operators, power, hosting, financing and licensing. These include Block Maintain, Securitas Canada and Chord Advisors at Granby (claims 15198-15200, repeated in 15068-15070 and 14859-14860), the H.C. Wainwright ATM (claim 15202), the NYDIG securities loan (claims 14290, 14306) and the DMG Blockseer license (claims 14288, 14305).
On identification, the record is clean. Every counterparty is named, and there are no unidentified 'strategic partners' or 'anchor customers'. The residual opacity is the 2019 patent special purpose entity, in which Marathon holds a 30% waterfall interest but whose other holders are not disclosed (claim 15223).
The signed-versus-soft distinction matters most for Compute North. The 73,000-miner hosting arrangement began as a 'binding letter of intent' (claims 14590, 14304, 14331). It was later supported by a September 2021 master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (claim 14333), stated hosting rates (claim 14289) and an 82/18 joint venture (claim 14347). Readers should note that claims 14304, 14311 and 14331 are the same LOI restated, not three separate deals. Beowulf's Power Purchase Agreement is plainly executed, with a five-year term and 30 MW firm (claims 14791, 14801). However, Phase II up to 100 MW is expansion capacity, not committed load. The Data Facility Services Agreement is described in inconsistent terms across filings. Beowulf and 2P1 appear in claim 14792, and Liefern and 2P1 appear in claim 14756. By 2021 the services are something 2P1 and Liefern 'were t[o]' provide (claim 14734), a tense shift worth diligencing.
Concentration moved from a single Quebec site dependent on Block Maintain (2019), to Beowulf at Hardin (2020), to heavy reliance on Compute North for fleet deployment (2021-22), and then to a minority 20% position in an FS Innovation-controlled Abu Dhabi vehicle (claims 13063, 13084).
The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record. No claim discloses mining revenue, hashrate or pool payouts that could be tied to the announced capacity. Several dollar tags are also ambiguous about units: '$67' (claim 14311), '$500' (claim 14315) and '$81,200' (claim 13074). They should be checked against source filings before anyone relies on them.
Customer disclosures, read
2026-09-18Marathon's record contains no revenue customers in the conventional sense. Every named counterparty is a supplier, host, service provider, financier or co-investor, and the only revenue-side relationship disclosed is the ViaBTC mining pool that pays the company's daily block rewards (claim 14888), with Cumberland DRW named as the liquidity venue for selling bitcoin (claim 14889). Read accordingly, the question is whether these cost-side agreements are signed or aspirational. Most are signed. The Beowulf power purchase agreement is described as entered into, with a five-year initial term and stated extension mechanics (claims 14791, 14801, 14639). The Hardin data facility services agreement with 2P1 and Liefern is dated October 6, 2020 (claims 14738, 14756). The DMG Blockseer licence (claim 14305), the NYDIG securities loan (claim 14290) and the FS Innovation shareholders' agreement (claim 13084) are all executed documents. The main softer instrument is the May 2021 Compute North arrangement. It was a binding letter of intent to host 73,000 miners (claim 14590), later firmed up by a September 2021 master agreement carrying a $14.6 million deposit (claim 14333) and by an 82/18 joint venture (claim 14347). The April 2021 filing refers to services 2P1 and Liefern 'were to' provide (claim 14734). That phrasing suggests the Hardin operating arrangement changed, and the record does not explain how. Every counterparty is named, and the file contains no unnamed 'strategic partner' or 'anchor customer' language. The one exception is the Applied Digital hosting relationship (claim 13055), which is named but has no disclosed terms. Concentration has shifted three times. The first phase was a single Quebec site run by Block Maintain (claim 15198). The second was a Montana dependence on Beowulf for power, land and operations (claims 14791, 14802, 14649). The third was a heavy Compute North concentration covering 73,000 machines. Applied Digital and the Abu Dhabi venture (claims 13055, 13074) show only partial diversification by 2023. The record gives no revenue figures, so the deal arithmetic cannot be reconciled against revenue. The dollar amounts disclosed are outflows or consideration: $67 million of hosting prepayment (claim 14331), $11.22 million in equity paid to Beowulf and 2P1 (claim 14649), and a $500,000 licence (claim 14305). The Abu Dhabi figure is captured as '$81,200' (claim 13074), and its unit is ambiguous. Readers should also note that many claims restate the same four or five agreements across multiple filings, and that the record appears truncated after early 2023.
Customer disclosures, read
2026-09-18Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the conventional sense, and it should not be read as a customer book. As a bitcoin miner, its operating revenue comes from protocol block rewards routed through a mining pool, disclosed as a daily reward from ViaBTC (claim 14888), with liquidation through Cumberland DRW (claim 14889). Nearly every other entry is a supplier, financing, or joint-venture arrangement where Marathon is the paying party: security from Securitas Canada (15199), Granby operations from Block Maintain (15198), financial operations from Chord Advisors (15200), an ATM facility with H.C. Wainwright (15202), and a DMG Blockseer license under which Marathon pays $500,000 (14305). The count is also inflated by repetition across filings. The Beowulf power purchase agreement alone appears as 14791, 14647 and 14639, and the Compute North letter of intent recurs in 14590, 14304, 14311 and 14331.
On signed versus preliminary language, the record is mostly executed documents. The Beowulf PPA is described as entered into, with a five-year term (14801), and the NYDIG securities loan (14290) and the FS Innovation shareholders' agreement (13084) are likewise executed. The main exception is Compute North. It began as a 'binding letter of intent' to host 73,000 miners (14590), and was only later papered as a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (14333) and a 82/18 joint venture (14347). The 2P1/Liefern services agreement warrants attention: a later filing refers to services the parties 'were to provide' (14734), which implies the arrangement did not run as announced. The patent SPE interest (15223) is a contingent 30% waterfall, not a contracted stream.
Every counterparty on record is identified by name, and there are no anonymous 'strategic partners' or 'anchor customers'. Concentration has migrated rather than diversified. Dependence ran from Block Maintain at Granby in 2019, to Beowulf and 2P1 at Hardin in 2020, and then to Compute North as the dominant host in 2021–22. By 2023 it had begun spreading across Applied Digital (13055) and the Abu Dhabi venture with FSI (13074).
The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record. No revenue figures are disclosed, and the dollar amounts that do appear are costs or equity consideration. These include the $11.22 million share issuance to Beowulf and 2P1 (14649) and the Compute North figures, which are inconsistently scaled between $67 (14311) and $67,000,000 (14331). The FSI amount of $81,200 (13074) has an unstated unit. Mined-bitcoin revenue should be tested against hashrate and pool payouts, not against these agreements.
Customer disclosures, read
2026-09-18Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the conventional sense. Mining revenue comes from pool rewards, and the only disclosed revenue-side counterparty is ViaBTC, described as the pool that pays a daily reward (claim 14888). Cumberland DRW is a liquidation venue, not a buyer of services (claim 14889). The rest of the record describes vendors, hosts, power suppliers, financiers and joint-venture partners, so it should be read as a map of supply-side dependencies rather than a demand book.
The record does not lean on anonymous 'strategic partners' or unnamed 'anchor customers'. Every counterparty is identified by legal name, and several items reappear across filings rather than representing new relationships. Block Maintain, Securitas Canada and Chord Advisors appear three times each (claims 15198, 15068, 14859), and the NYDIG loan and DMG licence each recur several times in the March 2022 filing (claims 14290, 14306, 14316, 14345; 14288, 14305, 14315, 14330).
The distinction between executed and preliminary language matters most for Compute North. The 73,000-miner hosting arrangement was first disclosed as a 'binding letter of intent' (claims 14590, 14304, 14331). It was subsequently backed by a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (claim 14333) and an 82/18 joint venture (claim 14347). That sequence is firmer than a bare LOI, but the $67 million headline figure traces to LOI language. Beowulf's power purchase agreement is described as entered into, with a five-year term (claims 14791, 14801). The Hardin operations and maintenance counterparties are named inconsistently: 'Beowulf and 2P1' in some filings (claims 14792, 14649) and '2P1 and Liefern LLC' in others (claims 14756, 14738). The April 2021 wording that services 'were to' be provided (claim 14734) warrants checking for termination. The FS Innovation Abu Dhabi entity rests on a signed shareholders' agreement (claims 12972, 13084).
Concentration has moved through three phases. In 2019 the business depended on one site's vendors at Granby. In 2020 it depended on a single power host at Hardin. From 2021 Compute North became the dominant hosting relationship, before the 2023 FSI venture added a foreign counterparty.
The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record, because no revenue figures are disclosed alongside the deals. Several amounts also lack consistent units. Claims 14311 and 14315 show $67 and $500 against $67,000,000 and $500,000 elsewhere, and the $81,200 attached to claim 13074 has no stated unit and a truncated quote. The claim set also ends mid-2023, so later developments are not covered.
Customer disclosures, read
2026-09-18Marathon's record contains no customer agreements in the conventional sense, which is the first thing a diligence reader should register. A bitcoin miner earns block rewards, and the only revenue-side counterparties named are the ViaBTC mining pool (14888) and Cumberland DRW as the liquidation desk (14889). Every other claim describes a supplier, host, landlord, lender, licensor or joint-venture partner. None of these is a buyer of Marathon's output. Every counterparty is identified by name, and the record contains no unnamed strategic partner or anchor customer. The record is also heavily duplicated: roughly forty claims reduce to about a dozen distinct arrangements.
The signed-versus-soft distinction matters most for Compute North. The 73,000-miner hosting arrangement was first disclosed as a binding letter of intent (14590, 14331, 14311, 14304). A master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit followed (14333), and later an 82/18 joint venture (14347). The record contains nothing on Compute North after March 2022. The Beowulf power purchase agreement is described as entered into, with defined 30 MW and 100 MW phases and a five-year term (14791, 14801, 14639). The Hardin services agreement is signed, but its named parties shift across filings. It lists Beowulf and 2P1 in 14792 and 14649, and Liefern and 2P1 in 14756 and 14738. By April 2021 it is phrased in the past tense, as services that were to be provided (14734), which implies a change the record never explains. The FS Innovation Abu Dhabi venture rests on an executed shareholders' agreement (13056, 12972). The Applied Digital relationship is described only as entering into hosting relationships (13055), with no terms disclosed.
Counterparty concentration has migrated rather than diminished. In 2019 a single Quebec site depended on Block Maintain (15198, 15068). The 2020 build-out depended on Beowulf's Hardin station. In 2021 and 2022 essentially all incremental capacity was routed through Compute North. Only in 2023 do Applied Digital and FSI appear as a second and third leg.
The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record because no revenue figure is disclosed alongside any named deal. The only dollar amounts on record are costs. These are the $67 million Compute North commitment (14331), set against a $14.6 million deposit (14333) that covers only part of it; $11.22 million of equity paid to Beowulf and 2P1 (14649, 14640); and a $500,000 DMG pool licence (14305). Two extraction labels, $500 (14315) and $67 (14311), are unit-dropping errors and should not be relied on.

2026-09-14Marathon's record contains no customer agreements in the conventional sense. Every named counterparty is a supplier, lender, host, licensor or joint-venture partner, and the business earns its revenue from block rewards paid through a mining pool, identified as ViaBTC (14888), with liquidations run through Cumberland DRW (14889). On this record the diligence question is how firm the supply-side relationships are, not how firm demand is.
Most of these agreements read as executed. They include the Beowulf exclusive power purchase agreement, with 30 MW rising to 100 MW over a five-year initial term (14791, 14801), the Hardin land lease (14802), the October 2020 Data Facility Services Agreement (14756, 14738) and the NYDIG securities loan (14306). They also include the $500,000 DMG Blockseer licence (14305) and the H.C. Wainwright ATM (15202). The softer items need care. The Compute North relationship began as a "binding letter of intent" for 73,000 miners (14590), became a master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (14333), and then became an 82/18 joint venture (14347). The Abu Dhabi vehicle with FS Innovation is a shareholders' agreement whose capital contributions remain "subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions" (12972, 12977). The Applied Digital hosting relationship is described only as "entering into" arrangements, with no disclosed terms (13055). The April 2021 restatement of the services agreement shifts to the past tense, saying 2P1 and Liefern "were to" provide services (14734), which suggests those terms were revised.
All counterparties are named, and none are described only as unidentified strategic partners. The March 2022 filings, however, repeat 2021 deals several times over (14304, 14311, 14331; 14288, 14305, 14330; 14290, 14316, 14345). Those repeats should not be read as new relationships.
Operational concentration has moved in steps. In 2019 the company relied on a single Quebec site run by Block Maintain (15198). From late 2020 it depended on Beowulf for power and land at Hardin (14791). During 2021–22 its expansion capacity rested heavily on Compute North (14590, 14347). By 2023 that exposure had spread across Applied Digital and an overseas joint venture (13055, 12972).
The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled, because the record discloses no revenue figures. The dollar amounts are costs: the $67 million hosting prepayment, the $14.6 million deposit, $11.22 million in share-based compensation to Beowulf and 2P1 (14649), and power and operating rates of $0.044/kWh and $0.006/kWh (14289, 14650). The extraction also shows unit errors, with "$67" (14311) and "$500" (14315) appearing where the underlying figures are $67 million and $500,000.

2026-09-14Marathon's record is not a customer book in the conventional sense. A self-mining bitcoin producer earns block rewards through a pool, which here is ViaBTC (14888), so every counterparty on file is a supplier, host, lender, licensor or joint-venture partner rather than a buyer. That framing matters for everything below. The good news on identification is that no counterparty is hidden behind 'strategic partner' or 'anchor customer' language. Every relationship names its entity.
The instruments behind those names vary a great deal. The executed contracts are the Beowulf exclusive Power Purchase Agreement, with a five-year term and extensions (14791, 14801), the adjoining land lease (14802) and the Data Facility Services Agreement dated October 6, 2020 (14738). Also executed are the DMG Blockseer license (14330), the NYDIG Master Securities Loan Agreement (14290), the September 2021 Compute North master agreement carrying a $14.6 million deposit (14333) and the Marathon Compute North 1 LLC joint venture (14347). The first Compute North commitment was only a 'binding letter of intent' for 73,000 miners (14590, 14331). The FS Innovation Abu Dhabi Shareholders' Agreement is signed, but its capital contributions remain 'subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions' (12977). The Securitas, Chord Advisors, Block Maintain, Cumberland DRW and Applied Digital references (14860, 14070, 14068, 14889, 13055) describe working relationships and cite no underlying agreement.
The cast around the Hardin services agreement drifts between filings. The parties are 2P1 and Liefern in 14756 and 14738, but Beowulf and 2P1 in 14649. The April 2021 filing also says services 'were to' be provided (14734), which hints that the agreement was restructured or ended.
Concentration moved in three stages. It began with a Quebec vendor cluster around Granby in 2019, which gave way to dependence on Beowulf's Hardin power and site in 2020. By 2021–22 exposure had shifted to Compute North, which hosted 73,000 miners and received sizable prepayments (14311, 14333). By 2023 the base had broadened to Applied Digital in Texas and North Dakota and to the Abu Dhabi JV (13055, 12951). That broadening lowered single-host risk after Compute North's prominence.
Revenue cannot be reconciled from this record. No revenue figures appear, and the dollar amounts are all cost or capital items. These include $0.006/kWh operating cost (14650), the $0.044/kWh hosting rate (14289), $11.22 million in equity for 3,000,000 shares (14649), $67 million tied to Compute North (14331) and the Abu Dhabi commitment (13074). Amount units are also inconsistent across duplicate extractions: DMG appears as $500,000 in 14330 but '$500' in 14315, Compute North as '$67' in 14311, and Abu Dhabi as '$81,200' in 13074. These figures should be verified against source filings before anyone relies on them. The record also truncates at claim 13056.

2026-09-14Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the conventional sense. As a self-mining bitcoin producer, its revenue comes from block rewards paid through a pool, and nearly every named counterparty here is a supplier, host, lender or co-investor. The closest thing to a revenue counterparty is ViaBTC, which pays the daily mining reward (claim 14888). Cumberland DRW is the liquidation desk (14889). The record should be read as supply-side and financing diligence.
On the signed-versus-soft distinction, the Beowulf power purchase agreement is executed. It commits 30 MW with expansion to 100 MW over a five-year initial term (14791, 14801). It is backed by a land lease (14802) and a Data Facility Services Agreement with 2P1 and Liefern, paid with 3,000,000 shares valued at $11.22 million (14649, 14640, 14738). The Compute North relationship began softer. The 73,000-miner arrangement was a binding letter of intent (14590), and the March 2022 filing still used that label (14304, 14331). It was later reinforced by a September 2021 master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit (14333) and an 82/18 joint venture (14347). The FS Innovation Abu Dhabi vehicle is a signed shareholders' agreement. Its capital contributions, however, are subject to conditions (12977), and Marathon holds only 20% (13063). The Applied Digital arrangement is described only as hosting relationships, with no stated term or value (13055).
Every counterparty in the record is identified by name. No unnamed strategic partners or anchor customers appear. The count overstates breadth, though. The 2022-03-09 cluster restates 2021 agreements with NYDIG, DMG and Compute North several times each (14345, 14306, 14290, 14316; 14305, 14288, 14330).
Concentration has shifted over three phases. From 2020 to 2021 it ran through a small group of Canadian service vendors (14859, 14860) and then the Beowulf/2P1 Hardin complex. From 2021 to 2022, a single host, Compute North, became dominant. In 2023 exposure spread to Applied Digital and the Abu Dhabi joint venture. The record does not show how the Compute North exposure was resolved, and that gap is material.
The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record. No disclosed revenue figures are attached to any agreement, and the stated dollar amounts are costs rather than inflows. Several extracted values also look like unit errors: DMG at $500 versus $500,000 (14315 vs 14305), Compute North at $67 versus $67,000,000 (14311 vs 14331), and FSI at $81,200, which is likely in thousands (13074). The input is also truncated at claim 12687, so later agreements are not assessed here.

2026-09-14The first thing to understand about MARA's record is that almost none of it describes customers. The company earns revenue from bitcoin mining, and the named counterparties are mostly suppliers, hosts, lenders, licensors or joint-venture partners. The only company-to-customer language on record is prospective AI/HPC tenancy, and no tenant has been named. That said, the record is unusually free of anonymous "anchor customer" framing. Every counterparty is identified: Compute North, DMG Blockchain, NYDIG, FS Innovation, Applied Digital, Auradine, TAE Power Solutions, EDF Pulse Ventures, Starwood and MPLX. What goes unidentified is the demand side of the Starwood platform.
The binding status varies. Compute North began as a binding letter of intent to host 73,000 miners (claims 14590, 14331, 14304). It became a signed master agreement with a $14.6 million deposit and stated per-kWh terms (14333, 14289), then an 82/18 joint venture (14347). The DMG Blockseer license (14330, 14288, 14305) and the NYDIG securities loan, in which MARA is the lender (14345, 14290, 14316, 14306), are executed contracts. The FS Innovation Abu Dhabi shareholders' agreement is signed, but its capital contributions are conditional (12951, 12977, 13063). Applied Digital appears only as a hosting relationship being entered into (13055). Auradine is a related-party governance tie rather than a disclosed commercial contract (12692, 12687). TAE is a headline partnership with no terms on record (9272). The EDF Pulse agreement is an equity investment in Exaion (9271). Starwood is an executed Strategic Agreement (3660, 11780). Its economics are elective: MARA takes a 10% to 50% interest in each joint venture, and Starwood serves as managing member (3662, 3663). The 2.5 GW figure is a target cited in secondary commentary (926, 7504), and the platform is described as "expected" (11784). MPLX is explicitly at the discussions stage and is framed as a longer-term initiative (11789).
Counterparty concentration has swung from one partner to several and back again. In 2021 and 2022, MARA's infrastructure depended heavily on Compute North. In 2023 it spread across Applied Digital and the Abu Dhabi joint venture. The 2026 Starwood agreement recentralizes the business, because it covers all U.S. properties outside existing joint ventures (3661) and gives Starwood control of permitting and power procurement (3665).
The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled from this record. No disclosed revenue is attributable to any announced deal other than NYDIG's 3% interest. The "$67,000,000" label on 14331 and 14311 is not visible in the quoted text. Claim 14315 records the DMG fee as $500 while sibling claims record $500,000. The date of 11780 (February 25) also conflicts with the filing date of February 26 (3660).

2026-09-14Marathon's record contains almost no customer agreements in the revenue sense. As a bitcoin miner, its named counterparties are hosting providers, lenders, licensors, and joint-venture partners, so the question is less whether customers are signed and more whether partnership language implies commitments that have not been made. The claim count also overstates breadth: the NYDIG bitcoin loan appears four times (14345, 14290, 14316, 14306), the DMG Blockseer license four times (14305, 14330, 14315, 14288), and the FS Innovation Abu Dhabi venture seven times (13074, 13084, 12951, 12972, 13063, 12977, 13056).
The firmest instruments are the NYDIG Master Securities Loan Agreement, the $500,000 DMG license (14315's "$500" appears to be an extraction artifact), and the 82/18 Marathon Compute North 1 LLC (14347). The Compute North hosting arrangement was a "binding letter of intent" for 73,000 miners (14304, 14331), later backed by a $14.6 million master-agreement deposit (14333) and priced terms (14289). It is binding, but the filings still call it an LOI. The Abu Dhabi entity is a signed Shareholders' Agreement, but Marathon holds 20% (13063) and contributions are "subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions" (12977). The Applied Digital hosting "relationships" (13055) and the TAE Power Solutions partnership (9272) carry no disclosed terms. Auradine (12687, 12692) is a related-party governance tie, not a commercial contract. The MPLX West Texas campus is explicitly "discussions" and "a longer-term initiative" (11789).
Every counterparty is named. The gap sits one level down. The Starwood announcement promises "Hyperscale, Enterprise and AI Capable" infrastructure (9267) and targets up to 2.5 gigawatts (7504, 926) or more than a gigawatt near term (2946), yet no tenant or offtaker is identified. The signed Strategic Agreement (3660) lets Marathon elect only a 10% to 50% interest in each venture (3662), makes Starwood the managing member (3663), and leaves permitting and power procurement to Starwood's pre-development work (3665). The EDF Pulse Ventures agreement (9271) is capital coming into the Exaion subsidiary, not a sale of compute.
Concentration has moved in stages. Compute North dominated in 2021–22, FSI and Applied Digital followed in 2023, and Starwood has anchored the AI/HPC narrative since February 2026. None of the claims on record discloses revenue, contracted backlog, or megawatt pricing, so the announced deals cannot be reconciled with reported revenue. Any Starwood economics would flow at the joint-venture level and be diluted by Marathon's elected stake. The claim list supplied was truncated at claim 3661, so later disclosures may change this read.

2026-09-13Across this record, Marathon has not disclosed a single signed customer agreement for AI or HPC capacity. What it has signed are joint-venture, investment and supplier-side documents, and the remaining items are letters of intent, 'discussions' or unnamed interest. The executed paper starts with the January 27, 2023 Shareholders' Agreement with FS Innovation for the Abu Dhabi mining entity (13074, 12951). In that entity Marathon held 20% against FSI's 80% (13063), and capital contributions were conditional (12977). The Applied Digital arrangement (13055) runs the other way, with Marathon buying hosting rather than selling it. Auradine is a related-party link through Fred Thiel's board seat (12687, 12692), not a commercial counterparty. The EDF Pulse Ventures document (9271) is an investment agreement in Exaion, which brings capital in rather than revenue. The TAE Power Solutions announcement (9272) uses partnership language with no disclosed terms.
The Starwood Strategic Agreement of February 26, 2026 is signed (3660), but it is a framework. It covers essentially all U.S. properties outside existing joint ventures (3661). Marathon will elect a 10% to 50% interest in each joint venture (3662), with Starwood as managing member (3663) and responsible for permits and power (3665). Marathon keeps its mining rights under a rent-free lease (3666). MPLX has moved in the opposite direction. It was described as a letter of intent (3524, 3513, 3497, 3503), and in February 2026 it was described as ongoing 'discussions' on a longer-term initiative requiring significant capital (11789). East Ohio Valley Railway is at the 'reasonable best efforts to negotiate' stage (1873). The Hannibal site at Long Ridge cites inbound interest from 'multiple potential investment-grade AI/Critical IT tenants' but names none of them (9414, 10655). The tenant expectation in claim 935 is truncated in the record and cannot be assessed.
Concentration has narrowed sharply over time. In 2023 the record showed one named joint-venture partner and one hosting vendor. In 2026 Starwood accounts for most of the new claims, many of them duplicates (3493, 3501, 3511, 3527, 9267), and controls development across the U.S. footprint. The disclosed figures do not reconcile to revenue because no contract value, tenor, pricing or megawatt-to-dollar rate appears anywhere. The one dollar figure, $81,200 in claim 13074, carries no stated unit. Capacity targets are also inconsistent, with 'up to 2.5 gigawatts' in 926 and 7504 against 'more than a gigawatt near term' in 2946. Combined with the 10% to 50% election, Marathon's attributable share could fall anywhere from roughly 100 megawatts to 1.25 gigawatts. None of that capacity is yet tied to a named tenant.

2026-09-13MARA's record contains no signed customer agreement for AI or HPC compute. The one executed, filed instrument is the February 26, 2026 Strategic Agreement between MARA USA Corporation and Starwood Capital Group (claim 3660). It is a development framework, not a customer contract. MARA contributes its U.S. mining sites outside existing third-party joint ventures (3661) and elects a 10% to 50% interest in each future joint venture (3662, 3494). Starwood acts as managing member (3663) and performs pre-development work, including permits and power procurement (3665). The individual joint ventures are still to be formed, and the 2.5 gigawatt figure is a target (926, 7504, 8403), set against a nearer-term goal of more than one gigawatt (2946). Everything else on file is weaker. MPLX appears first as ongoing discussions that management itself calls longer-term (11789) and then as a letter of intent (3513, 3497). The EDF Pulse Ventures agreement is an investment in the Exaion subsidiary rather than a purchase of services (9271). The TAE Power Solutions announcement gives no economic terms (9272). The Auradine ties are related-party relationships, with a board seat and an executive's roughly 5% shareholding (12687, 12692). The East Ohio Valley Railway item commits the parties only to reasonable best efforts to negotiate (1873). Every actual tenant remains unnamed. The Hannibal site at Long Ridge has drawn inbound interest from multiple potential investment-grade tenants (9414, 10655). A later site has interest from potential HPC tenants (8906). Management also expects to have a tenant in place around closing (935). The Abu Dhabi joint venture partner was never identified (12646). The 70% of Long Ridge output contracted long-term is a power offtake with unnamed counterparties, not compute demand (8504). Counterparty concentration has narrowed from a scattered 2023 to 2025 set to a near-total reliance on Starwood, which now frames development of roughly 90% of non-hosted capacity under consideration (9201, 8905, 8501). Lease guidance has also shifted, from one or more leases by year-end (9198) and at least one (11582) to at least two (8502), with no lessee named at any point. No disclosed contracted revenue, lease rate, or megawatt commitment is tied to a named counterparty, so the revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled with the announced deals. On the record, the AI/HPC revenue base under these announcements is zero, and every gigawatt figure is capacity ambition.

2026-09-13Marathon Digital's record contains no signed customer agreement in the revenue-paying sense. The one executed contract is the February 26, 2026 Strategic Agreement with Starwood Capital Group and Starwood Digital Ventures (claim 3660), and it is a development and capital arrangement rather than a customer contract. The filing language places Starwood as managing member of each joint venture (claim 3663) and makes it responsible for pre-development, permitting and power procurement (claim 3665). MARA elects a 10% to 50% interest (claims 3662, 3494) and contributes its existing US mining sites (claim 3661). The EDF Pulse Ventures agreement (claim 9271) is also signed, but it is an equity investment in the Exaion subsidiary, not a purchase of services. The TAE Power Solutions 'partnership' (claim 9272) carries no disclosed terms. The Abu Dhabi joint venture (claim 12646) names a jurisdiction but no counterparty. MPLX sits clearly on the non-binding side. It is described as a letter of intent (claims 3503, 3513) and, in management's own words, as continuing 'discussions' on 'a longer-term initiative' (claim 11789).
The counterparties that would actually generate AI/HPC revenue remain unnamed. Management cites 'inbound interest from multiple potential investment-grade AI/Critical IT tenants' at Hannibal (claims 9414, 10655) and 'interest from potential HPC tenants' at the newer site (claim 8906). It also says it 'expects to have a tenant in place' around the Long Ridge close (claim 935). The stated contracted share of Long Ridge's power output, above 70% (claim 8504), likewise comes without buyers or tenor. The Long Ridge acquisition itself is still pending (claim 1214), and its ancillary railroad terms remain at 'reasonable best efforts to negotiate' (claim 1873).
Concentration has narrowed sharply. A scattered set of mining, grid and investment relationships in 2023–2025 has given way to a strategy routed almost entirely through Starwood. Roughly 90% of non-hosted capacity is 'being considered' for conversion (claim 9201). Much of the apparent Starwood volume is repetition rather than new deals: third-party restatements (claims 926, 7504, 8403, 7973, 8246, 8244, 1214) echo the same February agreement. Claim 9090 dates a 'launch' to February 1, weeks before the agreement was signed, which looks like a date error rather than a separate event.
The revenue arithmetic cannot be reconciled because no lease revenue, pricing or megawatts under contract has been disclosed. The capacity headline varies by source, from 'up to 2.5 gigawatts' (claims 926, 8403) to 'more than a gigawatt near term' (claim 2946). The lease-signing goal moved from 'one or more tenant leases by year-end' (claims 9198, 11582) to 'at least 2 leases before year end' (claim 8502). The target rose even though no tenant had been identified.

2026-09-13Marathon Digital's announced partnerships reveal substantial disclosure gaps between definitive commitments and forward-looking discussions. The Starwood Digital Ventures strategic agreement, executed February 26, 2026 (claims 3660, 3661, 3662, 3663, 3665, 3493, 3494, 3501, 3511, 3527), represents the sole major signed deal, establishing MARA's 10-50% ownership in joint ventures with Starwood as managing member developing up to 2.5 gigawatts of AI/HPC capacity. Named counterparties are limited: TAE Power Solutions (claim 9272, partnership rhetoric without revenue disclosure) and EDF Pulse Ventures (claim 9271, investment agreement in subsidiary Exaion). By contrast, Long Ridge tenant claims reference only "multiple potential investment-grade AI/Critical IT tenants" (claims 9414, 10655) and claims 7670 alludes vaguely to "partnerships with leading AI and grid management companies," neither identifying actual customers. The MPLX relationship remains unexecuted; claims 3513, 3524, 3503, and 3497 explicitly designate this a "letter of intent," while claim 11789 concedes West Texas discussions "remain a longer-term initiative" requiring "significant" capital.
Starwood dominance defines counterparty concentration. This single entity appears across roughly 30 claims spanning infrastructure, ownership, and tenant expectations, with MARA structurally subordinated as minority owner (10-50%) while Starwood controls managing member status and operational decisions. This concentration amplifies execution dependency on a single partner.
No revenue figures reconcile against announced partnerships. Claims 9198, 11582, and 8502 project future lease signings—"expectations" to sign "at least 2 leases" by year-end—without documenting executed customer contracts. Long Ridge, repeatedly cited as receiving "inbound interest" since April 2026, presents no named tenant despite sustained management signaling of imminent signings. Neither the Starwood joint venture nor Long Ridge generates disclosed revenue contribution. The persistent gap between announced strategic scope and actual customer capture—particularly given Starwood's structural dominance over MARA's AI/HPC strategy—signals material execution risk and opacity regarding whether marketed infrastructure capacity will translate to near-term revenue accretion.

2026-09-12Marathon Digital's disclosed partnership activity reveals a sharp distinction between formally executed agreements and preliminary discussions. The Starwood Capital Group/Starwood Digital Ventures strategic agreement, signed February 26, 2026 (claims 3660, 3493, 3501), constitutes MARA's sole named, signed customer-facing arrangement of material scale. This agreement specifies binding terms: joint venture structure with MARA retaining 10–50% ownership, Starwood as managing member, up to 2.5 gigawatts of capacity, and MARA's retention of existing mining rights via rent-free lease (claims 3662, 3663, 3665, 3666). EDF Pulse Ventures represents a signed investment agreement in MARA's Exaion subsidiary (claim 9271), though this is a capital transaction rather than a customer relationship. By contrast, TAE Power Solutions is described only as a "partner" for a grid efficiency platform (claim 9272) without indication of contract execution or binding terms. The MPLX LP arrangement is explicitly styled a "letter of intent" (claims 3513, 3524), signaling pre-contractual status and no firm commitment. Tenant-level customer acquisition remains entirely unnamed. MARA repeatedly emphasizes inbound interest from "multiple potential investment-grade AI/Critical IT tenants" (claims 9414, 10655) and "potential High-Performance Computing tenants" (claim 8906), yet no specific customers are identified. Management expressed confidence in signing "at least 2 leases before year end" 2026 (claim 8502), and separately committed to "one or more tenant leases by year-end" (claim 9198), but these are forward-looking aspirations, not executed deals. Counterparty concentration has consolidated dramatically around Starwood, which accounts for the majority of capacity and partnership announcements by mid-2026, effectively replacing diversified small-scale partnerships. Revenue reconciliation presents a material gap: MARA discloses no customer revenue attributable to any announced deal. Infrastructure announcements emphasize capacity targets (2.5 GW under Starwood) and Long Ridge's 70% contracted power (claim 8504), but fail to translate these into named customer contracts or revenue guidance. The repeated emphasis on tenant-signing targets by year-end, coupled with the complete absence of named customers or revenue confirmation, suggests that despite high-profile Starwood execution, MARA's underlying revenue-generating customer base remains undisclosed and possibly not yet committed.

2026-09-12Marathon Digital has disclosed a limited set of definitively signed customer agreements versus substantially more material announcements framed as partnerships or frameworks. The Strategic Agreement with Starwood Capital Group and Starwood Digital Ventures (claims 3660, 3511) constitutes the sole signed major infrastructure partnership, with Marathon retaining 10-50% ownership in joint ventures while Starwood serves as managing member and handles day-to-day development (claims 3663, 3665). By contrast, the 2026-03-01 Letter of Intent with MPLX LP for power access (claims 3513, 3524) explicitly represents non-binding dialogue rather than committed offtake or capacity. The EDF Pulse Ventures investment in the Exaion subsidiary (claim 9271) is described as signed but narrowly scoped to capital deployment, not operational customer relationships. The TAE Power Solutions partnership (claim 9272) contains no deal-structure language and reads as a joint product announcement absent contractual specificity.
Counterparty concentration has become acute. Starwood dominates Marathon's announced partnership narrative, appearing across 20+ claims spanning February through August 2026, effectively collapsing multiple announcements into a single underlying Strategic Agreement. By contrast, Marathon names no operational AI or HPC tenants; all references to "investment-grade AI/Critical IT tenants" (claims 9414, 10655) or "potential High-Performance Computing tenants" (claim 8906) remain unnamed and described as "inbound interest" or "potential" rather than signed leases. The Long Ridge facility announcements (claims 9414, 935) project a tenant placement by year-end 2026 but cite no executed agreement as of August 2026. The August 2026 statement that Marathon "remain[s] confident in [its] ability to sign at least 2 leases before year end" (claim 8502) restates an expectation, not a closed deal.
No claims disclose revenue, contract values, or financial contribution from any announced partnership or potential tenant, rendering reconciliation impossible. The disclosed metrics focus exclusively on capacity (gigawatts) and ownership percentages within joint ventures (claims 3662), not realized or projected customer revenue. This represents a material gap between partnership announcements and financial substance—the firm is announcing infrastructure framework agreements and stating lease-signing intentions without quantifying customer commitments or revenue streams underlying its AI/HPC pivot.

2026-09-11Marathon Digital's disclosed partnership and customer announcements reveal a significant gap between stated capacity development and actual signed revenue-generating agreements. Of the named counterparties, only Starwood Digital Ventures and Starwood Capital Group represent a formalized contractual relationship—structured as a strategic agreement (claims 3660, 3493, 3501) establishing joint ventures where MARA retains 10–50% ownership interest while Starwood manages operations and engineering. This arrangement is fundamentally a capital and development partnership, not a customer agreement. EDF Pulse Ventures represents an investment in MARA's Exaion subsidiary (claim 9271), which is financial in nature. TAE Power Solutions is described only as a 'partner' for a grid efficiency platform (claim 9272) without contractual detail. Critically, the MPLX LP relationship remains a letter of intent as of March 2026 (claims 3513, 3503, 3524)—not signed—despite repeated claims framing it as an announced commitment.
The actual end-customer landscape is almost entirely unnamed. MARA describes receiving 'inbound interest from multiple potential investment-grade AI/Critical IT tenants' at its Hannibal facility (claims 9414, 10655) and 'interest from potential High-Performance Computing tenants' at other sites (claim 8906), but provides no customer names or signed lease commitments. Forward-looking statements reference expectations to 'sign one or more tenant leases by year-end' (claim 9198, dated May 2026) and confidence in signing 'at least 2 leases before year end' (claim 8502, dated August 2026)—these are forecasts, not closed deals.
Counterparty concentration is extreme. From February 2026 onward, the Starwood partnership dominates every major announcement, with 26 distinct claim IDs referencing the same February 26 strategic agreement and its ongoing implications. No other customer or partner achieves comparable visibility. Revenue reconciliation is impossible: no revenue figures are disclosed anywhere in the dataset, and no signed customer agreements are named. The disclosed arithmetic centers on capacity targets (2.5 gigawatts via Starwood, claims 7504, 926, 7505, 8403) and power contracted under long-term agreements at Long Ridge (over 70%, claim 8504), but these do not constitute actual data center tenant revenue. MARA's expansion narrative rests substantially on prospective customer relationships and named-partner development capacity rather than executed customer contracts.

2026-09-11Marathon Digital's customer and partnership disclosures over 2025-2026 reveal a sharp distinction between signed agreements and preliminary commitments. Only two material deals qualify as executed contracts: the EDF Pulse Ventures investment agreement in the Exaion subsidiary (claim 9271, signed 2025-08-11) and the Starwood Capital Group / Starwood Digital Ventures strategic agreement (claims 3660-3663, executed February 26, 2026). The Starwood deal includes specific operational terms—MARA retains 10-50% ownership in joint ventures, Starwood serves as managing member, and detailed pre-development obligations are enumerated. By contrast, TAE Power Solutions (claim 9272) is described only as a "partnership" without evidence of a signed agreement, and MPLX LP (claims 3513, 3524, 3503, 3497) is explicitly identified as a "letter of intent," not a binding contract. Across claims dated March-August 2026, MARA repeatedly references "multiple potential investment-grade AI/Critical IT tenants" (claims 9414, 10655) and expects "one or more tenant leases by year-end" (claim 9198, 8502), yet no tenant names appear in the record. Claims 9201 and 8501 shift language to describe Starwood as enabling customer "confidence in execution" rather than guaranteeing customer wins. Counterparty concentration is extreme: Starwood dominates 16 of the 41 claims, appearing in every major announcement from February onward (claims 2946, 3660-3666, 3501, 3511, 3527-3528, 8403, 8246, 1214, 603, 7557, 7505). This concentration intensifies after the February strategic agreement. Revenue reconciliation is impossible because no financial figures are disclosed. Claims reference "2.5 gigawatts of capacity," "70% of Long Ridge's power output contracted" (claim 8504), and expected lease signings, but no dollar values, AUM, or revenue numbers appear. The pattern suggests MARA has one signed infrastructure partnership (Starwood), one signed capital partner (EDF), one preliminary supply commitment (MPLX LOI), and zero named revenue-generating tenant customers as of August 2026, despite 18 months of announcements.

2026-09-10Marathon Digital's partnership announcements from 2025 through mid-2026 reveal a sharp distinction between signed infrastructure agreements and prospective customer commitments. The February 26, 2026 Strategic Agreement with Starwood Capital Group and Starwood Digital Ventures (claims 3660, 3511, 3493, 3501) represents the sole large-scale, formally executed arrangement on record. That deal specifies MARA will retain 10–50% ownership in joint ventures targeting up to 2.5 gigawatts of AI and HPC capacity, with Starwood as managing member and responsible for development, permitting, and procurement (claims 3662, 3663, 3665). This is architecturally a capital partnership, not a customer contract. By contrast, the March 1, 2026 announcement involving MPLX LP is explicitly a letter of intent (claims 3513, 3524, 3497, 3503)—an early-stage framework lacking binding commitment. Earlier partnerships with TAE Power Solutions (claim 9272, June 2025) and an investment agreement with EDF Pulse Ventures in Exaion (claim 9271, August 2025) involved named counterparties but remain vaguely described as partnership and investment arrangements without customer-revenue clarity. The narrative's largest void concerns tenant relationships at the Long Ridge facility. MARA disclosed "inbound interest from multiple potential investment-grade AI/Critical IT tenants" (claims 9414, 10655, April 2026) and stated an expectation to sign "one or more tenant leases by year-end" (claim 9198, May 2026; claim 8502, August 2026). No tenant names appear in any claim; these remain prospective and unsigned as of the August 2026 cutoff. Separately, claim 8504 reports that 70% of Long Ridge's power output is "contracted under long-term agreements" but identifies no counterparties. Counterparty concentration is extreme: Starwood dominates the disclosed framework across 23+ claims spanning infrastructure development and customer confidence rhetoric. MARA has publicly announced zero named customer contracts and only one LOI with MPLX. Revenue reconciliation is impossible. The company reports no customer revenue figures against the announced capacity, partnerships, or tenant pipelines. Starwood appears to be a capital vehicle and development collaborator rather than a revenue-generating customer, and the Long Ridge tenant pipeline remains unbooked and unidentified. The entirety of MARA's commercial disclosures consists of infrastructure partnerships and prospective capacity rather than confirmed revenue agreements.

2026-09-09Marathon Digital's partnership announcements from June 2025 through August 2026 conflate three distinct commitment levels, creating narrative fog around actual customer wins. The EDF Pulse Ventures investment agreement of August 2025 (claim 9271) represents a true signed deal—capital deployment into the Exaion subsidiary. The Starwood partnership, announced February 26, 2026 and reiterated through August (claims 3660, 3501, 3527, 8501), is also signed but structurally distinct: MARA contributes properties and retains 10–50% ownership in joint ventures managed entirely by Starwood (claims 3662–3663), making this a capital and operational control handoff rather than a customer relationship. In contrast, MARA's March 1, 2026 announcement with MPLX LP is explicitly a letter of intent (claims 3513, 3524, 3503, 3497)—no signed agreement exists, only "reasonable best efforts" language around future negotiations for natural gas and power capacity. TAE Power Solutions, cited June 3, 2025 (claim 9272), uses vague "partner" language without clarifying whether a binding agreement exists. Long Ridge tenant discussions epitomize the vagueness: MARA reports "multiple potential investment-grade AI/Critical IT tenants" with "inbound interest" (claim 9414) and states confidence in signing "at least 2 leases before year end" (claim 8502), yet names no customers and treats lease signings as forward expectations rather than accomplished commitments (claims 9198, 935). Starwood dominance pervades the portfolio—appearing in 20+ claims from February onward—yet represents joint venture architecture, not contracted customer revenue. The entire disclosure lacks revenue reconciliation; no customer contract values, revenue guidance, or lineage between announced capacity (2.5 gigawatts from Starwood) and actual contracted customer commitments appear in any claim. TAE Power, EDF (confined to a subsidiary), and the unnamed Long Ridge tenants constitute the only distinct counterparties. MARA conflates partnership announcements with customer wins, frames aspirational tenant discussions as strategic achievements, and discloses zero customer revenue, making it impossible to reconcile the narrative of customer momentum with actual signed customer economics.

2026-09-09Marathon Digital's partnership announcements from mid-2025 through August 2026 reveal a sharp distinction between executed agreements and forward-looking commitments, with pronounced concentration risk emerging around a single counterparty. The company has disclosed two clearly signed agreements: an investment agreement with EDF Pulse Ventures in the Exaion subsidiary (claim 9271, August 2025) and a strategic agreement with Starwood Digital Ventures dated February 26, 2026 (claims 3660, 3511, 3493). The Starwood Strategic Agreement includes binding specifics—joint venture ownership capped at 10–50%, Starwood's role as managing member, contribution of identified US data center assets, and defined pre-development and operational obligations (claims 3661–3665)—distinguishing it from framework language. By contrast, the March 1, 2026 letter of intent with MPLX LP (claims 3513, 3524, 3503, 3497) is explicitly non-binding and targets only future negotiation of natural gas and power arrangements. TAE Power Solutions' June 2025 partnership (claim 9272) lacks contractual specificity and remains ambiguously described. The East Ohio Valley Railway arrangement (claim 1873) uses aspirational "best efforts" language characteristic of LOI rather than executed terms.
Counterparty concentration has shifted dramatically toward Starwood, which dominates announcements from February 2026 forward across at least twenty distinct claims—often restating the same February 26 announcement (claims 7504, 9267, 2946, 8403, 8501, 7505, 7557, 603, 579). This concentration extends to strategic positioning: claims 9201 and 8246 position Starwood as central to the company's pivot toward AI and HPC infrastructure. Notably, tenant commitments remain prospective: claims 9414, 8906 reference "potential" tenants with "inbound interest," while claims 935, 9198, 8502 describe "expectations" to sign leases by year-end 2026, using conditional language rather than naming executed counterparties. Generic references to "multiple potential investment-grade AI/Critical IT tenants" (claim 9414) and "leading AI and grid management companies" (claim 7670) disclose no named customers.
No revenue figures appear in the disclosed claims, making it impossible to verify whether announced megawatt deployments or joint venture structures reconcile to any quantified revenue guidance or backlog. The absence of named end-customers, combined with the reliance on Starwood as development partner rather than revenue customer, leaves the commercialization pathway opaque. Marathon's deal-making architecture appears heavily dependent on Starwood execution and tenant acquisition by year-end 2026, neither of which has been contractually consummated.

2026-09-09Marathon Digital's disclosed partnership announcements conflate several distinct deal structures that require careful separation. The company has signed a formal strategic agreement with Starwood Capital Group and its Starwood Digital Ventures platform, announced February 26, 2026 across claims 3660-3663, 3493-3494, and 3511. This is the only named customer agreement presented as signed. However, this is structurally a joint venture in which MARA contributes assets and retains 10-50% ownership while Starwood assumes managing member and operational control—it is not a traditional customer revenue agreement. EDF Pulse Ventures signed an investment agreement in MARA's Exaion subsidiary (claim 9271, August 2025), but this is a capital partner investment, not a customer engagement. TAE Power Solutions is described only as a partner (claim 9272, June 2025) with no substance on contractual commitment. MPLX LP is explicitly a letter of intent, not a signed agreement (claims 3513, 3524, 3497, 3503, March 2026).
The concentration risk is extreme. Starwood appears in over twenty claims spanning six months, dominating all announced AI and HPC infrastructure development. No other named counterparty approaches this significance. The company describes multiple potential investment-grade AI and Critical IT tenants (claim 9414, April 2026) and potential High-Performance Computing tenants (claim 8906, July 2026), but these remain prospects. May 2026 guidance expressed confidence in signing one or more tenant leases by year-end (claim 9198); by August this refined to at least two leases before year-end (claim 8502), suggesting none were signed at announcement. The Long Ridge facility cites more than seventy percent of power output contracted under long-term agreements (claim 8504, August 2026), but this refers to underlying power capacity, not customer data center leases.
No revenue figures are disclosed to reconcile against announced deal sizes or capacity targets (2.5 gigawatts cited repeatedly across claims 926, 7504, 7505). Generic references to leading AI and grid management companies (claim 7670, August 2026) obscure the actual customer concentration. The portfolio appears entirely dependent on Starwood's execution and tenant recruitment, with no independent customer commitment yet materialized into signed leases.

2026-09-09Marathon Digital's partnership landscape reveals significant gaps between contractual commitments and prospective engagement. The company has named four distinct counterparties with publicly disclosed relationships: Starwood Digital Ventures and Starwood Capital Group (strategic agreement announced February 26, 2026, claims 3660–3663), EDF Pulse Ventures in the Exaion subsidiary (investment agreement, claim 9271), TAE Power Solutions (partnership claim 9272), and MPLX LP (letter of intent, claims 3503, 3513). However, the binding force of these relationships diverges materially. The Starwood strategic agreement, detailed across claims 3493–3501, represents a signed binding arrangement specifying joint venture structures, ownership stakes between 10–50 percent, and defined roles for engineering and construction, making this an executed partnership. The EDF Pulse transaction similarly constitutes a signed investment agreement. By contrast, MPLX remains explicitly a letter of intent—a pre-contractual instrument with no binding obligation to close (claims 3524, 3497). The TAE Power Solutions relationship is described only as a partnership without documentation of execution or financial terms (claim 9272).
Counterparty concentration has undergone dramatic consolidation. Before March 2026, MARA disclosed relationships with multiple parties (TAE, EDF, MPLX) suggesting diversified partnerships. Since the February 2026 Starwood announcement, Starwood dominates MARA's public disclosures, appearing across dozens of claims through August 2026 (3493, 3501, 7504, 8501, 8403, 7465, 579). This concentration is compounded by reliance on unnamed prospective tenants. Claims 9414 and 8906 reference inbound interest from multiple potential AI and high-performance computing tenants but identify no specific counterparties. The Long Ridge facility tenant pipeline remains unnamed and conditional: claims 935 and 9198 state MARA expects and remains confident in lease signings by year-end 2026, but no tenant has been named or contracted. On revenue reconciliation, the disclosed claims contain no financial figures, contracted amounts, or pricing terms for any announced relationship. Capacity targets are stated—2.5 gigawatts for Starwood, 70 percent of Long Ridge power contracted (claim 8504)—but unmoored from revenue or profitability metrics, preventing verification that announced partnerships translate to material disclosed revenue impact.

2026-09-08Marathon Digital's partnership and customer announcements reveal a critical distinction between executed agreements and unsigned frameworks, alongside acute counterparty identification gaps. Of the named counterparties, only Starwood Digital Ventures and Starwood Capital Group represent a clearly signed strategic agreement, explicitly documented as entered into on February 26, 2026 (claims 3660, 3493, 3501, 3511, 3527). The EDF Pulse Ventures investment agreement (claim 9271) is signed, but it resides in the Exaion subsidiary rather than core MARA operations. TAE Power Solutions (claim 9272) uses non-binding partnership language without execution language. Most critically, MPLX LP is explicitly a letter of intent (claims 3513, 3503, 3497, 3524)—unsigned and non-binding, announced March 1, 2026 for natural gas and power access.
Counterparty concentration is dominated by Starwood across 24+ claims spanning February through August 2026. This single relationship encompasses up to 2.5 gigawatts of capacity (claims 7504, 926, 8403, 7505), joint venture structures with 10-50% MARA ownership (claim 3662), and Starwood as managing member controlling day-to-day operations (claim 3663). All other end customers remain entirely unnamed. MARA references "investment-grade AI/Critical IT tenants" (claim 9414), "potential High-Performance Computing tenants" (claim 8906), and vague "partnerships with leading AI and grid management companies" (claim 7670)—none with identified counterparty names. Expected lease signings cite targets of "one or more tenant leases by year-end" (claim 9198) and "at least 2 leases before year end" (claim 8502), yet provide no tenant identities.
Revenue reconciliation is impossible. No announced partnerships disclose revenue, deal values, or committed capacity pricing. Long Ridge shows 70% power output under "long term agreements" (claim 8504), but neither capacity volume nor pricing is disclosed. Starwood's 2.5 gigawatt target represents capability, not booked revenue. The absence of named end-customer contracts, combined with repeated aspirational language around tenant interest and lease signatures, suggests MARA's revenue-generating customer relationships remain unsigned or unannounced. The bulk of external communications describe partnership infrastructure and development frameworks rather than executed commercial agreements generating disclosed revenue.

2026-09-07Marathon Digital's partnership announcements reveal a stark concentration risk masked by volumetric claim repetition. Of genuinely binding customer agreements, only two qualify as signed: the February 2026 Strategic Agreement with Starwood Capital Group and Starwood Digital Ventures (claims 3660, 3662-3666), and the August 2025 investment agreement with EDF Pulse Ventures in the Exaion subsidiary (claim 9271). The Starwood deal dominates the disclosure record—appearing across 25+ claims—yet consists of a joint venture structure where MARA retains only 10-50% ownership and cedes operational control to Starwood as managing member (claims 3662, 3663). This is not a customer agreement but a development partnership with diluted upside. The MPLX LP announcement (claims 3497, 3513, 3524) is explicitly a letter of intent, not binding, targeting natural gas and power access. TAE Power Solutions, named in June 2025 (claim 9272), receives no subsequent mention, suggesting dormancy or limited materiality.
Counterparty concentration has tightened sharply around Starwood since February 2026. Claims describing unnamed "partnerships with leading AI and grid management companies" (claim 7670) and "potential High-Performance Computing tenants" (claim 8906) remain entirely unidentified. The Long Ridge facility exemplifies this pattern: MARA promised tenant leases signed by year-end 2026 (claims 9198, 8502), yet as of August 2026, no named customers appear. Claims cite "70% of Long Ridge's power output contracted" (claim 8504) but provide no customer names or revenue figures.
The revenue arithmetic fails to reconcile with announced deal scale. MARA cites capacity targets (2.5 GW under Starwood; claims 7504, 8403) and power-contracting percentages, yet discloses no revenue recognition, customer identification for hyperscale tenants, or signed lease revenue impact. The Starwood agreement itself generates no direct customer revenue—instead defining a 10-50% minority ownership in joint ventures where Starwood controls engineering, procurement, and construction (claims 3665, 3666). This leaves MARA's actual end-customer pipeline entirely unnamed and aspirational. The distinction between a strategic partnership announcement and a revenue-generating customer agreement has been systematically blurred through repeated restating of the same underlying Starwood transaction across multiple claims without incremental customer wins or named tenant signings since the original February 2026 announcement.

2026-09-07Marathon Digital's disclosure record distinguishes sharply between framework commitments and customer revenue arrangements. The sole disclosed SIGNED counterparty is Starwood Capital Group (Strategic Agreement, February 26, 2026; claims 3660–3666). Critically, this is not a customer contract but a joint venture framework for infrastructure development targeting 2.5 gigawatts of AI and HPC capacity, with MARA retaining 10–50% ownership stakes and Starwood managing operations, procurement, and financing (claims 3661–3666, 7504). The partnership is real, but revenue-bearing customer leases remain undisclosed.
All other counterparty arrangements are explicitly non-binding or prospective. MPLX LP appears only as a "letter of intent" (claims 3503, 3513, 3524) aimed at natural gas and power access—not a commercial service contract. The East Ohio Valley Railway reference (claim 1873) constitutes only an agreement "to negotiate in good faith" on railroad assets. Beyond Starwood, Marathon discloses no named customers. Instead, the pipeline consists of unnamed tenant placeholders. As of August 13, 2026, management remained "confident in our ability to sign at least 2 leases before year end" (claim 8502); references to "potential High-Performance Computing tenants" (claim 8906) and unidentified "partnerships with leading AI and grid management companies" (claim 7670) provide no counterparty identification.
Counterparty concentration is extreme. Starwood Digital Ventures appears in over 30 claims spanning six months, dominating every material disclosure. No competing customers or anchor tenants are named.
Revenue reconciliation is impossible because no commercial pricing or volume data are disclosed. Claims reference "long term agreements" contracting Long Ridge power (claim 8504) and Starwood's role securing "hypfinancing" (claim 3494), but actual rates, volumes, contract terms, and end-customer identities remain absent. The capacity targets (2.5 GW) and JV ownership percentages provide structural indicators but no revenue validation. Without disclosed lease pricing, tenant commitments, or power contract economics, the arithmetic linking announced partnerships to realized revenue cannot be tested against these claims.

2026-09-06Marathon Digital's announced partnerships reveal a single signed customer agreement layered with letters of intent and unnamed prospective tenants, reflecting deepening reliance on Starwood while projected revenue remains opaque. The February 26, 2026 Strategic Agreement with Starwood Digital Ventures (claims 3660, 3661, 3662, 3663, 3665, 3666) stands as the sole substantive signed deal on record. It specifies Marathon's 10–50% ownership in joint ventures, designates Starwood as managing member and operational lead, and obligates Starwood to perform pre-development services, secure permitting and power arrangements, and deploy capital to develop up to 2.5 gigawatts of AI and HPC infrastructure. The agreement is referenced across multiple filings (claims 3511, 3493, 3501, 3527) and citations persist consistently through September 2026 (claims 2474, 2480), indicating no deterioration of the relationship.
In contrast, other commercial announcements fall structurally short. The March 2026 announcement with MPLX LP is expressly termed a letter of intent (claims 3503, 3497, 3513, 3524, 2476), remaining unsigned, and addresses power and natural gas sourcing rather than end-customer commitments. The Long Ridge Energy transaction remains prospective: Marathon "expects" to place a tenant by mid-2026 (claims 935, 6849), but by late August, management was only "confident" about signing "at least 2 leases before year end" (claim 8502), implying no signed lease as of September 1. The tenant is never named.
Counterparty concentration is extreme. Starwood is the only identified customer with a binding, material agreement. All remaining commercial initiatives feature unnamed prospective tenants, letters of intent, or generic partnership language. Claims 8906 reference "interest from potential HPC tenants" without naming a single tenant. Claim 7670 invokes "partnerships with leading AI and grid management companies" without identification. Exaion surfaces only as a vague reference to "sovereign enterprise AI hosting" (claim 2504) with no disclosed contract architecture.
Revenue reconciliation is notably absent. Marathon has not disclosed lease rates, utilization assumptions, or expected Marathon cash contribution linked to any partnership announcement. The Starwood agreement specifies governance and ownership but omits pricing, lease term, or cash generation expectations. Long Ridge's unsigned, unnamed tenant status precludes financial modeling entirely. This silence on monetary linkage—the absence of connection between announced infrastructure capacity and expected cash flows—leaves material uncertainty about whether commercial announcements materialize into revenue.

2026-09-06Marathon Digital's partnership and customer announcements collapse to a single named counterparty with binding obligation: Starwood Digital Ventures, via a Strategic Agreement executed February 26, 2026 (claim 3660). That agreement is unambiguously signed—the language specifies MARA's 10–50% ownership stake in joint ventures, Starwood's role as managing member, designated asset schedules, and MARA's retained mining rights (claims 3662, 3663, 3661, 3666). The Starwood deal targets up to 2.5 gigawatts of AI and HPC infrastructure over time (claims 7504, 926), with near-term capacity of more than 1 gigawatt (claim 2500).
Everything else is either pre-binding or entirely unnamed. The MPLX LP announcement (March 1, 2026) is explicitly a letter of intent—framework language for potential access to natural gas and power capacity, not a signed contract (claims 3513, 3503, 3497, 3524). The Long Ridge facility has 70% of power output under long-term contracts, yet zero named tenants appear in any claim (claim 8504); MARA states confidence in signing "at least 2 leases before year end" but provides no customer identities (claim 8502). A single reference to "partnerships with leading AI and grid management companies" supplies no names whatsoever (claim 7670). HPC tenant interest at the Long Ridge site is noted as "received interest from potential" counterparties—interest, not commitment (claim 8906).
Counterparty concentration has been severe and stable throughout. Starwood dominates from February onward; by August–September 2026, after six months, the company still has no second named partner with binding terms. MPLX remains an LOI; Long Ridge tenants remain unnamed prospects. The only material diversification attempt—the MPLX letter of intent—achieved no executed agreement.
The announced deals disclose capacity targets and ownership percentages, not revenue. Starwood contributions are structurally equity (MARA takes 10–50% stakes in joint ventures) rather than direct revenue. The claims reference "contracted" power at Long Ridge but supply no pricing, term lengths, or revenue attributions that would permit arithmetic reconciliation with MARA's reported financials. The partnership announcements emphasize scale and strategic positioning; they do not reconcile to identifiable, quantifiable customer revenue streams.

2026-09-06Marathon Digital's disclosed partnership portfolio as of September 2026 reveals a sharp divide between named signed agreements and prospective or preliminary arrangements that lack counterparty identification. The Starwood Capital Group partnership stands as the only material named counterparty with confirmed execution; entered into on February 26, 2026, it represents a signed Strategic Agreement for joint AI and HPC infrastructure development across up to 2.5 gigawatts of capacity, with near-term deployment targeting 1+ gigawatt (claims 3660, 2500, 2501). Starwood's role is clearly defined, including ownership stakes between 10–50% per joint venture, operational management responsibilities, and pre-development obligations (claims 3660, 3663, 3665, 3662). The MPLX LP relationship, by contrast, remains preliminary. Announced March 1, 2026, it is explicitly a letter of intent rather than a signed customer agreement, aimed at expanding access to natural gas and scalable power capacity (claims 3503, 3497, 3513). No MPLX-branded revenue or capacity commitments have materialized on record. More concerning is the prevalence of unnamed counterparties masquerading as strategic accomplishments. Marathon expects a tenant at the Long Ridge facility by year-end 2026 but has not disclosed the tenant's identity, despite describing this entity as a hyperscaler (claims 935, 6849). Similarly, the firm reports receiving interest from potential High-Performance Computing tenants without naming any of them (claim 8906). References to partnerships with leading AI and grid management companies remain similarly vague (claim 7670). These unnamed relationships, whether exploratory or near-closing, inflate the appearance of commercial traction while obscuring concentration risk and execution probability. Revenue arithmetic does not reconcile in any claim reviewed. Marathon discloses capacity targets and power contracted percentages—70% of Long Ridge's output under long-term agreements (claim 8504)—but provides no megawatt pricing, utilization assumptions, or revenue derivations to connect infrastructure capacity to actual customer economics. The lack of quarterly lease signings, named hyperscaler commitments, or revenue guidance tied to Starwood or any other named party prevents triangulation of claimed pipeline value. Counterparty concentration has intensified rather than diversified over the February–September period, with Starwood remaining the sole named, signed strategic engine for growth while all material customer relationships remain anonymous or uncommitted.

2026-09-05Marathon Digital's partnership disclosures from February through September 2026 reveal a heavily concentrated counterparty landscape dominated by a single named entity paired with preliminary or forward-looking commitments from unnamed actors. The Starwood Capital Group and Starwood Digital Ventures partnership, announced February 26, 2026, constitutes the only formally executed strategic agreement on record (claims 3660, 3493, 3501, 3527). The agreement's structure—documented through claims 3661–3666—shows MARA contributing specified U.S. bitcoin mining data centers in exchange for 10–50% ownership stakes in joint ventures, with Starwood managing day-to-day operations and performing pre-development services including permitting and power procurement. Claim 2480 acknowledges the agreement subjects MARA to "significant development, execution, financing and counterparty risks." By contrast, the MPLX LP engagement exists only as a letter of intent announced March 1, 2026 (claims 3503, 3513, 3524, 3497, 2476), explicitly framed as aimed at expanding access to natural gas and power capacity without binding commitment language.
The Long Ridge Energy asset (claims 935, 6849, 8502, 8504) illustrates the gap between announced capacity and contracted revenue. While claim 8504 states over 70% of Long Ridge's power output is "contracted under long-term agreements," no customer names or revenue amounts are disclosed. Claims 935 and 8502 reference expectations of "a tenant" and confidence in signing "at least 2 leases before year end"—forward-looking expressions of intent rather than completed deals. The mysterious "leading AI and grid management companies" (claim 7670) receive no identification whatsoever.
The concentration is striking: Starwood appears in 27+ claims spanning the full February–September period, while all other named counterparties appear in single digits. Unnamed or vaguely described parties dominate the tenant and partnership narrative. On revenue reconciliation, the disclosures offer capacity targets—2.5 gigawatts total, 1 gigawatt near-term (claims 2500, 2501)—but no revenue figures, pricing, or deal values. The absence of financial metrics alongside capacity announcements makes it impossible to assess whether announced megawatt deployments will translate to material revenue. The portfolio presents as heavily dependent on Starwood execution and unnamed tenant fulfillment.

2026-09-05Marathon Digital's partnership announcements from February through September 2026 reveal heavy concentration on a single named counterparty with material legal distinctions obscured by promotional language. The company signed a Strategic Agreement with Starwood Capital Group and its platform Starwood Digital Ventures on February 26, 2026 (claims 3660, 3662, 3663), creating joint ventures structured as minority positions: MARA retains 10 to 50 percent ownership while Starwood serves as managing member and controls day-to-day development (claims 3663, 3494). This is a definitive signed commitment, albeit one where MARA's upside is capped by its minority stake. The partnership targets more than one gigawatt near-term and a 2.5 gigawatt pathway over time (claims 2500, 2501).
Other claimed partnerships carry weaker legal standing. MARA announced a letter of intent with MPLX LP for natural gas and power access (claims 3513, 3524, 2476)—explicitly an intention to negotiate, not a binding agreement. The Long Ridge Energy facility is said to expect "a tenant in place around the time the deal closes, in the second half of the year" (claim 935), yet the customer remains unnamed. MARA references "advanced discussions" with unidentified "investment-grade tenants" (claim 2524). A later Exaion reference to "sovereign enterprise AI expansion" (claim 2504) adds a second named entity without clarity on agreement status. Concentration risk is acute: Starwood dominates substantive, signed commitments while other counterparties are either LOIs, prospective unnamed tenants, or vague partnership descriptions.
Revenue reconciliation cannot be verified. The disclosed claims attach no customer-specific revenue figures, lease terms, or capacity utilization assumptions. The Starwood joint venture's minority structure means MARA captures only its percentage share of any infrastructure economics, with further dilution if development stalls. The unnamed Long Ridge tenant and unidentified investment-grade tenants create a visibility gap between announced gigawatt targets and actual signed customer commitments. Without matching customer identities to capacity milestones and underlying lease pricing, the claimed 2.5 gigawatt pathway cannot be assessed as a revenue-bearing asset pathway.

2026-09-05Marathon Digital's partnership disclosure distinguishes sharply between one binding agreement and several non-binding frameworks. The Strategic Agreement with Starwood Capital Group and Starwood Digital Ventures, signed February 26, 2026, constitutes the only named, signed customer arrangement on record (claims 3660–3665, 3501, 3511, 3527, 4937, 2474, 2480). This agreement grants MARA a 10–50% ownership stake in joint ventures where Starwood will serve as managing member and lead engineering, procurement, and construction—a structure that transfers operational control to the counterparty despite equity participation. By contrast, the March 1, 2026 announcement with MPLX LP is explicitly a letter of intent (claims 3503, 3497, 3513, 3524, 2476), not a signed agreement, and targets only "expanded access" to natural gas and power capacity with no binding obligation. The Long Ridge Energy facility tenant, described as a "hyperscaler" with expected placement in H2 2026 (claims 935, 6849), remains unnamed and unfunded—this is anticipation, not a signed customer. East Ohio Valley Railway's rail assets involve parties agreeing to "negotiate in good faith" (claim 1873), language that signals ongoing discussions rather than a closed transaction. Beyond Starwood's dominance across roughly 20 separate claims, MARA disclosed "partnerships with leading AI and grid management companies" (claim 7670) and "advanced discussions with investment-grade tenants" (claim 2524) without naming any counterparties, rendering these partnerships impossible to verify. The claim referencing "Starwood Property Trust" (claim 6104) introduces ambiguity about whether this entity differs from Starwood Capital Group and Starwood Digital Ventures or represents the same relationship under a different corporate identity. Counterparty concentration is severe: Starwood absorbs all named partnership activity, while prospective customers are either unnamed or conditional. No revenue figures appear in any claim, preventing arithmetic reconciliation between announced capacity targets (1+ gigawatt near-term, 2.5 gigawatt long-term) and actual customer commitments or revenue recognition. The portfolio shows a framework partnership with one named player controlling day-to-day operations, an unexecuted LOI, and several unnamed or exploratory relationships.

2026-09-05Marathon Digital's partnership disclosures reveal a stark distinction between binding commitments and preliminary discussions. The company has signed one major Strategic Agreement—with Starwood Capital Group and its platform Starwood Digital Ventures, executed February 26, 2026 (claims 3660, 926, 3501, 2474). This is the only named counterparty with explicit signed documentation; the agreement targets 1–2.5 gigawatts of AI and HPC infrastructure capacity, with MARA retaining a 10–50% ownership interest in joint ventures under Starwood's management (claims 3662, 3528, 2502). By contrast, the MPLX LP relationship remains at letter-of-intent stage (claims 3497, 3513, 2476), structured as exploratory access to lower-cost natural gas and power—no signed operating agreement.
Beyond Starwood and MPLX, counterparty disclosure becomes hazy. The company describes "advanced discussions with investment-grade tenants" (claim 2524) for its Long Ridge Energy facility without naming any tenant; announcements state MARA "expects to have a tenant in place" by mid-2026 (claims 935, 6849), but this is an expectation, not a binding agreement. Exaion appears in claims 2504 as part of "sovereign enterprise AI expansion via hosting" but without contract-level detail. A "separately announced AI data center partnership with Starwood Property Trust" (claims 6351, 6104) is mentioned by name yet lacks operational specifics. Vaguest of all are references to "partnerships with leading AI and grid management companies" (claim 7670)—no named counterparties whatsoever.
Counterparty concentration has tightened dramatically around Starwood, which dominates 25+ claims from February through September 2026. Early roadmap included MPLX (still LOI-stage), but Starwood anchors the disclosed pipeline. On revenue reconciliation: no customer revenues are disclosed across these claims. Capacity targets are contingent (claim 2480 acknowledges "significant development, execution, financing and counterparty risks"), and ownership economics remain unspecified—MARA's 10–50% stake in Starwood JVs and a separately mentioned 35,577-bitcoin treasury (claim 1214) do not translate to disclosed operating revenue. Without signed tenant commitments or Starwood carrying revenue, the announced capacity pathway remains aspirational rather than revenue-producing.

2026-09-05Marathon Digital's announced partnership portfolio demonstrates material concentration risk and linguistic slippage between signed agreements and preliminary engagement. The February 26, 2026 Strategic Agreement with Starwood Capital Group and Starwood Digital Ventures (claims 3660, 3661, 3493) is a signed agreement governing joint venture formation for AI and HPC infrastructure development, with MARA retaining 10–50% ownership (claim 3662) and Starwood as managing member overseeing day-to-day operations (claim 3663). This is categorically distinct from the March 1, 2026 letter of intent with MPLX LP (claims 3513, 3524), which targets expanded access to power and gas capacity rather than committed facility leases or consumption commitments.
Counterparty concentration presents acute dependency risk. Starwood entities dominate disclosed partnerships: the Strategic Agreement covers MARA's entire U.S. portfolio excluding third-party joint ventures (claim 3661), targets over 1 gigawatt near-term with a 2.5-gigawatt pathway (claims 2500, 2501), and subordinates operational control to Starwood. Starwood Property Trust appears separately in August 2026 disclosures (claims 6351, 6104), but its contractual relationship to the February agreement remains opaque. Beyond Starwood and MPLX's LOI, no tenant counterparties appear in named form.
Long Ridge illustrates the execution-framework gap. MARA expects to secure a tenant "around the time the deal closes, in the second half of the year" (claims 935, 6849)—expectation language, not commitment. By September 2026, this deteriorated to "advanced discussions with investment-grade tenants" (claim 2524), terminology indicating pre-LOI stage. Exaion receives single mention in connection with "sovereign enterprise AI" hosting (claim 2504), with no disclosure of executed status, capacity terms, or revenue commitment. Claims referencing "partnerships with leading AI and grid management companies" (claim 7670) withhold counterparty identity entirely, blocking concentration assessment.
No revenue figures appear in the claim set, precluding reconciliation of announced infrastructure capacity against disclosed customer economics. The disclosed gigawatt pathways and percentage ownership structures exist alongside an absence of named end-customer commitments, obscuring whether capacity targets reflect binding demand or optionality. The record suggests MARA has secured framework infrastructure arrangements (Starwood, MPLX LOI) but has not disclosed signed tenant agreements sufficient to validate revenue realization against infrastructure development spend.

Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-19The record supplied here ends abruptly in May 2021 at claim 14648, so this read covers Marathon's mining-era buildout only and cannot speak to the Texas, Ohio, North Dakota or Nebraska sites now listed as operational or announced. The 2013-2014 entries, including the country-footprint figures (20897, 20898) and the patent-portfolio acquisitions, date from the company's patent-licensing predecessor and say nothing about facility delivery. They should be treated as legacy noise, and the country-count items look misattributed. On scale, the trajectory runs from a single leased Quebec building of roughly 26,700 square feet (15230) to a 240 PH/s fleet target (14906, 14887, 14871), which was raised within weeks to 294 PH/s (14858). It then moves to a 100 MW Hardin plan (14789). Hardin's headline total held at 100 MW, but its phasing was quietly re-cut. Phase I went from 30 MW (14790) to 70 MW, with a 30 MW Phase II (14645, 14646). The project now sits in the cancelled column with no closing claim explaining the exit. Date discipline on hardware was good where it was tested. The mid-August 2020 S19 Pro and MicroBT deliveries (14873, 14854, 14872) and the 10,000-unit order due by March 2021 (14762) are all marked verified. The fourth-quarter 2020 batch of 1,000 S19 Pros (14855) was never confirmed either way. The Quebec lease shows a quieter inconsistency. It runs through November 2022 and is marked abandoned under the Quebec entry (15229), yet the same lease remains open under Granby (15219). That suggests one site booked twice, with only one copy closed out. The SelectGreen miner purchase is similar. It was recorded as withdrawn (15062) and later restated as completed (14851, 14883), with no acknowledgement of the reversal. Independent corroboration is thin. Nothing in this record ties Hardin to an interconnection filing, a Montana permit or site reporting, and every project row carries blank capacity and cost fields. The Hardin megawatt figures therefore rest entirely on company statements. Over the next 90 days, the priority is completing the claim history past mid-2021 so that the current portfolio can be scored at all. After that, the record should be checked against ERCOT queue entries for MAT 1177 and Matagorda County, Ohio siting and PUCO dockets for Long Ridge and Coshocton, and any Plano filings. Each announced site should also be checked for whether it ever acquires a stated megawatt figure and an in-service date that can be tested.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-19The record supplied here ends in May 2021, partway through the Hardin disclosures at claim 14648, so this read covers Marathon's early mining build-out rather than its current portfolio. Claims from 2013 and 2014 reflect the predecessor patent-licensing business. Two of them, 20898 and 20897, describe African and 26-country operations, and 20896 and 20895 describe UN Women and EY partnerships. None of these fit Marathon's history, and they look misattributed. They should be audited before any editorial use. Announced capacity grew steadily in the 2020 hardware cycle. The fleet target moved from 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871) to 294 PH/s (14858) within weeks, and the 10,500-unit S-19 Pro order (14842) and the 10,000-unit order (14762) scaled ambitions well beyond that. Delivery promises in this period mostly held. The mid-August 2020 shipments (14873, 14872, 14854) and the March 2021 S-19 Pro tranche (14762) are verified. The Q4 2020 commitment for 1,000 S-19s (14855) was never resolved either way. Hardin is the clearest case of quiet revision. In October 2020 it was framed as a 30 MW Phase I within a 100 MW target (14790, 14789). By May 2021 the same site was presented as a 70 MW Phase I plus a 30 MW Phase II (14645, 14646). The total held at 100 MW, but the phasing was more than doubled at the front end without any stated rationale. The project list now shows Hardin as cancelled, and nothing in the supplied claims explains when or why. Several data-hygiene problems also stand out. The Quebec lease (15229) is marked abandoned, while the parallel Granby lease (15219), with its November 2022 end date long past, still reads not_yet_verifiable. The SelectGreen purchase is tagged withdrawn in 15062 but restated as completed in 14883 and 14851. On independent evidence, the record contains no permits, interconnection queue entries or site reporting, so the pace of any facility is supported only by Marathon's own statements. That gap matters most for the projects that are still only announced: Long Ridge, Coshocton, Matagorda County, MAT 1177 and Plano. None of them carries a capacity or cost figure. Over the next 90 days, the priorities are ingesting post-2021 claims and attaching megawatt figures and in-service dates to the announced sites. Those figures should be checked against PJM queue positions for the Ohio sites and ERCOT large-load filings for the Texas sites, and the status labels on Hardin, Granby and SelectGreen should be reconciled.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-19The record as supplied ends in May 2021, mid-entry at claim 14645. Every capacity and timeline claim here therefore predates the projects that define Marathon today: Long Ridge, Coshocton, Matagorda County, MAT 1177 and Plano are all listed as announced with no capacity or cost attached. That gap is the main finding, and any read of the current pipeline should wait for the later claims. There is also a data-hygiene problem. The 2013-2014 entries cover the patent-licensing predecessor, which is fair context. But claims 20895-20898, the UN Women and EY partnerships and the operations across 26 countries with an African presence in 19, do not fit any Marathon business line and look like an entity-resolution error. They should be excluded before publication.
Within the window available, announced scale moved upward in small steps rather than shrinking. The fleet hashrate target went from 240 PH/s (claims 14906, 14887, 14871) to 294 PH/s (14858) within about six weeks of summer 2020. That increase was backed by specific purchase orders. Near-term delivery promises held: the mid-August 2020 S19 Pro and MicroBT deliveries (14872, 14873, 14854) and the 10,000-unit order due by March 2021 (14762) are all marked verified. Claim 14062 is wrong as written; the withdrawn SelectGreen purchase is 15062, and it was later restated and completed as 14851.
The site-level picture is weaker. Hardin was framed as a 100 MW target with a 30 MW first phase (14789, 14790) and a second 30 MW phase priced at 9 million USD (14646). It now carries a cancelled status. The record holds no claim acknowledging that the 100 MW figure was reduced or dropped, so the revision appears to have happened without notice in this dataset. Quebec shows the same pattern: the lease claim 15229 is tagged abandoned with no explanatory filing. Claim 15219, the Granby lease due to end in November 2022, is still not_yet_verifiable nearly four years after that date, which should be closed out. Nothing in the record offers independent corroboration, whether permits, interconnection-queue entries or site reporting. Every capacity figure here is self-reported.
For the next 90 days, the priority is to backfill the claim history after May 2021 and attach capacity figures to the announced Texas and Ohio sites. Those sites should be checked against ERCOT and PJM queue filings and against county permit records. Any later Hardin or Quebec restatements in 10-K filings would also clarify whether these exits were ever disclosed as such.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-17The supplied record ends mid-2021, so this read covers Marathon's transition from patent holder to hosted miner and its first attempt at owned infrastructure. It cannot speak to the Texas, Ohio, North Dakota or Abu Dhabi sites now listed. Several of those, including MAT 1177, Long Ridge, Matagorda County, Coshocton and Plano, carry no capacity or cost figures at all, which is itself the most notable gap. The 2013-2014 entries also need cleanup before any trend is computed. Claims 20898, 20897, 20896 and 20895, covering African operations and UN Women and EY partnerships, appear to belong to a different MARA entity. The patent acquisitions are duplicated, for example 21015 with 21028 and 21016 with 21029.
On capacity, the trajectory scaled up and then partly collapsed. The Granby hosting target held at 240 PH/s across three statements (14906, 14887, 14871), then rose to 294 PH/s (14858) once the larger S-19 Pro orders landed (14842, 14762). Hardin was framed as a 100 MW site (14789) with 30 MW phases (14790, 14646) on a Beowulf power contract (14647). Both Hardin and Quebec now sit as cancelled, and no claim in the record acknowledges either cancellation or retires the 100 MW figure.
On timing, the hardware deliveries held: 14872, 14873, 14854 and 14762 all verified on schedule. Facility commitments fared worse. The Quebec lease through November 2022 is tagged abandoned in 15229 but not yet verifiable in 15219, apparently because the same lease is attributed to two different project records. The SelectGreen purchase was marked withdrawn (15062) yet restated as completed in 14851 and 14883. The Q4 2020 delivery of 1,000 S-19 units (14855) was never closed out.
The record contains no independent corroboration of any kind, such as permits, interconnection queue positions or site reporting. Every facility figure here rests on company statements.
Over the next 90 days, the third-quarter 10-Q due in early November is the main test. Watch whether it attaches megawatt figures to the announced Texas and Ohio sites, and whether Long Ridge and Matagorda County appear in PJM or ERCOT interconnection queues at sizes consistent with any disclosed capacity. Also check whether Plano and Coshocton gain local permit filings or quietly drop out of disclosures, as Hardin did.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-17The record supplied here ends mid-2021, at claim 14650, so this read covers only Marathon's transition from patent holder to miner. It cannot speak to the Texas, Ohio, Nebraska, North Dakota or Abu Dhabi sites that now dominate the project list. Several pre-2019 entries also look misattributed, including the 26-country footprint (20897), the African presence (20898) and the UN Women and EY tie-ups (20896, 20895). Those should be checked before publication. Every project row also carries a blank capacity field, so there is no current baseline to measure against.
Within that window, the announced scale grew quickly but mostly through procurement, not facility build. The fleet hashrate target moved from 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871) to 294 PH/s (14858) within weeks. It then jumped well past that with the 10,500-unit S-19 Pro order (14842). The 10,000-unit tranche due by March 2021 is marked verified (14762), as are the August 2020 deliveries (14873, 14854, 14872). On hardware, then, stated dates largely held. The SelectGreen purchase is the exception: it was withdrawn (15062) and later restated as a completed transaction (14883, 14851) with no explanation in the record.
Facility claims are weaker. Hardin was introduced as a 100 MW site with a 30 MW first phase (14789, 14790). Seven months later Phase I was restated as 70 MW and Phase II as 30 MW (14645, 14646). Total capacity was unchanged, but the near-term commitment more than doubled with no acknowledgement of the change. Hardin is now listed as cancelled, and no dated completion promise for it appears anywhere in the excerpt. In Quebec, the lease running to November 2022 (15219, 15229) is marked abandoned on one record and not yet verifiable on the other. The Quebec project itself is cancelled. That leaves Granby's 26,700 square feet (15230) as the only physical footprint claim with a stated size.
Nothing in this record ties any of these claims to independent evidence such as permits, interconnection queue positions, utility filings or site reporting. The verified tags apply to equipment deliveries, not to energized megawatts.
For the next 90 days, the priority is to load the full claim history so that the announced-status sites can be assessed: MAT 1177, Matagorda County, Long Ridge, Coshocton and Plano. For the Texas sites, look for ERCOT large-load interconnection entries. For Long Ridge and Coshocton, look for PJM or Ohio siting filings. The test is whether each first disclosure carries a dated megawatt figure, and whether later filings keep it or quietly reshuffle phases the way Hardin did.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-16The supplied record ends partway through May 2021, at claim 14646. This read therefore covers the Quebec and Hardin era only. It cannot speak to the projects that now define MARA's footprint: Long Ridge, Coshocton, Matagorda County, MAT 1177 and Plano are all still listed as announced, and none carries a capacity or cost figure. The 2013-2014 claims also need cleaning before publication. The patent acquisitions (21015 through 21035) fit the company's patent-licensing past, but the 26-country and African-expansion footprint claims and the UN Women and EY partnerships (20895-20898) look misattributed. On scale, the trajectory runs upward through 2020 and then gets reframed. The fleet hashrate target moved from 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871) to 294 PH/s within about three weeks (14858) as S-19 Pro orders grew. Hardin was announced at 30 MW for Phase I within a 100 MW total (14790, 14789). By May 2021 Phase I alone was described as 70 MW (14645), with no filing in the record explaining whether the overall 100 MW envelope changed. Hardin is now marked cancelled, so that capacity ultimately went to zero at that site. On timing, short-horizon delivery promises held: the August 2020 miner deliveries (14872, 14873, 14854) and the 10,000-unit S-19 Pro order due by March 2021 (14762) are all verified. Longer-dated commitments fared worse. The Quebec lease through November 2022 is recorded as abandoned (15229), while a parallel claim about the same lease is still tagged not yet verifiable (15219) almost four years after its date passed. That is a tracking gap worth closing. The SelectGreen equipment purchase was marked withdrawn (15062) and then restated as completed (14883, 14851) without any recorded explanation. The Q4 2020 delivery of 1,000 S-19 Pros (14855) has no verification attached. On independent evidence, the record contains none: no permits, no interconnection queue entries, no site reporting. Every capacity figure here is company-sourced. Over the next 90 days, the priority is to extend the record past May 2021 and attach announced MW figures to the open sites. Watch for ERCOT and PJM queue positions behind the Texas and Ohio announcements, county permit filings at Coshocton and Matagorda, and whether quarterly disclosures reconcile energized megawatts against the totals those announcements imply.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-15This record is truncated at claim 14648, so the read below covers Marathon's history only through mid-2021. It cannot speak to the Texas, Ohio, North Dakota or Abu Dhabi sites that now dominate the project list. The earliest entries also need caution. Claims 20898, 20897, 20896 and 20895, about African presence across 19 countries and UN Women and EY partnerships, do not fit Marathon's patent-licensing past and look like entity contamination. The 2014 patent acquisitions (21015 through 21035) are context, not infrastructure.
On capacity, the clearest trajectory is at Hardin. Claims 14789 and 14790 set a 100 MW total with a 30 MW first phase. By May 2021, claims 14645 and 14646 restated Phase I as 70 MW and Phase II as 30 MW. The total held while the phasing more than doubled the near-term tranche, and nothing on record explains the change. Hardin is now marked cancelled, so the growing promise ended in withdrawal rather than delivery. Fleet hashrate targets moved more modestly, from 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871) to 294 PH/s (14858) as S-19 Pro orders grew.
On dates, the narrow equipment deliveries held. Claims 14872, 14873, 14854 and 14762 are verified. Claim 14855, a Q4 2020 delivery of 1,000 S-19 Pros, carries no resolution. The Quebec lease is internally inconsistent. Claim 15229 is marked abandoned, while 15219 covers the same November 2022 term at Granby and is still flagged not yet verifiable nearly four years past its date. The SelectGreen purchase is likewise marked withdrawn in 15062, yet reappears as completed in 14851 and 14883. The record does not show whether that was a revision or a reversal.
On independent evidence, the record contains no permits, interconnection-queue entries or site reporting. Every claim is either company-stated or verified only against later company disclosures. None of the operational sites carries a capacity figure, so the announced pace cannot be checked against physical build-out.
Over the next 90 days, the priority is to backfill post-2021 claims, since the current portfolio is invisible here. Beyond that, watch Marathon's Q3 2026 results for megawatt and timeline figures on MAT 1177, Matagorda County, Coshocton and Plano. Check ERCOT queue filings for the Texas sites and Ohio Power Siting Board dockets for Long Ridge and Coshocton for outside confirmation. Granby also needs a status decision: it is still listed as announced even though its only dated claim has expired.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-15The record supplied stops at claim 14648 in May 2021, so this read covers Marathon's transition from patent holder to miner and the Hardin build-out. None of the currently active sites appears in it: Long Ridge, Matagorda, Coshocton, Plano and MAT 1177 have no capacity or date claims here. Several pre-2017 entries also look misattributed, including the 19- and 26-country footprint and the UN Women and EY partnerships (20896-20898), and should be checked before publication.
Within the visible window, announced scale mostly ratcheted upward. The fleet hashrate target moved from 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871) to 294 PH/s within weeks (14858), driven by successive S-19 Pro orders that culminated in the 10,500-unit purchase (14842). Hardin kept its 100 MW headline (14789), but its phasing flipped. It was announced as a 30 MW Phase I (14790), then restated seven months later as a 70 MW Phase I and a 30 MW Phase II (14645, 14646). Nothing in the record acknowledges or explains that change.
Short-dated hardware promises held. The mid-August 2020 miner deliveries (14872, 14873, 14854) and the 10,000-unit S-19 Pro tranche due by March 2021 (14762) are all verified. The Q4 2020 delivery of 1,000 S-19 Pros (14855) was never resolved either way. Site-level commitments fared worse. The Quebec lease through November 2022 is marked abandoned (15229), yet the same lease, tagged to Granby, still reads not yet verifiable (15219). Hardin is now cancelled, but no claim records its wind-down. The SelectGreen purchase also appears as withdrawn (15062) and later as completed (14851, 14883), a contradiction the company never reconciled publicly.
No independent evidence appears in this record: no permits, no interconnection queue positions, no on-the-ground reporting. Hardin's capacity rested entirely on the Beowulf power purchase agreement (14647, 14791). As a result, the announced pace can only be judged against Marathon's own later statements, not against third-party filings.
Over the next 90 days, the first priority is completing the claim history so the Texas, Ohio and Plano projects can be assessed at all. Beyond that, watch for ERCOT large-load interconnection entries for the Texas sites and PUCO or local zoning filings for Long Ridge and Coshocton. In the next quarterly report, check whether any megawatt or energization dates for those sites are restated without comment, as Hardin's phasing was.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-15The record supplied for Marathon Digital ends at claim 14647, in May 2021. Everything below therefore covers the Granby, Quebec and Hardin era. The later Texas, Ohio and Abu Dhabi sites cannot be assessed from this extract. Several pre-2018 entries also look misattributed: the 26-country footprint (20897), the African presence (20898) and the UN Women and EY partnerships (20896, 20895) do not fit the Marathon Patent Group predecessor. They should be checked for entity-resolution errors before publication.
Capacity has generally grown, though not in a straight line. The fleet hashrate target rose from 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871) to 294 PH/s within weeks (14858), and then to a 10,000-plus S-19 order (14842, 14762). Hardin was announced as a 100 MW site with a 30 MW first phase (14789, 14790). By May 2021 it was described as a 70 MW Phase I plus a 30 MW Phase II (14645, 14646). The total stayed at 100 MW, but the phases were reshaped without explanation. Hardin is now marked cancelled, and no capacity figure is attached to it at closure.
Near-term hardware dates mostly held. The mid-August 2020 deliveries (14873, 14872, 14854) and the Q1 2021 S-19 delivery (14762) are verified. The fourth-quarter 2020 batch of 1,000 miners (14855) has no follow-up. The SelectGreen purchase was marked withdrawn (15062) but was later restated as completed (14851, 14883), and the record does not reconcile the two. The 2019 Quebec lease running to November 2022 appears twice: as abandoned under Quebec (15229) and as not yet verifiable under Granby (15219). Granby is also still listed as announced despite operating claims (15198, 14859). That is a tracking inconsistency, not a company slip, but it hides whether the lease actually ran its full term.
No independent evidence appears in this extract. There are no permits, utility filings, interconnection queue positions or site reporting, so the announced pace rests entirely on company statements and delivery confirmations.
Over the next 90 days, the priority is to load the post-2021 claims. Then look for capacity figures on the sites that have none: MAT 1177, Matagorda County, Long Ridge, Coshocton and Plano. Search for matching ERCOT and PJM interconnection queue entries, and check whether a capacity number for the Long Ridge site in Hannibal, Ohio, is tied to the adjacent power plant. Finally, correct Granby's status and confirm whether the Hardin miners were relocated or written off.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-15The record supplied here ends partway through May 2021 (it breaks off at claim 14648), so this read covers Marathon's early hosted-mining era. It cannot speak to the current pipeline of MAT 1177, Long Ridge, Matagorda County, Coshocton and Plano, none of which carries a capacity or cost figure on file. The 2013 and 2014 entries describe a patent-licensing business, and the 19- and 26-country footprint figures (20898, 20897) look misattributed to this issuer. They should be checked before anyone relies on them. On scale, the headline hashrate target moved quickly and upward. It was 240 PH/s across three filings (14906, 14887, 14871), then 294 PH/s within weeks (14858). The 10,000-unit S-19 Pro order (14762) followed, putting the fleet on a far larger trajectory. Hardin is the instructive case. The 100 MW total (14789) held steady, but Phase I was quietly re-cut from 30 MW (14790) to 70 MW (14645), with a 30 MW Phase II carved out (14646). The project now sits as cancelled, and nothing in the claims trail announces or explains that exit. On dates, the near-term hardware promises held: the mid-August 2020 delivery of 660 S-19 Pros (14873, 14854) and the March 2021 deployment of 10,000 units (14762) are both verified. The Q4 2020 delivery of 1,000 S-19 Pros (14855) was never closed out either way. The Quebec lease is internally contradictory. The same November 2022 term is tagged abandoned under 15229 but not yet verifiable under 15219, and the SelectGreen purchase is marked withdrawn (15062) yet restated as completed (14851, 14883). Those conflicts point to revision without clean acknowledgement and should be reconciled. Independent corroboration is absent from this record. There are no permits, no interconnection queue entries, and no site reporting for Hardin, Granby or any announced Texas or Ohio site, so the announced pace rests entirely on company statements and third-party hosts such as Compute North and Beowulf. Over the next 90 days, the priority is to pull the post-2021 claims history and test whether the current announced sites ever gained stated megawatts. Analysts should look for ERCOT large-load queue entries tied to Matagorda County and MAT 1177, PJM or local utility filings for Long Ridge and Coshocton, and whether third-quarter results attach energization dates to any of them.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-15The supplied record ends mid-2021, cutting off at claim 14650, so this read covers Marathon's early pivot from patent licensing to mining. It cannot assess the operational Texas, North Dakota, Nebraska and Abu Dhabi sites or the newer announced projects such as MAT 1177, Long Ridge, Matagorda County, Coshocton and Plano, none of which carries a capacity or cost figure in the project table. Claims from 2013 and 2014 (21042 through 21020, 20898, 20897) describe intellectual property and corporate presence, not facilities, and say nothing about delivery capacity.
On scale, the hashrate target moved upward quickly. A 240 PH/s goal (14906, 14887, 14871) became 294 PH/s within weeks (14858), driven by successive S-19 Pro orders that swelled to 10,000 units (14762) and then 10,500 (14842). The unit arithmetic does not reconcile cleanly. A 500-unit add-on (14870) sits beside a 1,660-unit total (14853) that only works as 660 plus 1,000 (14854, 14855), and the MicroBT model naming varies across 14868, 14872 and 14852. Hardin shows the clearest restatement. It was announced as 100 MW with a 30 MW Phase I (14789, 14790), then recast with a 70 MW Phase I and a 30 MW Phase II (14645, 14646). The headline stayed at 100 MW, but the phasing was inverted without stated explanation, and the project now carries a cancelled status.
Dated promises are sparse, and the near-term ones held. The mid-August 2020 delivery of 660 S-19 Pros (14873, 14854) and the 700-unit MicroBT order (14872) are verified, as is the 10,000-unit purchase targeted for March 2021 (14762). The Quebec lease running to November 2022 is marked abandoned (15229), while the parallel Granby framing (15219) remains unverifiable. The SelectGreen equipment purchase was withdrawn (15062) and then reappears as stated (14851, 14883). That is a reversal the record does not reconcile.
No independent evidence appears in this extract: no permits, no interconnection queue positions, no site reporting. Hardin's power arrangement (14647, 14791) rests entirely on company disclosure.
Over the next 90 days, three things matter. First, whether the full post-2021 claim history surfaces capacity figures for the announced Texas and Ohio projects. Second, whether those figures can be matched to ERCOT and PJM queue entries. Third, whether Marathon explains Hardin's cancellation alongside the earlier phase restatement.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-14The record supplied for Marathon ends mid-entry at claim 14649 in May 2021. This read therefore covers the 2019 to 2021 build-out in depth. For the sites that now define the portfolio it can mostly only flag gaps. The earliest entries (20896, 20897, 20898, and the 2014 patent cluster around 21015 to 21035) come from the patent-monetization predecessor. Some, such as the UN Women and 19-country African presence claims, look misattributed to this issuer. They should not be read as infrastructure history. On capacity, the pattern is rapid upward restatement. The fleet target of 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871) became 294 PH/s within three weeks (14858). It was then overtaken by the 10,500-unit S-19 order (14842) and the 10,000-unit purchase (14762). Hardin held its headline 100 MW (14789) but was rephased, from a 30 MW Phase I (14790) to 70 MW plus 30 MW (14645, 14646), with no stated reason. Hardin and the Quebec site are now both cancelled. The excerpt does not show either cancellation being announced. Dates held where they were narrow and equipment-based: the mid-August 2020 deliveries (14873, 14872, 14854) and the March 2021 S-19 tranche (14762) all verify. Revisions went unflagged elsewhere. The SelectGreen purchase is marked withdrawn (15062), yet it is restated as completed in 14883 and 14851. The Quebec lease through November 2022 shows as abandoned under Quebec (15229) and as unverifiable under Granby (15219). That suggests one obligation was tracked twice and diverged. The Q4 2020 delivery of 1,000 S-19s (14855) was never resolved. Independent evidence is absent. Nothing in the record ties any claim to a permit, an interconnection queue position, or site reporting. Every project, operational or announced, carries a null capacity and cost. That includes MAT 1177, Long Ridge, Matagorda County, Coshocton, and Plano. Over the next 90 days, watch the Q3 2026 results and 10-Q for the first MW or cost figures on the announced sites. Then check them against ERCOT large-load filings for the Texas projects and PJM queue entries for the two Ohio sites. Also check whether the operational Texas, Dakota, and Nebraska sites get stated capacities that can be reconciled. Until that happens, the portfolio's delivery pace rests on company assertion alone.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-13The record supplied here effectively ends in May 2021, mid-entry at claim 14649. Everything after that is missing, including any capacity or timeline claims for the projects that matter now: Long Ridge, Matagorda County, MAT 1177, Coshocton and Plano. Those projects carry no capacity or cost figures in the project list, so this read covers only Marathon's early mining build-out. The 2013-2014 entries (claims 20898, 20897, 20896, 20895 and the patent-portfolio cluster around 21015-21035) describe the predecessor patent-licensing business, or appear misattributed, and say nothing about facility delivery. In the window that is visible, capacity grew in steps. The fleet hashrate target held at 240 PH/s across three statements (14906, 14887, 14871) and then rose to 294 PH/s (14858) once more S-19 Pro orders were added. Hardin is the instructive case. It was first framed as a 30 MW Phase I within a 100 MW total (14790, 14789). Seven months later it was restated as a 70 MW Phase I and a 30 MW Phase II (14645, 14646). The total stayed at 100 MW, but the front-loaded share more than doubled, and the record does not explain why. Hardin now sits as cancelled, so the larger near-term commitment did not survive. Date discipline on hardware was good. Mid-August 2020 deliveries (14873, 14872, 14854) and the 10,000-unit S-19 Pro order due by March 2021 (14762) are all verified. The Q4 2020 tranche of 1,000 miners (14855) never received a verification status. Facility leases fared worse. The Quebec lease running to November 2022 is marked abandoned (15229), while a parallel claim tagged Granby is still unverifiable (15219). That suggests the exit was never cleanly disclosed. The SelectGreen purchase is likewise marked withdrawn (15062) but restated as completed in later filings (14883, 14851). That inconsistency deserves reconciliation. No independent evidence appears anywhere in the record: no permits, interconnection-queue entries or site reporting. The announced pace therefore rests entirely on company statements. Over the next 90 days, the Q3 2026 10-Q should be checked for capacity and energization dates on the Texas and Ohio sites. ERCOT large-load interconnection filings should be checked for Matagorda County and MAT 1177, and Ohio regulatory or local zoning dockets for Long Ridge and Coshocton. Any Plano filing should be examined for whether it is a real facility or an office. Above all, the claim history after May 2021 needs to be backfilled before conclusions are drawn about current delivery credibility.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-13The record supplied here ends in May 2021 at claim 14645. That leaves everything after the Hardin buildout unexamined, including the Texas, Ohio and Plano sites now listed as announced. Read this as a verdict on MARA's early mining pivot, not its current pipeline. The 2013 and 2014 entries (20897, 20898, 20896, 20895) describe a 26-country footprint and UN Women and EY partnerships, which do not match the predecessor patent-licensing business. They look like entity-resolution errors and should be purged before publication. On capacity, the trajectory runs steadily upward. The fleet target was 240 PH/s through mid-2020 (14906, 14887, 14871). It rose to 294 PH/s within weeks (14858). It then jumped by roughly an order of magnitude with the 10,500 and 10,000 unit S-19 Pro orders (14842, 14762). Hardin was framed as 100 MW in total with a 30 MW first phase (14789, 14790), and a 30 MW second phase followed (14646). Hardin now carries a cancelled status, and nothing in the visible claims announces or explains that reversal. That is the clearest case of a revision made without acknowledgement. Dates held where they were testable. The mid-August 2020 delivery of 660 miners verified (14873, 14854), and so did the 10,000-unit tranche due by March 2021 (14762). The fourth-quarter 2020 delivery of 1,000 units (14855) was never checked against an outcome. The Quebec lease shows two problems. It is marked abandoned under the Quebec project (15229) but remains not yet verifiable under Granby (15219), and Granby is still listed as announced, so the two project rows probably describe one site. The SelectGreen purchase was withdrawn (15062) and then restated as complete (14851, 14883) without explanation. No independent evidence appears anywhere in this record: no permits, no interconnection queue positions, no local reporting. Every capacity claim rests on company disclosure alone, and no project carries a recorded megawatt or cost figure. Over the next 90 days, the third-quarter filing should state energized megawatts and say plainly whether the announced Texas and Ohio sites are under construction, paused or reclassified. Check ERCOT large-load interconnection filings for MAT 1177, Matagorda County and Hansford County. Check Ohio utility and siting dockets for Long Ridge and Coshocton. Finally, re-ingest the claims after 14645 so that any revision since 2021 can be tested against what was originally promised.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-13The record supplied here ends mid-entry in May 2021, so this read covers Marathon's early build-out rather than its current portfolio. That gap is the most important finding. Every project now listed as operational or announced, from Granbury and McCamey to Long Ridge, Coshocton, Matagorda County and MAT 1177, carries no capacity or cost figure, and none of them appears in the visible claims. The pre-2019 entries also need cleanup before publication. The patent acquisitions (21016, 21020, 21031) reflect Marathon's patent-licensing era, but the 26-country footprint and the UN Women and EY partnerships (20897, 20896, 20895) do not read like this company and look misattributed.
Where capacity was stated, it grew rather than shrank. The fleet hashrate target of 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871) became 294 PH/s within weeks (14858) as S-19 Pro orders expanded. At Hardin, the original plan of a 30 MW first phase toward 100 MW (14790, 14789) was restructured into a 70 MW Phase I and a 30 MW Phase II (14645, 14646). The total stayed the same, but most of it moved into the first phase. Hardin is now cancelled, so that 100 MW commitment did not survive in its announced form.
Near-term equipment dates held. The mid-August 2020 miner deliveries (14873, 14872, 14854) and the 10,000-unit S-19 Pro order due by March 2021 (14762) are all verified. Two items show quiet revision. First, the Q4 2020 delivery of 1,000 S-19 Pros (14855) has no recorded resolution. Second, the SelectGreen purchase was marked withdrawn (15062) and then restated as completed (14851, 14883) without any reconciliation.
The Quebec records conflict with each other. The same lease running to November 2022 is tagged abandoned under Quebec (15229) and not yet verifiable under Granby (15219). Meanwhile Granby is still listed as announced, even though the operating partnerships there (15198, 14859) suggest it was running in 2019 and 2020. These are probably one facility and should be merged or reconciled.
No independent evidence, such as permits, interconnection filings or local reporting, appears anywhere in the record. Nothing external corroborates the announced pace for any site.
Over the next 90 days, there are three things to watch. The first is whether Marathon attaches megawatt figures and in-service dates to Long Ridge, Coshocton, Matagorda County, MAT 1177 and Plano. The second is whether large-load interconnection entries with ERCOT for the Texas sites, and utility or siting filings in Ohio, match those figures. The third is whether the full post-2021 claim set, once loaded, shows the same pattern seen here: equipment dates that hold, and facility plans that get reshaped or dropped without acknowledgement.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-12The supplied record breaks off at claim 14647 (May 2021), so this read covers Marathon's early build-out in depth and its later projects only through their status flags. The oldest entries (20897, 20898, 20895, 20896) describe a 26-country footprint and UN Women and EY partnerships. Those fit neither Marathon's patent-licensing past (21016 through 21035) nor its mining business, and look misattributed. They should be excluded from any capacity baseline.
On capacity, the mining story starts with rapid upward revision. The 240 PH/s fleet target was repeated across three filings (14906, 14887, 14871), then rose to 294 PH/s within weeks (14858). It was soon overtaken by orders for 10,500 and 10,000 S-19 Pro units (14842, 14762). Hardin shows the same pattern at the site level. The 100 MW total held (14789, 14645 plus 14646), but Phase I was quietly recut from 30 MW (14790) to 70 MW (14645) without any explanation in the record. Hardin is now marked cancelled, so the largest capacity commitment on file never became a lasting operating site under this record.
The timeline evidence is better than the capacity evidence. The dated hardware deliveries were verified (14872, 14873, 14854, 14762). The facility-level dates are weaker. The Quebec lease running to November 2022 is flagged abandoned (15229), and the matching Granby lease claim (15219) is still unverifiable. Even so, Granby carries an announced status while Quebec is cancelled, and that inconsistency should be resolved. The SelectGreen purchase was withdrawn (15062) and later restated as completed (14851, 14883) with no acknowledgement of the reversal.
The record contains no independent corroboration of the claimed pace: no permits, no ERCOT or PJM interconnection queue entries, and no on-the-ground reporting. Every one of the sixteen listed projects has null capacity and null cost. The operational sites, including Granbury, McCamey, Garden City, Ellendale, Jamestown, Kearney, Hansford County and Abu Dhabi, have their status asserted but no supporting claim history in the material provided.
Over the next 90 days, the third-quarter 10-Q due in early November is the main test. It should show energized megawatts by site and whether MAT 1177, Matagorda County, Plano, Long Ridge and Coshocton have moved beyond announced status. In parallel, check the ERCOT large-load interconnection queue for the Texas sites and Ohio PUC and PJM filings for Long Ridge and Coshocton. Also watch whether Granby is formally retired. Any site that stays announced with no queue position by year-end should be treated as aspirational.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-12The ledger supplied here ends mid-record at May 2021, so this read covers Marathon's early buildout and cannot assess the current Texas, Ohio or Plano pipeline. The 2013-2014 entries (20897, 20898, 20896, 20895) describe a multinational entrepreneurship footprint that does not fit Marathon Patent Group's history. They look like misattributed records and should be set aside. On capacity, the pattern is quiet re-scoping rather than outright shrinkage. Fleet hashrate guidance held at 240 PH/s across three filings (14906, 14887, 14871). It then rose to 294 PH/s a week later (14858) once the Compute North hosting arrangement and additional S-19 orders entered the picture, with no reconciliation of the two figures. Hardin is the clearer case. It was announced at 30 MW for Phase I within a 100 MW target (14790, 14789), then restated seven months later as a 70 MW Phase I and a 30 MW Phase II (14645, 14646). The total stayed the same, but the phasing was inverted without explanation, and the project now sits as cancelled. Timing claims tied to hardware deliveries largely held: the mid-August 2020 S-19 Pro and MicroBT deliveries (14872, 14873, 14854) and the 10,000-unit order (14762) are all verified. The Quebec lease tells a different story. One record marks it abandoned (15229), while a parallel record, tagged to Granby, remains unverifiable (15219). The site appears in the project list as cancelled with no claim documenting the exit. The SelectGreen purchase is similarly muddled: it is marked withdrawn (15062), yet later filings describe the same 6,000-unit deal as completed (14883, 14851). Independent corroboration is absent throughout. No permit, interconnection-queue or on-the-ground evidence is attached to any site, and every project, including the seven listed as operational, carries a null capacity figure. That leaves Marathon's stated pace effectively self-reported in this dataset. Over the next 90 days, the priority is to backfill post-2021 claims so the announced sites (Long Ridge, Matagorda County, Coshocton, Plano, MAT 1177) can be tracked against firm megawatt and date commitments. Specific items to watch are capacity disclosures in the Q3 2026 10-Q, ERCOT large-load interconnection filings for the Texas sites, Ohio siting or utility filings for Coshocton and Long Ridge, and whether any announced site is reclassified or dropped without a corresponding claim, as Hardin and Quebec were.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-12The record supplied for Marathon is truncated at May 2021, so this read covers the Hardin, Quebec/Granby and early fleet-buildout era. It cannot speak to the sites the project list shows as operational or announced today, including Granbury, Ellendale, Abu Dhabi, Plano and Coshocton, none of which carry capacity or cost figures here. The 2013-2014 entries on country footprints and the UN Women and EY partnerships (20897, 20898, 20896, 20895) do not fit a mining or patent business. They look like misattributed records and should not be weighed. Capacity framing scaled up quickly and was reshaped quietly. The fleet hashrate target held at 240 PH/s across three statements (14906, 14887, 14871), then became 294 PH/s within days (14858) without a stated reconciliation. Hardin is the clearest case. The 100 MW total in 14789 survived, but the phase split moved from a 30 MW Phase I (14790) to a 70 MW Phase I plus 30 MW Phase II (14645, 14646). The record shows no acknowledgement of that change. Near-term equipment dates held up well. The mid-August 2020 deliveries (14873, 14854, 14872) and the 10,000-unit S-19 order due by March 2021 (14762) are verified. The Q4 2020 tranche of 1,000 S-19s (14855) has no recorded outcome. The SelectGreen purchase was marked withdrawn (15062) and then restated as completed (14851, 14883), a sequence worth flagging. Facility-level timelines are weaker. The Quebec lease running to November 2022 appears as both abandoned (15229) and not yet verifiable (15219). Granby is still listed as announced despite operating claims dating to 2019 (15198, 14859). Hardin is now cancelled with no dated cancellation claim in this excerpt. That makes the 100 MW narrative unresolved rather than visibly retired. No independent evidence appears anywhere in the record, including permits, utility filings, interconnection queue entries and site reporting. Every capacity figure here therefore rests on company statements alone. Over the next 90 days, the priority is ingesting post-2021 claims so the announced Texas and Ohio sites get dated capacity and timeline baselines. After that, check ERCOT large-load and PJM queue filings and county permitting for Matagorda, Hansford, Coshocton and Long Ridge against whatever megawatt figures Marathon attaches. Finally, look for a filing that explicitly reconciles the Hardin exit and the Quebec lease's end.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-10This record covers only part of Marathon's history. The supplied claims stop in May 2021 at claim 14650, so the current pipeline cannot be assessed from it: Long Ridge, MAT 1177, Matagorda County, Coshocton and Plano appear only as status labels with no capacity, cost or dated milestones. The earliest entries also need cleaning. Claims 20896 through 20898, covering UN Women and EY partnerships and operations across 26 countries, do not fit Marathon's patent-licensing predecessor and look misattributed to it. The patent-era acquisitions (21015 through 21035) are not facility claims at all.
In the mining era, announced capacity grew quickly. The fleet target went from 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871) to 294 PH/s within weeks (14858), and then to a 10,500-unit S-19 Pro order (14842) that dwarfed both. Hardin shows a quieter kind of revision. The original 100 MW plan had a 30 MW Phase I (14789, 14790). By May 2021 it was described as a 70 MW Phase I and a 30 MW Phase II (14645, 14646). The total was the same, but the phasing was reversed with no acknowledgement in the record, and the site is now listed as cancelled.
Near-term delivery promises held well. The mid-August 2020 shipments (14854, 14872, 14873) and the 10,000-unit March 2021 order (14762) are all verified. Facility commitments fared worse. The Quebec lease running to November 2022 is marked abandoned in 15229, yet the same lease is still not_yet_verifiable under Granby in 15219. That conflict needs to be reconciled before Granby's announced status means anything. The SelectGreen purchase was recorded as withdrawn (15062) and then restated as completed (14851, 14883).
The record contains no independent evidence: no permits, no interconnection queue positions, no site reporting. Nothing here supports or contradicts the announced pace of any active project.
Over the next 90 days, the first priority is to load the post-2021 claims so the open projects can be dated. After that, check ERCOT queue and county filings for the Texas sites and PJM queue and Ohio Power Siting Board filings for Long Ridge and Coshocton. Also watch the Q3 2026 filing for capacity or energization dates attached to any project still listed as announced.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-10Marathon's capacity record is really two companies stitched together, and the early layer should be read with caution. The 2013-2014 entries are patent-portfolio acquisitions and licensing deals from the Marathon Patent Group era. The multinational-footprint and partnership claims among them (20897, 20898, 20896, 20895) look like misattributed records that say nothing about mining infrastructure. The facility story starts in mid-2019 with the Quebec lease (15229, 15230, 15219). The record contradicts itself there: the same November 2022 lease end-date is tagged abandoned under the Quebec project and still not_yet_verifiable under Granby. Both labels cannot be right, and the abandonment was never accompanied by an explicit company statement.
Announced compute capacity drifted upward rather than shrinking. The fleet target moved from 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871) to 294 PH/s within weeks (14858) as S-19 Pro orders were layered on (14853, 14842). The near-term delivery promises in this window are the strongest part of the record: the August 2020 S-19 Pro and M31S+ shipments (14872, 14873, 14854) and the 10,000-unit order due by March 2021 (14762) are all marked verified. The SelectGreen S-9 purchase is murkier. It was withdrawn (15062), then restated as completed months later (14883, 14851) without the reversal being explained.
Hardin is where the trajectory breaks. In October 2020 it was framed as a 30 MW first phase toward 100 MW (14790, 14789). By May 2021 the same 100 MW was re-split into a 70 MW Phase I and a 30 MW Phase II with fresh cost figures (14645, 14646). That is a silent re-baselining, not a scale-up. The project now sits as cancelled, and the record contains no dated claim marking when or why.
Independent corroboration is thin across the board. The record holds no permit, interconnection-queue or site-level reporting for any project. The verified items are equipment deliveries, not energized megawatts.
The largest gap is forward-looking. MAT 1177, Long Ridge, Matagorda County, Coshocton, Plano and Granby are all listed as announced, with no capacity, cost or date attached in the record as supplied, which also appears truncated after claim 14650. Over the next 90 days, watch for three things. First, any MW or energization dates Marathon attaches to these sites. Second, matching ERCOT interconnection entries for the Texas projects and PJM queue activity for Long Ridge and Coshocton. Third, whether Granby's status is reconciled with the Quebec cancellation. Until filings corroborate a date, treat each of these as a declared intention rather than a delivery schedule.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-10Marathon's record is almost entirely about machines and megawatts announced in 2019 to 2021, and it says little about the sites now listed as operational or announced. The 2013 to 2014 entries (20897, 20898, 20896, 20895) describe a multinational with UN Women and EY tie-ups, which does not fit Marathon's patent-holding predecessor. They look like an entity-resolution error and should be excluded from any trajectory read. The input also ends at claim 14650 in May 2021, so this read covers only the early mining build-out.
The early capacity statements scaled up quickly. The fleet target was 240 PH/s through mid-2020 (14906, 14887, 14871), rose to 294 PH/s within weeks (14858), and then the company committed to 10,000-plus S-19 Pro units (14842, 14762). Hardin moved the other way in composition but not in size. In October 2020 it was a 100 MW target with a 30 MW Phase I (14789, 14790). By May 2021 Phase I was 70 MW and Phase II was 30 MW (14645, 14646). The total held, but the phasing was reversed with no stated reason. Hardin is now marked cancelled, and nothing in the supplied record explains why.
Near-term delivery dates mostly held. The August 2020 miner deliveries (14872, 14873, 14854) and the 10,000-unit order (14762) are verified. The Q4 2020 delivery of 1,000 units (14855) was never confirmed either way. The SelectGreen purchase was marked withdrawn in November 2019 (15062) and then restated as completed in 2020 (14883, 14851) without the reversal being explained. The Quebec lease shows up under two projects with conflicting statuses: abandoned under Quebec (15229) and not yet verifiable under Granby (15219), even though its November 2022 end date passed long ago.
The record contains no independent evidence, such as permits, interconnection queue positions, or local reporting, for any site. That matters most for MAT 1177, Matagorda County, Plano, Long Ridge and Coshocton, which are announced with no stated capacity or cost.
Over the next 90 days, watch whether the Q3 2026 filing attaches megawatt figures and energization dates to the announced Texas and Ohio sites. Check whether those sites appear in ERCOT large-load interconnection filings or Ohio siting and utility dockets. Look for any company statement that settles whether Granby is still active. Until claims after 2021 are loaded and checked against third-party records, the current pipeline should be treated as unverified.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-10The record supplied for Marathon is heavily weighted toward its pre-mining history and stops abruptly in May 2021 (claim 14650 is truncated mid-entry), so this read covers the 2019 to 2021 build-out and flags gaps rather than speculating about the current portfolio. The 2013 to 2014 patent acquisitions and partnerships (21015 through 21042, 20895, 20896) reflect the Marathon Patent Group era and say nothing about facility delivery. Claims 20897 and 20898, which describe operations in 26 countries and an African footprint, do not match this company and look like an entity-resolution error worth correcting upstream.
On capacity, the hashrate target grew modestly and transparently, from 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871) to 294 PH/s (14858) within about six weeks in mid-2020, driven by incremental S-19 Pro orders. Hardin is the more telling case. It was announced at 100 MW total with a 30 MW Phase I (14789, 14790). By May 2021 that had become a 70 MW Phase I and a 30 MW Phase II (14645, 14646). The total held, but the phasing was inverted with no stated reason, and the project now carries a cancelled status that no claim in this record explains.
Dated promises mostly held. The mid-August 2020 miner deliveries (14854, 14872, 14873) and the 10,000-unit S-19 Pro order due by March 2021 (14762) are verified. The weak spot is the Quebec lease running to November 2022. It is marked abandoned under 15229 but still not_yet_verifiable under 15219, even though that date passed nearly four years ago. The SelectGreen S-9 purchase was withdrawn (15062) and then restated as completed in 2020 (14851, 14883) without any acknowledgement in the record of the reversal.
No independent evidence is attached to any claim. The record contains no permits, interconnection-queue entries, or site reporting, so the announced pace rests entirely on company statements and the delivery verifications noted above.
The Texas, Ohio, and North Dakota sites listed as operational or announced (MAT 1177, Matagorda County, Long Ridge, Coshocton, Plano) have no capacity, cost, or timeline claims in this extract. That is the most important gap. Over the next 90 days, three things matter: the Q3 2026 10-Q, expected in early November, for MW and timeline figures on those sites; ERCOT large-load interconnection filings covering the Matagorda and MAT 1177 sites; and Ohio siting or utility filings for Long Ridge and Coshocton. Closing out the stale Granby lease claim and explaining the Hardin cancellation would also clean up the historical baseline against which those newer promises should be judged.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-10The record supplied is truncated at claim 14647 and stops in May 2021. It contains no capacity or timeline claims for any of the projects now marked announced, including MAT 1177, Long Ridge, Matagorda County, Coshocton and Plano. This read therefore covers Marathon's early buildout, not its current pipeline. Several entries also look misattributed. The UN Women and EY partnerships (20896, 20895) and the 19- and 26-country footprint claims (20898, 20897) do not match either the patent-licensing predecessor or the mining company. They should be excluded before publication.
On capacity, the fleet-level hashrate target held at 240 PH/s across three filings (14906, 14887, 14871). It then rose to 294 PH/s in August 2020 (14858), which is consistent with the added S-19 Pro orders rather than an unexplained jump. Hardin is less clean. The October 2020 framing was a 100 MW site with a 30 MW Phase I (14789, 14790). By May 2021 Phase I was described as 70 MW and Phase II as 30 MW (14645, 14646). The total held, but the phase sizes were effectively inverted with no stated rationale. Hardin is now cancelled, so the 100 MW figure never reached completion.
On dates, the near-term hardware commitments are the strongest part of the record. The mid-August 2020 delivery of 660 S-19 Pros (14873, 14854) and the 10,000-unit order due by March 2021 (14762) are both verified. The fourth-quarter 2020 tranche of 1,000 units (14855) has no verification status. The Quebec lease is internally contradictory. The same November 2022 term appears as abandoned (15229) and as not yet verifiable under Granby (15219), and the Quebec project itself is cancelled. The SelectGreen miner purchase was marked withdrawn (15062) but restated as completed in later filings (14883, 14851). This record does not resolve whether the withdrawal or the restatements are correct.
The record contains no independent evidence, such as permits, interconnection queue positions or site reporting, for any facility. The verified items are equipment deliveries, not energized megawatts.
Over the next 90 days, the first priority is whether Marathon attaches megawatt and cost figures to the announced projects, all of which currently show none. Beyond that, ERCOT large-load queue filings for the Texas sites, PJM and Ohio regulatory activity for Long Ridge and Coshocton, and whether Plano is framed as AI or HPC capacity distinct from mining would each give the first external test of the current pipeline.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-10The supplied record cuts off mid-entry at claim 14647 (May 2021), so this read covers only Marathon's early mining build-out. The operational Texas, North Dakota, Nebraska and Abu Dhabi sites, and the announced MAT 1177, Long Ridge, Matagorda, Coshocton and Plano projects, have no capacity, cost or timeline claims in the visible data. Treat any judgment on the current portfolio as unsupported until those claims are loaded. The 2013-2014 entries (claims 21015 through 21035, 20895 through 20898) belong to the patent-licensing predecessor business and say nothing about facility delivery.
Within the mining era, announced scale moved up quickly and was sometimes reframed rather than reconciled. The fleet hashrate target held at 240 PH/s across three statements (14906, 14887, 14871), then became 294 PH/s eight days later (14858), with no bridging explanation in the record. Hardin was first presented as a 30 MW Phase I within a 100 MW total (14790, 14789). Seven months later it was described as a 70 MW Phase I and a 30 MW Phase II (14645, 14646), which reverses the phase sizing without acknowledgement. The project is now marked cancelled, and no closing claim explains the outcome.
Where dates were attached, Marathon largely delivered. The mid-August 2020 miner shipments (14872, 14873, 14854) and the 10,000 S-19 Pro units due by March 2021 (14762) are all verified. The fourth-quarter 2020 tranche of 1,000 S-19 Pros (14855) carries no hard date and remains only stated. The SelectGreen equipment purchase was marked withdrawn (15062), yet it reappears as a completed acquisition in later filings (14883, 14851), which needs reconciliation. The Quebec lease running to November 2022 appears twice: as abandoned under Quebec (15229) and as not yet verifiable under Granby (15219). That second status is stale now that the date has passed, and the duplicate inflates the open-promise count.
The record contains no independent corroboration: no permits, no interconnection queue entries, no site reporting. The announced pace therefore rests entirely on company statements and on the verified equipment deliveries.
Over the next 90 days, three things matter. First, ingest Marathon's post-2021 claims, especially the capacity and energization dates for the announced Texas and Ohio sites. Second, pull ERCOT and PJM queue positions for Matagorda, MAT 1177 and Long Ridge. Third, resolve the duplicated Quebec/Granby lease and the status conflict on the SelectGreen purchase before scoring Marathon's reliability.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-09The record supplied here ends partway through May 2021 (claim 14650 is cut off), so it says nothing about the Texas, Ohio and North Dakota sites that now make up most of Marathon's footprint. What it does show is an early pattern that is worth knowing before reading anything newer. The 2013-2014 entries describe the patent-licensing business that preceded the miner, and several of them (20895 through 20898, covering UN Women, EY and a 19- or 26-country presence) do not appear to belong to this company at all. They should be treated as entity-resolution errors, not as capacity history.
On scale, the mining-era targets ratcheted up quickly. The first stated fleet was 6,000 used S-9 units (15150, 15136). By mid-2020 the aggregate hashrate goal was 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871). Within weeks that rose to 294 PH/s (14858), and orders followed for 10,000 to 10,500 S-19 Pro machines (14762, 14842). Hardin was framed as a 100 MW site (14789) built in 30 MW phases (14790, 14646). It is now marked cancelled, as is the original Quebec lease site (15229, 15230). Neither cancellation is reflected anywhere in the claim stream.
On dates, the record is weak in both directions. Delivery promises such as the mid-August 2020 S-19 shipment (14873, 14854) and the March 2021 completion of the 10,000-unit order (14762) remain unverified. The SelectGreen S-9 purchase was marked withdrawn (15062) and then restated as completed in later filings (14883, 14851) with no explanation of the reversal. Claim 14734 carries a promised-by date that precedes its own filing date, which looks like an extraction artifact rather than a slip. None of these claims is tied to a permit, an interconnection-queue position or on-the-ground reporting. The announced pace therefore rests entirely on company statements and supplier contracts.
In the next 90 days, the useful checks are mostly outside the company's own disclosures. Long Ridge, Coshocton, Matagorda County, MAT 1177 and Plano are all carried as announced with no stated capacity. ERCOT large-load and generation-interconnection entries would test the Texas sites, and PJM queue and Ohio Power Siting Board filings would test the Ohio pair. The Q3 2026 10-Q and earnings materials, expected in early November, are where announced megawatts should either gain dates and dollar figures or quietly stop appearing. The record should also be backfilled past May 2021 before any of the operational-site claims are scored.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-09Marathon's visible record covers only two of its fifteen listed sites, Quebec/Granby and Hardin, and it breaks off mid-2021. None of the fifteen projects carries a capacity or cost figure. The Texas, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio and Abu Dhabi sites appear only as names, so this read covers the early mining build-out, not the current portfolio. The 2013–2014 entries on African operations, UN Women and EY (20898, 20897, 20896, 20895) look misattributed to the patent-licensing predecessor or to an unrelated entity, and should not be weighed. On scale, the hashrate target moved up rather than down. Statements through mid-2020 anchored on roughly 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871). By August 2020 that had become 294 PH/s (14858), and within days a 10,500-unit S-19 Pro order (14842) implied a much larger ambition. Hardin was framed as 30 MW in Phase I scaling to 100 MW (14790, 14789), but nothing in the excerpt confirms either figure was energized. Dates have held poorly. The mid-August 2020 S-19 Pro and MicroBT deliveries (14873, 14854, 14872) slipped. The 700-unit MicroBT purchase was dated to June 2020 and is also flagged late (14852). The 10,000-unit order promised by March 2021 (14762) slipped as well. The Hardin services agreement was referenced with an October 2020 date but was restated and re-papered through April and May 2021 (14734, 14738, 14649). The SelectGreen S-9 purchase is the clearest unacknowledged revision. It was marked withdrawn in November 2019 (15062), then reappeared as completed in the August 2020 filings (14851, 14883), with no reconciliation visible in the record. The record contains no independent evidence: no permits, interconnection-queue entries or site reporting. The Hardin capacity figures rest entirely on company statements tied to the Beowulf power agreement (14791, 14801), so the pace cannot be independently confirmed from this file. Over the next 90 days, three things are worth watching. First, whether post-2021 claims are ingested at all, since the truncation hides the period that matters. Second, whether any of the thirteen undocumented sites gains a stated MW figure, especially the Texas and North Dakota locations, where ERCOT and MISO queue filings could be checked against announcements. Third, whether Marathon's own disclosures ever reconcile the SelectGreen withdrawal and the Hardin phase targets with what was actually energized.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-08The record supplied here is truncated after claim 14649 (May 2021), so this read covers Marathon's early transition from patent licensor to bitcoin miner. It cannot speak to the later sites on the project list: MAT 1177, Long Ridge, Matagorda County, Abu Dhabi, Ellendale, Jamestown, Kearney, Coshocton, Garden City, McCamey, Granbury and Plano. Every one of those carries status=announced with no capacity or cost attached. A ledger in which fifteen sites remain at announced is itself a data-quality finding. Several of those locations should by now have either an operating figure or an explicit retirement. The 2013-2014 entries (20897, 20898, 20895, 20896) describe a 26-country footprint and African expansion that do not match Marathon's patent-monetisation business of that era, and they look like an entity-resolution error worth auditing before publication. On capacity, the trajectory runs upward but restates itself quickly. The fleet hashrate target sat at 240 PH/s across three filings (14906, 14887, 14871), then became 294 PH/s within weeks (14858). The new figure was built from component estimates of 73 and 56 PH/s (14857, 14856). Hardin entered at 100 MW with a 30 MW first phase (14789, 14790), and no later claim in view updates either number. Dates are where the pattern is weakest. The SelectGreen purchase of 6,000 S-9 units was due by September 2019 (15071), was recorded as withdrawn in November 2019 (15062), and then reappeared as a completed purchase in July and August 2020 (14883, 14851). Nothing on the record reconciles that reversal. The mid-August 2020 delivery of 660 S-19 Pros (14873, 14854), the MicroBT order (14852) and the 10,000-unit S-19 Pro batch due by March 2021 (14762) are all flagged delayed. The Hardin services agreement was re-papered at least three times (14756, 14738, 14734) before Beowulf was compensated in equity (14649), which suggests the counterparty terms moved more than the capacity did. The Quebec lease entries (15219, 15229) are tagged delayed, but a lease end date is not a delivery promise, and that tag should probably be cleared. No independent evidence is present in this record: no permits, no interconnection queue entries, no site reporting. The announced pace is therefore company-sourced only. Over the next 90 days, the priority is to restore the claim history after May 2021, check the Texas sites against ERCOT large-load interconnection filings, and check Long Ridge and Coshocton against Ohio utility and PUCO dockets. The third-quarter results should also show whether any announced site finally reports energized megawatts.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-08The record supplied here ends in May 2021, so this read covers Marathon's early build-out only. None of the fifteen listed projects carries a capacity or cost figure, and most (Abu Dhabi, Ellendale, Jamestown, Kearney, Coshocton, Granbury, Garden City, McCamey, Plano, Matagorda, Long Ridge) have no supporting claim in the excerpt. The 2013-2014 entries (20897, 20898, 20896, 20895) describe a 26-country business with an African footprint and UN Women and EY partnerships. Those look like an entity-resolution error rather than Marathon history and should be excluded before publication. The patent acquisitions (21015-21036) belong to the Marathon Patent Group predecessor and are not facility evidence.
On scale, the trajectory runs steadily upward. It starts at 1,400 deployed units in Quebec (15220), moves to a 6,000-unit S-9 purchase (15150, 15136), then to a 240 PH/s target (14906, 14887, 14871) quickly raised to 294 PH/s (14858). Orders followed for 10,500 and 10,000 S-19 Pros (14842, 14762), and Hardin was framed as a 30 MW first phase of 100 MW (14790, 14789). Each restatement enlarged the ambition. None shrank it explicitly.
Dates held poorly. The SelectGreen S-9 deal was due by September 2019 (15071), marked withdrawn (15062), then reappeared in 2020 filings as completed (14883, 14851) without a clear account of the reversal. S-19 Pro and MicroBT deliveries promised for mid-August 2020 slipped (14873, 14854, 14872), and the MicroBT date itself shifted between 14852 and 14872. The 10,000-unit batch due by March 2021 is flagged delayed (14762). The Hardin services agreement was re-papered three times (14756, 14738, 14734) before being restructured with $11.22 million in equity compensation to Beowulf and 2P1 (14649). That pattern points to renegotiation rather than smooth execution. The Quebec lease appears under both Granby and Quebec tags (15219, 15229), likely a duplicate.
The record contains no permits, interconnection queue entries, or on-site reporting for any project. The announced pace is therefore supported only by company statements.
Over the next 90 days, the Q3 2026 10-Q due in early November is the main checkpoint. It should be reconciled against the project list to confirm which sites are owned, hosted, or abandoned. ERCOT, MISO, SPP and PJM queue filings tied to the Texas, North Dakota, Nebraska and Ohio sites would provide the first independent signal. Any capacity figure finally attached to Abu Dhabi or Granbury should be compared with its earlier unquantified announcement.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-07Marathon's capacity story in this record is mainly about miners and hashrate, not about building sites. The 2019 plan centred on 6,000 used S-9 units for the Quebec lease (15150, 15141). By mid-2020 the target was 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871). Within weeks it rose to 294 PH/s (14858), and days later came a 10,500-unit S-19 Pro order (14842). The first claim tied to a power-defined site is Hardin: 100 MW total with a 30 MW Phase I (14789, 14790). That marks the shift from leased space to dedicated capacity. Ambition clearly grew, but nothing here records commissioned megawatts against those figures. The 2013-2014 patent-era entries are a different business. Claims 20895-20898, covering 26 countries, African operations and UN Women and EY partnerships, do not fit any Marathon business line and look misattributed. They should be checked before publication.
Dates have not held well. Every equipment delivery date has slipped: the mid-August 2020 S-19 arrival (14873, 14854), the MicroBT batch (14872, 14852) and the 10,000-unit tranche promised by March 2021 (14762). The Hardin services agreement, dated October 2020, was signed and amended repeatedly through May 2021 (14734, 14738, 14649). Those amendments read as renegotiation, not progress. The SelectGreen purchase is marked withdrawn in 15062 but is restated as completed in 14851 and 14883, and the record never explains the difference. That is the clearest case of a revision made without acknowledgement.
The record contains no independent evidence: no permits, no ERCOT, PJM or MISO queue positions, and no on-site reporting. The project table lists all fifteen sites as announced with no capacity or cost. That includes Hardin and Granby, which Marathon is known to have operated and later left. The claims history is also cut off after May 2021. As a result, the newer sites (Ellendale, Jamestown, Kearney, Granbury, McCamey, Garden City, Coshocton, Long Ridge, Abu Dhabi, Plano) have no claims we can test.
Over the next 90 days, the Q3 2026 10-Q in early November is the main checkpoint for energized versus contracted megawatts at each site. For the Texas wind-adjacent and Granbury sites, ERCOT large-load interconnection filings would be the strongest independent signal. For Coshocton and Long Ridge, Ohio siting and PJM records serve the same role. The 15 project rows also need status corrections, and the claims after 2021 need to be backfilled before this trajectory can be fairly judged.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-07The record supplied here ends partway through 2021, so this read covers Marathon's early transition from patent holder to miner rather than its current footprint. That gap matters. All fifteen listed projects carry status=announced with no capacity or cost recorded, and the excerpt contains no claims at all for Garden City, McCamey, Ellendale, Jamestown, Kearney, Granbury, Coshocton, Long Ridge, Abu Dhabi or Plano. The 2013-2014 entries on operations in 26 countries, African expansion and the UN Women and EY partnerships (20897, 20898, 20896, 20895) do not fit Marathon's patent business and look like an entity-matching error worth auditing before publication.
Within the visible window, announced capacity grew quickly. The fleet hashrate target rose from 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871) to 294 PH/s within weeks (14858), and a 10,000-plus S-19 Pro order followed (14842, 14762). Hardin held a 100 MW total (14789), but its phasing was relabeled. Phase I was 30 MW in October 2020 (14790) and became 70 MW, with a 30 MW Phase II, by May 2021 (14645, 14646). The record shows no explanation for the change.
Dates slipped often, and the slips were seldom acknowledged. The 700 MicroBT units were promised by mid-2020 (14852) and pushed to mid-August (14872). The 660 S-19 Pro delivery is flagged delayed (14854, 14873). The 10,000-unit order targeted March 2021 and is also flagged delayed (14762). The Hardin services agreement was dated to October 2020 but surfaced in April 2021 (14734). The SelectGreen purchase was withdrawn (15062) and then restated as completed (14851, 14883). The MicroBT model is variously given as M31S+, M30S+ and M305+ (14872, 14868, 14856), which reads as transcription drift rather than three separate orders.
The record holds no independent corroboration. There are no permits, no interconnection-queue entries and no site reporting for Hardin, Granby or any later site. Every capacity figure here is self-reported.
Over the next 90 days, the first priority is to load the full claim history so the later sites carry their own capacity and date claims. After that, check ERCOT queue and county filings for the Texas sites, North Dakota and Nebraska utility filings for Ellendale, Jamestown and Kearney, and Ohio siting records for Coshocton and Long Ridge. Any site that stays capacity-less with no permit trail should be read as aspirational, not delivered.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-07Marathon's facility record is better read as a series of pivots than as one build-out. The pre-2019 entries are patent acquisitions and licensing deals from the company's intellectual-property era (claims 21015 through 21036). The country-footprint and development-partnership items (20895 through 20898) do not fit Marathon's history and look misattributed, so they should not count toward any infrastructure trajectory. The mining story begins with the Quebec lease and the 26,700-square-foot Granby site (15230, 15219). It then moves through a short-lived hosted model with Compute North (14861) and settles on Hardin, Montana: a 100 MW target with a 30 MW first phase (14789, 14790) and a Beowulf power agreement later priced at 2.8 cents per kWh (14647). Announced scale has grown in step with purchase orders rather than physical sites. The fleet target rose from 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871) to 294 PH/s within weeks (14858). It then jumped to orders of 10,000 to 10,500 S-19 Pro units (14762, 14842), which implies a far larger hashrate that was never restated as a consolidated figure in this record. Dates have been soft throughout. The SelectGreen purchase of 6,000 S-9 units missed its September 2019 close (15071, 14851). It was logged as withdrawn (15062), then reappeared as completed in July 2020 (14883) without a reconciling statement. The mid-August 2020 S-19 delivery (14873, 14854), the MicroBT order (14852, 14872), and the 10,000-unit order due by March 2021 (14762) all carry delayed flags. The Hardin services agreement, keyed to October 2020, was re-papered in April and May 2021 (14734, 14738, 14649), which suggests the operating structure was renegotiated rather than simply executed. The record contains no independent evidence for any of these milestones: no permits, no interconnection-queue entries, and no site reporting for Hardin or the fifteen listed projects. Every project, including Long Ridge, Matagorda, Ellendale, Abu Dhabi and Plano, carries no capacity or cost figure, so the current portfolio cannot be tested against stated pace. Over the next 90 days, watch for three things. First, any capacity or energization date attached to a listed project, especially the Texas and North Dakota sites. Second, ERCOT and MISO queue filings or county permits that corroborate them. Third, whether Marathon restates aggregate hashrate in a way that reconciles with its unit orders rather than replacing the old target silently.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-06The excerpt we received ends mid-record at a claim fragment, so this read covers only the visible claims, which run from 2013 to May 2021. It does not reach the newer project list (Ellendale, Kearney, Granbury, Garden City, Abu Dhabi, Coshocton and others), none of which has capacity or cost attached. The earliest entries also need entity review before publication. The 2014 patent acquisitions (21015 through 21036) belong to the Marathon Patent Group predecessor and have no bearing on facilities. The 2013 to 2014 claims about African operations, UN Women and EY (20895 through 20898) do not resemble anything in Marathon's history and look misattributed. Treat both groups as noise in a facility read.
On scale, the visible trajectory is upward and fast. Quebec started as a 26,700 square foot leased site (15230) with 1,400 deployed units (15220). By mid-2020 the hashrate target was 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871), and weeks later it was 294 PH/s (14858). The 10,000 and 10,500 S-19 Pro orders (14762, 14842) followed, along with a Hardin plan of 30 MW in Phase I toward 100 MW total (14790, 14789). The targets were restated upward several times within a single quarter, and the record shows no capacity being retired.
Timelines held less well. The mid-August 2020 S-19 delivery (14854, 14873) and the MicroBT purchase (14852, 14872) are both flagged delayed, as is the 10,000-unit order due by March 2021 (14762). The SelectGreen purchase was withdrawn (15062) and then reappeared as completed against an older 2019 date (14851, 14883), with nothing in the record reconciling the two. The Hardin services agreement was restated with a backdated October 2020 obligation (14734). The Granby lease running through November 2022 (15219, 15229) is flagged delayed without any visible renewal or exit claim.
Independent corroboration is absent from what we were given. No permits, interconnection queue positions or site reporting are attached to any project, so every capacity figure here rests on company statements alone. That matters most for Hardin, where capacity depends on a third-party power plant and a Beowulf power purchase agreement (14791, 14801) rather than on assets Marathon owns.
Over the next 90 days, the priority is ingesting the claims cut off after 14650, since the current portfolio cannot be assessed without them. After that, look for ERCOT and SPP queue entries or county filings for the Texas, North Dakota and Nebraska sites. Also watch whether filings acknowledge the Quebec lease outcome or leave it unaddressed.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-06This read covers only part of Marathon's record. The claim list ends mid-entry in May 2021, so it says nothing evidence-based about the sites that define the company today: Granbury, McCamey, Garden City, Ellendale, Jamestown, Kearney, Coshocton, Abu Dhabi and MAT 1177. None of the fifteen project records carries a capacity or cost figure either, so the project-level view is empty. Several early entries also look misattributed. The 2013 claims of operations across 26 countries and an African presence in 19 (20897, 20898) and the UN Women and EY partnerships (20896, 20895) do not fit the patent-licensing shell Marathon was before it turned to bitcoin. They should be checked before they colour any reading of the company's history.
Within the visible window, announced scale grew in steps rather than shrinking. The 2019 base was 1,400 units in a 26,700 sq ft Quebec space (15220, 15230). The company then announced 6,000 S-9s (15150), a 240 PH/s target (14906, 14887, 14871) and a 294 PH/s target weeks later (14858). In October 2020 that became a 10,000-unit S-19 order (14762) and a Hardin, Montana plan of 30 MW for phase one within 100 MW total (14790, 14789). Each step arrived as a new target, with no statement of how much of the prior one had been delivered.
Timing slipped. The mid-August 2020 S-19 Pro delivery (14873, 14854), the 700 MicroBT units (14872, 14852) and the 10,000-unit order due by March 2021 (14762) are all marked delayed. The SelectGreen purchase is the clearest unacknowledged revision. It was recorded as withdrawn in November 2019 (15062), then restated as completed in August 2020 against its original September 2019 date (14851), with no visible explanation in between. The Hardin services agreement was also re-papered three times (14756, 14738, 14734), the last carrying a promise date that had already passed.
The record contains no independent evidence, such as permits, interconnection queue filings or site reporting, so none of these targets can be checked against the outside world. Over the next 90 days, three gaps matter most. Capacity and cost should be filled in on the fifteen project records. The full post-2021 claim history should be loaded, so the Texas and North Dakota build-out and the Abu Dhabi venture can be judged against their own promises. And interconnection and permit records for Ellendale, Coshocton and the Texas sites should be matched to claims, so stated megawatts can be checked against what the grid has actually approved.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-03The record supplied here ends partway through the 2021 claims, so this read covers Marathon's early mining build-out and cannot assess the newer Texas, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio and Abu Dhabi sites. Those sites appear on the project list with no capacity or cost attached. The 2013 and 2014 entries describe patent-licensing activity (21015 through 21036), and several, such as the 19-country African presence (20898), the UN Women partnership (20896) and the EY partnership (20895), look misattributed. None of them bears on facility delivery. On capacity, the trajectory has mostly been upward revision. The fleet hashrate target moved from 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871) to 294 PH/s within weeks (14858). At Hardin, the stated first phase grew from 30 MW of a 100 MW site (14790, 14789) to 70 MW (14645). Neither change came with an explanation of what drove it. Dates have held less well. The mid-August 2020 S-19 Pro delivery is flagged delayed in two filings (14873, 14854). So is the matching MicroBT order (14872, 14852). The 10,000-unit S-19 Pro order promised by March 2021 is also marked delayed (14762). The Hardin services agreement was dated to October 2020 but surfaces as delayed in April 2021 (14734). The SelectGreen purchase is the clearest case of silent revision. It was marked withdrawn (15062) and then reappeared as completed in later filings (14851, 14883) with no reconciling disclosure in the record. Equipment counts were repeated across filings almost verbatim (15150, 15141, 15101), which inflates the apparent volume of activity. Independent corroboration is absent from what was provided. No permits, interconnection queue positions, or site reporting are attached to Hardin, Granby or Quebec, so the announced pace rests entirely on company statements. In the next 90 days, the priority is to complete the claim history past 2021 and test the listed sites against outside records. Those records are ERCOT large-load interconnection filings for Granbury, McCamey, Garden City, Matagorda and Plano, SPP and MISO queues for Ellendale, Jamestown and Kearney, and PJM records for Coshocton and Long Ridge. The November quarterly filing should be checked for megawatt and cost figures on any of the fifteen sites still carried at announced status, since capacity that remains unquantified this long deserves skepticism.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-10-03The supplied claims log is cut off mid-record after claim 14650 (2021-05-09), so this read covers Marathon's trajectory only through spring 2021. It cannot speak to the later Texas, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio or Abu Dhabi sites listed on the project roster, none of which carries a capacity or cost figure. The 2013-2014 entries reflect the company's earlier patent-licensing identity, and claims 20896-20898 (UN Women, EY, African operations) look like a different 'Marathon' entity merged into this record. They should be excluded until verified.
Within the mining era, announced scale moved upward quickly and in steps. The fleet hashrate target sat at 240 PH/s across claims 14906, 14887 and 14871. It was restated as 294 PH/s within days (14858), then overtaken by orders of 10,500 and 10,000 S-19 units (14842, 14762). At Hardin, the framing went from a 30 MW first phase to a 100 MW total (14790, 14789). The Quebec footprint stayed modest at 26,700 square feet (15230).
Dates have held poorly, and some revisions passed without comment. Delivery of 660 S-19 Pro units by mid-August 2020 is flagged delayed in both 14854 and 14873, as is the 700-unit MicroBT order (14872, 14852). The SelectGreen purchase shows the clearest unacknowledged revision. It was marked withdrawn in November 2019 (15062), then reappeared as completed in 2020 filings with the original September 2019 target still attached (14851, 14883). The MicroBT model is variously recorded as M30S+, M31S+ and M305+ (14868, 14872, 14852), which weakens confidence in the unit-level figures. The Hardin services agreement slipped past its October 2020 target (14734), and its counterparty and compensation terms were restated several times (14756, 14738, 14649).
No independent corroboration appears in the record: no building permits, no interconnection queue positions, and no site reporting for Hardin, Granby or any later location. Every capacity figure here traces back to the company.
Over the next 90 days, the first priority is a complete export of post-2021 claims, so the newer sites can be judged on their own record. The second is whether the next quarterly filing attaches megawatt or energization figures to any of the fifteen 'announced' projects. The third is whether grid-operator queue data or local permitting for those sites, in Texas, North Dakota, Nebraska and Ohio, independently confirms the pace the company implies.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-30The record supplied for this read ends mid-entry in May 2021, so it covers only Marathon's early mining build-out, not the fifteen sites on file. Most of those sites, including Granbury, Garden City, McCamey, Ellendale, Kearney and Abu Dhabi, show no capacity or cost figures, and no dated claims visible here tie to them. The 2013–2014 entries describe patent-portfolio acquisitions (21015 through 21036), which fit the company's pre-mining history as a patent licensor. The multi-country and UN Women items (20896–20898) look like a different entity entirely and should be checked before anyone relies on them.
Within the visible window, announced capacity moved upward in small, quick steps. Management first cited a 240 PH/s deployment target (14906, 14887, 14871). Weeks later that became 294 PH/s (14858). A 10,500-unit S-19 Pro order (14842) was restated as 10,000 units two months afterward (14762), with no reconciliation between the two figures. At Hardin, the company described a 30 MW first phase inside a 100 MW envelope (14790, 14789). Neither figure is followed up with a dated energization claim in the record.
Delivery dates slipped repeatedly, and the company rarely said so directly. The mid-August 2020 arrivals of 660 S-19 Pros and 700 MicroBT units (14873, 14854, 14872) are marked delayed. So is the 10,000-unit batch due by March 2021 (14762). The SelectGreen S-9 purchase is the clearest example of drift. It was withdrawn (15062), then reappeared as completed (15071, 14851) against a September 2019 date it had already missed. The MicroBT model is also named three different ways (14868, 14872, 14856), which makes unit counts hard to reconcile. The Hardin services agreement (14734) points back to an October 2020 date that preceded its own execution.
No permits, interconnection-queue entries or site reporting appear in this record. That means none of the announced pace can be independently corroborated here.
Over the next 90 days, three things matter. First, whether the full claim history reloads and fills in capacity figures for the Texas, North Dakota, Ohio and Nebraska sites. Second, whether ERCOT and MISO queue positions line up with any megawatt figures that surface. Third, whether Hardin's 100 MW ambition is ever formally closed out or quietly dropped from later disclosures.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-30The claims record supplied here stops partway through 2021, so this read covers only Marathon's transition from patent licensing to Bitcoin mining. It says nothing about the fifteen named sites from Granbury and McCamey to Ellendale, Kearney, Coshocton and Abu Dhabi. Every one of those projects carries status=announced with no capacity or cost recorded, so the structured project layer offers no basis for judging current delivery. The 2013-2014 patent acquisitions (21015 through 21036) belong to the Marathon Patent Group era. The African-presence, UN Women and EY entries (20896-20898) look like entity-resolution errors and should be discarded.
Within the visible window, stated capacity grew quickly. The fleet hashrate target stood at 240 PH/s through mid-2020 (14906, 14887, 14871), rose to 294 PH/s within weeks (14858), and was then overtaken by orders for 10,500 and 10,000 S-19 Pro units (14842, 14762). Hardin followed the same pattern. It was announced as a 100 MW site with a 30 MW Phase I (14789, 14790), and by May 2021 Phase I was described as 70 MW at $23 million (14645). That more than doubles the first phase, and the filings in view do not reconcile the change with the original phasing.
Marathon's dates mostly slipped. The mid-August 2020 delivery of 660 S-19 Pros (14873, 14854), the MicroBT order (14852, 14872) and the 10,000-unit tranche due by March 2021 (14762) are all flagged delayed. The Hardin services agreement was promised for October 2020 but appears in April 2021 filings (14734). The SelectGreen purchase was marked withdrawn (15062), then restated as completed (14851, 14883), with no explanation in the record for the reversal.
The record contains no independent corroboration. There are no permits, no interconnection-queue entries and no site reporting, so the announced pace rests entirely on company statements. Hardin's Beowulf power arrangement (14647) is the most concrete input, but it is still self-reported.
Over the next 90 days, the priority is completing ingestion of claims after 2021 so that each named site has dated capacity statements. Once that is done, the third-quarter 2026 results should be checked for energized megawatts by site rather than fleet-level hashrate. The Texas sites should be matched against ERCOT large-load and generation queue filings, Ellendale and Jamestown against MISO or SPP records, and Coshocton and Hannibal against PJM. Any site still reported only as announced without a queue position or permit trail should be treated as aspirational until those records appear.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-27The record we hold for Marathon covers far less than the project list implies. Fifteen sites are listed as announced, and none carries a capacity or cost figure. The claim trail also stops in May 2021 (14647, 14648), so everything from Ellendale and Jamestown through Garden City, McCamey, Granbury, Long Ridge, Matagorda, Coshocton, Plano and Abu Dhabi has no dated capacity or timeline claim behind it. The earliest entries also need care. The patent acquisitions (21015 through 21036) fit Marathon's patent-licensing past. The claims about business in 19 and 26 countries and the UN Women and EY partnerships (20895 through 20898) do not fit this company and look misattributed. They should not inform any read on its facilities.
Within the window we can see, stated capacity went up quickly and delivery lagged. The fleet hashrate target was 240 PH/s in mid-2020 (14906, 14887, 14871). Weeks later it was 294 PH/s (14858), and then came orders for 10,500 and 10,000 S-19 units (14842, 14762). Hardin was framed as a 30 MW first phase toward 100 MW (14790, 14789), backed by an exclusive Beowulf power deal at 2.8 cents per kWh (14791, 14647).
Dates held poorly. The 6,000-unit SelectGreen purchase was promised for September 2019 and flagged delayed (15071, 14851). It was then marked withdrawn (15062) and restated as a completed purchase the next summer (14883), with no reconciliation on the record. Mid-August 2020 delivery of 660 S-19 Pro units slipped (14873, 14854). The 10,000-unit tranche due by March 2021 slipped (14762). The Hardin services agreement, dated to October 2020, surfaced in April 2021 (14734). The Quebec lease through November 2022 is also tagged delayed (15229, 15219).
There is no independent corroboration in this file. It contains no permits, no interconnection queue entries, and no site reporting. The Hardin megawatt figures and every later site rest only on company statements.
Over the next 90 days, the main task is to fill the gap from 2022 to 2026. Marathon's third-quarter 10-Q, due in early November, should give energized megawatts by site, and each figure should be checked against a stated target. For the Texas sites, look for ERCOT large-load interconnection filings. For Long Ridge and Coshocton, look for PJM or Ohio siting records. For Abu Dhabi, see whether any joint-venture capacity is disclosed separately from owned capacity. Until those entries exist, Marathon's announced pace should be read as a claim, not an observed trajectory.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-27The record traces Marathon's footprint from one leased building to a hosted fleet sized in tens of thousands of machines. Capacity has scaled up consistently, but the milestones attached to that growth have almost all slipped. The Quebec lease described a 26,700 square foot site (15230) holding roughly 1,400 units (15220). The first large jump was the 6,000-unit S-9 purchase (15150, 15136). The 2020 re-equipment cycle set a 240 PH/s target (14906, 14887, 14871), then raised it to 294 PH/s within weeks (14858). The Hardin announcement introduced megawatts as the unit: 100 MW total with a 30 MW Phase I (14789, 14790). Phase I was later restated at 70 MW with a 30 MW Phase II (14645, 14637, 14646), and the record contains no explanation for that change. Hosting ambitions peaked at 73,000 miners with Compute North (14591). The only deployment figure in the record is 30,000 machines (16620), which matches the joint-venture tranche (14348) rather than the headline 73,000. Dated promises have fared poorly. The SelectGreen purchase missed its September 2019 date (15071), was marked withdrawn (15062), and then reappeared as completed (14883, 14851) without any stated reconciliation. S-19 Pro deliveries promised for mid-August 2020 slipped (14873, 14854), as did the 10,000-unit order due by March 2021 (14762) and the Hardin services agreement (14734). The Compute North hosting date moved from March 2022 (14591) to June 2022 (14346), and that revision was not flagged as a slip. The 30,000-unit ASIC schedule tied to the same June 2022 date is also marked delayed (14523, 14344). The record contains no independent corroboration of any kind: no permits, no interconnection or large-load queue entries, and no on-site reporting. All fifteen projects, including Hardin, which the claims describe as operating, carry an announced status with blank capacity and cost fields. The pace cannot be verified from this dataset. The supplied claims also stop in March 2022, so the Texas, North Dakota, Ohio, Nebraska and Abu Dhabi sites have no dated promises to test. Over the next 90 days, three things matter most. First, fill in the project table's status and capacity fields from filings. Second, look for ERCOT large-load or interconnection entries for McCamey, Garden City and Granbury, and for utility or regulatory dockets covering Ellendale and Jamestown. Third, check whether current disclosures reconcile the unexplained Hardin Phase I resizing and the gap between 73,000 contracted and 30,000 deployed machines.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-27Marathon's facility record is a story of mining-fleet targets that grew steadily while delivery dates repeatedly slipped. This read covers the claims supplied, which break off in March 2022. Nothing after that point is assessed here. Announced capacity only moved up in this period. The fleet hashrate target was set at 240 PH/s across three consecutive filings (14906, 14887, 14871) and raised to 294 PH/s within weeks (14858). The company then moved to much larger hosting commitments: 73,000 miners with Compute North (14591), a 30,000-miner joint venture (14348), and an 1,800 percent hash rate increase framed as already under way (16621). Hardin is the one site where the structure changed without explanation. The 100 MW total held (14789, 14636), but Phase I went from 30 MW (14790) to 70 MW (14637, 14645), with a new 30 MW Phase II (14638, 14646). No filing in the record explains the change. Dates have not held well. The SelectGreen equipment purchase was due by September 2019 (15071), marked withdrawn (15062), and then reappeared as completed (14851, 14883). None of those filings acknowledges the earlier withdrawal. S19 Pro and MicroBT deliveries promised for mid-August 2020 slipped (14854, 14873, 14872). The Compute North hosting schedule moved from end of Q1 2022 (14592) to end of Q2 2022 (14346), and the Bitmain contract deliveries share that later deadline (14344, 14523). None of these revisions came with a public explanation. Independent corroboration is absent. The record contains no permits, interconnection queue entries, or site reporting for any of the fifteen named locations. Every project, from Granbury and McCamey to Ellendale, Kearney, Coshocton and Abu Dhabi, sits at announced status with no stated capacity or cost. The pace therefore rests entirely on company disclosure. Several of those sites depended on hosting partners, including Compute North (14861, 14590) and Beowulf (14791), so counterparty health matters as much as Marathon's own execution. Over the next 90 days, the most useful step is to extend the claims ledger past early 2022, so later filings can confirm whether the 2022 hosting deadlines were met or quietly dropped. The fifteen announced sites also need megawatt and cost figures. Where available, those figures should be checked against ERCOT and other queue filings for the Texas locations and against state utility dockets in Ohio, North Dakota and Nebraska. A site that stays at announced status with no capacity figure through another reporting cycle should be treated as unverified rather than in progress.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-26The claims supplied for this review end in March 2022, partway through claim 14331. None of the fourteen projects on record carries a stated capacity or cost. That includes the later sites at Granbury, Ellendale, Abu Dhabi and the Ohio locations. So this read covers the early Quebec, Hardin and Compute North phase, not Marathon's current footprint. Capacity framing grew fast but kept being reshaped. The fleet target moved from 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871) to 294 PH/s within weeks (14858). The equipment orders behind it also escalated, from 1,660 S-19 Pros (14853) to 10,500 (14842). At Hardin, the 100 MW envelope held (14789, 14636), but the split changed. A 30 MW Phase I (14790) became a 70 MW Phase I and a 30 MW Phase II (14645, 14646, 14637, 14638). That is a real change in near-term deliverable load, presented without comment. Dates have slipped more often than they have held. The 700 MicroBT units were dated 2020-08-15 in one filing (14872) and 2020-06-30 eight days later (14852), with no explanation. The Compute North hosting commitment for 73,000 miners was due 2022-03-31 (14591, 14592) and was later restated to 2022-06-30 (14346). A March 2022 filing still referenced the original date (14311). The SelectGreen S-9 purchase is the clearest continuity problem. It was marked withdrawn in November 2019 (15062), then reappeared in 2020 filings still carrying its 2019-09-30 promise date (14883, 14851). Against that, the February 2022 claim of 30,000 machines deployed and an 1,800 percent hash rate increase (16620, 16621) is the strongest delivery assertion in the record. However, no independent evidence is attached to test it. There are no permits, utility filings, interconnection-queue entries or site reporting. Compute North's September 2022 Chapter 11 filing is public record and bears directly on the 73,000-miner hosting plan, which the record never revisits. Over the next 90 days, watch whether filings attach megawatt figures and energization dates to the Texas, North Dakota, Ohio and Abu Dhabi sites. Check whether those figures can be matched to ERCOT, MISO, SPP or PJM interconnection records. Also check whether hosted-versus-owned capacity is disclosed separately, given how much of the early growth depended on third-party hosts.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-26The record supplied here stops in March 2022, partway through claim 14344. That limits this read to Marathon's early buildout, which is still instructive. None of the fourteen named sites has a capacity or cost field populated, including the later Texas, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio and Abu Dhabi locations. So there is no current baseline against which to measure delivery.
Within the visible window, announced scale grew quickly, and the stated figures moved more than once. The fleet target went from 1,400 units (15220) to 6,000 S-9s (15150), then to 240 PH/s (14906, 14887) and 294 PH/s (14858) within about two months. It then jumped to 10,500 S-19s (14842). At Hardin, Phase I was first described as 30 MW of a 100 MW total (14790, 14789). Seven months later it appeared as 70 MW, with Phase II at 30 MW (14645, 14637, 14638). No explanation was given for the change. The Compute North hosting commitment began at 73,000 miners (14591). By December 2021 it was expressed through a joint venture covering 30,000 (14348), even though the 73,000 figure was repeated alongside it (14346).
Dates have not held well. Nearly every claim with a promised-by date is flagged delayed. These include the mid-August 2020 S-19 deliveries (14873, 14854), the MicroBT order due by June 2020 (14852), the 10,000-unit tranche due by March 2021 (14762), and the Compute North deadline. That deadline moved from March 2022 (14592) to June 2022 (14346) without any acknowledgement in the claims themselves. The SelectGreen purchase was marked withdrawn (15062), then reappeared as completed (14883, 14851). That sequence deserves reconciliation against the underlying filings.
The record contains no independent corroboration of these figures. There are no permits, no interconnection-queue entries and no site-level reporting. The one hard milestone, 30,000 machines deployed (16620), is company-sourced. It should also be read against Compute North's September 2022 bankruptcy, which falls outside this dataset.
Over the next 90 days, the first test is whether the Q3 2026 10-Q, due in early November, attaches megawatts and energization dates to the Texas, Ohio and Plano sites. The second is whether matching ERCOT and PJM queue entries or county filings appear for Granbury, McCamey, Garden City, Matagorda, Long Ridge and Coshocton. Until the claim history is extended past 2022, the pattern on record is one of repeated upward restatement paired with routine slippage.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-26The record supplied here ends in March 2022, mid-claim, so this read covers Marathon's hosted-mining and Hardin era and says nothing about the later Texas, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio or Abu Dhabi sites. All fourteen projects on file sit at status announced with no capacity or cost attached, which is itself a gap worth closing before any of them is characterized. On scale, the fleet narrative ratcheted upward steadily. The deployed-hashrate target moved from 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871) to 294 PH/s within weeks (14858), then gave way to five-figure S-19 orders (14842, 14762), a 73,000-miner hosting commitment with Compute North (14591), and a claimed 30,000 machines deployed by February 2022 (16620). Hardin's 100 MW envelope held constant, but its internal split did not: Phase I was first 30 MW (14790), later restated as 70 MW with a 30 MW Phase II (14645, 14637, 14638), a reallocation that was not framed as a revision. Dates have a weaker record than capacity. The mid-August 2020 S-19 Pro delivery slipped (14873, 14854), and the MicroBT order carried a June 30 date in one filing (14852) and August 15 in another (14872). The Compute North hosting ramp moved from March 31, 2022 (14592) to June 30, 2022 (14346), and the 30,000-unit delivery schedule (14523) and Hardin power station maintenance (14285) are both flagged delayed. The SelectGreen S-9 purchase is the clearest inconsistency: marked withdrawn in November 2019 (15062), it reappears as a completed purchase in 2020 filings (14883, 14851) without any explanation of the reversal. Independent corroboration is absent from this record. There are no permits, interconnection-queue entries or site reporting attached to any project, so every capacity figure rests on company disclosure and, at Hardin, on a single counterparty power arrangement with Beowulf (14647, 14791). Over the next 90 days, the priority is completing the claim history past March 2022 and attaching capacity and cost to the announced sites. It is also worth checking whether the 2022-dated promises were ever explicitly closed out or quietly dropped. For the Texas sites, look for ERCOT large-load interconnection filings; for Ellendale and Jamestown, North Dakota PSC or MISO queue records; and for Hardin, Montana air-permit status. Those are the documents that would show whether the announced pace has a physical basis.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-26The visible record ends in March 2022, and what it shows is a company whose stated capacity grew fast while its dates slid repeatedly and without comment. None of the fourteen sites on file, from Granbury and McCamey to Ellendale, Kearney and Abu Dhabi, carries a capacity or cost figure, and all remain at announced status. Hardin is the only project with megawatt claims. The ledger therefore describes an equipment buildout more than a facilities one.
Capacity figures have been reshaped rather than simply scaled. The fleet target moved from 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871) to 294 PH/s (14858). The March 2022 figure of 240 PH/s (14286) matches the 2020 target, even though the company claimed 30,000 deployed machines and an 1,800 percent hash-rate increase (16620, 16621). That points to either a stale restatement or an extraction error, and it should be checked against the source filing. Hardin kept its 100 MW total (14789, 14636), but Phase I was first described as 30 MW (14790) and later as 70 MW, with 30 MW moved to Phase II (14645, 14637, 14638). No reason for the change appears in the record. The Compute North hosting commitment of 73,000 miners (14591) sits beside a joint venture sized at 30,000 (14348), so the 73,000 figure was never fully tied to a vehicle.
Dates have not held. The mid-August 2020 deliveries (14854, 14872, 14873), the 10,000-unit S-19 order due by March 2021 (14762), the Hardin services agreement (14734) and the Compute North program (14590, 14592) are all flagged delayed. The Compute North deadline moved from March to June 2022 (14346) without acknowledgement. The SelectGreen purchase was withdrawn (15062) and then reappeared as completed (14883, 14851).
The record contains no permits, interconnection-queue entries or on-the-ground reporting for any site. The announced pace therefore rests entirely on company statements. One external fact matters here: Compute North filed for Chapter 11 in September 2022, which undercuts the hosting claims above.
Over the next 90 days, the first priority is backfilling claims from 2022 to 2026 so that current sites are measured against current promises. For the Texas sites, ERCOT large-load interconnection filings are the key test. For Ellendale, Jamestown and Kearney, the relevant evidence is SPP or MISO queue positions. For Hardin and every other site, the question is whether energized megawatts, rather than nameplate targets, begin to appear in disclosures.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-24The record shows Marathon's announced capacity growing in steps, each step replacing the last before it was delivered. Early claims are small: 1,400 units (15220), then 6,000 S-9s (15150, 15136). By mid-2020 the target was 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871), and weeks later it was 294 PH/s (14858). A 10,500-unit S-19 order followed (14842). Hardin introduced the first megawatt figure, a 100 MW total (14789, 14636), but the phase split changed from a 30 MW Phase I (14790) to a 70 MW Phase I with 30 MW moved to Phase II (14645, 14637). The total stayed the same while the near-term commitment more than doubled, and no reconciling statement appears. The Compute North hosting commitment of 73,000 miners (14591) was later matched by a 30,000-miner joint-venture vehicle (14348), which covers well under half of that headline.
Dated promises have not held. The SelectGreen purchase was due by September 2019 (15071), was marked withdrawn (15062), and then reappeared as completed and still delayed in 2020 (14883, 14851). The mid-August 2020 S-19 deliveries slipped (14854, 14873). The 10,000-unit batch due by March 2021 slipped (14762). The Compute North deadline moved from March 2022 (14590, 14592) to June 2022 (14346), and the 30,000 S-19j deliveries were also tied to June 2022 (14302, 14523). None of these revisions carries an explicit acknowledgement in the record. The new date simply replaces the old one.
The record contains no independent corroboration. There are no permits, no interconnection queue entries and no site reporting. The strongest delivery claim, 30,000 machines deployed and an 1,800 percent hashrate increase (16620, 16621), is self-reported. Ten of the fourteen listed projects, including Long Ridge, Coshocton, Ellendale, Kearney, the Texas sites and Abu Dhabi, have no capacity, cost or dated claim at all in the material provided. The input also appears to be cut off at claim 14317, so the later history is not assessed here.
Over the next 90 days, watch whether Marathon attaches megawatt figures and energization dates to the unquantified sites. Check those figures against ERCOT, SPP, MISO and PJM interconnection filings for the Texas, Dakota, Nebraska and Ohio locations. The key test is whether any new schedule is presented as a revision of a prior one rather than a silent replacement.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-23Marathon's capacity story in this record is one of rapid escalation measured in machines and hashrate rather than in sites. The 240 PH/s deployment target (14906, 14887, 14871) became 294 PH/s within weeks (14858). It was followed by orders of 10,500 and then 10,000 S-19 Pro units (14842, 14762), a 73,000-miner hosting commitment with Compute North (14591), and a claimed 1,800 percent hashrate increase (16621). Hardin is the only site with megawatt figures. Its 100 MW total held steady, but Phase I was restated from 30 MW (14790) to 70 MW (14645, 14637), which moved capacity forward in the schedule rather than adding any. The February 2022 claim of 30,000 machines deployed (16620) sits awkwardly beside the March 2022 purchase of 30,000 S-19j Pro units still due through June (14302). Readers should not treat ordered and energized fleets as interchangeable here.
Dates have slipped repeatedly, usually through restatement rather than acknowledgement. The 6,000-unit SelectGreen purchase was due by September 2019 (15071), was later marked withdrawn (15062), and reappears as completed in 2020 (14851, 14883) with no reconciliation. The S-19 Pro deliveries promised for mid-August 2020 (14854, 14873) were missed. The Compute North hosting target moved from March 2022 (14591) to June 2022 (14346) between filings without comment. That entire hosting channel was then exposed when Compute North entered bankruptcy later in 2022, a fact outside this claim set but material to reading 14346 and 14348.
The record contains no independent corroboration. There are no permits, no interconnection queue entries, and no site-level reporting. All fourteen listed projects remain at status announced with no capacity or cost attached. That includes Granby and Hardin, both of which the company's own claims describe as operating (15198, 14859, 14738). This is a gap in the evidence base, and it also suggests the project records need refreshing. The supplied claim history ends in March 2022, so the later sites (Granbury, McCamey, Garden City, Ellendale, Jamestown, Kearney, Abu Dhabi, the Ohio pair and Plano) have no dated claims to test here.
The first thing to watch in the next 90 days is whether monthly production updates report energized megawatts by site rather than fleet-wide exahash. The second is large-load interconnection filings in ERCOT for the Texas sites and in PJM for Long Ridge and Coshocton, which would give the first external check on announced pace. The third is any restatement of Hardin or Granby status that would let this record move past announced.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-23The capacity record for Marathon is mostly a story of fleet counts rather than facility megawatts, and the one site with firm power figures shows consistent totals but changing phases. Hardin was announced at 100 MW with a 30 MW Phase I (14789, 14790). Seven months later the same 100 MW was split 70/30 (14636, 14637, 14638), with Phase I costed at $23 million (14645). That tripled the near-term tranche without restating the ceiling, so the change reads as a quiet acceleration rather than an expansion. Hashrate guidance moved the same way. The 240 PH/s target was repeated three times (14906, 14887, 14871) before it became 294 PH/s (14858). Machine counts climbed from 6,000 S-9s to 10,000-plus S-19s (14842, 14762) and then to a 73,000-miner hosting plan with Compute North (14591), against 30,000 machines reported deployed in early 2022 (16620).
Dates have held poorly. The mid-August 2020 S-19 Pro delivery (14873, 14854), the June 2020 MicroBT purchase (14852), the 30,000-unit ASIC schedule (14523) and the Bitmain large contract due January 2022 (14343) are all flagged delayed. The Compute North target moved from March to June 2022 (14591 to 14346) without the earlier date being acknowledged as missed. The SelectGreen purchase shows a worse pattern. It was marked withdrawn (15062), then reappeared the following year as a completed acquisition (14883, 14851) with no explanation of the reversal.
None of the supplied claims are corroborated by independent evidence. The record contains no permits, interconnection queue positions or site reporting for any location. Most of the fourteen projects on file, from Ellendale and Jamestown to Garden City, McCamey, Granbury, Long Ridge and Abu Dhabi, carry no capacity or cost figures at all. The claim history also ends in March 2022, mid-record (14284), so any post-2022 build-out cannot be assessed from this data. That gap is itself the main finding.
Over the next 90 days, the third-quarter filing due in early November should show whether Marathon assigns megawatt figures to its Texas, North Dakota, Nebraska and Ohio sites or keeps reporting in exahash. The ERCOT, MISO, SPP and PJM interconnection queues are worth checking for entries matching Granbury, Garden City, Ellendale, Kearney and Long Ridge, since those would give the first third-party check on announced pace. Any fresh phase figures for Hardin-era sites should be compared against the 70/30 split to see whether phase sizes are again being reset without comment.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-22The dominant pattern in this record is restatement rather than progression. A single 6,000-unit S-9 purchase was announced or re-announced at least five times between August and November 2019 (15150, 15141, 15136, 15101, 15071), withdrawn once (15062), then re-presented as new in mid-2020 (14883) and still carried against its original September 2019 date in the retrospective filing (14851). The Hardin services agreement follows the same shape, surfacing four separate times across seven months (14756, 14738, 14734, 14640) with only 14734 acknowledging slippage from the October 2020 commitment. Readers counting announcements would materially overstate activity.
Capacity scaling is more equivocal than the headline numbers suggest. The 240 PH/s target was repeated three times in six weeks (14906, 14887, 14871) before being revised upward to 294 PH/s (14858) with no reconciliation of the earlier figure. At Hardin the total held at 100 MW (14789, 14636) while the phase split inverted: Phase I moved from 30 MW to 70 MW and Phase II absorbed the remainder (14790 versus 14645, 14646, 14637, 14638). That is relabeling of the same envelope, not expansion. Genuine scale arrives only with the Compute North commitments — 73,000 units against a Q1 2022 date (14590, 14591, 14592) narrowed to 30,000 in the joint venture (14347, 14348) — and the deployment confirmed in February 2022 (16620, 16621) landed at the narrower number while the 73,000 figure lapsed without comment (14346).
Independent corroboration is thinnest exactly where it matters. Hardin's PPA pricing and Granby's lease expiry are verifiable, but eleven of the fourteen sites on record carry no capacity, no cost, and no status beyond announced, and the claim series itself terminates in early 2022 — leaving the Texas, North Dakota, Ohio, Nebraska and Abu Dhabi sites unsupported by any capacity assertion at all.
Over the next ninety days, watch whether those sites acquire quantified capacity in filings or remain placeholders; whether ERCOT large-load approvals and MISO queue positions appear for Granbury, McCamey, Ellendale and Coshocton; and whether energized megawatts are reported separately from contracted megawatts. Counterparty concentration in hosting remains the single largest unpriced risk in this trajectory.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-22The dominant pattern here is redenomination rather than compounding. The unit of measure shifts every eighteen months or so — square footage at Granby (15230), then machine counts, then aggregate hashrate, then percentage growth (16621) — and each shift resets the baseline against which the prior promise would have been judged. The 2020 hashrate target is a clean example: 240 PH/s is stated three times across six weeks (14906, 14887, 14871) and then becomes 294 PH/s (14858) without the earlier figure being retired or reconciled, even though the component arithmetic (14856, 14857) implies a different fleet than the one originally described.
Dates have slipped in a specific way: they are absorbed into completion announcements. The SelectGreen 6,000-unit purchase was promised for 2019-09-30 (15071), withdrawn (15062), and then reported as purchased on 2020-08-13 (14851) still carrying the original date — an eleven-month slip presented as delivery. The same transaction also appears as four separate announcements (15150, 15141, 15136, 15101), which inflates apparent activity without adding capacity. Delivery-window claims behave similarly: mid-August 2020 for 660 S19 Pros (14873, 14854), June 2020 for the M30S+ tranche (14852), and the MicroBT order (14872) all lapsed. The larger ambitions — 30,000 units (14523), then 73,000 hosted with Compute North (14590, 14591, 14592, 14346) — were all anchored to the first half of 2022 and all missed, which matters because that hosting counterparty later failed.
Hardin shows quiet phase redefinition: Phase I is 30 MW against a 100 MW total in October 2020 (14790, 14789), then Phase I is 70 MW and Phase II 30 MW in May 2021 (14645, 14646, 14637, 14638). The headline total held; the near-term deliverable tripled on paper without comment.
On corroboration, the supplied record is entirely company-sourced. No permits, interconnection queue positions, or site reporting appear against any entry, and the eleven newer sites — Ellendale, Jamestown, Kearney, Coshocton, Plano, Garden City, McCamey, Granbury, Matagorda, Long Ridge, Abu Dhabi — carry no capacity, cost, or date at all. That absence is the finding.
Over the next ninety days, watch whether any of those sites acquires a megawatt figure and an energization date in the Q3 filing, whether MISO, SPP and PJM queue entries and county air permits appear at Ellendale, Coshocton and Long Ridge, and whether Abu Dhabi reports commissioned rather than contracted capacity.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-21The record supplied here terminates mid-entry at claim 14344 (March 2022), so what follows reads the 2018–2022 arc only; nothing should be inferred about the period since.
The scale trajectory is steep and almost entirely procurement-led. A 26,700 square foot leased room in Quebec with 1,400 machines (15230, 15220) becomes a 240 PH/s target (14906, 14887, 14871), then 294 PH/s (14858) within eight days of the prior figure, with no acknowledgement that the earlier number had been superseded. By mid-2021 the unit of account has shifted again to 73,000 hosted miners (14591). The growth is real in the sense that orders were placed; it is not evidence of energized capacity, because every step is denominated in units bought rather than megawatts running.
The date record is where the pattern hardens. The SelectGreen purchase is the clearest case: promised for September 2019 (15071), marked withdrawn in November 2019 (15062), then reintroduced in July 2020 (14883) and restated as completed in August 2020 (14851) against the original 2019 deadline. A cancellation was quietly reversed without narrative reconciliation. Smaller slips repeat the shape — mid-August 2020 deliveries (14854, 14873), a June 2020 MicroBT order (14852), and the 73,000-miner Compute North timeline that moved from March 2022 (14590, 14592) to mid-2022 (14346) without being flagged as a revision. The February 2022 disclosure of 30,000 machines deployed (16620) is roughly forty percent of what had been promised by then.
Independent corroboration is uneven. Hardin is the strongest case: an exclusive PPA at a stated rate, a land lease, and an O&M agreement against an existing generating asset (14791, 14802, 14801, 14639) are checkable instruments. But the Phase I boundary silently moved from 30 MW (14790) to 70 MW (14645, 14637) while the 100 MW total held, which makes any "Phase I complete" claim non-comparable across filings. The fourteen listed sites — Long Ridge, Matagorda, Abu Dhabi, Ellendale, Kearney and the rest — carry no capacity or cost at all, so no permit or queue check is even possible against them.
Over the next ninety days, watch whether any of those announced sites attaches a megawatt figure and an interconnection queue position, whether the Hardin phase definitions are restated again, and whether the 73,000 target is reconciled or simply retired.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-21The record divides cleanly into two eras with very different disclosure quality. Through 2019 and 2020 the company operated at a scale small enough to describe precisely — a single leased building in Granby and a few thousand machines — and the failure mode was slippage rather than vagueness. The SelectGreen S-9 purchase is the clearest example: announced or re-announced at least five times (15150, 15141, 15136, 15101, 15071), carried once as withdrawn (15062), and ultimately reported closed roughly eleven months after its stated date (14851). Delivery dates set for mid-August 2020 slipped as a group (14873, 14854, 14872), which suggests supplier-side constraint rather than site readiness.
Capacity language escalated without reconciliation. A 240 PH/s target was restated three times in six weeks (14906, 14887, 14871), then replaced by 294 PH/s (14858) with no note that the earlier figure had been superseded. The Hardin phasing shows the same habit in megawatts: the 100 MW total held constant from October 2020 to May 2021 (14789, 14636), but Phase I was quietly recut from 30 MW (14790) to 70 MW (14645, 14637), which changes the near-term energization story substantially while leaving the headline number untouched. The Compute North arrangement is the largest gap between announcement and execution — 73,000 hosted miners promised by Q1 2022 (14590, 14591, 14592), rescheduled to mid-2022 (14346), and materializing as a 30,000-machine joint venture at 82 percent (14347, 14348, 16620), roughly two-fifths of the announced figure.
Independent corroboration is the weakest part of this file. Nothing here carries a permit number, an interconnection queue position, or a site visit. Hardin is a particular blind spot, since power arrived through a PPA at an existing generating asset, so no new queue entry would ever appear to confirm or contradict the schedule. Meanwhile the site list has grown to fourteen locations, every one carried as announced with capacity and cost fields empty — footprint expanding faster than specificity.
Over the next ninety days, the useful tests are narrow: whether any of the newer Texas, Dakota, Ohio or Abu Dhabi sites acquires a stated megawatt figure, whether phase splits get restated again without acknowledgement, and whether ERCOT and MISO queue filings or state siting dockets appear under a Marathon-affiliated name. Absent those, capacity here remains self-reported.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-21The most durable pattern in this record is not the size of the numbers but the instability of the unit they are expressed in. The 2019 disclosures measure the business in square feet and machine counts (15230, 15220, 15150). By mid-2020 the metric is aggregate hashrate, with 240 PH/s repeated across three filings in under two months (14906, 14887, 14871) before being revised upward to 294 PH/s within a week (14858). By late 2020 the frame shifts again to megawatts at Hardin (14789, 14790), then in 2021 to raw fleet counts of 73,000 miners (14591, 14346), then in early 2022 to a percentage growth figure (16621) that has no denominator a reader can independently check. Each change of unit arrives roughly when the prior unit would have invited a comparison to what was actually delivered.
Dates have slipped persistently and, more importantly, have been re-dated without reconciliation. The SelectGreen purchase is the clearest case: promised by September 2019 (15071), marked withdrawn (15062), reasserted as a fresh purchase in July 2020 (14883), and finally booked as completed a year past its original deadline (14851) with no acknowledgement of the intervening history. The August 2020 delivery cohort (14873, 14854) and the Compute North hosting commitments converging on mid-2022 (14592, 14590, 14591, 14523, 14346) follow the same shape. A services agreement signed in April 2021 carries an October 2020 effective date (14734), which is a retroactive paper fix rather than a delivery.
Hardin is the exception and deserves credit for it: an exclusive PPA at a stated price, a land lease, and an O&M agreement (14791, 14801, 14802, 14639) constitute real contractual scaffolding that leaves traces in state and utility records. Nothing comparable exists for the eleven other sites on the roster, which carry no capacity, no cost, and no date at all. There is, in other words, nothing yet to test against permits or interconnection filings.
Over the next ninety days, watch whether any of those capacity-less sites acquires a first dated commitment, whether the Compute North joint venture hosting figures (14347, 14348) are restated rather than repeated, and whether the mid-2022 delivery cohort is reconciled explicitly or simply disappears. Note also that the supplied record terminates in March 2022 (14340); anything after that is outside what can be assessed here.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-20The most telling pattern in this record is not expansion or contraction but migration of the measuring unit. Capacity is first stated in square feet (15230), then in miner counts (15220, 14842), then in petahash (14906, 14871, 14858), then in megawatts (14789, 14637). Each shift resets the baseline and makes year-over-year comparison a matter of trust rather than arithmetic. The 1,800 percent figure at 16621 is the clearest artifact of that: a percentage against a base small enough that the number carries no information about delivered load.
Where a stable unit does persist, the revisions are quiet. Hardin's headline total holds at 100 MW from October 2020 through March 2022 (14789, 14636, 14303), but the phase split is re-cut underneath it — Phase I goes from 30 MW (14790) to 70 MW (14645, 14637) with no acknowledgement, and Phase II absorbs the remainder (14646, 14638). The total looks stable precisely because the internals moved. Similarly, the SelectGreen purchase is announced, withdrawn (15062), and re-announced across roughly fourteen months (15150, 15141, 15136, 15101, 15071, 14883, 14851) against a delivery date of 2019-09-30 that was still being described in the past tense in August 2020. Dates that have a specific anchor slip on schedule: mid-August 2020 twice (14873, 14854), and the Compute North hosting commitment moves from 2022-03-31 (14590, 14591, 14592) to 2022-06-30 (14346, 14523) while the vehicle actually formed covers 30,000 miners at 82 percent (14347, 14348), not 73,000.
Independent corroboration is strongest exactly where the economics are most specific — the Beowulf PPA at $0.028/kWh and $0.006/kWh O&M (14647, 14639, 14650) sit against a real generating asset with a real interconnection. It is weakest across the fourteen sites listed, every one of which carries status announced with capacity and cost fields empty. Nothing in this record substantiates Abu Dhabi, Long Ridge, Matagorda, Granbury, Plano, Kearney or the Dakota sites; the claim series itself terminates in March 2022.
Over the next ninety days, the checks worth running are ERCOT and MISO queue positions for the Texas and North Dakota locations, county-level permit and electrical inspection filings, and the next quarterly disclosure of energized versus contracted megawatts. Watch also for sites quietly leaving the announced list without a withdrawal notice — that has happened before here, and only once was it labeled.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-20Marathon's stated capacity has grown, but not in a straight line, and not always in the direction the headline numbers imply. The 2019 posture was a single leased Quebec footprint of roughly 26,700 square feet with leases running to November 2022 (15230, 15229, 15219) and equipment measured in single-digit thousands of units (15150, 15141, 15136, 15101). Through 2020 the company restated the same 240 PH/s target three separate times without change (14906, 14887, 14871) before nudging it to 294 PH/s on incremental purchases (14858), then jumped an order of magnitude with 10,500 and 10,000 unit orders (14842, 14762). The more telling movement is at Hardin, where total capacity has never moved off 100 MW (14789, 14636, 14303) while the phase split was quietly re-cut: Phase I was 30 MW in October 2020 (14790) and 70 MW by May 2021 (14645, 14637), with the 30 MW figure reassigned to Phase II (14646, 14638). That is a re-labeling, not an expansion, and it was not flagged as a revision.
Dates have slipped as a matter of routine rather than exception. Miner deliveries promised for mid-August 2020 slid (14873, 14854, 14872), the SelectGreen purchase carried a September 2019 date still being reported as outstanding a year later (14851), and the Compute North hosting program promised for the first half of 2022 (14590, 14591, 14592, 14523) remained a forward commitment into December 2021, by which point the contracted vehicle covered 30,000 miners (14348) while the 73,000 figure continued to be quoted (14346, 14287). A two-thirds gap between the contracted and the advertised number is the single most important discrepancy in this record.
On independent corroboration, the record is thin rather than contradictory: fourteen sites — Long Ridge, Matagorda, Granbury, McCamey, Garden City, Ellendale, Jamestown, Kearney, Coshocton, Plano, Abu Dhabi and others — all sit at announced status with no capacity or cost attached, and no permit, interconnection queue, or site-visit evidence is tied to any of them here. Treat announced pace as unverified.
Over the next 90 days, watch whether any of those fourteen converts to a status carrying a megawatt figure, whether Texas and Ohio sites surface in ERCOT or PJM interconnection filings, whether the 73,000 number is retired or reconciled, and whether hosting concentration is disclosed as a risk rather than a capacity claim.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-20The through-line here is a company that repeatedly changed the unit in which it measured itself, and each change reset the baseline before the prior one could be judged. The 2019 record is small and concrete: a leased Quebec footprint measured in square feet with a lease horizon (15230, 15229, 15219) and a deployment counted in individual machines (15220). By mid-2020 the metric had become aggregate hashrate, with a 240 PH/s target restated three times in five weeks (14906, 14887, 14871) and then revised to 294 PH/s (14858) without the earlier number being retired. By October 2020 the unit changed again to megawatts at Hardin, initially 30 MW in Phase I against a 100 MW total (14790, 14789). Seven months later the same 100 MW total was re-cut as 70 MW in Phase I and 30 MW in Phase II (14645, 14646, 14637, 14638). The headline held; the phasing was silently inverted, which matters because Phase I is the part that gets built.
Dates have slipped in a recognizable pattern. The SelectGreen 6,000-unit purchase carried a September 2019 completion (15071), was withdrawn in November 2019 (15062), reappeared as a live purchase in July 2020 (14883), and was still being described in the past tense in August 2020 against the original 2019 date (14851). The mid-August 2020 delivery windows (14872, 14873, 14854) and the Compute North hosting commitment (14590, 14591, 14592) followed the same shape, with the 73,000-miner figure retained (14346) even as the contracted tranche was narrowed to 30,000 in the joint venture (14348, 14347).
On corroboration, the record is thin in a specific way: every claim traces to a counterparty agreement or a company statement. There are no permits, interconnection queue entries, or independent site reporting in this dataset, and all fourteen listed projects, including Abu Dhabi, Long Ridge, Matagorda, Ellendale and Plano, sit at announced status with capacity and cost blank. The claim series itself also goes quiet after March 2022 (14344, 14318), so nothing here supports conclusions about the current portfolio.
Over the next ninety days, the tells are whether any announced site acquires a megawatt figure and a queue position rather than a press date, whether the Hardin phase split is reconciled, and whether the lapsed Quebec lease horizon is addressed rather than left to expire quietly.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-20The shape of this record is one of steady unit inflation paired with steady date erosion, and the two rarely appear in the same disclosure. The earliest phase measures itself in square feet and machine counts (15230, 15220) because there was no megawatt story to tell yet; the shift to MW framing arrives only with Hardin in late 2020 (14790, 14789). That transition matters, because capacity units changed faster than capacity did.
The clearest tell is repetition. A single 6,000-unit SelectGreen order is announced or re-announced across at least five filings (15150, 15141, 15136, 15101, 15071), is marked withdrawn once (15062), and then resurfaces as accomplished (14883, 14851) still measured against a 2019-09-30 date it missed by roughly ten months. Nothing in the sequence acknowledges the gap; the order simply reappears as news. The same mechanism recurs with Compute North, where 73,000 hosted miners slides from a Q1 2022 date (14590, 14591, 14592) to mid-2022 (14346) with the headline number untouched and only 30,000 actually vehicled (14347, 14348). Slippage is absorbed by re-dating rather than by resizing.
Hardin deserves separate attention. Total capacity is constant at 100 MW (14789, 14636), but the phase split is quietly re-cut from a 30 MW Phase I to a 70 MW Phase I between October 2020 and May 2021 (14790 versus 14645, 14646). A total that holds while the phase boundary moves usually means the boundary was redrawn around work already done.
Independent corroboration is thin, and structurally so. Hardin sits behind the meter on a Beowulf PPA (14647, 14639), which bypasses the interconnection queue and removes the external checkpoint an analyst would normally use. Verification has to come from county building permits, state air and siting filings, and plant-level generation data. Meanwhile nine of the fourteen listed sites carry no capacity or cost at all, so announcement volume is running well ahead of specification.
Note that this record terminates in March 2022 (14318, truncated), so the read stops there. Over the next ninety days the things to watch are whether any announced-only site acquires a disclosed MW figure and an energization date, whether hosted-miner counts are restated again without reference to prior targets, and whether energized MW is ever reported alongside contracted MW.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-20The arc here is less a story of growth than of a shifting yardstick. In mid-2019 Marathon described itself in square feet and machine counts: a 26,700 square foot leased site in Quebec (15230) and 1,400 units deployed (15220). By mid-2020 the unit of account had become hashrate, with 240 PH/s repeated across three announcements (14906, 14887, 14871) and then restated as 294 PH/s eight days later (14858). By late 2020 the unit changed again to megawatts at Hardin, and by 2021 to hosted fleet size, culminating in 73,000 miners placed with Compute North (14591, 14346). Each reframing resets the baseline, and the effect is that no two consecutive announcements are directly comparable.
The most instructive revision is Hardin Phase I, announced at 30 MW in October 2020 (14790) and restated at 70 MW by May 2021 (14645, 14637) with the 30 MW figure migrating to Phase II (14646, 14638). The total stayed at 100 MW (14789, 14636); only the internal sequencing moved, without acknowledgement. The Compute North timeline shows the same pattern: a March 2022 implementation date (14590, 14592, 14591) reappears as June 2022 in the December 2021 joint venture disclosure (14346), a quarter absorbed into a new announcement rather than flagged as slippage.
Equipment dates have held poorly and consistently so. Machines promised by September 2019 (15071) were still being characterized as newly purchased in August 2020 (14851); mid-August 2020 deliveries slipped (14873, 14854, 14872); the 10,000-unit order for March 2021 slipped (14762); the 30,000-unit schedule for June 2022 slipped (14523). One purchase was withdrawn outright (15062), and the earliest transaction on file unwound with a three million share break fee (15461, 15477).
Independent corroboration is thin because the record is almost entirely self-reported. Hardin is the exception, anchored by a power purchase agreement and land lease (14647, 14802), and the 2022 disclosures of power station upgrades and maintenance owed by year end (14339, 14285) suggest capacity was announced ahead of what the host plant could carry. Eleven of the fourteen listed sites still carry no capacity or cost figure at all.
For the next ninety days, the series as supplied terminates in March 2022 and needs refreshing before any forward read is reliable. When it is, watch whether the announced-only Texas and North Dakota sites acquire a stated megawatt number and a matching interconnection queue position, and whether reported capacity distinguishes energized from contracted.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-19The visible record for Marathon is heavily front-loaded: nearly every facility-capacity and timeline claim dates from 2019 through early 2022, and the list cuts off mid-claim in March 2022 (claim 14344). Ten of the fourteen projects on file, including Ellendale, Kearney, Granbury, Garden City, McCamey, Abu Dhabi and Long Ridge, have no attached capacity, cost or timeline claims at all, so any read of those sites has to wait for the record to be filled in.
Within the visible window, announced scale grew quickly and was then restated. The company went from a 26,700 square-foot Quebec lease (15230) and a 240 PH/s fleet target repeated three times (14906, 14887, 14871) to a 294 PH/s target within weeks (14858). Hardin was framed as 30 MW Phase I of a 100 MW site (14790, 14789), then reframed as 70 MW Phase I plus 30 MW Phase II (14645, 14637, 14646). The total held, but the phase split more than doubled without an explanatory claim. Hosting ambitions followed the same pattern: 73,000 miners with Compute North (14591), then a joint vehicle scoped at 30,000 (14348) while the 73,000 figure was carried forward (14346).
Dates have been the weaker element. Nearly every dated promise is flagged delayed. Miner deliveries set for mid-August 2020 slipped (14873, 14854), as did the 10,000-unit S-19 Pro order due by March 2021 (14762). The Compute North hosting deadline moved from 2022-03-31 to 2022-06-30 (14592, 14346), and the 30,000-unit delivery schedule missed its mid-2022 target (14523). Hardin power-station upgrades and maintenance (14339, 14285) pushed dates into late 2022. The SelectGreen purchase was withdrawn (15062) and then reappears as completed at the same dollar figure (14851), a sequence that deserves a reconciling source.
The record contains no independent corroboration: no permits, interconnection-queue entries or site reporting. The announced pace therefore rests entirely on company statements, and the delay flags suggest discounting those statements.
Over the next 90 days, the priority is to backfill 2022-2026 claims for the Texas, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio and Abu Dhabi sites so that current capacity can be compared against earlier framing. Watch the Q3 2026 results for energized-MW and hashrate figures stated by site, and check any ERCOT, SPP or PJM queue filings tied to Granbury, Garden City, McCamey, Kearney or Coshocton. Any new AI or HPC capacity claim for existing sites should be tested against the delivery record shown above.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-18The record supplied here covers claims only through March 2022, ending mid-entry at claim 14344. Fourteen sites are listed, but none has a capacity or cost field populated. That includes the later-named locations: Ellendale, Granbury, Garden City, McCamey, Kearney, Coshocton and Abu Dhabi. So this read covers the early mining-fleet era and Hardin. It does not cover the current portfolio.
Capacity figures mostly scaled up, with one notable reshuffle. The fleet hashrate target sat at 240 PH/s across three statements (14906, 14887, 14871), then rose to 294 PH/s (14858) as S-19 Pro orders expanded. At Hardin, the 100 MW total held steady (14789, 14636). The phasing did not. Phase I was 30 MW in October 2020 (14790) and became 70 MW by May 2021 (14645, 14637), with a new 30 MW Phase II (14638). The later filings do not explain the change. The Compute North arrangement is harder to reconcile. The letter of intent spoke of hosting 73,000 miners (14591), while the joint vehicle covered 30,000 (14348), and the record does not say where the other 43,000 were to go.
Dates have slipped repeatedly, and at least twice without acknowledgement. The 73,000-miner hosting deadline moved from March 2022 (14592) to June 2022 (14346) without explanation. The 700 MicroBT units were first tied to June 2020 (14852) and then to mid-August 2020 (14872). Both dates carry a delayed tag. The 660 S-19 Pro delivery for mid-August 2020 slipped (14873, 14854), as did the 30,000-unit ASIC schedule (14523) and the Hardin power station upgrades due by end-2022 (14339, 14285). The Hardin services agreement was due in October 2020 (14734) but appears to have been executed in April 2021. The SelectGreen purchase was also marked withdrawn (15062) and later described as completed (14851, 14883).
The record contains no independent corroboration of any kind: no permits, no interconnection queue entries and no site reporting. The entire trajectory rests on company statements alone.
Over the next 90 days, the priority is to backfill this ledger. Watch for filings that attach capacity and energization dates to the named Texas, North Dakota, Nebraska and Ohio sites. Check those against ERCOT, MISO, SPP and PJM queue records, and watch whether the Hardin and hosted-capacity figures are quietly restated in current disclosures.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-18The capacity record here is mostly a record of hashrate and machine counts, not megawatts, and it stops in March 2022. Treat it as an account of Marathon's hosted-miner era, not of the site portfolio listed above it. Within that window, the announced scale rose quickly. Deployment targets went from a 1,400-unit Quebec fleet (15220) and 6,000 S-9 purchases (15150, 15136) to a 240 PH/s target (14906, 14887), then 294 PH/s (14858), then 10,000 to 10,500 S-19 Pro orders (14762, 14842), and finally a 73,000-miner hosting commitment with Compute North (14591, 14346). Hardin is the one site with stated megawatts. It began as a 30 MW Phase I inside a 100 MW envelope (14790, 14789) and was restated seven months later as 70 MW Phase I plus 30 MW Phase II (14645, 14646, 14637, 14638). The total held at 100 MW while the phasing was pulled forward, and the record does not explain the change.
Dates have held poorly and have mostly moved without acknowledgement. Every dated delivery claim is tagged delayed. That includes the mid-August 2020 S-19 and M31S+ shipments (14873, 14872, 14854), the March 2021 S-19 order (14762), the 30,000-unit ASIC schedule to mid-2022 (14523), and the Compute North hosting deadline. That deadline was first set for March 2022 (14592, 14332) and then quietly restated as June 2022 (14346). The Hardin services agreement carries a promise date that had already passed when it was filed (14734). The SelectGreen purchase was withdrawn (15062) and then reappeared as a completed acquisition (14851, 14883). That sequence deserves a documentary check.
The claim set contains no independent corroboration for any site: no air or building permits, no interconnection queue positions, no utility filings, and no on-the-ground reporting. The pace in these claims is therefore self-reported. The record's own trajectory depends heavily on third parties, with Beowulf supplying Hardin's power and Compute North supplying hosting. That dependence is the main risk the data exposes.
Over the next 90 days, the priority is closing the gap between March 2022 and today. Granbury, Garden City, McCamey, Ellendale, Jamestown, Kearney, Coshocton, Long Ridge, Matagorda and Abu Dhabi all sit at announced status with no capacity or cost on record. Each one needs dated megawatt claims, ERCOT, SPP, MISO or PJM queue entries, and county permit records before its pace can be judged. Hardin needs a documented end state, and the Compute North commitment needs a documented outcome.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-18The first thing to note about Marathon's record is its shape. Fourteen projects are on file, all still marked announced, none with a stated capacity or cost. The claim history ends in March 2022 (14333). Only Hardin, Granby and Quebec are tied to any claims. Granbury, Kearney, Garden City, McCamey, Ellendale, Jamestown, Coshocton, Plano, Long Ridge, Matagorda and Abu Dhabi have no facility-level claims in this extract, so no trajectory can be read for them yet.
Where there is data, headline capacity mostly grew while its components were reshuffled. The fleet hashrate target of 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871) rose to 294 PH/s within weeks (14858). The size of the order book grew even faster, from 1,660 S-19 Pros (14853) to 10,500 (14842). Hardin's total stayed at 100 MW (14789, 14636), but Phase I went from 30 MW (14790) to 70 MW (14645, 14637), and Phase II took the remaining 30 MW (14638). That is a pull-forward of phasing, not new capacity.
Dates have held poorly, and several were revised without saying so. The Compute North hosting commitment for 73,000 miners was first tied to 2022-03-31 (14591, 14592). It was later restated with 2022-06-30 (14346), yet 14332 in March 2022 still cites the March date. The 30,000-unit ASIC delivery schedule (14523), the mid-August 2020 S-19 Pro delivery (14873, 14854), the Hardin services agreement (14734) and Hardin power-station maintenance (14285) are all flagged delayed. The SelectGreen purchase is marked withdrawn in 14062 but reappears as completed in 14851, a contradiction the company's own filings should resolve.
The record contains no independent corroboration: no permits, interconnection queue positions or site reporting for any project. Outside the claim set, Compute North's Chapter 11 filing in September 2022 is the obvious test of the 73,000-miner commitment. It should be sourced and attached before any conclusion about how that capacity was re-homed.
Over the next 90 days, the priority is closing the gap between 2022 and today. The Q3 2026 10-Q, due in early November, should give site-level megawatts and energization dates for the owned Texas, Nebraska, North Dakota and Ohio sites. ERCOT and MISO/SPP queue entries can check whether announced Texas and Plains capacity has firm interconnection. Any disclosure on the Abu Dhabi arrangement would need to separate owned capacity from joint-venture capacity.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-18Marathon's record here is a story of escalating unit counts rather than growing facility footprint, and the ledger stops in March 2022 while the project list names fourteen sites. The last ten of those sites, from Granbury and the West Texas locations through Ellendale, Kearney, Abu Dhabi and Coshocton, carry no capacity, cost or dated claim at all. The analysable trajectory is therefore Hardin, Quebec/Granby and the Compute North hosting relationship.
On scale, the hashrate target moved from 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871) to 294 PH/s (14858) within weeks. Orders compounded from 660 and 500 S19s (14869, 14870) to 1,660 (14853), then 10,500 (14842), a 30,000-unit delivery schedule (14523) and 73,000 hosted miners (14591, 14346). Hardin's total held at 100 MW (14789, 14636), but the phase split was redrawn from a 30 MW first phase (14790) to 70 MW (14637, 14645) with no stated explanation. That rebalancing pulls most of the capacity forward and deserves scrutiny.
On dates, nearly every dated commitment is flagged delayed. The mid-August 2020 S19 and M31S+ deliveries (14873, 14854, 14872) slipped, and so did the 10,000-unit order due by March 2021 (14762). The Compute North ramp is the clearest unacknowledged revision. It was promised by 2022-03-31 (14591, 14592), restated to 2022-06-30 (14346), yet the March 2022 filing still cites the March deadline (14332) weeks before it lapsed. The SelectGreen purchase shows a similar inconsistency. It was marked withdrawn (15062), then described as completed in later filings (14883, 14851), and nothing reconciles the two.
Independent corroboration is absent from this record. Hardin runs on Beowulf's own generation under an exclusive PPA (14647), so the relevant check is plant availability, and the delayed maintenance item (14285) is the only operational signal. The hosted capacity depends entirely on a partner's build-out, and no permits, queue positions or site reporting are attached.
Over the next 90 days, the priority is whether filings attach megawatt figures and energisation dates to the ten unclaimed sites. Those figures can then be checked against the relevant interconnection queues: ERCOT for the Texas sites, SPP and MISO for North Dakota and Nebraska, and PJM for Ohio. Also watch whether Marathon ever reconciles the 73,000-miner and 100 MW Hardin commitments against capacity that was actually energised.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-15The record on file is a narrow window, and it does not match the project list. Every facility and timeline claim runs from 2018 to early 2022, and the list cuts off at claim 14284. None of the eleven sites now carried as announced has a capacity, cost, or date claim attached. Long Ridge, Granbury, Matagorda County, Abu Dhabi and the others are all blank. So what follows reads the early trajectory, not the current portfolio. Readers should treat conclusions about the named sites as unsupported by this dataset.
Within that window, announced capacity mostly grew, and the targets moved quickly. The fleet hashrate target of 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871) became 294 PH/s within weeks (14858). The Hardin, Montana build held its 100 MW headline (14789, 14636), but the phases were re-cut without stated explanation. Phase I was 30 MW in October 2020 (14790) and 70 MW by May 2021 (14637, 14645), with a 30 MW Phase II added (14638, 14646). Hosting ambitions followed the same path: a 73,000-miner Compute North arrangement (14591), later partly formalized as a 30,000-miner joint vehicle (14348, 14347).
Dates held less well than headline numbers. The mid-August 2020 S-19 Pro delivery (14873, 14854) is flagged delayed. So is the 700-unit MicroBT order (14872, 14852). Every major Bitmain contract restated in March 2022 carries a missed promise date, spanning March 2021 through June 2022 (14341, 14340, 14342, 14343, 14301, 14344). The Compute North hosting completion moved from 2022-03-31 (14591, 14592) to 2022-06-30 (14346). Neither revision came with an acknowledgement in the claim text. The pattern is consistent: order sizes and target totals are announced firmly, while delivery and energization dates drift one to two quarters.
The record contains no independent corroboration. There are no permits, no interconnection queue positions, and no site reporting for Hardin, the Compute North sites, or any currently listed project. The pace of announcements therefore cannot be checked against physical progress here.
The next 90 days should close that gap. First, check whether the upcoming quarterly filing states energized megawatts or hashrate by site for the eleven announced locations. Second, look for interconnection or large-load filings: ERCOT for the Texas sites, PJM or Ohio regulatory dockets for Long Ridge and Coshocton, and the relevant regional operators for the North Dakota and Nebraska sites. Third, watch whether the Abu Dhabi entry acquires any disclosed capacity or partner terms. Until site-level numbers enter the record, the listed projects remain names rather than measurable commitments.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-15The first thing to say about this record is what it does not contain. All eleven projects now on file for Marathon, from Long Ridge in Ohio to Matagorda County, Granbury, Abu Dhabi and the North Dakota and Nebraska sites, carry no stated capacity, cost or dated milestone. The claims ledger as supplied also ends in March 2022, partway through claim 14284. Any judgment on the current portfolio therefore rests on the company's earlier behavior, not on commitments tied to these sites.
That earlier behavior shows headline capacity that expanded mostly by reshuffling. At Hardin, the 100 MW envelope held from claim 14789 through 14636. Phase I, however, was first described as 30 MW (14790) and later restated as 70 MW, with Phase II at 30 MW (14645, 14637, 14638). The total stayed the same while the near-term portion more than doubled. The fleet hashrate target moved from 240 PH/s (14906, 14887, 14871) to 294 PH/s within weeks (14858). The Compute North hosting program was framed as 73,000 miners (14591) and later split into a 30,000-miner joint-venture tranche (14348) alongside the same 73,000 figure (14346). The record does not show a reconciliation of the two numbers.
Dated promises have held poorly. Nearly every timeline in the file is marked delayed. That includes the mid-August 2020 S-19 Pro delivery (14873, 14854), the 10,000-unit order due by March 2021 (14762), and each Bitmain contract tranche from March 2021 through June 2022 (14341, 14340, 14342, 14343, 14344), along with the 30,000-unit schedule (14523). The Compute North deadline moved from March 2022 (14592) to June 2022 (14346). The file contains no claim acknowledging that change. The 6,000 S-9 purchase promised for September 2019 (15071) was still being described in August 2020 (14851). Much of the slippage sits with suppliers and hosts, not Marathon's own construction, but the pattern of reliance on third parties is the point.
No independent corroboration appears in the record. There are no permits, interconnection queue positions or site reporting, so the announced pace cannot be tested against physical progress.
Over the next 90 days, the useful signals are whether any megawatt or energization dates are attached to the eleven named sites. For the Texas locations, check for matching ERCOT large-load or queue filings, and for Long Ridge and Coshocton, PJM or local permitting activity. Also watch whether Abu Dhabi figures are disclosed with a named counterparty. Given the history, new dates should be discounted until a filing independent of the company supports them.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-14The record as supplied stops partway through March 2022 (it breaks off at claim 14332), so this read covers Marathon's mining-era buildout rather than the eleven sites now listed as announced. That gap is the first finding. None of those projects, from Granbury and McCamey to Ellendale, Coshocton and Abu Dhabi, has a capacity, cost or dated claim attached. Hardin and Quebec, the two sites with real claim history, do not appear on the project list at all.
Capacity scaled quickly and was restated along the way. The Quebec footprint of 26,700 square feet and 1,400 units (15230, 15220) became 6,000 S-9s (15150), then a 240 PH/s target repeated three times in 2020 (14906, 14887, 14871). Within weeks that target became 294 PH/s (14858), and a 10,500-unit S-19 Pro order followed (14842). Hardin launched as 100 MW with a 30 MW Phase I (14789, 14790). By May 2021 the phases had inverted to 70 MW then 30 MW (14645, 14646, 14637, 14638), with no stated reason. A 240 PH/s total hashrate figure reappears in March 2022 (14286), which is implausible against the order book and most likely a unit error that should be checked against the filing.
Dates show quiet revision rather than acknowledged slippage. Compute North hosting for 73,000 miners moved from 2022-03-31 (14591, 14592) to 2022-06-30 (14346) without explanation. The MicroBT M31S+ lot carries both 2020-06-30 and 2020-08-15 dates (14852, 14872). An August 2020 Bitmain contract is scheduled to deliver after an October 2020 one (14340, 14341). A services agreement is effective months before it was announced (14734). The Hardin power-station upgrade deadline of 2022-12-31 (14339) has no later claim confirming completion.
The record contains no independent corroboration: no permits, interconnection queue positions or site reporting. Its heaviest hosting dependency, the Compute North joint venture (14347, 14348), ended when Compute North filed for Chapter 11 in September 2022, which is outside the record.
Over the next 90 days, the priority is closing the 2022-2026 gap in the claim history. The Q3 2026 10-Q should be checked for megawatt, energization or cost figures on any of the eleven announced sites. The Texas sites should be checked against ERCOT large-load interconnection filings, and Ohio and North Dakota against local permitting records. Until dated capacity claims exist for these projects, their announced status is an assertion without a measurable trajectory.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-14The record supplied here ends partway through Marathon's March 2022 10-K (claim 14304 is cut off). None of the eleven projects on file carry a capacity, cost, or date. So this read covers the 2019 to early 2022 fleet-and-hosting era, and cannot yet assess the current Texas, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio and Abu Dhabi portfolio. That gap is the most important finding. Also, the Granby partnership in claims 15068 and 14859 appears to be a Quebec facility, not the Granbury, Texas site on the project list, and the two should not be linked without confirmation.
On capacity, the headline figures grew mainly through equipment orders, not built megawatts. A 240 PH/s target (14906, 14887, 14871) rose to 294 PH/s within weeks (14858). It then reappears unchanged at 240 PH/s in the 2022 filing (14286), which looks like a stale restatement or an extraction error rather than a real reduction. Hardin held at 100 MW in total (14789, 14636, 14303). However, the phase split changed from 30 MW for Phase I (14790) to 70 MW for Phase I plus 30 MW for Phase II (14645, 14637, 14638), and no filing on record explains the change.
The dates show quiet drift. The 73,000-miner Compute North hosting program was promised by 2022-03-31 (14591, 14590). It appeared as 2022-06-30 in December 2021 (14346), then reverted to 2022-03-31 in the March 2022 filing (14284, 14332) without explaining the discrepancy. Miner delivery windows were extended in stages from 2021-03-31 (14762) to January 2022 (14301) and June 2022 (14302, 14523). None of these extensions is presented as a slip.
There is no independent evidence in the record, such as permits, interconnection queue positions, or site reporting, so the announced pace is unverified. The heavy dependence on a single hosting counterparty (14347, 14333) is a risk worth testing against Compute North's later insolvency.
Over the next 90 days, the priority is to attach verifiable megawatts and energization dates to the eleven listed sites. Useful sources are ERCOT large-load interconnection filings for Granbury, McCamey and Garden City, SPP and MISO queue entries for the North Dakota and Nebraska sites, and Ohio Power Siting Board or county records for Coshocton and Hannibal. Marathon's next 10-Q should be checked for whether it gives site-level energized versus contracted capacity, and whether earlier Hardin and Compute North targets are ever reconciled.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-14The record for Marathon is split in two, and the halves do not connect. The capacity and timeline claims describe the 2020 to 2022 fleet buildout: miner purchase orders, the Hardin, Montana site with Beowulf, and hosting with Compute North. The eleven projects now on record, from Long Ridge and Coshocton in Ohio to the Texas sites, the North Dakota and Nebraska locations, and Abu Dhabi, carry no stated capacity, cost or date. The claims list is also truncated at March 2022. Nothing here allows any of the current sites to be measured against a promise.
Within the historical record, targets moved quickly and not always consistently. The 240 PH/s fleet target (14906, 14887, 14871) became 294 PH/s within weeks (14858). The March 2022 filing still repeats 240 PH/s (14286), which is more likely stale language than a reversal. At Hardin, the 100 MW total held (14789, 14636, 14303), but the phasing did not. Phase I was 30 MW in October 2020 (14790) and 70 MW, with a 30 MW Phase II, by May 2021 (14645, 14637, 14638). None of the later claims acknowledges that change.
The dates are weaker still. The 73,000-miner Compute North hosting program was first due by March 31, 2022 (14591, 14592). A December 2021 claim moved it to June 30, 2022 (14346). Yet the March 2022 filing again cites March 31, 2022 (14284, 14304, 14332), weeks before that deadline, with no reconciliation. Miner deliveries under the December 2020 Bitmain contract ran through January 2022 (14301), well past the March 2021 date attached to 10,000 units (14762). Some claims carry target dates earlier than the claims themselves (14851, 14734), or dollar figures that look mis-scaled (14317, 14315 against 14302, 14288). They should be treated as extraction artifacts, not as commitments.
There is no independent evidence in the record for any site: no permits, no interconnection queue entries and no local reporting. The announced pace, historical or current, is therefore supported only by Marathon's own filings.
Over the next 90 days, the key test is whether the next quarterly filing puts megawatt figures or energization dates on any of the eleven announced sites. Queue entries would give the first outside check: ERCOT for the Texas sites, PJM for the Ohio sites, and the relevant operators for North Dakota and Nebraska. Any disclosure for Abu Dhabi, which has no detail at all on record, is also worth watching.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-14Marathon's facility record is less a single project trajectory than a sequence of hosting arrangements that were announced, re-scoped, and abandoned. The first anchor was the Compute North deal. It began as 73,000 hosted miners due by March 2022 (14591, 14592), and the deadline moved to June 2022 in a December 2021 restatement (14346). Yet the March 2022 annual filing still repeated the original March 2022 date (14304, 14284, 14332). The slip was therefore disclosed in one place and not reconciled in another. Only 30,000 of those miners were tied to the 82 percent joint-venture vehicle (14347, 14348), so the headline figure overstated what sat in a structure Marathon controlled. Hardin, Montana followed a similar arc. It was described as a 100 MW design (14303) and then as 110 MW (14094). Within a month came a plan to terminate the site agreements by August 2022 (14095) and redeploy the miners elsewhere by September 2022 (14096), so the stated capacity grew right up until the site was dropped.
The March 2023 filing moves to a distributed hosted footprint, and nearly every dated commitment in it carries a delayed flag. Ellendale's 57,000-unit energization (12982, 13095), Jamestown's 10,400 air-cooled units for Q1 and 768 immersion units for Q2 (13051, 13052), Kearney's 1,300 units (13073), and the Coshocton exit (13053) all fall into that group. Abu Dhabi is internally inconsistent within a single filing. One set of claims gives July 2023 for operations (13065, 12978) and another gives December 2023 (13058, 13076). The capital commitment appears as both 81.2 million (12977) and 406 million (13056), and the 250 MW figure (13077) has no dated milestone attached.
No permits, interconnection queue entries, or site reporting sit in this record to corroborate any of it. The eleven listed projects carry no capacity or cost fields. Long Ridge, Matagorda County, and Granbury have no claims at all. The claim history also stops in March 2023, roughly three and a half years ago. Any read of current pace therefore rests on company statements alone and is stale.
Over the next 90 days, the third-quarter 10-Q is the first thing to watch. It should show whether Abu Dhabi, Ellendale, and Jamestown are energized at their stated scale, or whether the counts have quietly changed. Hosting contracts at Plano, Ellendale, Garden City, McCamey, and Jamestown expire between June and December 2027 (13102, 13096, 13093, 13090, 13100), so renewal or exit language should start appearing. Filings should also finally put capacity, cost, and interconnection substance behind Granbury, Matagorda, and Long Ridge.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-14Marathon's record is best read as a company that repeatedly outsourced its capacity and then had to take it back. The early promises were counted in machines rather than megawatts. The company claimed 73,000 S19 miners hosted with Compute North by March 2022 (14284, 14304, 14332), with the same figure elsewhere pinned to June 2022 (14346). Hardin, Montana grew from a 100 MW design (14303) to 110 MW (14094) within weeks, and in the same filing cycle the company set a date to terminate the Hardin agreements (14095) and move those miners elsewhere by September 2022 (14096). That made the upgrade dates for December 2022 (14285, 14339) moot. By March 2023 the vocabulary had shifted to named sites and megawatts, headlined by a 250 MW Abu Dhabi joint venture (12952, 12973, 13064). The record does not show the step down from 73,000 hosted units, but it is implied by the pivot, and Compute North's publicly reported 2022 bankruptcy would explain it.
On timing, slippage is the norm and is increasingly acknowledged. Ellendale energization (12960, 12982), Jamestown's 10,400 air-cooled and 768 immersion units (12961, 12962, 13051, 13052), Kearney's 1,300-unit expansion (13073), and the Coshocton exit (13053) all carry delayed status. Abu Dhabi is the least coherent case. Its start of operations is dated July 2023 in some claims (12978, 13065) and December 2023 in another (13058), all from the same filing. The capital figures do reconcile: an $81.2 million commitment (12977) is 20 percent (13063) of $406 million (13056). The miner purchase contracts carrying 2021 and early-2022 delivery dates (14340, 14341, 14342, 14301) have no delivery confirmations on record.
The claim set contains no independent corroboration. There are no permits, no interconnection queue entries in ERCOT, SPP, MISO or PJM, and no site reporting. Every capacity figure is self-reported, and several are duplicated or carry unit errors (14311, 14315, 14317). All eleven projects on record show no stated capacity or cost. Long Ridge, Matagorda County, Granbury and Plano have no claims in the visible record. The excerpt ends in March 2023, so the more recent pivot toward owned sites and AI-adjacent power is not assessable here.
Over the next 90 days, the Q3 2026 10-Q should show whether Abu Dhabi, Ellendale and Jamestown are reported in megawatts actually energized rather than units deployed. Watch for ERCOT large-load filings tied to Matagorda County and Granbury, and PJM or Ohio siting records for Long Ridge. The key test is whether any of the eleven announced projects gains a disclosed capacity figure that outside records can confirm.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-14Marathon's facility record is less a trajectory than a single snapshot repeated many times. Apart from the April 2022 Hardin disclosures, nearly every capacity and timeline claim traces to one filing dated 2023-03-15. No capacity figure has been revised upward or downward since then because nothing later has been recorded. The Abu Dhabi figure sits at 250 MW across every restatement (12952, 13064, 13077, 13086). The US hosted-site targets are equally fixed: 57,000 units at Ellendale (13094), 10,400 air-cooled and 768 immersion units at Jamestown (12968, 12969), 4,000 at McCamey (12965), 19 MW at Garden City (12966), 1,300 at Kearney (12963), and a 200,000-unit fleet goal (12956). The mix of MW and unit counts makes an aggregate power figure impossible to derive from the record. Every project on file still carries announced status with no capacity or cost populated.
The dates are where the record is weakest. Within the same filing, Ellendale energization appears as both 2023-03-31 (12982, 13070, 13095) and 2023-06-30 (12959, 13050, 13080). Abu Dhabi operations appear as both 2023-07-01 (12978, 13065) and 2023-12-31 (13058, 13076). Coshocton's exit is given as 2023-06-01 (13101) and 2023-06-30 (13053). The Abu Dhabi JV formation date of 2023-01-27 (13063) had already passed when it was disclosed. The capital figures also conflict: 81.2 million (12977, 13074) against 406,000 thousand (13056), which is more likely total JV scale or an extraction unit error than a real revision. Nearly all dated 2023 milestones are flagged delayed, and none has a recorded completion or acknowledged re-baseline. Hardin is similar: a 110 MW site (14094) was slated for agreement termination by 2022-08-15 (14095) and redeployment by 2022-09-30 (14096), and neither has a closing claim.
The record contains no independent corroboration for any site: no permits, interconnection queue positions, or local reporting. The pace therefore rests entirely on company statements. Long Ridge, Matagorda County and Granbury carry no visible claims, and the supplied history cuts off at 12691.
Over the next 90 days, the Jamestown immersion contract expiry of 2026-08-01 (13099) has already passed, so the Q3 10-Q due in early November should show whether it was renewed or exited. The 2027 hosting expirations then cluster: Plano (13102), Ellendale (13096), Garden City (13093), McCamey (13090) and Jamestown air-cooled (13100). Early renewal or migration disclosures would be the first real evidence of how the hosted footprint is evolving. Watch too for any filing that finally closes out Hardin and Abu Dhabi.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-14The first thing to say about Marathon's facility record is that it is not a trajectory. Every capacity and timeline claim on file dates to a single disclosure on 2023-03-15, so there is no observable scaling or shrinkage over time. What looks like a large body of evidence is mostly the same statements extracted repeatedly. The Ellendale 57,000-unit figure alone appears in 13080, 12959, 13070, 13094, 12967 and 13050. The fleet-wide 200,000-unit energization target (12956) has no later restatement to compare against. Three listed projects, Long Ridge, Matagorda County and Granbury, have no capacity or timeline claims at all. They should be treated as names on a list rather than commitments.
Within that one filing, the dates are internally layered rather than contradictory in most cases. Ellendale carries a Q1 2023 energization start (12960, 13095, 12982) and a Q2 2023 completion (13080, 12959, 13050). Abu Dhabi pairs a 2023-07-01 commencement (13065, 12978) with a year-end 2023 operational date (13058, 13076). The Abu Dhabi dollar figures reconcile: the $81.2 million commitment (13074, 12977) is 20 percent of the $406 million venture (13056, 13063). The one genuine inconsistency is Coshocton, where the exit date is given as 2023-06-30 in 13053 and 2023-06-01 in 13101. Every dated milestone is now tagged delayed. That tag reflects the absence of any follow-up claim confirming delivery. It is not affirmative evidence that the milestones slipped, and Marathon has not issued an acknowledged revision on record.
No independent evidence is attached to any of these sites: no permits, interconnection queue positions or on-the-ground reporting. The announced pace, 250 MW in Abu Dhabi (12952) and tens of thousands of rigs deployed within one or two quarters, is therefore unverified in either direction.
Over the next 90 days, the most concrete item is Jamestown. Its immersion hosting contract was due to expire on 2026-08-01 (13099), and the next quarterly filing, expected in early November, should show whether it was renewed, extended or wound down. The same filing is the natural place to look for renewal language ahead of the mid-2027 hosting expirations at Plano (13102), Ellendale (13096), Garden City (13093) and McCamey (13090). It should also show whether the Abu Dhabi venture ever reached its stated 250 MW, and whether Long Ridge, Matagorda or Granbury acquire any dated capacity commitments. Ingesting Marathon's post-2023 filings is the precondition for any real trajectory read.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-14The first thing to say about Marathon's record is that it is not really a trajectory. Nearly every facility claim on file traces to a single disclosure dated 2023-03-15, extracted many times over. The Abu Dhabi 250 MW figure alone appears in at least six entries (12952, 12973, 13064, 13077, 13086, 13058), and Ellendale's 57,000 units, Jamestown's 10,400 air-cooled and 768 immersion units, McCamey's 4,000 rigs and Garden City's 19 MW each repeat similarly. Capacity has therefore neither scaled nor shrunk on the record. It has been stated once and never revisited. The 200,000-unit full-fleet energization target (12956) is the only aggregate figure, and nothing later tests it. Long Ridge, Matagorda County and Granbury are listed as announced projects, but the visible claims attach no capacity, cost or date to them. The claim set also appears truncated after the April 2023 Auradine entries, so later disclosures may simply not have been captured.
The delayed labels need careful reading. Most attach to near-term 2023 targets with no follow-up on file: Ellendale energization by Q1 2023 (12960, 12982), Jamestown air-cooled deployment by Q1 2023 (13051, 13097), Abu Dhabi operations by mid- or end-2023 (12978, 13076) and the Coshocton exit by mid-2023 (13053, 13101). That pattern reflects missing confirmation, not documented slippage, and nothing shows a date quietly moved. Some labels are extraction artifacts. The JV formation date of 2023-01-27 (13063) and the Auradine investment dated 2022-09-23 (12686) both precede the filing and describe completed events, not promises. Internal inconsistencies matter more: Ellendale carries both Q1 (13070) and Q2 (12959, 13080) targets for the same 57,000 units, and the Coshocton exit is dated both June 1 (13101) and June 30 (13053).
No permits, interconnection queue entries or site reporting are on record, so the announced pace cannot be independently corroborated for any site. That gap is the central finding.
Over the next 90 days, Marathon's Q3 2026 10-Q, expected in early November, is the natural checkpoint for the three uncharacterized sites. ERCOT queue filings for Matagorda County and Granbury and PJM activity tied to Long Ridge would be the first independent tests. The Jamestown immersion hosting contract was due to expire in August 2026 (13099), so its renewal or exit status should be confirmed now. The mid-2027 expirations at Plano, Garden City, Ellendale and McCamey (13102, 13093, 13096, 13090) make any renewal disclosures in that filing worth tracking.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-14Marathon's record here is less a trajectory than a single snapshot. Every facility, capacity and timeline claim was captured on 2023-03-15, apart from the Auradine investment disclosures of 2023-04-27 (12686, 12691). Nothing on file shows capacity scaling or shrinking over time. What the record does show is a hosted-fleet buildout: Ellendale at 57,000 units (12959), Jamestown at 10,400 air-cooled plus 768 immersion units (12961, 12962), McCamey at 4,000 (12965), Kearney at 1,300 (12963) and Garden City at 19 MW (12966). These roll up toward a 200,000-unit fleet energization target (12956), with a 250 MW Abu Dhabi joint venture layered on top (12952). The Abu Dhabi capital figures reconcile rather than conflict. A 20 percent stake (12955, 13063) in a roughly $406 million venture (13056) matches the $81.2 million commitment (12977); 13074 appears to drop the thousands multiplier.
The dates are internally inconsistent within the same filing, and that matters more than any slip. Ellendale energization is pinned to 2023-03-31 in 13095, 12960 and 12982, but to 2023-06-30 in 12959, 13050 and 13080. Abu Dhabi commencement appears as 2023-07-01 in 13065 and 12978, and as year-end 2023 in 13076 and 13058. Some of this is probably extraction noise across overlapping passages. Still, it means no single committed date can be scored as held or missed without a follow-up disclosure, and none is on record. Every project, including the Coshocton exit promised by mid-2023 (13101, 13053), still sits at status announced, three years on.
No independent evidence is attached. There are no permits, no interconnection queue entries and no site reporting, so the pace described in 2023 is unverified here. Granbury, Matagorda County and Long Ridge carry no claims at all. That gap likely reflects later owned-site strategy the pipeline has not yet ingested, and it should not be read as inactivity.
Over the next 90 days, the priority is the Jamestown immersion hosting contract, which was due to expire 2026-08-01 (13099) and has now passed. A renewal, migration or quiet lapse would be the first test of the hosted model's durability. The other hosting terms cluster between mid-2027 and end-2027 (13102, 13093, 13096, 13090, 13100), so the next quarterly filing should signal renewal intent. Watch too for whether current disclosures restate Abu Dhabi's capacity and ownership, and whether status updates for Granbury, Matagorda and Long Ridge arrive with verifiable interconnection or permitting detail.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-13Marathon's facility record is lopsided. Nearly all specific capacity and date commitments come from one filing on 2023-03-15, and the three projects now on the books, Long Ridge in Ohio, Matagorda County and Granbury in Texas, carry no disclosed capacity or cost. Capacity was never framed as a single figure. It grew through a stack of hosted-site unit counts toward a 200,000-unit fleet target (12956), and the Abu Dhabi joint venture was pegged at 250 MW (12952, 13086). The later record moves from counting hosted rigs to buying the sites themselves: the GC Data Center purchase (6401, 6379), the Hansford County wind farm (5116, 9274), and a 53.2 EH/s energized hash rate (5022, truncated in this record). That is a real shift toward owning infrastructure, but the dataset holds no updated per-site figures to show whether the 2023 targets were met or quietly dropped.
The dates are internally inconsistent even within that single filing, which weakens any test of whether they held. Ellendale energization appears as 2023-03-31 in some extractions (12960, 13070, 13095) and as a deployment completion of 2023-06-30 in others (12959, 13050). Abu Dhabi operations were due by 2023-07-01 (12978, 13065) and also by 2023-12-31 (13058, 13076). The JV capital figure ranges from 81.2 million (12977, 13074) to 406 million (13056). The larger number is more likely total project cost or a unit error than a revision, but it deserves a check against the source text. The GC Data Center price rose from 178.65 million (6401) to 183.8 million (6206) with no stated reason, plausibly ordinary closing adjustments. No later claim acknowledges a slip on any 2023 date, and none confirms delivery either. That silence is the main finding.
The record contains no independent evidence at all: no permits, no ERCOT or PJM queue entries, no local reporting. The pace of deployment cannot be corroborated from what is here, and the three named projects are effectively placeholders.
Over the next 90 days, the Q3 2026 10-Q, due around early November, is the main test. It should show whether Long Ridge, Matagorda and Granbury carry megawatt or cost figures. Useful external checks are ERCOT large-load interconnection filings for Matagorda, Ohio Power Siting Board or PUCO dockets for Long Ridge, and Hood County permitting and noise disputes at Granbury. Any restatement of energized hash rate against the 53.2 EH/s baseline also matters. Separately, the duplicated and conflicting 2023-03-15 extractions should be reconciled before these claims are scored.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-13Marathon's stated footprint has grown steadily, though mostly by acquiring and contracting power rather than by commissioning new capacity. The energy portfolio went from 1.7 GW in April 2025 (5021) to nearly 2 GW in February 2026 (11788), then to a 1.9 GW global data center footprint, 70 percent owned (3490, 3491). Hashrate rose from 53.2 EH/s (5022) to 66.4 EH/s (3508). The site-level figures are harder to square with that headline. Granbury at 300 MW (3499), Central Texas at 250 MW (3532), East Ohio at 225 MW (3533), Central Ohio at 150 MW (3535), North Texas wind at 180 MW (3534) and the Nebraska acquisition at 42 MW (3514) add up to roughly 1.15 GW. That leaves about 750 MW not broken out in this record. The Hansford County wind farm also appears three ways: 114 MW nameplate (3505), 240 MW interconnection (3504) and 180 MW (3534).
The forward AI/HPC story rests almost entirely on the Starwood arrangement. Its size is quoted as 1 GW near-term (11781), a 2.5 GW pathway (11782, 926) and a 1 to 2.5 GW range (3512). Marathon's economic interest is described as both 50 percent (3494, 3528) and 10 percent (3662), a gap that needs a filing-level answer. The only timeline is a 24-month development decision window (3664), which is not a delivery date. MPLX is framed as an integrated campus partnership (11789) but documented only as a letter of intent (3513, 3524).
Dates have not slipped because almost none were given. The dated items are financial: the hedge running to December 2027 (6208) and the third Exaion tranche due March 2027 to reach 75 percent (4521, 4522). One transaction value was revised without comment, the GC Data Center purchase moving from $178.65M (6401) to $183.8M (6206), most likely closing adjustments. The Long Ridge acquisition at $1.5B (9088) is the largest commitment, but the claim record for it is truncated (9413). All three tracked projects, including Matagorda County with no supporting claims, still carry no capacity or cost figures.
This record contains no independent evidence, such as permits, ERCOT or PJM queue entries, or local reporting, so the announced pace is unverified. Over the next 90 days, watch the Q3 2026 results for a site-level reconciliation of the 1.9 GW figure. Also watch for the first property Starwood designates for development and a definitive JV ownership percentage, any conversion of the MPLX letter into a binding agreement, and the Long Ridge closing status. Interconnection queue filings for Hannibal and Matagorda County would be the clearest early signal of real build activity.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-13Marathon's stated capacity has grown steadily, but the unit being measured has changed along the way. The April 2025 figure was a 1.7 GW energy portfolio (claim 5021). By February 2026 it was nearly 2 GW of secured power (11788), and a week later a 1.9 GW global data center footprint (3490, 3507, 3520). These are not the same metric, so the apparent growth partly reflects relabeling rather than new megawatts. Hashrate grew from 53.2 to 66.4 EH/s (5022, 3508), which is a cleaner operational signal. The regional figures (Granbury 300 MW in 3499, Central Texas 250 MW in 3532, North Texas wind 180 MW in 3534, East Ohio 225 MW in 3533, Central Ohio 150 MW in 3535, Nebraska 42 MW in 3506) add up to roughly 1.15 GW. That leaves much of the 1.9 GW headline unallocated in the record. The wind asset is also described three ways: 180 MW, 114 MW nameplate and 240 MW interconnection (3505, 3504). The Starwood figures deserve the most caution. A 1 GW near-term target and a 2.5 GW pathway (11781, 11782) sit beside conflicting ownership terms, 10 percent in one disclosure (3662) and 50 percent in several others (3494, 3528). A 24-month development decision window (3664) also means none of that capacity is firmly committed before early 2028.
Dated promises are scarce, which is itself the main finding on timelines. Apart from the Exaion third tranche set for March 30, 2027 (4521) and a hedge running through 2027 (6208), almost nothing carries a delivery date. Long Ridge readiness (9411) has none. Deals have mostly closed, though prices drifted: GC Data Center moved from $178.65M to $183.8M (6401, 6206), and Exaion closed about six months after signing (2945). The 2023 Abu Dhabi venture (12646) is never mentioned again. The MPLX arrangement remains a letter of intent (3513).
Every claim in the record is company-stated. Nothing here confirms the announced pace through permits, grid interconnection queues or site reporting. Long Ridge is still listed as announced with no capacity or cost, despite the $1.5B acquisition (9088) and a 505 MW nameplate increase (9413). Matagorda County has no supporting claims at all. The supplied record also appears truncated after claim 9411.
Over the next 90 days, watch whether third-quarter results give Long Ridge a service date and filings that back the 505 MW authorization. Also watch for the Starwood ownership split to be reconciled, the first Starwood site to be designated, and the MPLX letter of intent to become a definitive agreement. Finally, check whether Granbury or Matagorda show up in ERCOT interconnection or county permitting records.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-13Marathon Digital's infrastructure trajectory from late 2023 through mid-2026 reveals capacity ambition outpacing credible delivery evidence. The GC Data Center Equity Holdings acquisition, initially stated at $178.65 million in December (6402, 6401), was restated at $183.8 million in May (6206) without explanation for the $5.15 million delta or acknowledgment of the missed January 2024 closure target (6379). This restatement pattern—claims revised without transparent reasoning—recurs throughout the portfolio and signals either planning flux or disclosure opacity.
Capacity announcements escalated significantly in early 2026. Energy portfolio grew from 1.7 GW in April 2025 (5021) to 1.9 GW by March 2026 (3490), and mining hashrate increased from 53.2 EH/s to 66.4 EH/s (3522). Yet the headline shift came with the February 2026 Starwood partnership: rather than organic development, Marathon structured joint ventures for 1.0 GW near-term (11781) and 2.5 GW pathway capacity (11782), retaining 50 percent ownership (3494). Simultaneously, Granbury emerged as a flagship 300 MW facility (3499), anchoring a distributed platform with East Ohio (225 MW), North Texas wind (180 MW), and Central Ohio (150 MW) (3533, 3534, 3535). These figures convey portfolio maturity; grid interconnection filings or construction permits do not appear in the record.
The April 2026 Long Ridge acquisition represents the starkest inflection. A $1.5 billion commitment for a 485 MW gas plant (9088, 1869) suggested transformational capital deployment. Within four weeks, a $75 million termination fee surfaced (1872), implying deal deterioration or restructuring wholly absent from the claims narrative. This gap signals material execution risk.
All capacity and timeline claims remain marked 'stated' without third-party validation, grid queue entries, or permitting evidence. Over the next 90 days, track Long Ridge resolution, Starwood's promised IT capacity delivery with geographic and timeline specificity, and whether Granbury construction initiates. Capacity 'pathways' lack credibility without interconnection agreements or binding development schedules.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-12Marathon Digital's announced capacity has expanded substantially across its portfolio since late 2024. The company moved from stating 1.7 GW of energy portfolio capacity in April 2025 to claiming 2.2 GW of operational and development capacity by April 2026, a 29 percent increase in baseline holdings. This growth trajectory accelerated further with the February 2026 Starwood Capital partnership, which layered in an additional 1.0 to 2.5 GW of AI and HPC infrastructure through a 50-50 joint venture structure, though Marathon retains only a 10 percent interest in the pre-development phase (claim 3662). The company has also granularized capacity claims significantly: Granbury, Texas shows 300 MW (claim 3509), Long Ridge in Hannibal, Ohio claims a 600 MW expansion path atop 200 MW current operations (claim 9407, 9401), and Nebraska adds 42 MW. Hashrate metrics similarly climbed from 53.2 EH/s in April 2025 to 66.4 EH/s by March 2026 (claims 5022, 3522).
On timing, most recent announcements lack explicit service-readiness dates. The Long Ridge acquisition, valued at $1.5 billion in April 2026 (claim 9088), announced an expected closing without specifying when (claim 9412). The Starwood partnership, signed in February 2026, imposed a 24-month development-decision timeline (claim 3664), pointing toward February 2028 as a key inflection. Earlier commitments show mixed execution: the Hansford County wind farm acquisition moved from announcement in February 2025 through stated closing by mid-February (claim 5116, 9274), but numerous bitcoin acquisition announcements from late 2024 (claims 5426, 5350, 5346) lack subsequent confirmation. The Exaion majority-stake acquisition, announced in August 2025 and again in February 2026, includes a conditional March 30, 2027 secondary transaction (claim 4521), creating a staged timeline that has no clear public milestone through late summer 2026.
No independent evidence—permits, FERC interconnection queue position, local land records, utility interconnection studies—has been provided to validate the announced pace. Without corroborating documentation from Texas Railroad Commission, Public Utility Commission of Texas, or regional grid operators, the gap between claimed capacity and actual grid-integrated delivery remains opaque.
Over the next 90 days, watch for: (1) Long Ridge acquisition closing and any revised timeline or capacity restatement; (2) public filings detailing Granbury's power and cooling infrastructure buildout; (3) Starwood-MARA joint-venture project announcements or preliminary engineering reports; (4) any restatement of the March 2027 Exaion option exercise.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-12Marathon Digital's announced capacity trajectory shows significant growth punctuated by consolidating announcements that warrant scrutiny. The company's energy portfolio expanded from 1.7 GW (claim 5021, April 2025) to 1.9 GW (claim 3490, March 2026), then jumped to 2.2 GW operational and development capacity following the Long Ridge acquisition announcement (claim 9406, April 2026). This represents roughly 29% nominal growth over twelve months, though the composition shifted markedly toward infrastructure partnerships rather than owned assets. The owned-and-operated percentage dropped to 65-70% (claims 3491, 9405), meaning Marathon increasingly relies on third-party execution.
Promised timelines show early cracks. The Long Ridge nameplate capacity expansion of 505 MW carried a July 1, 2026 deadline (claim 1870) but is flagged as delayed, suggesting the company missed its initial integration window by at least two months. The Starwood Digital Ventures partnership (claims 3493, 3511, announced February 2026) targets 1.0 to 2.5 GW of AI/HPC capacity with a 24-month development window (claim 3664), placing critical milestones in early 2028—a timeline dependent on EDF Pulse Ventures' (claim 9271) continued cooperation and capital deployment.
The March and April 2026 announcement clusters reveal a shift toward portfolio expansion through acquisition and partnership rather than organic build. Exaion's closing structure (claims 4520, 4521, 4522) involves three tranches concluding in March 2027, the Hansford County wind farm (claims 3504, 3523) brought 114 MW nameplate but 240 MW of interconnection, and the Nebraska data center added only 42 MW (claims 3506, 3514). None of these claims reference permit status, queue positions, or equipment procurement milestones, limiting visibility into actual execution risk.
The immediate watch list centers on Long Ridge remediation efforts and Starwood's pre-development spending rate. The Long Ridge facility represents the largest single asset acquisition at $1.5 billion (claim 9088) and its delay suggests either operational complexity or integration challenges that could propagate to other assets. Exaion's March 2027 closing and the Starwood capex cycle will determine whether 2026's announced capacity translates to operational megawatts or remains subscribed but undeployed.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-11Marathon Digital's announced capacity trajectory shows significant growth but masks complexity in asset composition and execution timing. The company progressed from 1.7 GW stated energy capacity in April 2025 (5021) to 1.9 GW globally by March 2026 (3490), then layered the Long Ridge acquisition in April 2026, bringing stated operational and development capacity to 2.2 GW (9406). Bitcoin hashrate increased more dramatically over the same period, from 53.2 EH/s (5022) to 66.4 EH/s (3508), suggesting hardware efficiency gains outpaced power additions. The portfolio now includes owned assets (Hannibal 200 MW per 9407, Granbury 300 MW per 3499), Exaion's European footprint (controlling stake acquired February 2026 per 2945), and a 50-50 Starwood Digital Ventures joint venture (3528) with an ambitious 1-2.5 GW target (3512) but only 1.0 GW near-term capacity commitments, suggesting pre-final investment decision status. Long Ridge's integration reveals a red flag: the 505 MW CCGT nameplate capacity expansion was promised by July 1, 2026 (1870), but is marked delayed as of the April 2026 filing. With today's date at September 11, 2026, this expansion is now overdue by more than two months. Regional breakdowns in the March 2026 filings—Granbury 300 MW, Central Texas non-Granbury 250 MW, East Ohio 225 MW, Central Ohio 150 MW, North Texas wind 180 MW (3531-3535)—total approximately 1.1 GW in stated capacity but lack cross-reference to Texas Public Utility Commission interconnection filings or Ohio transmission queue data. The Hansford County wind acquisition claimed 240 MW interconnection capacity but only 114 MW nameplate (3504-3505), a distinction that matters for actual dispatch. The Starwood partnership announced 24 months for development decision (3664); at six months elapsed since announcement, no ground-breaking announcements have emerged. In the next ninety days, watch for Long Ridge expansion closure or revised timeline, Granbury facility operational metrics (MW served versus MW available), Exaion European regulatory approvals for any announced expansions, and Starwood pathway clarity toward the 1.0 GW or higher capacity threshold. Capacity growth claims have been substantial but increasingly depend on non-controlled assets or partnerships at earlier stages than press releases imply.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-11Marathon Digital's capacity profile has undergone rapid expansion and strategic reorientation since early 2025. Through April 2026, announced total capacity grew from 1.7 GW (claim 5021, April 2025) to 1.9 GW (claims 3490, 3507, 3520, March 2026) and subsequently to 2.2 GW when including planned development capacity (claim 9406, April 2026). However, this growth reflects acquisitions—Exaion majority stake (claims 3492, 3500, 3526, March 2026), Hansford County wind at 114 MW nameplate with 240 MW interconnection (claims 3504–3505, March 2026), and the 485 MW Long Ridge CCGT plant (claim 1869, April 2026)—rather than organic buildout. The company retained only 70 percent owned-and-operated portfolio (claims 3491, 3521, March 2026), with the Starwood joint venture representing 50 percent partnership equity targeting 1.0–2.5 GW AI/HPC capacity over 24 months from February 2026 (claims 926, 3664, February–March 2026).
Timeline adherence shows a mixed record. The GC Data Center acquisition closure was promised for January 2024 (claim 6379) but the May 2024 acquisition claim (6206) references completion retrospectively. The Long Ridge Energy acquisition, announced in April 2026 with a $1.5 billion price tag (claims 9088, 1868), listed no explicit closing date, though claim 9412 references an "expected closing" without specificity. Starwood's 24-month development mandate from February 2026 implies initial deployment by February 2028, but no intermediate milestones have been announced.
Independent verification remains limited. The Hansford wind farm shows granular detail—240 MW interconnection versus 114 MW nameplate (claims 3504–3505)—suggesting actual grid queue placement, though no permits or transmission studies are cited. Long Ridge's proposed 600 MW expansion beyond the current 485 MW nameplate (claim 9401) shows no environmental review data. The Nebraska acquisition (42 MW, claim 3506) and Granbury facility (300 MW, claims 3509, 3531) cite no third-party validation. Energized metrics rely entirely on company disclosure.
Over the next 90 days, watch for Long Ridge acquisition closing confirmation and initial gas plant operational status, Starwood joint venture's first AI facility deployment and location announcement, Exaion integration milestones including any capacity revisions, and any grid interconnection or permitting updates on the Long Ridge 600 MW expansion. The portfolio's growth trajectory depends heavily on partnership and acquisition assets energizing; without permitting or grid queue evidence, announced capacity targets remain unvalidated.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-10Marathon Digital's capacity narrative has undergone substantial revision across a rapidly expanding footprint. The company initially emphasized energy portfolio aggregation, announcing 1.7 GW in portfolio capacity by April 2025 (claim 5021), then layered on global data center operations at 1.9 GW by March 2026 (claim 3520). The April 2026 Long Ridge acquisition announcement introduced a new metric entirely—2200 MW of operational and development capacity (claim 9406)—which conflates existing infrastructure with speculative expansion potential. The Long Ridge facility itself exemplifies this ambiguity: the company cites a 1000 MW total potential (claim 9400) against a 485 MW existing CCGT nameplate (claim 1869) and 505 MW authorized capacity expansion (claim 9413), muddying what portion is energized versus planned.
Timeline discipline has been inconsistent. The Hansford County wind acquisition was announced in February 2025 with an immediate closing promised for February 2026 (claims 5116, 9274); no evidence of realized generation or grid connection has been disclosed. The Exaion transaction, split across primary (August 2025), secondary, and conditional tertiary tranches (March 2027, claim 4521), has experienced compression—the controlling stake was declared achieved by February 2026 (claim 2945) rather than trailing the full closing sequence. The Starwood Digital Ventures partnership, announced February 2026 with a 24-month development window (claim 3664), targets 1.0 GW of AI/HPC capacity (claim 3529) without disclosed buildout schedules or power procurement guarantees.
Independent corroboration is sparse. Long Ridge's AI/IT construction timeline and service readiness dates (claims 9410, 9411) remain unspecified in the submitted claims. No interconnection queue positions, PUC filings, or third-party engineering studies are referenced to substantiate the compression from potential to operational capacity. The shift from hash-rate metrics (53.2 EH/s in April 2025, claim 5022, to 66.4 EH/s by March 2026, claim 3522) suggests operational gains, but facility-by-facility validation is absent.
Over the next 90 days, monitor Long Ridge's formal AI/IT buildout commencement and any disclosure of power purchase agreements or MPLX LP execution (claims 9410, 3513). Watch for Hansford wind farm grid interconnection notices and Starwood development commitment timelines. Clarification on owned-versus-managed capacity mix (65 percent claimed as owned, claim 9405) and reconciliation of the 2200 MW figure against actual energized megawatts will signal whether capacity growth tracks announced projections.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-10Marathon Digital's announced capacity trajectory shows material expansion but unclear execution timing. In April 2025, the company stated an energy portfolio capacity of 1.7 GW and energized hash rate of 53.2 EH/s (5021, 5022). By March 2026, total global data center capacity had grown to 1.9 GW with hash rate reaching 66.4 EH/s (3507, 3522), a 12% capacity increase and 25% hash rate gain. The April 2026 Long Ridge acquisition announcement then jumped operational and development capacity to 2.2 GW (9406), representing a 15% increase within a single month—contingent on a deal whose termination fee was cited just days later (1872), signaling early execution risk.
Capacity announcements lack clarity on ownership stakes. The February 2026 Starwood Capital partnership promised 2.5 GW in joint AI/HPC capacity (926), but Marathon retained only 10% initial ownership (3662) and 50% post-closing stake in the joint ventures (3528). The same announcement placed Granbury at 300 MW capacity (3509), yet Granbury appeared in the projects list as "announced" with no prior capacity claim, suggesting either retroactive capacity assignment or timeline compression. Exaion's August 2025 acquisition and February 2026 controlling stake (2945) added capacity but no specific MW figures were disclosed for its contribution.
Promised dates have been sparse. The sole construction-phase timeline came February 2026: a 24-month development decision window (3664), placing major decisions at February 2028. Long Ridge buildout commencement and initial capacity service readiness were announced April 2026 (9410, 9411) but without target dates. The Long Ridge acquisition itself listed "expected closing" (9412) without specificity, while the termination fee mention (1872) within days of the announcement raises questions about deal conviction.
Independent verification is limited by available data. Hansford County wind farm interconnection capacity was stated at 240 MW (3504, 3516) versus 114 MW nameplate (3505, 3523), a 2.1x spread typical of future expansion rights rather than current operational capacity. Without access to ERCOT or SPP interconnection queues, FERC filings, or construction permits for Granbury and Long Ridge, the pace claim cannot be independently validated.
In the next 90 days, watch for Long Ridge acquisition closure confirmation, any Granbury capacity energization announcements, and updates to the 2.2 GW operational target as Starwood and Exaion contributions clarify.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-10Marathon Digital's capacity narrative shows substantial expansion ambitions paired with an emerging timeline slip. The company claimed a 1.9 GW global data center footprint in March 2026 (claims 3490, 3507, 3520), growing from the 1.7 GW energy portfolio capacity stated in February 2025 (claim 5021). The portfolio rebalancing reflects a shift from primarily bitcoin mining toward a mixed AI/HPC and mining platform: the March portfolio includes 70 percent owned-and-operated assets (claim 3491), with hashrate holding at 66.4 EH/s (claim 3522) despite the capacity reorientation.
The April 2026 Long Ridge acquisition for 1.5 billion USD (claim 9088) promised a material step function: a 505 MW nameplate capacity expansion scheduled for July 1, 2026 (claim 1870). That deadline passed sixty-plus days ago, and the claim is flagged as delayed—the company's first explicit delivery miss. Total claimed operational and development capacity reaches 2200 MW (claim 9406) with owned-operated penetration expanding to 65 percent (claim 9405), but without clear deployment timelines the feasibility remains opaque.
The Starwood Capital partnership launched February 26, 2026 (claim 7504) targets 2.5 GW AI/HPC capacity through a 50-50 joint venture with 1.0 GW initial target (claims 3529, 3528) and a 24-month development cycle (claim 3664)—placing material milestones at February 2028. Exaion, acquired for controlling stake in February 2026 (claim 2945), gates a third tranche of investment to March 30, 2027 (claim 4521). Neither partnership carries intermediate date markers against which to measure progress through year-end.
No claims reference specific interconnection queue positions, building permits, or independent site validation. All announcements carry [stated] classification without external corroboration. The Long Ridge expansion delay is the first tangible signal that announced timelines may compress under execution scrutiny.
Watch the next 90 days for: revised Long Ridge deployment guidance, monthly or quarterly Starwood partnership milestones, any restatement of the 2200 MW figure, and whether interconnection or permitting data enters the narrative. The distance between announced capacity and actual permitting pace will clarify execution credibility.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-09Marathon Digital's expansion narrative rests substantially on acquisitions rather than organic capacity build. Through 2025, the company claimed 1.7 GW in energy capacity and 53.2 EH/s mining hashrate (claims 5021, 5022); by April 2026, following the Long Ridge purchase and Exaion majority stake acquisition, it cited 2.2 GW operational and development capacity (claim 9406). The stated hashrate grew to 66.4 EH/s, driven by the Long Ridge 485 MW gas plant and partnership-layer capacity rather than company-owned data centers. Owned-and-operated capacity is positioned at 70 percent of the portfolio (claim 3521), suggesting roughly 1.3-1.4 GW is retained, with the balance in joint ventures or minority positions.
The company's timeline discipline shows strain. A Long Ridge nameplate capacity expansion of 505 MW was promised by July 1, 2026 (claim 1870, flagged delayed)—now past—without public acknowledgment of delay or revised delivery. Most other major commitments lack hard dates: the Starwood partnership, announced in February 2026 targeting 1-2.5 GW AI/HPC capacity (claims 7504, 926), carries no development timeline, only a 24-month decision window (claim 3664). The Exaion third transaction, scheduled for March 30, 2027 (claims 4521, 4522), remains the only major near-term deadline flagged.
Independent verification remains sparse in the record. Granbury consistently claims 300 MW capacity across multiple assertions (claims 3509, 3531, 3499); the Hansford County wind farm lists 240 MW interconnection capacity against 114 MW nameplate (claims 3504, 3505, 3516), a mismatch suggesting reserved but not yet energized transmission. No interconnection queue positions, executed interconnect agreements, or recent permitting for Long Ridge's expansion were cited to validate the July target or current status. The MPLX letter of intent from March (claims 3513, 3524) remains unsigned.
Over the next 90 days, attention should fix on three points: whether Long Ridge expansion is complete and energized or further delayed; whether Starwood's pre-development services have translatable capacity momentum; and what the company reports on the operational status of the 2.2 GW claimed in April. The distinction between operational and development capacity requires clarification—much of the announced base rests on announced, not energized, infrastructure.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-09Marathon Digital has pursued a capacity-expansion strategy heavily dependent on acquisitions and partnership structures rather than organic facility development, with announced capacity growing from 1.7 gigawatts in April 2025 to 2.2 gigawatts by April 2026. This 29 percent expansion over twelve months primarily reflects portfolio consolidations: the Exaion majority stake, the Long Ridge Energy acquisition for 1.5 billion dollars, and earlier wind and data center purchases (claims 5021, 9406, 3514, 3515, 3525, 3500, 9088). The company's three originally announced projects—Long Ridge in Hannibal Ohio, Matagorda County Texas, and Granbury Texas—remain largely capacity-neutral in public claims until folded into later acquisition announcements. Granbury subsequently appears as a 300-megawatt facility within the consolidated corporate footprint, though no independent evidence of permitting, construction progress, or interconnection queue status has been disclosed (claims 3499, 3509, 3531). A material timeline slip has emerged: the Long Ridge nameplate expansion of 505 megawatts carried a promised delivery of July 1, 2026. As of September 9, 2026, this target has slipped by at least 70 days without revised guidance (claim 1870, marked delayed). This represents Marathon's first concrete capacity deadline to miss in the available record. The Starwood Digital Ventures partnership, announced February 26, 2026, promised a 2.5-gigawatt AI infrastructure platform (claims 926, 7504). However, Marathon retains only 10 percent ownership initially, suggesting execution risk lies with Starwood; the structure involves 24-month development windows and conditional ownership escalation to 50 percent (claims 3662, 3664, 3501, 3528). A separate letter of intent with MPLX LP, announced March 1, 2026, remains at LOI status with no binding agreement disclosed (claims 3497, 3513). Exaion's acquisition carries forward complex multi-tranche conditions, with a third subscription contingent on closing by March 30, 2027, and post-closing ownership targets of 64 to 75 percent across tranches (claims 4520, 4521, 4522). Over the next 90 days, watch for: revised Long Ridge expansion timelines; MPLX LOI progression to binding agreement; Starwood platform construction commencement; and any restatement of the 2.2-gigawatt baseline, which currently rests almost entirely on announcement rather than third-party verification.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-09Marathon Digital's stated capacity accelerated from 1.7 gigawatts in April 2025 (claim 5021) to 2.2 gigawatts by late April 2026 (claim 9406), a 29 percent expansion funded by Exaion's acquisition (claim 3515), the Starwood Capital partnership targeting 2.5 gigawatts of AI infrastructure (claim 3660) with Marathon owning 50 percent of a 1.0 gigawatt joint venture (claims 3494, 3529), and Long Ridge Energy for $1.5 billion (claim 9088). Hashrate grew from 53.2 to 66.4 exahashes per second (claims 5022, 3508). These acquisitions cluster densely in February through April 2026, suggesting either aggressive opportunistic buying or capacity-guidance inflation timed to capital markets activity.
Timeline discipline has visibly fractured. Long Ridge's 505-megawatt CCGT expansion was promised by July 1, 2026 (claim 1870); as of September 9, it remains delayed, seventy days past deadline. This is material slippage at a cornerstone asset Marathon acquired specifically for near-term operational contribution. Granbury's 300-megawatt facility (claim 3509), central Texas expansions of 250 megawatts (claim 3532), and Hansford wind assets (114 megawatts nameplate, 240 megawatts interconnection, claims 3505, 3516) carry no specified delivery dates, blocking timeline verification from public claims.
The Starwood partnership disclosure contains ambiguity. Announcements assert 2.5 gigawatts of AI infrastructure capacity, yet the joint venture itself targets only 1.0 gigawatt (claim 3529). The remaining 1.5 gigawatts is unspecified—whether representing separate Marathon assets, future Starwood contributions, or aspirational planning cannot be determined from filings. Marathon retained rights at properties (claim 3666), implying shared control structures requiring visible construction or grid operator filings to verify.
Bitcoin acquisition claims (5426, 5350, 5346, 4665) lack transaction dates, settlement conditions, or funding mechanics, indicating these are contingent rather than committed. Exaion's ownership escalation to 75 percent by March 2027 (claim 4522) depends on EDF Pulse Ventures consent (claim 9271).
Over the next ninety days through early December, track Long Ridge's revised completion date and interconnection queue status. Monitor Starwood announcements for JV pipeline detail beyond 1.0 gigawatt. Watch for ground-breaking activity or equipment shipments at Granbury and central Texas sites. Any quarterly capacity guidance revision would signal execution-risk reassessment.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-09Marathon Digital's infrastructure roadmap from early 2025 through mid-2026 reveals a pattern of aggressive capacity stacking through acquisition rather than organic buildout, paired with significant guidance erosion on its partnerships. The company's stated capacity grew from 1.7 GW in April 2025 (claim 5021) to 1.9 GW by March 2026 (claim 3490), then to 2.2 GW by April 2026 (claim 9406). However, this growth masks a critical scaling-back: the Starwood Capital partnership, initially announced at 2.5 GW in capacity contribution (claims 926, 7504), was quietly reduced to 1.0 GW within weeks (claim 3529). That 60 percent revision occurred without explicit acknowledgement between February 26 and March 1, 2026, raising questions about the partnership's realistic scope. Meanwhile, the Long Ridge Energy & Power acquisition—a 1.5 billion dollar transaction announced in late April (claims 9088, 1868)—includes a nameplate expansion of 505 MW promised by July 1, 2026 (claim 1870). As of today, September 9, 2026, this deadline is past and tagged as delayed, suggesting execution friction. Most of Marathon's reported capacity growth stems from acquired assets: Exaion (February through August), Hansford County wind farm (240 MW interconnection; claims 3504, 3516), Nebraska data center (42 MW; claim 3514), and Long Ridge. Few claims reference new construction starts or engineering milestones. The Starwood arrangement includes a 24-month development decision timeline (claim 3664) and carries only a 50 percent joint venture ownership stake (claim 3528), implying Marathon controls just half of any eventual output. The MPLX LP letter of intent (claims 3513, 3524, 3503) remains non-binding as of the March 2026 filing date. Watch for Long Ridge expansion completion status over the next 90 days, actual breakground on Starwood-backed projects, and whether the March 30, 2027 Exaion third-tranche completion proceeds as planned (claims 4521, 4522). Any further capacity reductions or timeline slips would suggest the company is running ahead of realistic deployment velocity.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-08Marathon Digital's capacity trajectory has expanded dramatically but with increasing structural complexity that obscures underlying delivery progress. Through mid-2025, capacity announcements centered on discrete acquisitions: Exaion majority stake (claimed Feb 2026 at claim 2945), a 240 MW wind farm in Hansford County (announced and closing Feb 2025, claims 5116, 9274), and a 42 MW Nebraska data center (claim 3506). By April 2026, total operational and development capacity reached 2200 MW (claim 9406), representing near-doubling from the 1.9 GW stated in March (claims 3490, 3507). However, this growth masks a structural shift. The February 26 Starwood partnership announcement fundamentally reorganized the platform, converting Marathon's stated Exaion majority ownership into a 50 percent joint venture (claim 3528) with a 2.5 GW AI infrastructure target (claims 926, 7504) and a 24-month development timeline (claim 3664). This reallocation happened without explicit acknowledgement of why controlling ownership became a minority stake.
Promised delivery dates show early slippage. The Long Ridge Energy acquisition, announced April 1 at 1.5 billion USD (claim 9088) and confirmed April 29, included a 505 MW CCGT nameplate expansion promised by July 1, 2026 (claim 1870). That deadline is now past by over two months, marked in the record as delayed. The GC Data Center acquisition saw price revision from 178.65 million USD (claim 6401) in December 2023 to 183.8 million USD (claim 6206) by January 2024, without stated rationale. Wind farm acquisition and closing were announced simultaneously in mid-February 2025, suggesting either aggressive deal completion or pre-announcement timing that overstated near-term closure certainty.
Independent confirmation is sparse in the public record. Granbury facility is stated as announced with 300 MW capacity (claims 3499, 3509, 3531), but no permit filings or interconnection queue entries are cited. Hansford wind farm interconnection capacity (240 MW, claim 3504) versus nameplate output (114 MW, claims 3505, 3523) is listed without grid operator confirmation. The Starwood joint venture framework, with 24-month development windows starting February 2026, places major capacity delivery targets at February 2028. Over the next 90 days, track Long Ridge CCGT operational status and any revised commissioning timeline, Granbury site permitting progress, and whether Starwood platform announcements yield concrete grid interconnection filings.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-08Marathon Digital's announced capacity has scaled consistently upward over eighteen months, rising from 1.7 GW in April 2025 to 1.9 GW by March 2026 and 2.2 GW by late April 2026—a 29% increase in stated operational and development capacity. The growth reflects a deliberate portfolio diversification from bitcoin mining (which peaked at 66.4 EH/s in March 2026, claim 3522) toward AI/HPC infrastructure and renewable energy. The company disclosed specific facility allocations in March 2026: Granbury at 300 MW, Central Texas non-Granbury at 250 MW, East Ohio at 225 MW, North Texas wind at 180 MW, and Central Ohio at 150 MW, suggesting a 1.1 GW committed operational base with 1.1 GW in announced but less defined development status. Regarding timeline execution, Marathon faces a significant gap. The Long Ridge Energy & Power acquisition—a $1.5 billion CCGT plant purchase announced April 1, 2026 with 485 MW nameplate capacity—was stated as "expected closing" as of April 29, 2026 (claim 9412) without a firm deadline. Nearly five months later in September 2026, no closing confirmation appears in the claims record, raising questions about deal certainty. The Starwood Capital partnership announced February 26, 2026 includes a 24-month development decision timeline (to February 2028) for a 1.0 to 2.5 GW joint venture, but this is a partnership framework, not committed capacity. The Exaion European data center investment, with closing ownership stake established at 64% by late August 2025, contemplates a March 30, 2027 third transaction to reach 75% ownership—a conditional future milestone. Independent verification remains sparse in the claims data. The Hansford County wind acquisition (240 MW interconnection, 114 MW nameplate, claim 3516) and Nebraska data center (42 MW, claim 3514) are smaller bolt-on assets. Over the next ninety days, monitor whether Long Ridge officially closes and whether Marathon provides engineering updates on the 600 MW expansion pathway (claim 9401). Track Starwood joint venture site selection and environmental permitting, given the twenty-four-month development window. Verify Granbury facility construction status and whether the 300 MW allocation reflects actual power supply agreements. Any delays in Long Ridge closing or revised ownership percentages for Exaion would signal execution risk beneath the headline capacity numbers.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-07Marathon Digital's facility capacity announcements have expanded substantially but with increasingly complex ownership structures. The company reported 1.7 gigawatts of energy portfolio capacity in April 2025 (claim 5021), which grew to 1.9 gigawatts of global data center footprint by March 2026 (claim 3490). The major capacity additions, however, come through the February 2026 Starwood Capital Group partnership, which announced 2.5 gigawatts of combined AI/HPC infrastructure capacity (claims 926, 7504), though Marathon retains only 10–50 percent ownership stakes across various joint ventures (claims 3662, 3494). This represents a shift toward partnership-based growth rather than owned buildout.
Timeline performance shows early slippage. Marathon promised a 505 megawatt nameplate capacity expansion at Long Ridge by July 1, 2026 (claim 1870), but that deadline passed without public revision. The Long Ridge acquisition closed for 1.5 billion dollars in April 2026 (claims 1868, 927), yet promised July capacity additions have not materialized. The company acquired complementary assets including a 240 megawatt interconnected wind farm in Hansford County (claim 3516) and a 42 megawatt Nebraska data center (claim 3514), but integration timelines remain sparse in the record.
Mining hashrate increased from 53.2 exahashes per second in April 2025 to 66.4 by March 2026 (claims 5022, 3508), suggesting operational momentum. However, the Starwood partnership emphasizes AI/HPC compute rather than bitcoin mining, marking a potential strategic pivot. The joint venture includes a 24-month pre-development phase (claim 3664) running through February 2028, placing major capacity additions well into the future.
Watch whether Long Ridge delivers promised capacity in the coming weeks and whether Marathon provides revised timelines. The Starwood joint venture's 50 percent ownership stake (claim 3494) and 24-month development window (claim 3664) will determine whether the announced 1.0–2.5 gigawatt range is achievable. Independent confirmation through FERC interconnection queue updates and on-site construction progress would validate operational timelines.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-07Marathon Digital's announced capacity has scaled considerably over eighteen months, expanding from a 1.7 GW energy portfolio and 53.2 EH/s hash rate in April 2025 to a stated 1.9 GW global data center footprint with 70.7 EH/s by June 2026. The Long Ridge acquisition announced in April 2026 (claims 927, 1868) introduced a more ambitious infrastructure play: a 1000 MW development campus (claim 930) built around a 485 MW gas-fired plant with plans for 505 MW nameplate expansion. However, this expansion has already encountered timing friction. Claim 1870 promised Long Ridge's 505 MW nameplate capacity expansion by July 1, 2026; the claim is now marked as delayed, and with today's date at September 7, 2026, this represents a two-month slip without apparent public revision or rescheduling notice.
The Starwood Capital partnership announced in February 2026 (claim 3660) added a secondary capacity vector: 2.5 GW of AI/HPC infrastructure through a 50-75 percent joint venture structure with a 24-month development decision timeline (claim 3664). This suggests real capacity ambitions of 1-2.5 GW from the partnership alone (claim 3512), contingent on joint venture governance and energy access tied to an MPLX LP letter of intent (claims 3513, 3524). The specific Granbury facility shows 300 MW stated capacity (claims 3499, 3509, 3531), Central Texas additional capacity of 250 MW (claim 3532), and smaller asset acquisitions including a Nebraska data center and Hansford County wind farm (114 MW nameplate, 240 MW interconnection).
Independent verification is limited within the provided record. The Long Ridge delay suggests capacity sequencing is more constrained than announcements imply, particularly for converting nameplate or interconnection rights into energized capacity. The hashrate growth from 53.2 to 70.7 EH/s indicates real mining equipment deployment, though this outpaced the modest capacity increase from 1.7 to 1.9 GW, suggesting higher utilization density or temporary leased capacity arrangements. The Starwood deal's 24-month development window ends February 2028; watch for any extension, reduction in capacity targets, or failure to meet development milestones. More immediately, expect clarity on Long Ridge's revised expansion timeline within 90 days, as a second public slip would signal operational constraints more fundamental than initial messaging suggested.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-06Marathon Digital's headline capacity claims have expanded dramatically but rest increasingly on future partnerships rather than operational assets. Through mid-2025, the company reported a 1.7 GW energy portfolio (claim 5021) with 53.2 EH/s of energized hashrate (claim 5022). By March 2026, announced global data center capacity jumped to 1.9 GW (claims 3520, 3490), though this marked marginal growth despite multiple acquisitions: a 42 MW Nebraska facility (claim 3514), Hansford County wind with 240 MW interconnection (claim 3496), and 66.4 EH/s mining capacity (claim 3522). The material inflection came via the Starwood partnership launched in late February 2026, which committed to 2.5 GW of AI/HPC capacity (claims 926, 7504) split 50-50, meaning Marathon's share reaches only 1.25 GW. That venture carries a 24-month development timeline (claim 3664), placing substantial delivery into 2028.
The Long Ridge acquisition—announced at $1.5 billion in April 2026 (claim 1868)—was positioned to materially shift this trajectory. The facility's 485 MW nameplate capacity (claim 1869) promised expansion to 505 MW by July 1, 2026 (claim 1870), marked as delayed. Today is September 6, 2026. No public update has acknowledged this miss or provided a revised timeline. The 1000 MW "development campus" capacity cited in April (claim 930) lacks specificity on timeline or phase-gate criteria. Parallel claims about Exaion's majority acquisition (claim 3515, March 2026) and a planned third conditional transaction in March 2027 (claims 4521, 4522) suggest integration is incomplete and capital deployment remains staged.
This pattern reflects a portfolio increasingly weighted toward announced deals and future-dated platforms rather than energized infrastructure. The redundancy across March 2026 facility claims (Granbury, Central Texas, East Ohio figures repeated multiple times across claims 3499, 3509, 3531) suggests data consolidation rather than new capacity deployment. Independent indicators remain sparse: no recent interconnection queue updates, FERC filings, or construction permits have been cited for the Starwood platform or Long Ridge expansion phase. Watch for Long Ridge expansion completion documentation within 90 days, groundbreaking for Starwood development sites, and any revised guidance on the 2.5 GW partnership timeline—all have material bearing on whether capacity tracks as announced or faces further slippage.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-06Marathon Digital's infrastructure narrative has expanded materially but unevenly across 2025-2026. The company moved from 1.7 GW energy portfolio capacity and 53.2 EH/s hashrate in April 2025 (claims 5021, 5022) to stated 1.9 GW global data center footprint and 66.4 EH/s by March 2026 (claims 3490, 3522), representing modest organic growth before major acquisitions. The April 2026 Long Ridge Energy acquisition—valued at $1.5 billion—added a 485 MW nameplate gas plant with promised expansion to 505 MW by July 1, 2026 (claims 927, 1869, 1870). That target has now slipped: as of early September, the expansion remains marked delayed, roughly 65 days past promise. This is Marathon's only dated delivery commitment among dozens of announcements, and it has already failed.
The capacity picture depends heavily on paper rather than hardware. The Starwood Capital partnership (February 2026) promises 2.5 GW of AI/HPC infrastructure (claims 926, 7504), but this is structured as a joint venture with Marathon holding 50 percent ownership and Starwood as managing member (claims 3528, 3663), with a 24-month development timeline (claim 3664) that extends into 2028. Similarly, the MPLX LP letter of intent (March 2026) does not constitute binding power access (claims 3513, 3524). Marathon's owned-and-operated capacity represents only 70 percent of the stated 1.9 GW portfolio (claim 3521), meaning roughly 570 MW depends on third-party operators. Granbury, Texas is cited at 300 MW (claims 3499, 3509), but sits on the announced-facility list without status updates or operational proof.
No independent evidence appears in these filings—no permits, FERC interconnection queue standings, or equipment shipment milestones. The Exaion controlling stake acquisition (February 2026, claim 2945) adds European datacenters but has not yet translated into disclosed capacity contributions to Marathon's total count. A third Exaion share purchase is scheduled for March 30, 2027 (claims 4521, 4522), contingent on unspecified conditions.
Over the next 90 days, monitor Long Ridge expansion completion—whether the 20 MW expansion gap closes and by when. Track Starwood and MPLX announcements for binding agreements or LOI terminations. Watch for Q3 2026 earnings disclosures on actual energized capacity and hashrate. Any further delays in Long Ridge without revised timelines would signal execution risk beyond isolated project friction.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-06Marathon announced three projects with escalating capacity profiles. The company reported 1.7 GW of energy portfolio capacity in April 2025 (claim 5021), growing to 1.9 GW by March 2026 (claims 3490, 3507)—a 12% increase over eleven months. The Long Ridge acquisition announced April 29, 2026 (claim 1868, valued at $1.5B) committed 485 MW of immediately available nameplate capacity (claim 1869), with a development campus expansion target of 1000 MW (claim 930). Yet concurrent hashrate disclosures present a sharply different expansion trajectory: 53.2 EH/s in April 2025 (claim 5022) grew to 70.3 EH/s by Q2 2026 (claim 2950)—a 32% increase. This divergence between facility capacity claims and operational hashrate growth suggests either that announced capacity significantly lags deployed infrastructure, or that utilization rates per megawatt are expanding faster than facility additions.
Timeline slippage is evident. The Long Ridge nameplate expansion to 505 MW was promised by July 1, 2026 (claim 1870), now marked delayed; as of September 6, 2026, this represents a two-month slip at minimum. The Starwood Digital Ventures partnership announced February 26 (claim 3660) specifies a 24-month development timeline (claim 3664), deferring development decisions to early 2028 and material capacity contributions beyond the current planning window. The Exaion transaction sequence similarly defers control: majority ownership announced March 2026 (claims 3515, 3526) is superseded by a scheduled March 2027 conditional third-transaction subscription (claim 4521) required to reach 75% ownership (claim 4522)—a one-year lag in actual command authority.
The record contains no independent verification through permits, interconnection queue entries, or on-the-ground reporting. This prevents assessment of whether announced timelines reflect engineering or regulatory reality.
Within 90 days, watch: Long Ridge equipment energization status, Starwood partnership milestone announcements, Granbury facility 300 MW capacity (claim 3509) grid-connection progress, and Exaion's contribution to the stated 66.4 EH/s hashrate target (claim 3508). The March 2027 Exaion third-transaction deadline is the nearest hard external milestone. Long Ridge delays compound the acquisition's credibility implications.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-05Marathon Digital's facility capacity narrative has undergone dramatic revision within six months. In April 2026, the company positioned a 1.9 GW global footprint (claim 3490) anchored by Long Ridge's 505 MW nameplate expansion, promised for July delivery (claim 1870). By August, that framing dissolved entirely. The company announced acquisition of Matagorda County's 2.0 GW site (claim 8500) and recast its power portfolio expansion target at 4.8 GW (claim 8498)—nearly triple the April baseline. Capacity targets escalated from 1.7 GW in April 2025 (claim 5021) to approximately 4.8 GW today, a pattern that suggests strategy reset rather than measured scaling.
The Long Ridge slip is instructive. Claim 1870 flags the July 2026 deadline as delayed; the company has not publicly revised or acknowledged this miss in the claims record, instead overlaying new asset announcements. Claims 3531 and 3499 repeat Granbury's 300 MW capacity verbatim, as do claims 1869 and 929 for Long Ridge, signaling internal revisions presented as fresh statements rather than amendments. This pattern obscures whether prior targets remain viable or have been abandoned.
The Starwood Capital partnership (claim 3660, announced February 2026) explicitly defined a 24-month development decision timeline (claim 3664), placing material milestones for the 2.5 GW joint venture target between February and October 2027. With Starwood positioned as managing member (claim 3663), Marathon's reported owned-and-operated asset ratio of 70 percent (claims 3490–3491) becomes contingent on partnership cadence. A secondary Exaion transaction is scheduled for March 2027 (claims 4521–4522), potentially unlocking further controlling interest progression.
The Matagorda acquisition arrived with no prior disclosure visible in this claims set, suggesting either compressed decision-making or reporting lag. The company has not specified whether Matagorda holds confirmed grid interconnection rights, power purchase agreements, or transmission queue position—items critical to validating the 2.0 GW nameplate rating but absent from available claims.
Watch over the next ninety days for Long Ridge's actual energization sequence against the now-delayed 505 MW commitment; Matagorda's interconnection queue status and regulatory approvals; visible Starwood joint venture site selection or permitting; and clarification of whether the 2.5 GW Starwood target and 4.8 GW company total represent overlapping or distinct capacity buckets, since their relationship remains unexplained.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-05Marathon Digital's announced capacity has remained essentially flat since March 2026. After signaling 1.7 GW of energy portfolio capacity in April 2025 (claim 5021), the company stabilized at 1.9 GW global data center footprint by early March 2026 (claim 3490) and has repeated that 1.9 GW figure through August 2026 (claim 8257). Meanwhile, mining hashrate has grown consistently—from 53.2 EH/s in April 2025 (claim 5022) to 66.4 EH/s by March 2026 (claim 3522) to 70.3 EH/s by June 2026 (claim 2950)—suggesting the company is extracting more throughput from existing capacity rather than building new infrastructure. This pattern implies either slower-than-announced build-out or aggressive retrofitting of existing assets.
Promised timelines show material slippage on Long Ridge. The company announced a 505 MW nameplate capacity expansion at its Long Ridge facility (claim 1870) with a delivery target of July 1, 2026. As of September 5, 2026, this expansion is marked as delayed. The $1.5 billion Long Ridge acquisition itself closed (claims 927, 1868), but the stated expansion timeline has not held. The company promised a development campus capacity of 1000 MW at Long Ridge (claim 930), yet no subsequent updates clarify whether this target remains on track, scaled back, or merely illustrates pre-acquisition aspiration versus post-close reality.
The Starwood Capital partnership announced February 2026 created capacity claims of 2.5 GW (claim 926) versus a joint venture target of only 1.0 GW AI/HPC capacity (claim 3529). This gap suggests either marketing language around potential versus actual committed build-out, or that the 2.5 GW encompasses uncommitted corridor capacity. Independent verification of interconnection queues, FERC filings, or grid operator interconnection agreements for these properties has not surfaced in public records, and on-the-ground reporting from the three named projects—Long Ridge, Granbury, and Matagorda County—remains limited.
Watch for Long Ridge expansion completion status over the next 90 days. Monitor whether Starwood joint venture development decisions advance beyond letters of intent (claim 3513 references MPLX LP LOI). Track hashrate announcements as a leading indicator of utilization pressure, particularly if mining efficiency gains plateau and Marathon begins announcing new capacity midstream. Any updates on Matagorda County and Granbury status will clarify whether these remain active or have shifted to lower priority.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-05Marathon's announced capacity scaled from 1.7 GW in April 2025 (claim 5021) to 1.9 GW by March 2026 (claim 3490)—a 200 MW increase despite substantial acquisition activity through the Exaion deal and Hansford wind farm. Long Ridge, acquired in April 2026 at 485 MW nameplate (claim 1869), represents a parallel capacity vector with stated development potential reaching 1000 MW (claim 930). Stated capacity additions appear modest relative to deal volume, suggesting significant claimed capacity is not yet operational or represents partner assets.
Discrepancies between facility-level and aggregate claims suggest counting ambiguity. March 2026 granular announcements itemized Granbury at 300 MW (claim 3499), East Ohio at 225 MW (claim 3533), central Texas non-Granbury at 250 MW (claim 3532), and smaller sites, totaling approximately 1.2 GW. Against this the 1.9 GW global claim (claim 3490) indicates the gap reflects either partner-owned or future capacity. The Hansford wind farm exemplifies this pattern: 240 MW interconnection queue capacity (claim 3504) against 114 MW actual nameplate (claim 3505), indicating grid congestion typical of PJM and ERCOT regions.
Announced timelines have shifted. Long Ridge's promised 505 MW expansion for July 1, 2026 (claim 1870) is marked delayed as of early September. Earlier GC Data Center closure, stated for January 2024 (claim 6379), has no explicit completion record. Starwood Capital partnership's 24-month development decision period (claim 3664) extends to February 2028, providing no near-term capacity clarity.
Record contains no independent verification—no interconnection application status, permit filings, or third-party site observation. In next 90 days, monitor: Long Ridge 505 MW energization; Matagorda County 2.0 GW announcement (August 2026, claim 1216) permitting and queue position; Starwood JV operational timeline; hashrate sustainability (70.3 EH/s stated Q2 2026, claim 2950) against announced infrastructure constraints.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-05Marathon Digital announced expanding capacity through owned facilities and partnerships. Owned data center footprint grew from 1.7 gigawatts in May 2025 (claim 5021) to 1.9 gigawatts globally by March 2026 (claim 3520), with 70 percent owned-and-operated (claim 3521). Simultaneously, the February-March 2026 Starwood Capital partnership introduced 2.5 gigawatts under partnership structure (claim 7504) with a 1-gigawatt AI/HPC capacity target and 50 percent Marathon ownership (claims 3529, 3494). The April 2026 Long Ridge acquisition committed 1.5 billion dollars with a 1-gigawatt campus expansion target (claims 1868, 930). The August 2026 Matagorda County announcement introduced a 2-gigawatt facility with no prior disclosure, suggesting either delayed announcement or repositioned capacity targets.
Timeline discipline deteriorated visibly. The Long Ridge nameplate expansion to 505 megawatts carried a July 1, 2026 deadline now marked delayed (claim 1870). Five months past that miss, acquisition closure remains undisclosed despite operational references in Q2 2026 (claim 2950). The Starwood partnership announcement fragmented across February 26 and March 1 as distinct "partnership" and "strategic agreement" filings (claims 3660, 3511)—either scope revision or incomplete initial disclosure. Exaion ownership percentages shifted: 64 percent post-closing (August 2025, claim 4520) to 75 percent expected by March 30, 2027 (claim 4522), contingent on a third transaction still seven months distant (claim 4521).
Mining hashrate rose 32 percent over 15 months: 53.2 exahash-per-second (May 2025, claim 5022) to 70.3 EH/s (Q2 2026, claim 2950). Growth accelerated into March 2026 then decelerated in subsequent quarters—a velocity shift worth monitoring against announced capacity ramps.
Independent verification remains sparse. No FERC interconnection queue entries, permits, or construction timelines surface for the Starwood platform or Matagorda County 2-gigawatt facility. Hansford County's 240-megawatt grid interconnection and 114-megawatt wind nameplate (claims 3504, 3505) are testable if ERCOT generation records materialize.
Watch for: (1) Long Ridge facility energization and confirmed closing date; (2) Starwood platform groundbreaking and revised timeline; (3) Matagorda County permit activity; (4) Exaion third-transaction execution by March 30, 2027; (5) public interconnection queue entries, particularly for the 2-gigawatt Matagorda facility.
Delivery vs. promise
2026-09-05Marathon's capacity narrative has expanded substantially but with mixed timeline execution. Hash rate claims grew from 53.2 EH/s in April 2025 (5022) to 70.3 EH/s by June 2026 (2950), a 32% increase in thirteen months, while data center footprint expanded from 1.7 GW to 1.9 GW (5021, 3490). The additions track a deliberate multi-leg acquisition strategy: Exaion for European HPC capability, Hansford County wind for 240 MW interconnection capacity, and Long Ridge Energy for a 485 MW natural-gas asset acquired for $1.5B (1868, 3516, 2947). This mix tilts the portfolio toward owned-and-operated sites at 70% (3491).
However, timing has proven elastic. The GC Data Center acquisition, promised closed in January 2024 (6379), resurfaced in May 2024 with revised terms and a higher price tag of $183.8M (6206), suggesting the earlier commitment slipped without explicit public acknowledgement. Long Ridge's nameplate capacity expansion—promised by July 1, 2026—is now marked delayed (1870). The company's Starwood Digital Ventures partnership, announced February 2026 with ambitious 2.5 GW AI infrastructure rhetoric (926, 7504), scaled the near-term joint venture target down to 1.0 GW (3512), deferring full realization across a 24-month development window (3664).
Starwood's structure compounds this deferral: Marathon holds 50% of joint ventures with a 24-month development decision timeline and reported 64% post-closing ownership in Exaion as of August 2025 (4520), with a third equity transaction conditional on March 30, 2027 (4521). This cascades material capacity accretion into 2027 and beyond. Independent evidence—interconnection queue entries, permitting filings, or on-site construction reporting for Matagorda County's newly announced 2.0 GW facility (1216)—remains sparse in the public record, making the stated timeline difficult to validate.
The 90-day watch list centers on Long Ridge recovery: whether the delayed 505 MW nameplate capacity comes online by September/October 2026 and confirms Marathon's ability to execute major thermal asset transitions. Second, track Starwood progress on jointly-owned properties; if the 24-month timeline holds credibility, meaningful updates should surface by Q4 2026. Third, monitor whether Matagorda County's 2.0 GW claim (announced August 2026 with no delivery date) receives interconnection queue confirmation or permitting milestones. If these don't materialize, the company's growth narrative compresses into 2027.

Frequently asked
2026-10-19A. The record shows several different businesses over time. In February 2013 it renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045). It moved into buying, developing and licensing patents (claim 21043), starting with Sampo IP LLC (claim 21042), and said it was exploring selling its earlier real estate business (claim 21044). By August 2018 it said it was expanding into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). That move is the root of the later Marathon Digital / MARA identity. The claims supplied here stop at October 2018, so this dossier does not describe its operations at the present-day scale.
A. Through 2014 it bought patent portfolios from Mosaid, TeleCommunication Systems, Siemens Technology, Zhone, Intergraph, CyberFone, Delphi and TT IP (claims 21016, 21019, 21031, 21035, 21020, 21017, 21023, 21021). It said it had started earning patent revenue (claim 21014) and was suing to enforce patents (claim 21025). It reported no research and development spending (claim 21027) and named IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (claim 21024). In 2015 it offered a SaaS tool called Opus Analytics (claim 21010). The record has no revenue figures, settlement amounts or court outcomes, so how well the patent strategy worked can't be judged from this dossier.
A. The only named counterparties that look like customers are the patent licensing agreements with Zhone (claim 21022) and Siemens Technology (claim 21018). Both companies were also sellers of the portfolios, so these may be license-back arrangements rather than independent customers. For the crypto mining business, no customers, hosting partners or equipment suppliers are named anywhere in the record.
A. In 2018 Marathon planned to merge with Global Bit Ventures, a crypto miner. The merger was terminated (claims 15477, 15461), with a break-up fee paid in stock: 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). Directors resigned around the same time (claim 15476). The company still said it was expanding into mining (claim 15459) and created a 2018 equity incentive plan reserving 10,000,000 shares (claim 15460). The record contains no mining figures at all: no machine counts, hashrate, megawatts or bitcoin produced. The pivot was announced, but the dossier shows nothing actually delivered.
A. Every claim here has the status 'stated' or 'not_yet_verifiable'. None is marked as verified or fulfilled, and several were moved automatically from 'delayed' back to 'not_yet_verifiable'. Corporate actions like name changes, acquisitions and executive appointments are the most solid items because they are usually confirmed by filings. Forward-looking items have not been checked against outcomes. These include the 10-K deadline (claim 16645), the Nasdaq compliance deadlines (claims 15466, 15467, 15468), the promise to add two new independent directors (claim 15465) and the 12-month cash runway warning (claim 15462).
A. In October 2018 Merrick Okamoto became Executive Chairman and CEO (claims 15384, 15387). His base salary was $350,000 (claim 15388), with stock options of 5,000,000 shares (claim 15389), described elsewhere as 2.5 million issued plus 2.5 million unvested with change-of-control acceleration (claims 15385, 15386). David Lieberman became CFO at $180,000 (claims 15390, 15391). Fred Thiel and Michael Berg joined the board as committee chairs in August 2018 (claims 15437, 15435).
A. First, resolve the open 2018 items. Did the 10-K arrive on time (claim 16645)? Did Nasdaq compliance hold? Claim 15438 says compliance was regained in August 2018, yet claim 15467 lists a deadline of January 2019. Second, fill the gap between 2018 and today with filings that give mining capacity, bitcoin production, holdings and dilution. Third, check whether the 12-month going-concern doubt (claim 15462) was ever formally lifted.
A. (1) Claims 20895–20903 describe Mara Group / Mara Foundation: Ashish Thakkar, operations in 26 countries, UN Women and EY partnerships. That is a separate African conglomerate, almost certainly mis-matched to MARA, and those claims should be excluded. (2) Claim 21046 calls a '2-for-3' ratio a reverse split, which is unusual and should be checked against the original filing. (3) The record stops in October 2018, so nothing about the company's current strategy is captured. (4) No financial results appear anywhere: no revenue, cash or mining output.
Frequently asked
2026-10-19A. The record shows two different businesses. From 2013 to about 2015 it was a patent-licensing company. It renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045), bought patent portfolios from companies such as Siemens, Delphi, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems and Mosaid (claims 21031, 21023, 21020, 21019, 21016), and earned money through licensing and patent litigation (claim 21025). By 2018 it had moved into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The current ticker, MARA, reflects that bitcoin-mining identity.
A. The latest strategy in this dossier is the 2018 move into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). That came alongside a new leadership team: Merrick Okamoto as Executive Chairman and CEO (claim 15387) and David Lieberman as CFO (claim 15390). The record we were given stops in October 2018, so it covers nothing after that. Treat this answer as historical, not as the company's present-day plan.
A. The dossier names no customers for the mining business. The only named commercial counterparties are from the patent era: licensing agreements with Zhone (claim 21022) and Siemens Technology (claim 21018), plus a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim 21024). None of these identifies who buys from or pays the current business.
A. Almost every claim here has status 'stated'. That means the company said it; nobody has independently confirmed it. A few items are concrete events. The Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated, with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claims 15477, 15461). The company says it regained compliance with a NASDAQ listing rule (claim 15438). New directors were appointed: Michael Berg as Audit Committee chair (claim 15435) and Fred Thiel as Compensation Committee chair (claim 15437). No mining output, hashrate or revenue figures appear in this record.
A. Yes, in 2018. The company flagged uncertainty about having 12 months of cash (claim 15462). It also faced several NASDAQ compliance deadlines: a compliance plan due 2018-08-24, board compliance due 2019-01-07, and compensation-committee compliance due 2019-06-28 (claims 15466, 15467, 15468). The interim CEO period (claim 16644), director resignations (claim 15476) and the collapsed merger all happened in the same year.
A. The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserved 10,000,000 shares (claim 15460). CEO Merrick Okamoto's base salary was $350,000 (claim 15388). His option grant is recorded inconsistently: 2,500,000 shares in claim 15385 but 5,000,000 in claim 15389. That discrepancy should be checked against the original filings.
A. Probably not. Several April 2013 claims describe an African business group operating in 19 African countries and 26 countries overall (claims 20898, 20897), with Ashish Thakkar as founder (claim 20899) and a 'Mara Foundation' (claim 20903). Those look like Mara Group, an unrelated company, attached to MARA through a name match. The 2014 UN Women and EY partnerships (claims 20896, 20895) likely have the same problem. Readers should exclude these until the attribution is verified.
A. First, this record stops in October 2018. It is incomplete for the company's entire bitcoin-mining growth period, so data from 2019 onward is needed. Second, nearly all claims are company statements with no confirmed delivery. Some dated 2018 deadlines, such as the 10-K filing due 2018-04-15 (claim 16645), are still marked 'not_yet_verifiable'. Third, there are data-quality problems: the likely Mara Group mix-up and the conflicting CEO option figures. The key question for diligence is whether mining expansion (claim 15459) ever turned into measurable output and revenue.
Frequently asked
2026-10-19A. The disclosed record shows two different businesses. From 2013 to about 2015 it was Marathon Patent Group, a patent-licensing company. It bought patent portfolios and earned money by licensing them and suing over them (claims 21043, 21013, 21025). It reported no research and development spending (claim 21027). By August 2018 it had turned to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The record ends in October 2018, so it does not show the later scale-up of the mining business.
A. The latest strategy on file is expanding cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459, Aug 2018). A planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated, with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claims 15477, 15461). Management was rebuilt in October 2018. Merrick Okamoto became Executive Chairman and CEO at a $350,000 base salary (claims 15387, 15388), and David Lieberman became CFO (claim 15390). This dossier contains no later strategy statements.
A. No customers are named for the mining business. In the patent era, the named counterparties were the sellers and licensors of the patents: Siemens Technology, Zhone, Mosaid, Intergraph, Delphi Technologies, TeleCommunication Systems, CyberFone Systems and TT IP (claims 21016-21035). IP Navigation Group is named as a key supplier (claim 21024). None of these are disclosed as paying customers, and the record has no revenue figures.
A. Delivered: In July 2018 Nasdaq flagged the company for not complying with its listing rules (claims 15466-15468). Nasdaq compliance was regained in August 2018 (claim 15438). The two promised independent directors were appointed: Michael Berg as audit chair and Fred Thiel as compensation chair (claims 15435, 15437, 15465). The patent acquisitions were completed according to the 2014 annual report. Announced only, or not confirmed in the record: the 2018 mining expansion (claim 15459), a 10,000,000-share 2018 equity plan (claim 15460), and the Opus Analytics software product (claim 21010), which has no follow-up on file.
A. Weak. In August 2018 the company flagged uncertainty about whether it had 12 months of cash (claim 15462), the standard warning that it may not stay solvent without new money. A 2018 annual-report deadline is also on record (claim 16645). That claim's status has moved between 'delayed' and 'not_yet_verifiable', so whether the report was filed on time has not been confirmed.
A. Three things. First, records after October 2018 that show whether the mining expansion actually produced revenue and capacity. Second, evidence that the 2018 Nasdaq compliance deadlines (claims 15466-15468) were met. That is very likely given claim 15438, but each deadline's status is still not_yet_verifiable. Third, how much shareholders were diluted by the option grants and the 10,000,000-share plan (claim 15460).
A. (1) Wrong company: claims 20895-20903 describe Mara Group and the Mara Foundation, an African conglomerate founded by Ashish Thakkar, with operations in 26 and 19 countries. Those claims almost certainly belong to a different entity and should be ignored for MARA. (2) Conflicting numbers: one claim says the CEO received 2,500,000 options (claim 15385) and another says Okamoto received 5,000,000 (claim 15389). This may be one grant counted twice or two separate grants. (3) Coverage gap: the record stops in late 2018, so it says nothing about the company's later mining operations, rebrand or capital raises.
Frequently asked
2026-10-17A. On this record, the company has had two different businesses. It started as an intellectual-property company. In 2013 it was renamed Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045), acquired Sampo IP (claim 21042), and described itself as an IP acquisition, development and monetization business (claim 21043). It then bought patent portfolios from Mosaid, Siemens, Zhone, CyberFone, Delphi, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems and TT IP (claims 21016, 21031, 21035, 21017, 21023, 21020, 21019, 21021) and enforced them through litigation (claim 21025). By August 2018 its stated direction had moved to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459).
A. The latest strategy on record is expanding cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459, Aug 2018). The record supplied here stops in October 2018, so it says nothing about later strategy, scale, hash-rate targets or results. Readers should not assume anything about the post-2018 business from this dossier alone.
A. None are named. In the patent era, the counterparties on record are licensing agreements with Siemens Technology (claim 21018) and Zhone (claim 21022), and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim 21024). In the mining era, no customers are disclosed. Self-mining earns block rewards rather than revenue from named clients.
A. Events recorded as completed include the name change (claim 21045), the patent acquisitions listed above, regaining Nasdaq listing compliance in August 2018 (claim 15438), and board appointments: Michael Berg as Audit Committee Chair (claim 15435) and Fred Thiel as Compensation Committee Chair (claim 15437). The planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was not delivered. It was terminated (claim 15477), with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). Several 2018 deadlines remain unverified on this record: the 10-K filing (claim 16645), adding two independent directors (claim 15465), the compliance plan (claim 15466), and the Nasdaq and compensation-committee compliance deadlines (claims 15467, 15468).
A. In August 2018 the company disclosed uncertainty about whether it had enough cash for the next 12 months (claim 15462). In the same period it reserved 10,000,000 shares for its 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (claim 15460). In October 2018 it set executive pay: CEO Merrick Okamoto received a $350,000 base salary and 5,000,000 options (claims 15388, 15389), and CFO David Lieberman received $180,000 and 200,000 options (claims 15391, 15392). Heavy equity issuance alongside going-concern-style language is a dilution signal worth tracking.
A. Probably not, and this is the biggest data-quality issue. Claims 20895–20903 describe Mara Group / Mara Foundation: operations in 26 countries (claim 20897) and 19 African countries (claim 20898), founder Ashish J. Thakkar (claim 20899), and partnerships with UN Women and EY (claims 20896, 20895). These appear to belong to an unrelated company with a similar name and were most likely merged in by mistake. They should not be used to describe Marathon until they are verified.
A. First, filings after October 2018 that show whether the mining pivot produced real capacity and revenue. Second, resolution of the unverified 2018 deadlines: the 10-K, director appointments and Nasdaq compliance (claims 16645, 15465–15468). Third, how the cash-runway warning (claim 15462) was addressed, whether through dilution, debt or operations. Fourth, cleanup of the misattributed Mara Group claims.
A. (1) What happened to the patent portfolio and the licensing revenue it was supposed to generate (claim 21014) after the pivot to crypto? (2) Did mining ever reach meaningful scale? Nothing after 2018 is in this record. (3) How much dilution came from the equity plan and option grants (claims 15460, 15389)? (4) Were the 2018 governance and listing-compliance promises kept? (5) Which claims in the dossier belong to a different 'Mara' entity entirely?
Frequently asked
2026-10-17A. The record shows two different businesses. In 2013 the company moved into acquiring, developing and licensing patents (claim 21043). It renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045) and explored selling its real estate business (claim 21044). By August 2018 it had shifted to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The excerpt we hold ends in late 2018, so it does not cover the company's later history.
A. It bought patent portfolios and earned money by licensing them and suing alleged infringers. Portfolios came from Sampo IP (claims 21042, 21015), Mosaid (claim 21016), CyberFone (claim 21017), TeleCommunication Systems (claim 21019), Intergraph (claim 21020), TT IP (claim 21021), Delphi (claim 21023), Siemens (claim 21031) and Zhone (claim 21035). Its filings report patent enforcement litigation (claim 21025) and no R&D spending (claim 21027). In 2015 it also described a SaaS product called Opus Analytics (claim 21010).
A. No customers are named in the mining era; a miner sells into a market rather than to identified clients. For the patent era, the record names licensing agreements with Siemens Technology (claim 21018) and Zhone (claim 21022), and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim 21024). Several 'partners' on file, including UN Women (claim 20896) and EY (claim 20895), appear to belong to a different company (see the last question).
A. No claim in this record is tracked as independently verified as 'delivered'. Everything is either 'stated' (taken from the company's own disclosures) or 'not_yet_verifiable'. Among the stated events: the planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated (claim 15477), with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). Directors resigned (claim 15476). Michael Berg and Fred Thiel later joined board committees (claims 15435, 15437), and the company said it had regained NASDAQ compliance (claim 15438).
A. Merrick Okamoto was disclosed with a $350,000 base salary (claim 15388) and options on 5,000,000 shares (claim 15389). David Lieberman was named CFO (claim 15390) at $180,000 (claim 15391), with options on 200,000 shares (claim 15392). A 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserved 10,000,000 shares (claim 15460). Smaller option grants went to directors, for example 50,000 shares each to Fred Thiel and Michael Rudolph (claims 15396, 15394).
A. Several 2018 deadlines have not been confirmed against the record. These include the 10-K filing due 2018-04-15 (claim 16645); the compliance plan due 2018-08-24 (claim 15466); the NASDAQ compliance deadline of 2019-01-07 (claim 15467); appointing 2 new independent directors by the same date (claim 15465); and the compensation committee deadline of 2019-06-28 (claim 15468). The company also flagged uncertainty about having 12 months of cash runway (claim 15462). Readers should look for filings that confirm or contradict these outcomes, and for coverage of the post-2018 mining business, which this excerpt lacks.
A. 1. Some claims appear to be misattributed. The 2013-04-04 claims describe an African conglomerate that operates in 26 countries (claim 20897) and 19 African countries (claim 20898), runs the Mara Foundation (claim 20903), and lists Ashish J. Thakkar as founder (claim 20899). That looks like a different 'Mara' entity, not this company. 2. There is a gap between 2015 and 2018 with almost no claims, so the record does not explain how the patent business ended. 3. Nothing has been independently verified. 4. The record stops in late 2018, so the company's current strategy is not documented here.
Frequently asked
2026-10-17A. The record shows three different businesses over time. In February 2013 the company announced the Sampo IP acquisition (claim 21042), a move into patent acquisition, development and monetization (claim 21043), a plan to explore selling its real estate business (claim 21044), and a name change to Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045). Through 2014 it bought patent portfolios from Mosaid, Siemens, Zhone, CyberFone, Intergraph, Delphi, TeleCommunication Systems and others (claims 21016-21023, 21029, 21031, 21035). It earned money mainly through licensing and patent enforcement litigation (claim 21025), and reported no R&D spending (claim 21027). In 2015 it added a SaaS tool, Opus Analytics (claim 21010). By August 2018 it was describing an expansion into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459).
A. The most recent strategic statement in the material provided is the August 2018 cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459). That came after the termination of the planned Global Bit Ventures merger (claims 15477, 15461). The claim list supplied for this FAQ is cut off partway through October 2018 records, so anything after that is not covered here. Readers should not treat this FAQ as describing the company's present-day strategy.
A. The record names no customers. The named counterparties are patent sellers and licensing parties, such as the Siemens and Zhone licensing agreements (claims 21018, 21022), and a key supplier, IP Navigation Group (claim 21024). Patent-era revenue came from licensees and litigation targets that the claims do not identify. No mining-era customers, pool operators or hosting partners are named.
A. Nothing in the record has been independently verified. Every claim is either 'stated', meaning the company said it, or 'not_yet_verifiable'. Examples include the Global Bit Ventures termination with a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claim 15461), the board appointments of Michael Berg and Fred Thiel (claims 15435, 15437), and the company's own statement that it regained NASDAQ compliance (claim 15438). All of these are company disclosures, not outcomes confirmed by a third party.
A. In 2018 the company had an interim CEO (claim 16644) and faced a 10-K annual report filing deadline of 2018-04-15 that is still not verifiable (claim 16645). Directors resigned when the merger fell through (claim 15476). That left NASDAQ deadlines to fill board seats: a compliance plan due 2018-08-24 (claim 15466), two new independent directors and listing compliance by 2019-01-07 (claims 15465, 15467), and compensation committee compliance by 2019-06-28 (claim 15468). The company also disclosed doubt about whether it had enough cash for the next 12 months (claim 15462).
A. In October 2018 Merrick Okamoto received a $350,000 base salary (claim 15388) and 5,000,000 stock options (claim 15389). CFO David Lieberman received a $180,000 salary and 200,000 options (claims 15391, 15392), and directors received grants of 50,000 to 100,000 options (claims 15393, 15394, 15396). The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserved 10,000,000 shares (claim 15460). Readers should weigh the size of the CEO grant against the company's disclosed cash-runway uncertainty (claim 15462).
A. First, whether the open 2018 deadlines are confirmed: the board seats and NASDAQ compliance due 2019-01-07 (claims 15465, 15467), and compensation committee compliance due 2019-06-28 (claim 15468). Second, whether the cash-runway concern was resolved and, if so, how it was funded and how much existing shareholders were diluted (claim 15462). Third, whether the crypto mining pivot (claim 15459) ever produced disclosed, checkable operating numbers.
A. (1) Mixed-up records: claims 20896-20903 describe Ashish Thakkar's Mara Group and Mara Foundation, including operations in 26 countries, 19 in Africa, and foundation work in 4 African countries (claims 20897, 20898, 20903). These appear to belong to a different company with a similar name and should not be read as MARA's operations. (2) Incomplete record: the claim list stops partway through 2018, so the company's later history is not covered. (3) No verification: no claim has moved past 'stated' or 'not_yet_verifiable'. (4) Missing details: the employee count (claim 21026) and patent portfolio composition (claim 21013) are recorded without figures.
Frequently asked
2026-10-17A. The record shows a company that has changed business models more than once. In February 2013 it announced a new focus on acquiring, developing and monetizing intellectual property (claim 21043). It changed its name to Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045), bought Sampo IP LLC (claim 21042) and began exploring a sale of its real estate business (claim 21044). By 2014 it held patent portfolios bought from Mosaid, CyberFone, Siemens, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Delphi, Zhone and TT IP (claims 21016, 21017, 21031, 21020, 21019, 21023, 21035, 21021). It made money by licensing those patents and by suing to enforce them (claims 21014, 21025). It reported no research and development spending (claim 21027). In August 2018 it disclosed a move into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). That is the most recent strategy in the record.
A. The latest disclosed strategy in this dossier is the August 2018 expansion into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The record shown here stops in late 2018. It contains nothing about mining capacity, machine counts, hashrate or energy sites. Readers should not assume anything about the company's present-day operations from this dossier alone.
A. The record names no customers. The closest it comes is two counterparties to patent licensing agreements, Siemens Technology (claim 21018) and Zhone (claim 21022). Both were also sellers of patent portfolios to the company (claims 21031, 21035). It also names IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (claim 21024). There are no named buyers for any crypto-mining output.
A. Several events are recorded as completed. The name change happened (claim 21045), and multiple patent acquisitions closed (claims 21015–21035). The Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated, with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claims 15477, 15461). The company regained compliance with NASDAQ listing rules in August 2018 (claim 15438), and Michael Berg and Fred Thiel joined the board (claims 15435, 15437). Several dated promises are marked not yet verifiable in this record: the 10-K filing due 2018-04-15 (claim 16645), the NASDAQ compliance plan and its deadlines (claims 15466, 15467, 15468), and the appointment of two new directors by 2019-01-07 (claim 15465). The 2015 Opus Analytics SaaS product (claim 21010) was announced, but the record does not show whether it produced any revenue.
A. In October 2018, CEO Merrick Okamoto had a $350,000 base salary (claim 15388) and options on 5,000,000 shares (claim 15389). CFO David Lieberman had a $180,000 base salary and options on 200,000 shares (claims 15390, 15391, 15392). Directors received smaller grants of 50,000–100,000 option shares (claims 15393, 15394, 15396). The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserved 10,000,000 shares (claim 15460). Readers interested in dilution should look closely at how large the CEO's grant is compared with the overall plan reserve.
A. The company itself flagged doubts. In August 2018 it disclosed uncertainty about whether it had enough cash to fund the next 12 months (claim 15462). In the same period it went through director resignations (claim 15476), an interim CEO (claim 16644) and NASDAQ compliance problems (claims 15466–15468). The record does not show how the cash shortfall was resolved.
A. The most important gap is evidence of what the crypto-mining pivot (claim 15459) actually produced: machines deployed, facilities, coins mined and revenue. It would also help to see the dated 2018–2019 commitments resolved, including the board appointments (claim 15465), the NASDAQ compliance milestones (claims 15466–15468) and the 12-month cash runway (claim 15462). Finally, look for any named customers or counterparties beyond the old patent licensees.
A. There are three. First, some claims appear to describe a different 'Mara' entirely. They mention a Mara Foundation in four African countries, a business presence in 19 African countries and operations in 26 countries, along with executives such as Ashish J. Thakkar and Jagdish Thakkar (claims 20897–20903, 20895, 20896). These look like a different company that shares the name, possibly mismatched by automated extraction, and should be treated as unreliable until checked. Second, the record covers almost nothing after 2018, so the company's current business is undocumented here. Third, every claim came from automated extraction. Several dated claims switched between delayed and not yet verifiable, which means no one has independently confirmed them.
Frequently asked
2026-10-16A. The record shows several reinventions. In February 2013 it adopted the name Marathon Patent Group and described its business as acquiring, developing and monetizing intellectual property (claims 21045, 21043). In 2014 it disclosed buying patent portfolios from Mosaid, Intergraph, Delphi, TeleCommunication Systems, CyberFone, Siemens and Zhone, along with enforcement litigation (claims 21016, 21020, 21023, 21019, 21017, 21031, 21035, 21025). In 2015 it added an 'Opus Analytics' SaaS tool (claim 21010). By August 2018 it was describing a cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459). The record we hold stops in late 2018, so it does not cover the company's later operations.
A. Our record does not reach the present. The latest strategic disclosure in it is the 2018 pivot to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). That pivot came after a planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated, with a break-up fee paid in shares, given as 3,000,000 shares (claims 15477, 15461). In the same period the board and management were rebuilt. Merrick Okamoto became CEO and Chairman on a $350,000 base salary with 5,000,000 stock options (claims 15384, 15388, 15389), and David Lieberman became CFO (claim 15390). Anything about strategy after 2018 is outside this dossier.
A. The record names no customers for the mining business. For the patent era, the counterparties it does name are licensing partners Zhone and Siemens Technology (claims 21022, 21018) and IP Navigation Group, described as a key supplier (claim 21024). The record contains no customer revenue figures or customer-concentration data.
A. Almost every claim has the status 'stated'. That means the company said it, and the statement has not been independently confirmed as delivered. The few dated commitments are marked 'not_yet_verifiable'. These are the April 2018 10-K filing deadline, the NASDAQ compliance-plan and listing-rule deadlines, the appointment of two independent directors, and the 12-month cash-runway warning (claims 16645, 15466, 15467, 15465, 15468, 15462). One item points toward follow-through. In August 2018 the company stated it had regained NASDAQ compliance and had appointed Michael Berg and Fred Thiel to board committees (claims 15438, 15435, 15437). That too is the company's own statement, not a verified outcome.
A. Yes, several. First, claims 20896–20903, dated 2013–2014, describe operations in 26 countries, the Mara Foundation, the Thakkar family and partnerships with UN Women and EY. These appear to describe Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate, and were probably attached to this ticker by mistake. Second, the claims list we received is cut off partway through October 2018. Third, several claims moved between 'delayed' and 'not_yet_verifiable' within days of each other, and claim 15461 changed status four times. That suggests the automated status labels are unstable. All of these should be fixed before anyone relies on the dossier.
A. First, filings from after October 2018 that show whether the mining pivot produced operating assets and revenue. Second, confirmation that the deadline items were met: the 10-K filing, the NASDAQ listing and compensation-committee compliance, and the two independent director seats (claims 16645, 15467, 15468, 15465). Third, whether the cash-runway warning that ran to August 2019 (claim 15462) was resolved by new financing. Fourth, dilution from the 10,000,000-share 2018 equity plan reserve and from executive option grants (claims 15460, 15389, 15386).
A. (1) Whether the company could fund itself through 2019, given its own going-concern-style runway warning (claim 15462). (2) Whether the patent portfolios ever earned meaningful licensing revenue. The record says only that patent revenue 'commenced' (claim 21014), with no amounts. (3) How the mining business was built and financed after the Global Bit Ventures deal failed. (4) Governance continuity, given that directors resigned in mid-2018 and an interim CEO served before Okamoto (claims 15476, 16644). (5) How much of the record has been misattributed, because the Mara Group claims were mixed in.
Frequently asked
2026-10-16A. The record shows several different businesses over time. In 2013 the company exited real estate (21044), bought Sampo IP LLC (21042), and renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (21045) to acquire, license and enforce patents (21043). It then bought patent portfolios from Mosaid, CyberFone, Siemens, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, Delphi, Zhone and others (21016–21035). It reported no R&D spending (21027) and relied on litigation (21025). By August 2018 it was describing a cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459). The claims on record end in late 2018, so they do not document the company's later bitcoin-mining scale.
A. The latest strategy on record is the 2018 pivot to cryptocurrency mining (15459). That pivot came with a new 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserving 10,000,000 shares (15460) and a leadership reshuffle. No claims after October 2018 appear in this dossier. Anything about the company's strategy today should be checked against more recent filings and not inferred from this record.
A. No mining customers or counterparties are named. During the patent era, the named licensees were Siemens Technology (21018) and Zhone (21022), and IP Navigation Group was a key supplier (21024). Bitcoin mining usually has no customers in the usual sense, but the record also names no hosting providers, pools or equipment suppliers.
A. Delivered or completed on the record: the patent portfolio acquisitions and the two licensing deals (21018, 21022), and regained NASDAQ listing-rule compliance after new directors were appointed in August 2018 (15435, 15437, 15438). The planned Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated (15477), with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (15461). The crypto mining expansion (15459) appears only as a stated intent, with no reported hashrate, machine count or revenue. The Opus Analytics SaaS tool (21010) also appears only as an offering, with no reported uptake.
A. In August 2018 the company disclosed uncertainty about whether it had 12 months of cash runway (15462). Directors resigned in June 2018 (15476). Several NASDAQ compliance deadlines (15466, 15467, 15468), the appointment of two independent directors (15465), and a 2018 10-K deadline (16645) are all marked not_yet_verifiable. In October 2018, large option grants were disclosed: 5,000,000 options for Merrick Okamoto (15389) and 2,500,000 unvested options with change-of-control acceleration (15386). David Lieberman was appointed CFO at a base salary of $180,000 (15390, 15391).
A. Yes. Claims 20895–20903 describe Mara Group and the Mara Foundation: Ashish and Jagdish Thakkar, operations in 26 and 19 countries, and partnerships with UN Women and EY. That is an unrelated African conglomerate that appears to have been misattributed to Marathon because of the 'Mara' name. Separately, claim 21046 records the 2013 reverse split ratio as '2-for-3', which should be checked against the source. All claims were produced by automated extraction and have not been independently verified.
A. 1. Whether the pending 2018–2019 compliance deadlines (15466, 15467, 15468, 16645) were actually met. 2. Whether the cash-runway concern (15462) was resolved through financing. 3. Whether the mining expansion (15459) ever produced disclosed operating metrics such as hashrate, fleet size or bitcoin produced. 4. Any post-2018 claims that bring the dossier up to date.
A. 1. The company's current strategy, scale and finances, since the record stops in 2018. 2. Whether the patent assets were still producing revenue once mining began. 3. How much shareholders were diluted by the equity plan, option grants and the GBV break-up shares (15460, 15389, 15461). 4. Whether the governance gaps behind the 2018 NASDAQ notices were fully closed.
Frequently asked
2026-10-16A. Based on the claims on record, the company has had two distinct businesses. From 2013 it operated as Marathon Patent Group, which acquired patent portfolios and earned money by licensing and enforcing them (claims 21043, 21045, 21025). It reported no research and development spending (claim 21027). In 2018 its disclosures shifted to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The record provided ends in October 2018, so it does not document the company's later operations.
A. The most recent strategic claim in this record is the 2018 cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459). A planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated that year (claims 15477, 15461), and new leadership was installed in October 2018 (claims 15384, 15390). No strategy claims after October 2018 appear in this record. Readers should not treat the 2018 position as current without newer disclosures.
A. The only named counterparties are from the patent era. The company disclosed licensing agreements with Zhone (claim 21022) and Siemens Technology (claim 21018), and named IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (claim 21024). The record names no customers, offtake partners, or hosting counterparties for the cryptocurrency mining business.
A. Most claims are company statements that have not been independently verified (status 'stated'), including the patent acquisitions from Mosaid, Intergraph, Delphi, TeleCommunication Systems and CyberFone (claims 21016–21023). Several 2018 regulatory and governance commitments are marked 'not_yet_verifiable'. These include the 10-K filing deadline (claim 16645), the Nasdaq compliance plan and compliance deadlines (claims 15466, 15467, 15468), the appointment of two independent directors (claim 15465), and the 12-month cash runway question (claim 15462). In each case the outcome has not been confirmed. The company did state that it regained Nasdaq compliance in August 2018 (claim 15438), but that claim is also unverified.
A. The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserved 10,000,000 shares (claim 15460). The terminated Global Bit Ventures merger carried a break-up fee payable in 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). CEO Merrick Okamoto was disclosed with a $350,000 base salary (claim 15388) and 5,000,000 stock options (claim 15389). Of those, 2,500,000 were issued (claim 15385) and 2,500,000 unvested options accelerate on a change of control (claim 15386). Director Fred Thiel received 50,000 options (claim 15396).
A. Probably not. Several April 2013 and 2014 claims describe operations in 26 countries (claim 20897), an African presence in 19 countries (claim 20898), a Mara Foundation (claim 20903), founder Ashish J. Thakkar (claim 20899), and partnerships with UN Women and EY (claims 20896, 20895). These match Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate, rather than Marathon Patent Group. They appear to be an automated-extraction mix-up and should be disregarded until reviewed.
A. First, whether the 'not_yet_verifiable' 2018 items can be resolved from later filings: the 10-K timing, the Nasdaq deadlines, the board appointments, and the cash runway (claims 16645, 15466, 15467, 15468, 15465, 15462). Second, any disclosures after 2018 about the scale of the mining operation, its counterparties, and its financing, none of which this record covers.
A. 1) The record stops in late 2018 even though the company kept operating. 2) No customers or partners are named for the crypto business. 3) Almost every claim is self-reported ('stated') and none is independently verified. 4) Its going-concern-style runway warning (claim 15462) has not been followed up. 5) Mara Group claims are mixed into the dossier. Any conclusions drawn from this dossier should account for these gaps.
Frequently asked
2026-10-16A. The record shows three phases. In early 2013 the company renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045) and moved into acquiring, developing and licensing patents (claim 21043). Through 2014 it bought patent portfolios from companies including Mosaid, Siemens, Zhone, Delphi, Intergraph and TeleCommunication Systems, and earned money mainly by enforcing them through litigation (claims 21016, 21031, 21035, 21023, 21020, 21019, 21025). It reported no R&D spending (claim 21027). In 2015 it offered a SaaS analytics tool (claim 21010). By August 2018 its disclosed focus had moved to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459).
A. The latest strategy in this record is the August 2018 move to expand cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). A planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated, with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claims 15477, 15461). In October 2018 a new team took over: Merrick Okamoto became Executive Chairman and CEO with a $350,000 salary and 5,000,000 options (claims 15387, 15388, 15389), and David Lieberman became CFO (claim 15390). The claim list we received is cut off partway through October 2018, so nothing after that date is covered here. Readers should not treat this FAQ as describing the company's present-day strategy.
A. None are named. The patent-era filings name counterparties: licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022), and IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (claim 21024). These are sources or licensors of patents, not buyers of a product. The crypto-mining disclosures in the record name no customers, offtakers or hosting partners.
A. Nothing in the record has been independently verified as delivered. Every item is marked 'stated', meaning the company said it, or 'not_yet_verifiable'. Some events are by nature one-off corporate actions, such as the name change, portfolio purchases, the merger termination and executive appointments, and are likely factual, but the dossier has not confirmed them. In August 2018 the company stated it had regained Nasdaq compliance (claim 15438) and added directors Michael Berg and Fred Thiel (claims 15435, 15437). Earlier deadlines for appointing 2 independent directors and meeting listing rules (claims 15465, 15466, 15467, 15468) remain marked not_yet_verifiable. The 2018 10-K filing deadline (claim 16645) has the same status.
A. In mid-2018 the company had several at once. Directors resigned and the board fell out of compliance with Nasdaq rules (claims 15476, 15465 to 15468). An interim CEO was in place (claim 16644), and there was a pending 10-K deadline (claim 16645). It also disclosed uncertainty about having 12 months of cash runway (claim 15462). A 2018 equity plan reserved 10,000,000 shares (claim 15460), and 2.5 million unvested options carried change-of-control acceleration (claim 15386). Together with the new CEO's 5,000,000 options (claim 15389), this points to potentially significant dilution for shareholders.
A. Probably not. Nine claims dated 2013-2014 describe Ashish Thakkar as founder, operations in 26 countries, an African presence in 19 countries, the Mara Foundation in 4 African countries, and partnerships with UN Women and EY (claims 20897 to 20903, 20895, 20896). These match the Africa-based Mara Group, an unrelated conglomerate, and were most likely misattributed by automated extraction because the names are similar. They should be excluded from any analysis of Marathon until checked against the original sources.
A. Three things. First, whether the crypto-mining expansion (claim 15459) turned into measurable assets, such as the number of miners, hash rate and power capacity, with named suppliers or hosting sites. Second, whether the 2018 cash-runway concern (claim 15462) was resolved and at what cost to shareholders through dilution. Third, whether the listing-compliance and filing deadlines (claims 15465 to 15468, 16645) can be confirmed as met.
A. 1) The record is truncated in October 2018, so any later history is missing from this dossier. 2) The suspected misattribution of the Mara Group claims needs to be resolved. 3) It is not clear what happened to the patent portfolios and their licensing income after the pivot to crypto. 4) None of the stated claims have been verified against the outcomes the company announced.
Frequently asked
2026-10-15A. The record shows a company that has changed businesses more than once. In 2013 it acquired Sampo IP LLC (claim 21042) and renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045). Its stated business was acquiring, developing and monetizing intellectual property (claim 21043), and it planned to dispose of a prior real estate business (claim 21044). By August 2018 its disclosed focus had shifted to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The record ends in October 2018, so it does not cover the company's later bitcoin-mining operations.
A. The company bought patent portfolios and earned money from licensing and litigation. It did no research and development of its own (claim 21027). In 2014 it disclosed portfolio acquisitions from Mosaid, CyberFone, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, Delphi, Siemens and Zhone (claims 21016, 21017, 21019, 21020, 21023, 21031, 21035). It also disclosed enforcement litigation (claim 21025) and relied on IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (claim 21024). In 2015 it added a SaaS product called Opus Analytics (claim 21010).
A. Very few are named. The only counterparties identified are licensing agreements with Zhone and Siemens Technology (claims 21018, 21022). The company also bought patent portfolios from those same two firms (claims 21031, 21035), so these may be acquisition-related licenses rather than independent paying customers. The record names no customers, pool operators or hosting partners for the crypto-mining business.
A. The latest strategy on record is the 2018 move into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). A planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated (claim 15477), with a break-up fee paid in 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). Leadership changed: Merrick Okamoto became CEO and Chairman (claim 15384) and received 2.5 million options that accelerate on a change of control (claims 15385, 15386). A 2018 equity incentive plan reserved 10,000,000 shares (claim 15460). The record contains nothing about strategy after October 2018.
A. Almost every claim is marked 'stated', meaning the company said it but delivery has not been independently verified. One milestone has a documented outcome: the company announced in August 2018 that it had regained compliance with a NASDAQ listing rule (claim 15438), after new independent directors were appointed (claims 15435, 15437). Several forward-dated items are marked not_yet_verifiable even though their deadlines have long passed. These include the 10-K filing deadline (claim 16645), the NASDAQ compliance plan and deadlines (claims 15466, 15467, 15468), and the board appointments (claim 15465).
A. First, the record stops in late 2018, so the company's entire scaled bitcoin-mining era is missing, including hashrate, fleet size, sites and holdings. Second, in 2018 the company disclosed uncertainty about whether it had 12 months of cash (claim 15462), and the record never shows how that was resolved. Third, there is no evidence on whether the patent portfolios produced meaningful revenue. Claim 21014 says revenue generation began but gives no amounts.
A. No. Claims 20895 through 20903 describe Mara Group, an African business conglomerate. They cover Ashish Thakkar as founder, Jagdish Thakkar as chairman, operations in 26 countries, and the Mara Foundation. They appear to have been attached to MARA because of the shared name. Readers should disregard them. Claim 21037, about a NASDAQ listing ambition in May 2013, should also be checked to confirm it belongs to this company.
A. Watch for the record being extended past 2018 with the company's mining disclosures, such as hashrate guidance, machine deliveries, site energization and bitcoin produced, so that announcements can be checked against results. Also watch for the expired regulatory and cash-runway items (claims 15462, 15466, 15467, 15468, 16645) to be updated to delivered or missed, and for the mis-attributed Mara Group claims to be removed.
Frequently asked
2026-10-15A. On the record shown here, Marathon has had two distinct businesses. It started as Marathon Patent Group, renamed on 2013-02-04 (claim 21045). It acquired and licensed patents, buying portfolios from Sampo IP, Mosaid, CyberFone, Delphi, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Siemens and Zhone (claims 21042, 21016, 21017, 21023, 21020, 21019, 21031, 21035). It earned money through licensing and litigation (claims 21014, 21025) and spent nothing on R&D (claim 21027). In 2018 it pivoted to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The ticker and current name, Marathon Digital (MARA), reflect that second business.
A. The most recent strategic claim on record is an August 2018 statement about expanding cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The record provided ends in October 2018. It contains no disclosed figures for hashrate, mining fleet size, bitcoin holdings or energy capacity. Treat the current strategy as not documented in this dossier until later filings are added.
A. None are named. In the patent era, the only named counterparties beyond patent sellers are licensees Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022) and supplier IP Navigation Group (claim 21024). For the mining business, the record names no customers, hosting partners or offtakers. Bitcoin mining usually has no customers in the conventional sense, because revenue comes from block rewards and fees.
A. Nearly every claim is in 'stated' status. That means the company said it, and nothing on record independently confirms the outcome. Several 2018 Nasdaq-related deadlines are 'not_yet_verifiable': a compliance plan due 2018-08-24 (claim 15466), two new independent directors due by 2019-01-07 (claim 15465), and compliance deadlines in 2019 (claims 15467, 15468). The company did state that it regained Nasdaq listing compliance on 2018-08-21 (claim 15438), after naming Michael Berg and Fred Thiel to board committees (claims 15435, 15437). The planned Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated, not completed (claims 15477, 15461).
A. Marathon announced a merger with Global Bit Ventures, a crypto miner, and then terminated it in mid-2018 (claim 15477). Directors resigned around the same time (claim 15476). The termination came with a break-up fee paid in shares, 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). In August 2018 the company also flagged uncertainty about having 12 months of cash runway (claim 15462), which signals going-concern risk at the time.
A. As of October 2018, Merrick Okamoto was CEO and Executive Chairman (claims 15384, 15387) and David Lieberman was CFO (claim 15390). Okamoto's base salary was $350,000 (claim 15388). His option grants are recorded inconsistently: 5,000,000 options in claim 15389, versus 2.5 million issued plus 2.5 million unvested with change-of-control acceleration in claims 15385 and 15386. These are probably the same 5M grant split into two parts, but readers should check the source filing. The 2018 equity plan reserved 10,000,000 shares (claim 15460), which is a potential source of dilution.
A. Yes. Claims 20896–20903 (from 2013–2014) describe Ashish and Jagdish Thakkar, operations in 26 countries, an African presence in 19 countries, the Mara Foundation, and partnerships with UN Women and EY. These appear to describe Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate, and were most likely misattributed because the names are similar. The input record was also cut off partway through the October 2018 entries. Nothing after that date is reflected here.
A. (1) Fill the post-2018 gap. The dossier needs mining-era disclosures, such as hashrate, owned versus hosted machines, power contracts and bitcoin treasury, before anyone can assess the current business. (2) Confirm whether the 2018–2019 Nasdaq and governance deadlines (claims 15465–15468) were met. (3) Track cumulative dilution from equity plans and share-based payments (claims 15460, 15461). (4) Remove the Mara Group claims. (5) Check whether any patent-era assets or litigation remain, given the many portfolio acquisitions recorded in 2014.
Frequently asked
2026-10-15A. The record shows a company that has changed identity more than once. In 2013 it renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045) and became a patent-licensing business. It bought patent portfolios and earned money by licensing and litigating them (claims 21043, 21025), with no R&D spending of its own (claim 21027). By 2018 its disclosed focus had moved to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The dossier does not describe the mining operations in any detail, such as hash rate, machine count or sites. It also says nothing about the company's later rebranding to Marathon Digital, because the claims shown stop in late 2018.
A. The most recent strategy claim on record is the 2018 expansion into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). That move came with a new 10,000,000-share equity incentive plan (claim 15460) and a new management team: Merrick Okamoto at a $350,000 base salary with 5,000,000 stock options (claims 15388, 15389), and David Lieberman as CFO (claim 15390). The dossier has nothing more recent than this. Readers should not treat it as describing the company's present-day strategy.
A. No mining customers or counterparties are named. During the patent era, the named relationships were mostly sellers and licensing counterparties rather than paying customers: Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022), plus portfolios bought from Mosaid, TeleCommunication Systems, Delphi, Intergraph and CyberFone (claims 21016, 21019, 21023, 21020, 21017). IP Navigation Group appears as a key supplier, not a customer (claim 21024). The record does not identify who actually paid the company licensing revenue.
A. Delivered: the 2013 name change and the patent acquisitions are recorded as stated facts. The company also says it regained Nasdaq listing-rule compliance in August 2018 (claim 15438), after new directors Michael Berg and Fred Thiel joined the board (claims 15435, 15437). Not delivered: the Global Bit Ventures mining merger was terminated (claim 15477), and the company paid a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). Several 2018 deadlines are still marked not_yet_verifiable: the compliance plan due 2018-08-24 (claim 15466), the Nasdaq compliance deadline of 2019-01-07 (claim 15467), the two-new-directors commitment (claim 15465), and the 10-K due 2018-04-15 (claim 16645). The 10-K claim was earlier tagged 'delayed'.
A. Not very. In August 2018 the company disclosed uncertainty over whether it had 12 months of cash runway (claim 15462). That disclosure came just after the failed Global Bit Ventures deal, board resignations (claim 15476) and an interim CEO arrangement (claim 16644). Whether the company actually got through that 12-month window is not recorded.
A. 1) Whether the not_yet_verifiable 2018–2019 deadlines are confirmed as met or missed (claims 15465–15468, 16645). 2) Whether the cash-runway concern was resolved (claim 15462). 3) Most importantly, whether the dossier gets claims from 2019 onward. Without them there are no measurable mining commitments to track, such as hash-rate targets, machine deliveries or facility capacity.
A. Yes. Claims 20895–20903 (2013–2014) describe a different company: an African conglomerate with operations in 26 countries, founded by Ashish Thakkar, with a 'Mara Foundation' and UN Women/EY partnerships. That entity, Mara Group, appears to have been matched to this company because of the shared 'MARA' name. Its country-count figures (claims 20897, 20898, 20903) should not be attributed to Marathon. Separately, nearly every claim is an unverified 'stated' extraction, and the claim list given for this FAQ was cut off partway through 2018-10-15 (around claim 15387), so later entries may exist but were not reviewed.
A. 1) What the mining business actually consists of. The record has no operating metrics at all. 2) How the company went from patent licensing to mining, and what happened to the patent portfolio and the litigation (claim 21025). 3) Whether the governance and listing deadlines from 2018 were met. 4) Everything after late 2018, which is missing from the record entirely, along with the cleanup of the misattributed Mara Group claims.
Frequently asked
2026-10-15A. On this record it has done two different things. From 2013 it was a patent business, renamed Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045), that bought patent portfolios and made money by licensing and enforcing them in court (claims 21043, 21025, 21014). It reported no research and development spending (claim 21027). From 2018 the filings point to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The record does not show a clean end to the patent business.
A. The latest strategic claim in this dossier is from August 2018: expanding cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The record stops at October 2018, so it says nothing about later strategy. A reader needs more recent filings for the current picture.
A. The record names no mining customers or buyers. For the patent business, it names counterparties instead. Licensing agreements were with Zhone (claim 21022) and Siemens Technology (claim 21018). Portfolios came from Delphi, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, CyberFone, Mosaid and others (claims 21023, 21020, 21019, 21017, 21016). These are sources of patents and licensing partners, not recurring customers. No dollar values are attached to any of them.
A. Several events are recorded as done. The company regained compliance with NASDAQ listing rules (claim 15438). Michael Berg and Fred Thiel were appointed to board committee roles (claims 15435, 15437). The planned Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated, with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claims 15477, 15461). Merrick Okamoto became CEO and Chairman at a $350,000 base salary with 5,000,000 stock options (claims 15384, 15388, 15389). The crypto mining expansion is a stated plan. The record has no production or revenue figures that show it was carried out.
A. Several 2018 deadlines are marked not yet verifiable. These include the 10-K annual report due 2018-04-15 (claim 16645) and a NASDAQ compliance plan due 2018-08-24 (claim 15466). Two new independent directors were promised by 2019-01-07 (claim 15465), alongside a broader listing compliance deadline on the same date (claim 15467). Compensation committee compliance was due 2019-06-28 (claim 15468). Each of these is now years past due, so the outcomes should exist in later filings.
A. In August 2018 the company disclosed uncertainty about whether its cash would last the next 12 months (claim 15462). In the same period it set aside 10,000,000 shares for an equity incentive plan (claim 15460). The record does not show how that cash gap was closed or how much shareholders were diluted.
A. Possibly. A set of April 2013 claims describes a group with operations in 26 countries (claim 20897), a presence in 19 African countries (claim 20898), and the Mara Foundation working in 4 African countries (claim 20903). These claims also name founder Ashish J. Thakkar (claim 20899). They appear to describe a different 'Mara' entity, not this US patent and mining company, and may have been attached to it by mistake during automated extraction. Treat them with caution until they are checked.
A. First, get filings after October 2018 to see whether the mining expansion (claim 15459) produced real operations and revenue. Second, check whether the open 2018–2019 listing and governance deadlines were met (claims 15465–15468). Third, find out how the cash runway concern (claim 15462) was resolved. Fourth, confirm whether the patent licensing business was wound down or kept.
Frequently asked
2026-10-15A. The record shows several reinventions. In 2013 it became Marathon Patent Group, an intellectual-property business that buys, develops and monetizes patents (claims 21043, 21045). Through 2014 it bought patent portfolios from Sampo, Mosaid, Siemens, Zhone, Delphi, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems and CyberFone, and pursued enforcement litigation (claims 21013–21025). By August 2018 it had moved into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The claims excerpt provided ends in late 2018, so it does not cover the company's later operations as a large-scale bitcoin miner.
A. The latest strategy in this record is the 2018 expansion into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). A planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated, with a break-up fee payable in shares (3,000,000 shares, claim 15461). The company also reserved 10,000,000 shares for a 2018 equity incentive plan (claim 15460). The excerpt has no strategy claims after October 2018, so it does not show the current strategy.
A. No mining customers or counterparties are named in the record. The only named commercial relationships are from the patent era. Licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022) appear alongside patent purchases from those same companies, so they may be acquisition-related rather than revenue-generating licensees. IP Navigation Group is listed as a key supplier (claim 21024). Readers should not treat any of these as customers of the current business.
A. Every substantive claim on record has status 'stated'. That means each is the company's own disclosure, and none has been independently verified as delivered. Examples include the patent acquisitions, the Opus Analytics SaaS tool (claim 21010) and the mining expansion (claim 15459). One 2018 milestone has a positive follow-up: a stated return to NASDAQ listing compliance after board appointments (claims 15435, 15437, 15438). Even that is self-reported.
A. Five dated items from 2018 are marked not_yet_verifiable. They are the 10-K filing deadline (claim 16645), the compliance plan submission (claim 15466), the appointment of two independent directors (claim 15465), the NASDAQ and compensation-committee compliance deadlines (claims 15467, 15468), and the 12-month cash runway warning (claim 15462). Each of these went through a 'delayed' status before being reclassified. All of their deadlines are years in the past and can be checked against later filings. Resolving them is the most direct way to see whether 2018 commitments were met.
A. CEO Merrick Okamoto had a $350,000 base salary (claim 15388) and 5,000,000 stock options (claim 15389). A separate claim records 2,500,000 options issued to the CEO (claim 15385), and how it relates to the 5,000,000 figure is unclear. CFO David Lieberman had a $180,000 salary (claim 15391). Directors also received option grants (claims 15393–15396). The equity awards were large for a company that had disclosed doubt about its 12-month cash runway (claim 15462).
A. Yes, there are two. First, claims 20895–20903 describe Mara Group and the Mara Foundation: Ashish Thakkar as founder, operations in 26 countries (claim 20897) and 19 African countries (claim 20898), and UN Women and EY partnerships. These appear to belong to an unrelated African conglomerate and were likely misattributed by automated extraction on the shared 'Mara' name. Second, the claim list is cut off partway through, after October 2018, so later history is missing from this excerpt.
A. 1) What happened to the patent portfolio and litigation once the company pivoted to mining? 2) Were the 2018 NASDAQ, governance and cash-runway concerns resolved, given that claims 15462–15468 are still unverified? 3) What does the full post-2018 record show about mining scale, financing and dilution? 4) Will the misattributed Mara Group claims be removed? Until these are answered, readers should rely on primary SEC filings rather than this dossier for the company's current state.
Frequently asked
2026-10-14A. Based on the record, the company has changed business several times. In February 2013 it renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045), moved into acquiring, developing and monetizing intellectual property (claims 21042, 21043), and explored selling its earlier real estate business (claim 21044). Through 2014 it bought patent portfolios from Mosaid, CyberFone, Delphi, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Zhone, Siemens and others (claims 21016, 21017, 21019, 21020, 21023, 21031, 21035), and it enforced those patents through litigation (claim 21025). By August 2018 the disclosed focus had shifted to expanding cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). Note that the file supplied for this FAQ cuts off partway through the October 2018 entries, so later disclosures were not available.
A. The latest strategy statement in the reviewed records is the 2018 pivot to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). Around the same time, a planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated, with a break-up fee paid in shares (3,000,000 shares, claim 15461; see also claim 15477). Management changed as well. Merrick Okamoto became Executive Chairman and CEO (claims 15384, 15387) at a base salary of $350,000 (claim 15388), and David Lieberman became CFO (claim 15390). No mining capacity, hashrate, or production figures appear in the portion of the record available here, so this FAQ cannot describe a strategy beyond late 2018.
A. In the patent-licensing era, the record names licensing agreements with Siemens Technology (claim 21018) and Zhone (claim 21022), and it lists IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (claim 21024). The record names no counterparties at all for the crypto mining business. In 2015 the company also announced a SaaS product, Opus Analytics (claim 21010), but named no customers for it.
A. Every claim in the record is labeled 'stated', meaning the company said it, or 'not_yet_verifiable'. None has been independently marked as delivered. A few events are reported as completed. The company said it regained compliance with NASDAQ listing rules (claim 15438) after appointing Michael Berg as Audit Committee Chairman and Fred Thiel as Compensation Committee Chairman (claims 15435, 15437). The Global Bit Ventures merger is reported as terminated (claims 15477, 15461). By contrast, the 2018 compliance deadlines, including the plan submission due 2018-08-24 and the two-director requirement due 2019-01-07, remain 'not_yet_verifiable' (claims 15465, 15466, 15467, 15468).
A. Yes, in 2018. The company had an interim CEO (claim 16644). Its 10-K annual report deadline of 2018-04-15 was at one point flagged as delayed (claim 16645). Directors resigned when the merger fell apart (claim 15476). It had to fix NASDAQ board-composition deficiencies (claims 15465 through 15468). It also disclosed uncertainty about whether it had 12 months of cash (claim 15462). In addition, equity compensation was large relative to the company's size: a 10,000,000-share incentive plan (claim 15460) and 5,000,000 options to the CEO (claim 15389), half of which vest early on a change of control (claims 15385, 15386).
A. Probably not. The 2013-04-04 and early-2014 claims describe a business present in 26 countries and 19 African countries (claims 20897, 20898), a Mara Foundation (claim 20903), founder Ashish J. Thakkar (claim 20899), and partnerships with UN Women and EY (claims 20895, 20896). These match the unrelated Africa-focused Mara Group, not Marathon Patent Group. They appear to be mismatches from automated extraction, and readers should disregard them until they are reviewed.
A. First, disclosures after October 2018 that turn the mining pivot into measurable output, such as installed machines, hashrate, coins mined, and power contracts. None of these is in the record available here. Second, confirmation that the company resolved the 2018-2019 NASDAQ compliance and cash-runway items (claims 15462, 15465 through 15468). Third, any renewed patent licensing revenue or litigation outcomes from the acquired portfolios.
A. 1) Results of the crypto pivot: the record contains intent (claim 15459) but no operating numbers. 2) What happened to the patent portfolios and whether they still generate revenue (claims 21013, 21014). 3) Data quality: the dossier appears to mix in another company's claims (see the Mara Group question), and the file supplied for this FAQ was truncated in October 2018. 4) Funding: the 2018 cash runway warning (claim 15462) and large option grants suggest heavy reliance on issuing shares, and the extent of dilution is not quantified in the record.
Frequently asked
2026-10-13A. The record shows three different businesses over time. In 2013 it renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045) and moved into buying, licensing and enforcing patents (claim 21043). It bought portfolios from Sampo IP, Mosaid, CyberFone, Siemens, Zhone, Delphi, Intergraph and TeleCommunication Systems (claims 21015-21035). It also offered an analytics software tool called Opus Analytics (claim 21010). By August 2018 the disclosed focus had shifted to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). Note that the claims supplied here stop in October 2018, so anything the company has done since then is not covered by this dossier.
A. The latest strategy on this record is expanding into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459, August 2018). It tried to grow by merging with Global Bit Ventures, but that merger was terminated (claim 15477). The termination involved a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). The company also reserved 10,000,000 shares for a 2018 equity incentive plan (claim 15460). Because the record ends in 2018, it does not show how the mining strategy played out.
A. No customers are named anywhere in the record. During the patent era, the closest counterparties are licensing agreements with Siemens Technology (claim 21018) and Zhone (claim 21022). IP Navigation Group is named as a key supplier (claim 21024). For the crypto-mining period, no customers, hosting partners or offtakers appear in the record at all.
A. Things the filings report as completed include: the name change (claim 21045), several patent portfolio acquisitions (claims 21015-21035), and the start of patent revenue (claim 21014). The company also regained compliance with NASDAQ listing rules in August 2018 (claim 15438), after independent directors Michael Berg (claim 15435) and Fred Thiel (claim 15437) were appointed. The Global Bit Ventures merger was announced but terminated (claims 15477, 15461), so it was never delivered. The company reported no research and development spending (claim 21027).
A. As of October 2018, CEO Merrick Okamoto had a base salary of $350,000 (claim 15388) and 5,000,000 stock options (claim 15389). CFO David Lieberman had a base salary of $180,000 (claim 15391) and 200,000 options (claim 15392). Directors received smaller grants of 50,000 to 100,000 options each (claims 15393, 15394, 15396). Measured against the 10,000,000-share equity plan reserve (claim 15460), the CEO's grant is large.
A. Not clearly. In August 2018 the company disclosed uncertainty about whether it had enough cash for the next 12 months (claim 15462). The same year it faced several NASDAQ governance deadlines: a compliance plan due in 2018 (claim 15466), listing-rule compliance by January 2019 (claim 15467), and a compensation committee requirement by June 2019 (claim 15468). It also had an interim CEO (claim 16644) and directors who resigned (claim 15476). Those deadlines are still marked not_yet_verifiable in this record.
A. Probably not. Claims 20896-20903 describe a 'Mara Foundation' and a business active in 26 countries (claim 20897), 19 of them in Africa (claim 20898). They name Ashish J. Thakkar as founder and Jagdish Thakkar as chairman. These details appear to describe Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate, and were likely misattributed through the shared 'Mara' name. Readers should leave them out until they are verified. The 2013 reverse split is also recorded with an unusual '2-for-3' ratio (claim 21046), which should be checked against the original filing.
A. First, this record is cut off in October 2018, so a reader needs the company's later filings to judge whether the crypto-mining strategy was ever carried out at scale. Second, several 2018-2019 NASDAQ deadlines are still unresolved here (claims 15466, 15467, 15468), as is the promise to add two new independent directors (claim 15465). Third, it is unclear whether the cash runway concern (claim 15462) was resolved without heavy dilution of shareholders. Finally, the misattributed Mara Group claims should be cleaned out before anyone relies on this dossier.
Frequently asked
2026-10-13A. On the record provided, the company has reinvented itself at least twice. In February 2013 it renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045) and moved into acquiring, developing and monetizing intellectual property (claim 21043), starting with the Sampo IP acquisition (claim 21042). By August 2018 its disclosed focus was expanding into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The latest claims we have are from October 2018, so this dossier does not cover what the company does today.
A. The most recent strategy on record is a pivot to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). That came alongside a planned merger with Global Bit Ventures, which was terminated (claims 15477, 15461). Before that, the strategy was patent monetization: buying portfolios from Mosaid, Intergraph, CyberFone, TeleCommunication Systems, Delphi and others (claims 21016, 21020, 21017, 21019, 21023), then licensing them and enforcing them through litigation (claim 21025). A 2015 SaaS product, Opus Analytics, also appears (claim 21010). The supplied record stops partway through late 2018, so any later strategy is not shown here.
A. The record names no customers for the mining business. For the patent business, the only named counterparties are licensing agreements with Siemens Technology (claim 21018) and Zhone (claim 21022). IP Navigation Group is named as a key supplier, not a customer (claim 24). No revenue figures are tied to any named counterparty in the claims on record.
A. Confirmed as completed: the name change (claim 21045), several patent portfolio acquisitions (e.g., claims 21016, 21020), the termination of the Global Bit Ventures merger with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461), and new board appointments, including Michael Berg as audit committee chair and Fred Thiel as compensation committee chair (claims 15435, 15437). The company reported regaining Nasdaq listing-rule compliance in August 2018 (claim 15438). Several dated commitments are still marked not_yet_verifiable: the Nasdaq compliance deadlines (claims 15466, 15467, 15468), the promise of 2 new independent directors (claim 15465), and the 2018 10-K filing deadline (claim 16645). The cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459) is an announced intent, and the record has no capacity or output figures for it.
A. As of October 2018, Merrick Okamoto was CEO and Chairman, with 2,500,000 stock options (claims 15384, 15385). David Lieberman was CFO, with a $180,000 base salary and 200,000 options (claims 15390, 15391, 15392). Earlier in 2018 the company had an interim CEO (claim 16644), and directors resigned when the merger was terminated (claim 15476).
A. First, whether the open compliance items (claims 15466, 15467, 15468, 15465) can be closed out against later filings, given that the company itself reported regaining compliance in August 2018 (claim 15438). Second, whether the company had enough cash: it disclosed uncertainty about a 12-month runway through August 2019 (claim 15462). Third, whether the mining expansion (claim 15459) ever produced disclosed, measurable capacity. The equity incentive plan reserved 10,000,000 shares (claim 15460), so share dilution is also worth tracking.
A. Probably not. The April 2013 to February 2014 claims describe a founder named Ashish J. Thakkar, operations in 26 countries, an African presence in 19 countries, the Mara Foundation, and partnerships with UN Women and EY (claims 20897–20903, 20895, 20896). These match the unrelated Mara Group, not Marathon Patent Group. They were most likely misattributed through the shared 'MARA' name and should be excluded or re-reviewed before anyone relies on them.
A. (1) The supplied record appears cut off in October 2018, so the dossier says nothing about what happened after the pivot to crypto mining. (2) No mining scale, hashrate or revenue figures are on record. (3) The patent-era claims (claims 21013–21035) are all labeled 'stated' and none are verified, so how much licensing revenue they produced is unknown. (4) Several compliance and filing deadlines are still unverified (claims 16645, 15466, 15467, 15468). (5) The probable entity mix-up with Mara Group needs cleanup.
Frequently asked
2026-10-13A. The claims on file describe two business lives. From 2013 to about 2015 it was Marathon Patent Group, an IP-licensing company that bought patent portfolios and earned money by licensing and suing over them (name change claim 21045; business description claim 21043; litigation claim 25). By mid-2018 it had moved into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The claims provided here stop in October 2018. Nothing on file describes the later bitcoin-mining business at scale, so this FAQ cannot speak to it.
A. The latest strategy on record is 'cryptocurrency mining expansion', announced 2018-08-13 (claim 15459). It came with a 10,000,000-share 2018 equity incentive plan (claim 15460) and a disclosed doubt about whether the company had 12 months of cash runway (claim 15462). The record has no capacity, hashrate, or production targets, so the strategy is stated without measurable commitments.
A. No mining customers are named on record. From the patent era, the only named counterparties are licensees Siemens Technology (claim 21018) and Zhone (claim 21022), plus IP Navigation Group, which was a supplier rather than a customer (claim 21024). Revenue concentration and counterparties for the crypto business are undisclosed in this dossier.
A. Delivered or completed on record: patent portfolio acquisitions from Sampo, Mosaid, CyberFone, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Delphi, and TT IP (claims 21042, 21016, 21017, 21020, 21019, 21023, 21021); the start of patent revenue (claim 21014); termination of the Global Bit Ventures merger, with a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claims 15477, 15461); and regaining NASDAQ listing-rule compliance on 2018-08-21 (claim 15438). Announced without a recorded outcome: the 2-for-3 reverse split (claim 21046), exploring a sale of the real estate business (claim 21044), the NASDAQ Capital Market listing goal (claim 21037), the Opus Analytics SaaS product (claim 21010), and the mining expansion itself (claim 15459).
A. Several 2018 deadlines are marked not_yet_verifiable: the 10-K filing (claim 16645), the NASDAQ compliance plan and deadlines (claims 15466, 15467, 15468), the appointment of two independent directors (claim 15465), and the cash-runway warning (claim 15462). Some appear to have been at least partly resolved by later claims. The company said it regained compliance (claim 15438) and appointed Michael Berg and Fred Thiel to board committee roles (claims 15435, 15437). The statuses have not been updated to reflect this, so treat them as unreconciled, not as missed.
A. Yes. The 2013-04-04 and 2014 claims about Ashish and Jagdish Thakkar, the Mara Foundation, operations in 26 countries, and partnerships with UN Women and EY (claims 20897-20903, 20895, 20896) appear to describe Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate. They were likely matched on the 'MARA' name. Exclude them from any analysis of Marathon. Also, every claim here comes from automated extraction, and the list provided is truncated after claim 15386.
A. First, filings after October 2018 that turn 'mining expansion' into measurable commitments such as machine counts, hashrate, power capacity, or bitcoin produced. Second, whether the going-concern and cash-runway concern (claim 15462) was resolved, and at what dilution cost given the 10M-share plan and executive option grants (claims 15460, 15385). Third, reconciliation of the stale not_yet_verifiable statuses.
A. 1) What happened to the patent portfolio and its licensing revenue after the pivot to crypto. 2) How the mining business was financed and who its counterparties are, since none are named. 3) Whether the reverse split, the real estate disposition, and the Opus Analytics product ever happened (claims 21046, 21044, 21010). 4) The full post-2018 record, which is missing from this dossier, so any current view of the company needs data beyond what is shown here.
Frequently asked
2026-10-13A. Based on the disclosed record, the company has changed business models more than once. In 2013 it renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045) and moved into acquiring, developing and monetizing intellectual property (claims 21042, 21043). It then built a patent portfolio through purchases from Mosaid, CyberFone, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Delphi, Siemens and Zhone (claims 21016, 21017, 21019, 21020, 21023, 21031, 21035), and it earned money mainly through licensing and litigation (claims 21014, 21025). It reported no R&D spending (claim 21027). By August 2018 its filings describe a pivot to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459).
A. The most recent strategy in this dossier dates from 2018: expanding cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). That came after a planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated, with a break-up fee paid in shares, 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461; see also 15477). The record supplied here stops in late 2018, so it says nothing about the company's strategy after that. Readers should not treat the 2018 position as current without newer filings.
A. The dossier names no customers. In the patent era, the named counterparties were licensees and portfolio sellers such as Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022), plus a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim 21024). None of these are customers in the ordinary sense. A bitcoin miner's revenue comes from block rewards and fees, not named customers, so their absence is expected in that era.
A. Delivered or documented: the 2013 name change and IP pivot, a series of patent portfolio acquisitions, licensing deals with Siemens and Zhone, and the termination of the Global Bit Ventures merger. On governance, Michael Berg and Fred Thiel joined key committees (claims 15435, 15437), and Nasdaq listing-rule compliance was reported as regained on 2018-08-21 (claim 15438). Announced but not verified in this record: the 2013 aim of a NASDAQ Capital Market listing (claim 21037), the 2014 start of patent revenue (claim 21014), and the 2018 mining expansion (claim 15459), which has no capacity or output figures attached here.
A. Yes. In 2018 an interim CEO was in place (claim 16644). Directors resigned when the merger collapsed (claim 15476). There were Nasdaq deficiency deadlines for a compliance plan, new independent directors, and compensation-committee rules (claims 15466, 15465, 15467, 15468). The August 2018 filing also flagged uncertainty about whether the company had 12 months of cash (claim 15462). Several of these deadlines are marked not_yet_verifiable, meaning the dossier does not confirm how each was resolved. The one exception is the general Nasdaq compliance regained in claim 15438.
A. The October 2018 compensation disclosures give new CEO Merrick Okamoto a $350,000 base salary and options on 5,000,000 shares (claims 15388, 15389). CFO David Lieberman received $180,000 and options on 200,000 shares (claims 15391, 15392). Directors' grants ranged from 50,000 to 100,000 shares (claims 15393, 15394, 15396). The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserved 10,000,000 shares (claim 15460). Readers should weigh these numbers against the company's cash-runway warning at the time.
A. Probably not. Claims 20896–20903 describe Mara Group / Mara Foundation: Ashish and Jagdish Thakkar, operations in 26 countries and 19 African countries, and UN Women and EY partnerships. That looks like a different, Africa-based conglomerate that shares the 'Mara' name and was likely misattributed by automated extraction. The 2015 'Opus Analytics' SaaS tool (claim 21010) also needs confirmation. These claims should be excluded from any analysis of Marathon Digital until they are verified.
A. 1) The record shown ends around October 2018 and appears to be cut off. A reader needs post-2018 filings to judge the mining business: hashrate, coin production, energy costs, hosting partners, and dilution. 2) Several 2018 deadlines are still not_yet_verifiable (claims 15465, 15466, 15467, 15468, 15462, 16645), so it is unclear whether they were met on time. 3) What happened to the patent portfolio after the pivot: whether it was sold, abandoned, or still earning licensing income. 4) Claims that appear to belong to another entity should be removed (see the previous answer).
Frequently asked
2026-10-12A. The record shows the business changing over time. In February 2013 it described itself as an intellectual-property acquisition, development and monetization business (claim 21043), renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045), and explored selling its earlier real-estate business (claim 21044). By March 2014 it was buying patent portfolios and earning revenue by licensing and enforcing them. It reported no R&D spending (claim 21027). By August 2018 it was announcing an expansion into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The claims provided stop in October 2018, so this dossier does not cover the company's later operations.
A. The latest strategic claim in this record is the August 2018 push into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). That claim came alongside the termination of a planned merger with Global Bit Ventures, which carried a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claims 15477, 15461). It also came with a 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (claim 15460) and a warning about whether the company had 12 months of cash runway (claim 15462). Because the record ends in October 2018, readers should not treat this as the company's present-day strategy without newer filings.
A. No customers are named in the record. The nearest equivalents from the patent era are licensing counterparties: Siemens Technology (claim 21018) and Zhone (claim 21022). IP Navigation Group is named as a key supplier (claim 21024). For the cryptocurrency-mining business, the record names no counterparties at all.
A. Almost everything is recorded as 'stated', meaning the company said it, not that anyone independently verified it. That covers the 2014 patent acquisitions (Sampo, Mosaid, CyberFone, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, Delphi, TT IP; claims 21015-21023) and the licensing deals. One concrete outcome is stated: NASDAQ listing-rule compliance was regained in August 2018 (claim 15438), after new directors Michael Berg and Fred Thiel were appointed (claims 15435, 15437). The Global Bit Ventures merger was announced and then terminated (claim 15477).
A. As of October 2018, Merrick Okamoto was Executive Chairman and CEO (claim 15387) and David Lieberman was appointed CFO (claim 15390). Okamoto was granted 5,000,000 stock options (claim 15389). Of those, 2,500,000 vest early if the company changes control (claim 15386). Directors resigned in June 2018 (claim 15476), and an interim CEO was in place in April 2018 (claim 16644).
A. Several 2018 deadlines are marked not_yet_verifiable: the April 2018 10-K filing (claim 16645), the August 2018 compliance-plan submission (claim 15466), the January 2019 NASDAQ compliance deadline and the appointment of two independent directors (claims 15467, 15465), the June 2019 compensation-committee deadline (claim 15468), and the 12-month cash-runway concern running to August 2019 (claim 15462). Each of these should be checked against later filings.
A. Yes, two. First, claims 20896-20903 (Ashish and Jagdish Thakkar, the Mara Foundation, operations in 26 countries, UN Women and EY partnerships) appear to describe Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate, rather than Marathon Digital. They are probably an entity-matching error and should be disregarded until reviewed. Second, the claim list provided is cut off partway through October 2018, so everything after that date is missing.
A. 1) Whether the cryptocurrency-mining pivot was actually carried out, and at what scale. The record has no capacity or output figures for mining. 2) Whether the patent portfolio produced lasting revenue, since the record states licensing and litigation activity (claims 21014, 21025) but gives no amounts. 3) Whether the 2018 cash-runway warning (claim 15462) led to dilution or financing. 4) Whether the company met its NASDAQ governance deadlines. 5) What the company has disclosed since October 2018, which this dossier does not include.
Frequently asked
2026-10-12A. The record shows two different businesses. Starting in 2013 the company was a patent business. It renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045) and acquired, licensed and enforced intellectual property, buying portfolios such as Sampo IP, Mosaid, CyberFone and Delphi (claims 21042, 21016, 21017, 21023) and litigating to collect revenue (claim 21025). By mid-2018 it was moving into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The dossier's claims stop in October 2018, so they do not describe what the company does today.
A. The latest strategic claim is the August 2018 statement about expanding cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). That came alongside a 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (claim 15460) and a new leadership team, with Merrick Okamoto as Executive Chairman and CEO and David Lieberman as CFO (claims 15387, 15390). The record has no later strategy statements, so the dossier cannot tell you about mining scale, hashrate or any other metric after 2018.
A. For the patent era, the only named counterparties are licensees Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022). The record also names IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (claim 21024). For the crypto-mining era, the dossier names no customers, offtakers, hosting partners or pool operators. Readers should treat that as a gap in the record rather than evidence that none exist.
A. Several events are on record as completed. The company regained compliance with NASDAQ listing rules in August 2018 (claim 15438). It added independent directors, Michael Berg as audit chair and Fred Thiel as compensation chair (claims 15435, 15437). The planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated, with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claims 15477, 15461). Earlier items were only announced: the real-estate disposition was described as being 'explored' (claim 21044), and the Opus Analytics SaaS tool was an offering with no disclosed results (claim 21010). The patent acquisitions are recorded as stated, but the dossier contains no revenue figures for them.
A. Several 2018 promises are marked not_yet_verifiable, meaning the dossier has no evidence either way. They are: the 10-K filing due by 2018-04-15 (claim 16645); the NASDAQ compliance-plan submission due 2018-08-24 (claim 15466); appointing 2.0 new independent directors and meeting the listing-rule deadline by 2019-01-07 (claims 15465, 15467); and the compensation-committee deadline of 2019-06-28 (claim 15468). The later claim that compliance was regained (claim 15438) suggests some of these were met. They have not been formally reconciled.
A. As of August 2018, the company disclosed substantial doubt that it had enough cash to last the next 12 months, through 2019-08-13 (claim 15462). The dossier contains no revenue, cash-balance or debt figures, so a reader cannot judge financial health from this record alone. Equity grants were sizable. Okamoto's options appear as both 2,500,000 and 5,000,000 shares (claims 15385, 15389), and the conflict between those two figures should be checked against the original filing.
A. Yes, three. First, claims 20895–20903 describe a Founder Ashish J. Thakkar, Chairman Jagdish Thakkar, operations in 26 countries, a Mara Foundation in 4 African countries, and partnerships with UN Women and EY. Those appear to belong to a different company, Mara Group, and were most likely attached to MARA by mistake. Second, the claim list is cut off in October 2018, so nothing from later years is on record. Third, all claims come from automated extraction and have status 'stated', which means they have not been independently verified.
A. Readers should look for four things. First, filings after 2018 that describe the actual mining operations: scale, facilities and any named hosting or power partners. Second, whether the patent licensing and litigation business was wound down or sold. Third, formal resolution of the not_yet_verifiable 2018 deadlines (claims 15465–15468, 16645). Fourth, whether the cash-runway concern (claim 15462) was resolved through new financing. The biggest open question is how the company got from a cash-constrained patent firm in 2018 to its current business, a transition this record does not cover.
Frequently asked
2026-10-12A. The record shows three phases. It began with a real estate business that it planned to sell (21044). In 2013 it renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (21045) and became a patent acquisition and licensing company (21043). It bought patent portfolios from sellers including Sampo IP, Mosaid, CyberFone, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph and Delphi (21042, 21016, 21017, 21019, 21020, 21023), and it earned money through licensing and litigation (21014, 21025). It disclosed no R&D spending (21027). In 2015 it offered a SaaS tool called Opus Analytics (21010). By 2018 it had shifted to cryptocurrency mining (21059).
A. The most recent strategy in this dossier is the August 2018 cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459). That same filing warned there was uncertainty about having 12 months of cash runway (15462). The claims provided stop around October 2018. This dossier does not document anything after that point, so readers should not treat the 2018 strategy as the company's present-day position.
A. The only named counterparties are patent licensees: Siemens Technology (21018) and Zhone (21022). IP Navigation Group is named as a key supplier, not a customer (21024). No cryptocurrency mining customers or counterparties are named. The record also gives no revenue figures for any customer.
A. Every claim in this record is in 'stated' status, meaning it was disclosed by the company but not independently confirmed. One item is described as completed: the company says it regained compliance with NASDAQ listing rules in August 2018 (15438). It also says it appointed Michael Berg and Fred Thiel to the board (15435, 15437). The planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated rather than completed (15477). The termination included a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (15461).
A. In 2018 there were director resignations (15476) and a period without a full CEO, covered by an interim chief executive (16644). Merrick Okamoto was then named Executive Chairman and CEO (15387). He was granted large option awards: 5,000,000 options (15389), plus a separate 2,500,000-option grant whose vesting speeds up on a change of control (15385, 15386). The company also created a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserving 10,000,000 shares (15460). The record notes a 2-for-3 reverse split authorization from 2013 (21046).
A. Several 2018 deadlines are marked 'not yet verifiable.' These are: the 10-K filing due 2018-04-15 (16645), the NASDAQ compliance plan due 2018-08-24 (15466), compliance and board appointments due 2019-01-07 (15467, 15465), and compensation committee compliance due 2019-06-28 (15468). Confirming whether each was met is the first follow-up. The second is extending the dossier past 2018 to cover how the mining pivot actually played out.
A. Yes. The claims dated 2013-04-04 and early 2014 are probably about a different company, the African conglomerate Mara Group, which shares the 'Mara' name. These include founder Ashish Thakkar, chairman Jagdish Thakkar, operations in 26 countries and 19 African countries, the Mara Foundation, and the UN Women and EY partnerships (20897–20903, 20895, 20896). Readers should not attribute these claims to Marathon until they are verified.
A. First, how much revenue the patent portfolio actually produced, since no figures appear in the record. Second, whether the 2018 cash runway concern (15462) was resolved through financing that diluted existing shareholders. Third, whether the 2018 NASDAQ and governance deadlines were met. Fourth, what concrete mining assets and output followed the August 2018 expansion announcement (15459), because the record contains no figures for mining capacity or results.
Frequently asked
2026-10-11A. The record shows several different businesses over time. In February 2013 the company bought Sampo IP LLC, changed its name to Marathon Patent Group, and said it would explore selling its real estate business (claims 21042, 21045, 21044). From then until about 2015 it acquired patents and made money from them through licensing and litigation, with no in-house R&D (claims 21043, 21025, 21027). It also briefly offered a SaaS tool called Opus Analytics (claim 21010). By August 2018 it described expanding into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459), which is the business the current 'Marathon Digital' name reflects.
A. The latest claims in this dossier date from October 2018, so the record does not show a current strategy. The most recent stated direction is cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459), together with a new management team led by Merrick Okamoto as Executive Chairman and CEO (claim 15387). Anything about the company's strategy after 2018 is outside this record and should be checked against recent filings.
A. No crypto-mining customers or counterparties are named in the record. From the patent era, the only named commercial relationships are licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone, both tied to patents bought from those companies (claims 21018, 21022, 21031, 21035), and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim 21024). The 2014 partnerships with UN Women and EY (claims 20896, 20895) and the 2013 claims about operations in 26 countries and the Mara Foundation (claims 20897, 20898, 20903) appear to describe Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate, and were probably attached to this company by mistake.
A. Delivered: the 2013 name change and the 2014 patent portfolio purchases, including Intergraph, Delphi, Mosaid, CyberFone and TeleCommunication Systems (claims 21045, 21020, 21023, 21016, 21017, 21019). In 2018, two new independent directors, Michael Berg and Fred Thiel, were appointed and NASDAQ listing compliance was regained (claims 15435, 15437, 15438). Announced but not completed: the merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated, with a break-up fee paid in 3,000,000 shares (claims 15477, 15461). The 2013 plan to list on the NASDAQ Capital Market (claim 21037) and the crypto mining expansion (claim 15459) have no recorded outcome.
A. Yes. In 2018 several directors resigned, an interim CEO was in place, and the company faced NASDAQ deadlines to submit a compliance plan, add two independent directors and fix its compensation committee (claims 15476, 16644, 15466, 15465, 15468). In August 2018 it disclosed doubt about having enough cash for the next 12 months (claim 15462). It also reserved 10,000,000 shares for a 2018 equity incentive plan (claim 15460) and granted the new CEO a $350,000 salary and 5,000,000 options (claims 15388, 15389). All of these point to likely dilution for shareholders.
A. First, the dossier needs to be extended past October 2018 so it covers the company as it exists today. Second, several items are still marked not_yet_verifiable: the 10-K filing deadline, the NASDAQ compliance deadlines and the 12-month cash runway (claims 16645, 15467, 15468, 15462). Each should be confirmed against later filings. The claim that compliance was regained (claim 15438) suggests some of them were met.
A. 1. Whether the crypto mining pivot (claim 15459) produced real operations, and at what scale. The record has no hashrate, machine count or revenue figures. 2. What happened to the patent portfolio and the Siemens and Zhone licenses once the pivot began. 3. How much shareholder dilution followed the 2018 option grants and equity plan (claims 15389, 15460). 4. The data quality problem: the Mara Group claims (claims 20897-20903, 20895, 20896) should be removed from this company's file before the dossier is relied on.
Frequently asked
2026-10-11A. The record shows a company that has changed businesses more than once. In early 2013 it planned to exit real estate and become an IP acquisition, development and monetization business (claims 21043, 21044), renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (21045), and did a 2-for-3 reverse split (21046). By 2014 it was buying patent portfolios and earning licensing revenue (21013, 21014). By August 2018 its disclosed direction was cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459). The ticker and the 'Marathon Digital' name reflect that later pivot. The record supplied here ends in October 2018, so it does not document anything after that.
A. The latest strategic claim on file is a stated expansion of cryptocurrency mining (15459, Aug 2018). It gives no hash rate, machine count, or site capacity. The same filing period flagged substantial doubt about having enough cash for the next 12 months (15462). There was also a planned merger with Global Bit Ventures, which was terminated (15477); the company paid a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (15461). Management was reset in October 2018 when Merrick Okamoto became Executive Chairman and CEO (15384, 15387) and David Lieberman became CFO (15390).
A. No mining customers or offtakers are named anywhere in the record. The only named commercial counterparties come from the patent era: licensing agreements with Zhone (21022) and Siemens Technology (21018), and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (21024). These are licensees and service providers tied to the old patent business. Nothing names a customer for the current business.
A. Documented as done: the name change (21045), several patent portfolio acquisitions including Mosaid, Delphi, Intergraph, CyberFone, TeleCommunication Systems and Siemens (21016, 21023, 21020, 21017, 21019, 21031), the GBV merger termination and its 3,000,000-share fee (15461), new independent directors Michael Berg and Fred Thiel (15435, 15437), and a stated regaining of Nasdaq listing compliance (15438). Only announced or unquantified: the crypto mining expansion (15459), the 2013 goal of a Nasdaq Capital Market listing (21037), and the Opus Analytics SaaS product (21010), which has no follow-up on record. Almost every claim's status is 'stated' from automated extraction. That means the company said it; it does not mean the claim was independently confirmed.
A. Several 2018 compliance items are marked not_yet_verifiable: the 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (16645), the Nasdaq compliance plan due 2018-08-24 (15466), the Nasdaq rule compliance deadline of 2019-01-07 (15467), the appointment of 2 independent directors by 2019-01-07 (15465), and compensation committee compliance by 2019-06-28 (15468). The August 2018 compliance-regained claim (15438) probably resolves some of these, but the record does not link them explicitly. The 12-month cash runway warning, running to 2019-08-13 (15462), is also still open.
A. Yes. Claims 20895-20903 (April 2013 to February 2014) describe a business present in 19 African countries and 26 countries globally, a 'Mara Foundation', founder Ashish J. Thakkar, and partnerships with UN Women and EY. These almost certainly belong to Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate, and were attached to this company because of the similar name. They should be excluded from any analysis. Separately, some patent acquisitions appear twice under slightly different wording (21015/21028 for Sampo, 21016/21029 for Mosaid). The record is also truncated after October 2018.
A. 1) Whether the mining expansion (15459) is ever quantified with machines, hash rate, power capacity, or bitcoin produced. 2) How the 12-month going-concern risk (15462) was resolved, and at what dilution cost, given the 10,000,000-share 2018 equity plan reserve (15460) and 5,000,000 CEO options (15389). 3) Whether the Nasdaq and governance deadlines (15465-15468) were met. 4) Any named counterparties for mining hosting, power, or equipment supply.
A. First, the record does not show what became of the patent portfolio and its licensing revenue after the crypto pivot. Second, there is no evidence of actual mining output, only an expansion intent. Third, the company's ability to fund itself was openly in doubt in 2018 (15462). Fourth, the dossier stops in October 2018, so anything a reader knows about the company's later scale is not supported by these claims. Finally, the misattributed Mara Group claims need to be removed before the record can be trusted as a complete history.
Frequently asked
2026-10-11A. The record shows two businesses. In 2013 the company was a patent-monetization firm. It acquired Sampo IP LLC (claim 21042), adopted the name Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045), and described its business as acquiring, developing and monetizing IP (claim 21043). By 2014 it had bought patent portfolios from Siemens, Intergraph, Delphi, TeleCommunication Systems, Mosaid, Zhone, CyberFone and TT IP (claims 21016-21035). It enforced those patents through litigation (claim 21025) and reported no R&D spending (claim 21027). In August 2018 it disclosed a move into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459).
A. The latest strategic claim in this dossier is the 2018 cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459). A planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated in mid-2018 (claim 15477), with a break-up fee paid in shares (3,000,000 shares, claim 15461). The claims provided stop at October 2018, so this dossier does not show any later strategy.
A. No customers are named. The only named counterparties are patent sellers and licensing partners such as Siemens and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022), and a key supplier, IP Navigation Group (claim 21024). Nothing in the dossier identifies who paid for licenses, mining output, or the Opus Analytics SaaS tool announced in 2015 (claim 21010).
A. None of the claims has been independently verified. Every item is either 'stated' (the company said it) or 'not_yet_verifiable'. One governance item does carry a company-reported outcome: after directors resigned (claim 15476) and the company faced a NASDAQ compliance deadline (claim 15467), it appointed Michael Berg and Fred Thiel to committee roles (claims 15435, 15437) and said it had regained compliance with NASDAQ listing rules (claim 15438). Patent revenue 'commencement' (claim 21014) and the Opus Analytics product (claim 21010) appear only as announcements, with no follow-up showing results.
A. Yes. Claims 20895-20903 and 20896 describe Mara Group, a separate African business founded by Ashish J. Thakkar. They cover operations in 26 and 19 countries (claims 20897, 20898), the Mara Foundation, and partnerships with UN Women and EY. These appear to have been attached to Marathon because the names are similar, and they should not be treated as Marathon disclosures. The claim list provided to us was also cut off partway through the October 2018 entries, so this summary does not cover any later events.
A. In August 2018 the company flagged uncertainty about whether it had 12 months of cash runway (claim 15462). It also reserved 10,000,000 shares for a 2018 equity plan (claim 15460). In October 2018 it granted large option packages, including 5,000,000 shares to Merrick Okamoto (claim 15389), and disclosed 2.5 million unvested options that would vest early on a change of control (claim 15386). It also appointed David Lieberman as CFO at a $180,000 base salary (claims 15390, 15391). An interim CEO and a possible 10-K filing delay in 2018 (claims 16644, 16645) point to management instability.
A. First, filings after October 2018 that show whether mining actually produced revenue and capacity, not just an announced expansion. Second, whether the going-concern and runway concern in claim 15462 was resolved through financing or operations. Third, whether the overdue regulatory items in claims 15465-15468, currently marked not_yet_verifiable, can be confirmed from later NASDAQ or SEC records. Fourth, whether the misattributed Mara Group claims are removed from this dossier.
A. There are four. Did the patent portfolio ever produce meaningful licensing revenue, given that only acquisitions and litigation are on record (claims 21014, 21025)? What happened to the patent business when the company pivoted to crypto? Who, if anyone, were the customers of its products? And what has happened since 2018? This record cannot answer the last question, because the claims supplied end in October 2018.
Frequently asked
2026-10-11A. The record describes a company that has changed business several times. In early 2013 it renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045). It said it planned to sell off a real estate business (21044) and focus on acquiring, developing and monetizing intellectual property (21043). By 2018 its filings describe a pivot into cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459). The 'Marathon Digital' name reflects that later crypto identity. However, the claims shown here end in late 2018 and do not document the company's current operations.
A. The most recent strategy in this record is the 2018 move into cryptocurrency mining (15459). That move was accompanied by a planned merger with Global Bit Ventures, which was later terminated (15477) with a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (15461). The company also set up a 2018 equity incentive plan reserving 10,000,000 shares (15460). Nothing after October 2018 appears in the claims provided, so readers should not treat this as the company's present-day strategy.
A. For the crypto mining business, the record names no customers or counterparties. Named counterparties appear only from the patent era. These include licensing agreements with Siemens Technology (21018) and Zhone (21022), and patent portfolios acquired from Mosaid, TeleCommunication Systems, Delphi, Intergraph, CyberFone and others (21016, 21019, 21023, 21020, 21017). IP Navigation Group is named as a key supplier (21024).
A. Documented outcomes include several completed events. The company regained Nasdaq listing-rule compliance (15438) after a 2018 deficiency notice. Board and committee chairs were appointed (Michael Berg, 15435; Fred Thiel, 15437). Merrick Okamoto was installed as CEO and Chairman with a $350,000 base salary (15388) and 5,000,000 options (15389). The Global Bit Ventures merger was announced and then terminated rather than completed (15477). Patent-era items such as the Opus Analytics SaaS tool (21010) are recorded only as stated, with no evidence they were delivered.
A. Claims 20895–20903 concern Mara Group and Mara Foundation. That is an African conglomerate founded by Ashish J. Thakkar, operating in 26 countries (20897) and 19 African countries (20898). These claims appear to have been attached to this dossier by an entity-matching error. They should not be read as Marathon's operations, partnerships or personnel.
A. The first priority is filling the post-2018 gap in this record. That means mining capacity, hash rate, production, financing and customer or hosting relationships, all of which are absent here. Several 2018 deadlines are still marked not_yet_verifiable. These include the Nasdaq compliance plan (15466), board seats due by 2019-01-07 (15465, 15467), compensation-committee compliance due by 2019-06-28 (15468), and a 10-K filing deadline (16645). Resolving those would clarify how the 2018 turnaround played out.
A. Going-concern risk: in 2018 the company disclosed uncertainty about having 12 months of cash runway (15462), and the record does not show how this was resolved. Governance: the record shows directors resigning (15476), an interim CEO (16644) and a compliance remediation period. Data integrity: the dossier mixes in unrelated Mara Group claims and stops partway through 2018, so it cannot yet support conclusions about the company as it exists today.
Frequently asked
2026-10-10A. On the record shown here, the company has had two lives. It began as a patent-licensing business: in February 2013 it described an IP acquisition, development and monetization business (claim 21043), took the name Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045), and explored selling a real estate business (claim 21044). By August 2018 its filings describe cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459). Its 2014 disclosures say it had no research and development spending (claim 21027), so it bought patents rather than invented them.
A. The latest claims on record (mid-to-late 2018) point to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459), a governance reset, and a new leader. Merrick Okamoto was appointed Executive Chairman and CEO with a $350,000 base salary (claim 15388) and 5,000,000 stock options (claim 15389). A planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated, with a break-up fee paid in shares: 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). This dossier has no claims after October 2018, so it cannot describe the company's strategy today.
A. None are named. The patent-era claims name counterparties, but these are patent sellers and licensing partners, not customers: Siemens Technology (claim 21018), Zhone (claim 21022), Mosaid, CyberFone, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Delphi and TT IP (claims 21016-21023), plus IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (claim 21024). The 2015 Opus Analytics software product (claim 21010) has no disclosed buyers, and no mining customers or pool partners are named.
A. No claim in this record has been independently verified as delivered. Every item is either 'stated', meaning the company said it, or 'not_yet_verifiable'. The strongest company assertion is that it regained compliance with Nasdaq listing rules in August 2018 (claim 15438), after deadlines to submit a compliance plan and to add two independent directors (claims 15466, 15465). Board appointments of Michael Berg and Fred Thiel followed (claims 15435, 15437). Patent revenue was said to have begun (claim 21014), but the record attaches no amount to it.
A. Fragile. In August 2018 the company disclosed uncertainty about whether it had enough cash for the next 12 months (claim 15462), which is a going-concern-style warning. It also reserved 10,000,000 shares for a 2018 equity incentive plan (claim 15460), which signals possible dilution for existing shareholders. In 2018 there were also an interim CEO (claim 16644), director resignations (claim 15476) and a delayed-filing flag on the 10-K (claim 16645).
A. Probably not. The April 2013 and 2014 claims describe a business presence in 19 African countries (claim 20898), operations in 26 countries (claim 20897), the Mara Foundation (claim 20903), founder Ashish Thakkar, and partnerships with UN Women and EY. These appear to describe the unrelated Mara Group, likely matched by name during automated extraction. Readers should exclude claims 20895-20903 until they are reviewed.
A. First, the dossier needs updating with filings after October 2018. Within the existing record, the key checks are whether the company's statement that it regained Nasdaq compliance (claim 15438) holds up against later Nasdaq notices, and whether the 12-month cash-runway concern (claim 15462) was resolved without heavy dilution. Also watch for any disclosed mining capacity, hashrate or bitcoin production figures that would replace 'expansion' language (claim 15459) with measurable output.
A. (1) How much revenue did the patent portfolio ever produce? None is quantified on record (claim 21014). (2) What happened to the patent assets after the pivot to crypto? (3) Why was the Global Bit Ventures deal terminated, and how much did the share-based fee cost shareholders (claim 15461)? (4) Did the company meet its 2018-2019 Nasdaq deadlines (claims 15467, 15468)? These remain not_yet_verifiable. (5) Which of the earlier claims are about a different 'Mara' entity entirely?
Frequently asked
2026-10-10A. The company in this dossier has changed business models over time. In February 2013 it renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045) and described itself as an IP acquisition, development and monetization business (claim 21043). It bought patent portfolios from sellers including Sampo IP, Mosaid, CyberFone, Delphi, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Siemens and Zhone, and enforced them through litigation (claim 21025). It reported no R&D spending (claim 21027). By August 2018 its filings pointed to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459), which is the business behind the current 'Marathon Digital' name. The record shown here stops in late 2018, so it does not document the mining business at scale.
A. The latest strategy in this record is the August 2018 move to expand cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). Around the same time it ended a planned merger with Global Bit Ventures, paying a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). It also flagged uncertainty about having enough cash for the next 12 months (claim 15462). The dossier holds nothing more recent, so it cannot describe the strategy as of 2026. Readers should check filings after 2018 before calling anything 'current'.
A. No customers are named. In the patent era, the named counterparties are patent sellers and licensing partners, such as the licensing agreements with Siemens Technology (claim 21018) and Zhone (claim 21022), plus a key supplier, IP Navigation Group (claim 21024). None of these are buyers of a product. In mining, output is sold into crypto markets rather than to named customers, and this record names no buyers or hosting partners.
A. Very little has been independently checked. Almost every claim is marked 'stated', meaning the company said it, not that it was confirmed. That covers the patent acquisitions, the start of patent revenue (claim 21014), and the mining expansion (claim 15459). Several 2018 commitments are marked 'not_yet_verifiable': - Nasdaq compliance deadlines (claims 15466, 15467, 15468) - Appointing 2 new independent directors (claim 15465) - The 10-K filing deadline (claim 16645) The company did state in August 2018 that it had regained Nasdaq listing compliance (claim 15438). It also named new directors Michael Berg (claim 15435) and Fred Thiel (claim 15437), which partly answers the board commitments.
A. In October 2018 the record shows Merrick Okamoto with a $350,000 base salary and 5,000,000 stock options (claims 15388, 15389). David Lieberman became CFO at a $180,000 salary with 200,000 options (claims 15390, 15391, 15392). Fred Thiel joined the board as Compensation Committee chairman (claim 15437) and later became the company's long-time CEO, though that later role falls outside this record. Earlier in 2018 there was an interim CEO (claim 16644), and several directors resigned (claim 15476).
A. Yes, and readers should treat them with caution. Claims dated 2013-04-04 and early 2014 describe a group with operations in 26 countries, 19 of them in Africa (claims 20897, 20898). They also cover a 'Mara Foundation' active in 4 African countries (claim 20903), founder Ashish J. Thakkar and chairman Jagdish Thakkar (claims 20899, 20900), and partnerships with UN Women and EY (claims 20896, 20895). These appear to describe Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate, rather than Marathon Patent Group or Marathon Digital. They are probably an entity-matching error and should not be counted as this company's history.
A. 1. Whether the 2018 Nasdaq and board-composition deadlines were met, which would move claims 15465–15468 from 'not_yet_verifiable' to a confirmed outcome. 2. Whether the cash-runway concern (claim 15462) was resolved through financing or dilution. The 10,000,000-share equity plan (claim 15460) is one source of dilution to track. 3. Post-2018 disclosures on mining capacity, hashrate, power contracts and bitcoin holdings. None of these appear in this record.
A. 1. The record is incomplete. It appears truncated around late 2018 and has nothing on the bitcoin-mining business that defines the company today. 2. Almost nothing has moved past 'stated', so the patent purchases, licensing revenue and the mining pivot are all unverified here. 3. Some 2013–2014 claims appear to belong to a different company (Mara Group) and need to be removed. 4. There is no disclosure of how much revenue the patent portfolios actually produced, or why that model was abandoned.
Frequently asked
2026-10-10A. Based on the claims on record, Marathon has been two different businesses. Starting in February 2013 it became a patent company: it changed its name to Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045), bought Sampo IP LLC (claim 21042), and described itself as an IP acquisition, development and monetization business (claim 21043). In practice that meant buying patent portfolios and earning money from licensing and enforcement litigation, not building products. The company reported no R&D spending (claims 21027, 21025). In 2018 it disclosed a move into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459), which is the business the MARA ticker is now associated with.
A. The most recent strategic claim on record is the August 2018 disclosure of cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459). That came after a planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated (claims 15477, 15461). The dossier provided here stops in October 2018, so it does not cover the company's later mining scale, hashrate targets, or bitcoin holdings. Readers should check newer filings before describing the strategy today.
A. No customers are named on record. In the patent era, the disclosed counterparties were patent sellers and licensing partners rather than paying customers. These include licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022), portfolio acquisitions from Mosaid, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Delphi, CyberFone and others (claims 21016, 21020, 21019, 21023, 21017), and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim 21024). A 2015 SaaS tool, Opus Analytics, was announced (claim 21010) but no users or revenue for it are on record. For crypto mining, the buyer is effectively the network, so named customers would not be expected.
A. Recorded as completed: the 2013 name change and Sampo acquisition (claims 21045, 21042), a run of 2014 patent portfolio acquisitions (claims 21015-21035), the start of patent revenue (claim 21014), regaining NASDAQ listing-rule compliance on 2018-08-21 (claim 15438), and board and CFO appointments, including David Lieberman at a $180,000 base salary (claims 15435, 15437, 15390, 15391). Announced but unconfirmed in the record: the 2013 plan to explore selling the real estate business (claim 21044), the 2013 goal of a NASDAQ Capital Market listing (claim 21037), the Opus Analytics product (claim 21010), and the scale of the crypto mining expansion (claim 15459). The Global Bit Ventures merger was announced and then terminated, with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461).
A. Yes, in 2018. Directors resigned (claim 15476), and the company was out of NASDAQ compliance. It faced deadlines to submit a compliance plan by 2018-08-24 (claim 15466), add two independent directors by 2019-01-07 (claim 15465), and fix its compensation committee by 2019-06-28 (claim 15468). It disclosed uncertainty about having enough cash for the next 12 months (claim 15462). An interim CEO was in place in April 2018 (claim 16644). There was also meaningful equity dilution: a 10,000,000-share equity incentive plan (claim 15460), 2,500,000 CEO options with change-of-control acceleration (claims 15385, 15386), and 5,000,000 options tied to Merrick Okamoto (claim 15389).
A. Several 2018 deadlines are still marked not_yet_verifiable: the 10-K filing due 2018-04-15 (claim 16645), the compliance plan (claim 15466), the two independent directors (claim 15465), the compensation committee deadline (claim 15468), and the 12-month runway window (claim 15462). Resolving these against later filings is the first diligence step. Beyond that, the dossier needs post-2018 claims on mining capacity, energy sourcing, and financing so that the current business can be judged on delivered versus promised results.
A. (1) The coverage gap: nothing on record after October 2018, which misses the company's entire scale-up as a bitcoin miner. (2) Possible entity confusion: claims 20895-20903 describe Mara Group or Mara Foundation, an Africa-focused conglomerate founded by Ashish Thakkar with operations in 26 countries (claim 20897) and partnerships with UN Women and EY (claims 20896, 20895). These do not appear to relate to Marathon Patent Group and should be treated as likely misattributed until checked. (3) Duplicate records: several acquisitions appear twice, such as Sampo (claims 21042, 21015, 21028), Mosaid (claims 21016, 21029), Siemens and Zhone. (4) Some 2013-2014 claims lack figures, such as employee count (claim 21026) and portfolio composition (claim 21013).
Frequently asked
2026-10-10A. The records describe two different businesses. From 2013, the company was Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045), which bought patents and earned money by licensing them and suing alleged infringers (claims 21043, 21025). It bought portfolios from sellers including Siemens, Delphi, Intergraph, Zhone and Mosaid (claims 21031, 21023, 21020, 21035, 21016) and reported no R&D spending (claim 21027). By August 2018 its disclosed focus had moved to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The excerpt ends in October 2018, so anything later is not covered here.
A. The latest strategic claim on record is a 2018 plan to expand cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). That pivot came with a new leadership team: Merrick Okamoto became CEO and Executive Chairman with a $350,000 base salary and 5,000,000 stock options (claims 15384, 15388, 15389), and David Lieberman became CFO at $180,000 (claims 15390, 15391). A planned merger with mining firm Global Bit Ventures was terminated, with a break-up fee paid in 3,000,000 shares (claims 15477, 15461). There is no post-2018 strategy in this record set.
A. In the patent era, the named counterparties were licensees, not customers in the usual sense: Zhone and Siemens Technology (claims 21022, 21018). IP Navigation Group was named as a key supplier (claim 21024), and in 2015 a SaaS product called Opus Analytics was announced (claim 21010) with no customers named. For the mining business, no customers or counterparties are named at all. A miner sells or holds the coins it produces, so expect no traditional customer list.
A. Very little has been independently verified. Nearly every claim has the status 'stated', meaning it was extracted from a company disclosure and has not been confirmed. One milestone is reported as done: the company regained Nasdaq listing compliance in August 2018 (claim 15438), after appointing directors Michael Berg and Fred Thiel (claims 15435, 15437). Even that is still the company's own statement. Several deadlines from 2018–2019 are marked 'not_yet_verifiable' even though they passed years ago (claims 15465, 15466, 15467, 15468, 16645). Those are evidence gaps, not confirmed outcomes.
A. Yes. In August 2018 the company disclosed uncertainty about whether it had enough cash to fund the next 12 months (claim 15462). It faced several Nasdaq compliance deadlines (claims 15466, 15467, 15468). Its 10-K annual report deadline was at one point flagged as delayed (claim 16645). Directors resigned when the Global Bit Ventures deal collapsed (claim 15476). The company also reserved 10,000,000 shares for a new equity incentive plan (claim 15460), which can dilute existing shareholders.
A. Probably not. The 2013-04-04 claims describe operations in 26 countries, 19 African countries, a 'Mara Foundation', founder Ashish J. Thakkar and chairman Jagdish Thakkar (claims 20897–20903). The 2014 UN Women and EY partnerships (claims 20896, 20895) seem to fit the same profile. These details match the unrelated Mara Group conglomerate, not Marathon Patent Group, and look like a name-matching error in automated extraction. Treat them as suspect until someone checks the source documents.
A. 1. Records after October 2018. The excerpt ends mid-record, so the dossier needs to be extended to cover the company's actual mining operations, hashrate, coin holdings and financing. 2. Resolution of the long-overdue 'not_yet_verifiable' compliance deadlines (claims 15465–15468, 16645). 3. Whether the mining expansion (claim 15459) shows up later in verified production or revenue figures. 4. Cleanup of the apparently misattributed Mara Group claims.
A. 1. Did the crypto-mining pivot actually work, and on what scale? Nothing after 2018 is on record here. 2. What happened to the patent portfolios and the licensing income after the pivot (claims 21013, 21014)? 3. How much dilution resulted from the equity plan, the CEO option grants and the share-based break-up fee (claims 15460, 15389, 15461)? 4. Was the 2018 cash-runway concern (claim 15462) resolved, and how was the business funded? 5. Which records belong to a different company entirely?
Frequently asked
2026-10-10A. The company has changed businesses at least twice. In February 2013 it renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045) and moved into acquiring, developing and monetizing patents (claim 21043), starting with the Sampo IP acquisition (claim 21042) and exploring a sale of its earlier real estate business (claim 21044). By August 2018 it disclosed a move into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The current 'Marathon Digital' name and bitcoin-mining identity come after the patent era, but the claims on record here largely stop in late 2018.
A. The most recent strategic claim in this record is cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459, August 2018). That came alongside the termination of a planned merger with Global Bit Ventures, which was settled with a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claims 15477, 15461). The dossier contains no claims about the company's present mining fleet, hash rate, energy sites or bitcoin holdings, so a reader cannot judge the current strategy from this record.
A. None are named. In the patent era, revenue came from licensing and enforcing patents rather than from customers in the usual sense (claims 21014, 21025). Siemens and Zhone appear as licensing counterparties and patent sources (claims 21018, 21022, 21031, 21035), and IP Navigation Group is listed as a key supplier (claim 21024). For the mining business, output is sold into the market, and the record identifies no counterparties at all.
A. Nearly every claim has the status 'stated.' That means the company said it, not that anyone independently confirmed delivery. The patent acquisitions (CyberFone, Delphi, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, Mosaid, TT IP; claims 21016-21023) and the board appointments that restored NASDAQ compliance in August 2018 (claims 15435, 15437, 15438) read as completed events. Several 2018 deadlines are still marked 'not_yet_verifiable' and have no recorded outcome. These include the 10-K filing (claim 16645), the NASDAQ compliance plan and its deadlines (claims 15466, 15467, 15468), and the appointment of two independent directors (claim 15465).
A. Yes, and readers should be careful here. The April 2013 and early 2014 claims describe Ashish and Jagdish Thakkar, operations in 26 countries, an African presence in 19 countries, the Mara Foundation, and partnerships with UN Women and EY (claims 20895-20903). These appear to describe Mara Group, an unrelated Africa-focused conglomerate, and were likely misattributed because of the similar name. They should not be read as Marathon's footprint or partnerships.
A. In October 2018 Merrick Okamoto became Executive Chairman and CEO (claim 15387) with a $350,000 base salary (claim 15388). The record gives two different option counts for him: 2.5 million options (claim 15385), of which 2.5 million unvested options accelerate on a change of control (claim 15386), and 5,000,000 options (claim 15389). These may be the same grant counted differently, or two separate grants; check the source filing. The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserved 10,000,000 shares (claim 15460). In August 2018 the company also flagged uncertainty about having 12 months of cash runway (claim 15462).
A. First, whether the open 2018 items are ever resolved in the record: the 10-K timeliness (claim 16645), the cash-runway warning (claim 15462), and the NASDAQ committee compliance (claim 15468). Second, whether claims from 2019 onward are added. Those would cover the mining build-out, site and hosting deals, capital raises and bitcoin holdings, which this dossier currently lacks.
A. 1) Coverage. The record ends around October 2018 and says almost nothing about the bitcoin-mining company MARA is known as today. 2) Data quality. A cluster of claims appears to belong to Mara Group, and the CEO option figures conflict (claims 15385, 15389). 3) Verification. Almost nothing has moved beyond 'stated,' so delivery against stated plans is largely unconfirmed. 4) Dilution and runway. The going-concern-style cash warning (claim 15462) and large equity reserves (claim 15460) raise questions about how operations were funded.
Frequently asked
2026-10-10A. The record shows two phases. In 2013 the company renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045) and became a patent business: it bought patent portfolios and earned money by licensing them and suing alleged infringers (claims 21043, 21013, 21025). It reported no research and development spending (claim 21027). In 2018 it began moving into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The company's later identity as a large bitcoin miner is not covered by the claims in this dossier, which stop in late 2018.
A. The newest strategy on record is the 2018 move into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). There are no claims dated after October 2018, so the dossier says nothing about the company's present strategy, scale, or plans. Readers should not treat the 2018 record as current.
A. No mining customers are named. The patent era names counterparties, including licensing agreements with Zhone and Siemens Technology (claims 21022, 21018), portfolios bought from Mosaid, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Delphi, and CyberFone (claims 21016, 21020, 21019, 21023, 21017), and IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (claim 21024). The extracted claims do not say how much revenue any of these produced.
A. Much of what was announced did not happen. The planned merger with Global Bit Ventures, which was meant to anchor the mining pivot, was terminated (claim 15477), and the termination came with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). NASDAQ listing compliance was reported as regained in August 2018 (claim 15438). Leadership changes are recorded: Merrick Okamoto became Executive Chairman and CEO at a $350,000 base salary (claim 15388) with 5,000,000 stock options (claim 15389). Every claim is still marked 'stated' or 'not_yet_verifiable'. None has been independently confirmed as delivered.
A. Yes. In 2018 the company disclosed doubt about whether it had enough cash for the next 12 months (claim 15462). Directors resigned (claim 15476). It also faced NASDAQ board-composition and compensation-committee deadlines (claims 15465, 15467, 15468), and a 10-K annual report filing deadline appears with an earlier 'delayed' status (claim 16645). A 10,000,000-share equity incentive plan was set up in the same period (claim 15460), which could dilute existing shareholders.
A. Probably not. The April 2013 and early 2014 claims about Ashish Thakkar, Jagdish Thakkar, operations in 26 countries, an African presence in 19 countries, the Mara Foundation, and partnerships with UN Women and EY (claims 20897–20903, 20895, 20896) appear to describe Mara Group, a separate African conglomerate. Automated extraction likely confused the two because of the shared 'Mara' name. These claims should be excluded or flagged.
A. First, fill in the record after 2018: mining capacity, hashrate, bitcoin holdings, and financing. Second, resolve the 'not_yet_verifiable' items on NASDAQ compliance and filing deadlines (claims 15465–15468, 16645) against actual filings. Third, check whether the 2018 cash-runway warning (claim 15462) was resolved through capital raises and how much dilution followed.
A. (1) The dossier stops in 2018, so it cannot describe the company today. (2) Some claims appear to belong to an unrelated company (Mara Group). (3) Every claim comes from automated extraction and none is verified as delivered. (4) No revenue or licensing-income figures were extracted for the patent business. (5) No mining customers, counterparties, or production metrics are on record.
Frequently asked
2026-10-10A. The dossier shows several different businesses over time. In February 2013 it renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045), acquired Sampo IP LLC (claim 21042), and announced a patent acquisition and monetization business (claim 21043). It was also exploring selling a real estate business (claim 21044). From 2013 to 2015 it built a patent portfolio bought from Siemens, Zhone, Mosaid, Delphi, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, CyberFone and others (claims 21016-21035), and offered an 'Opus Analytics' SaaS tool (claim 21010). By August 2018 it described a cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459). That is the origin of the later Marathon Digital name.
A. The latest strategic claim in this record is the 2018 move into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). That move came after a planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated, with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claims 15477, 15461). The record we received stops partway through October 2018 (it cuts off at claim 15388). This FAQ therefore cannot describe the company's strategy after 2018, including its later scale as a bitcoin miner. Treat this answer as historical, not current.
A. No customers are named in this record. The counterparties that do appear are patent sellers or licensors, such as the licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022), and one key supplier, IP Navigation Group (claim 21024). Revenue from patents is said to have begun (claim 21014), but no amounts or paying licensees are disclosed here. For the mining period, no customers, pools or hosting partners are named.
A. Nothing in this record has been independently confirmed. Every claim is either 'stated' (the company said it) or 'not_yet_verifiable'. No claim is marked delivered or verified. Board appointments are the claims closest to concrete events: Michael Berg as audit chair and Fred Thiel as compensation chair (claims 15435, 15437), and Merrick Okamoto as CEO and Chairman with 5,000,000 stock options (claims 15384, 15389). The company also stated it had regained compliance with NASDAQ listing rules in August 2018 (claim 15438), but that is the company's own statement, not an outside confirmation.
A. Yes. In 2018 the company faced several NASDAQ compliance deadlines: a compliance plan due 2018-08-24, board composition fixes due 2019-01-07 including two new independent directors, and compensation committee compliance due 2019-06-28 (claims 15466, 15467, 15465, 15468). Directors resigned in June 2018 (claim 15476), and an interim CEO was in place in April 2018 (claim 16644). The company also disclosed doubt about whether it had enough cash for the next 12 months (claim 15462). Its 10-K filing due 2018-04-15 was at one point marked delayed (claim 16645). All of these are now marked not_yet_verifiable.
A. Probably not. Claims 20895-20903 and 21037 describe operations in 19 African countries and 26 countries worldwide, the Mara Foundation, and executives Ashish and Jagdish Thakkar (claims 20897-20903). They also describe partnerships with UN Women and EY (claims 20895, 20896). These details match Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate, and were most likely attached to Marathon by mistake because of the shared 'MARA' name. Readers should ignore them until they are reviewed.
A. First, whether the records after 2018 (the cut-off ends at claim 15388) show the mining strategy in practice: hashrate, machine deliveries, named hosting sites or partners. Second, whether the not_yet_verifiable NASDAQ and 10-K deadlines (claims 15465-15468, 16645) can be confirmed against filings. Third, whether the 12-month cash concern (claim 15462) was resolved. Fourth, whether the misattributed Mara Group claims are removed.
A. 1) What the company does today and how much of its later strategy has been delivered, since this record stops in 2018. 2) Whether the patent business produced meaningful revenue: the start of revenue is stated (claim 21014), but no figures appear. 3) Why the Global Bit Ventures merger collapsed (claims 15477, 15461). 4) How reliable the dossier is overall, given the apparent Mara Group contamination and the lack of any independently verified claim.
Frequently asked
2026-10-09A. The record shows a company that has changed businesses several times. In February 2013 it announced it was moving into acquiring and monetizing intellectual property (claim 21043), renaming itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045) and exploring a sale of its real estate business (claim 21044). By March 2014 it was buying patent portfolios and earning revenue by licensing and enforcing them through litigation (claims 21014, 21025). It also reported no research and development spending (claim 21027). By August 2018 it had shifted again and was describing an expansion into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The record contains nothing after October 2018. It therefore does not document the company's later identity as 'Marathon Digital' or its current scale.
A. The dossier cannot say. The most recent strategic claim is the August 2018 statement about expanding cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). Nothing on file is dated after October 2018. Any description of today's strategy, such as mining capacity, hashrate, or treasury policy, would come from outside this record. Treat the dossier as historical background, not a current profile.
A. None are named. Under the patent model, the record names counterparties rather than customers. These include patent sellers such as Delphi, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, Mosaid, CyberFone and Sampo (claims 21015-21023, 21029), licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022), and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim 21024). It also mentions an Opus Analytics SaaS tool from 2015 (claim 21010), but names no buyers. For the mining business, the record names no customers, hosts or offtakers.
A. Almost nothing in the record has been independently verified. Every claim carries status 'stated' or 'not_yet_verifiable', and none is marked as delivered or confirmed. The closest thing to a reported outcome is the company's own statement that it regained compliance with NASDAQ listing rules in August 2018 (claim 15438). That followed the appointment of new directors (claims 15435, 15437). One planned deal is recorded as abandoned: the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated in June 2018 (claim 15477), with a break-up fee paid in shares (3,000,000 shares, claim 15461).
A. In October 2018 Merrick Okamoto was appointed Executive Chairman and CEO (claims 15384, 15387). The role came with a $350,000 base salary (claim 15388) and 5,000,000 stock options (claim 15389), of which 2,500,000 vest early on a change of control (claim 15386). Before that, the company had an interim CEO (claim 16644) and several director resignations in June 2018 (claim 15476). Fred Thiel joined the board in 2018 and chaired the compensation committee (claims 15437, 15396). The record does not cover any later leadership changes.
A. Yes, and they matter. Claims 20895-20903 and 20896 appear to describe a different organization, Mara Group and the Mara Foundation. These include Ashish and Jagdish Thakkar as founder and chairman, operations in 26 countries (claim 20897) and in 19 African countries (claim 20898), and partnerships with UN Women and EY. None of this connects to Marathon Patent Group's filings, so it looks like a name-match error in automated extraction. Separately, all claims were extracted automatically and only tagged in September-October 2026, so none has been checked by a human reviewer.
A. First, any filings after 2018 that bring the dossier up to date on the mining business: capacity, hosting arrangements, financing and counterparties. Second, follow-up on the 2018 regulatory items still marked not_yet_verifiable, despite deadlines that have long passed. These are the 10-K filing (claim 16645), the NASDAQ compliance plan and deadlines (claims 15466, 15467, 15468), and the two-director appointment (claim 15465). Third, whether the 12-month cash-runway uncertainty flagged in 2018 (claim 15462) was ever resolved.
A. 1. What the company is today. The record stops in 2018, partway through its pivot to crypto mining. 2. Whether any of the patent-era acquisitions and licenses actually produced lasting revenue. Nothing on file quantifies it. 3. How much dilution the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (10,000,000 shares, claim 15460) and the executive option grants caused. 4. Whether the 2018 going-concern-style runway warning (claim 15462) led to restructuring or new financing. 5. Cleaning up the misattributed Mara Group claims, so that readers do not mistake them for this company's footprint.
Frequently asked
2026-10-09A. The record shows two distinct businesses. From 2013 it was a patent-monetization company: it renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045), described an IP acquisition, development and monetization model (claim 21043), and stated it had no R&D spending (claim 21027). By August 2018 it had stated a move into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The claims shown here end in October 2018, so this record does not describe what the company does today.
A. It bought patent portfolios and earned money by licensing them and suing for infringement. The record lists acquisitions from Mosaid (claim 21016), CyberFone Systems (claim 21017), TeleCommunication Systems (claim 21019), Intergraph (claim 21020), TT IP (claim 21021) and Delphi Technologies (claim 21023), plus enforcement litigation (claim 21025). In 2015 it also stated a SaaS product, Opus Analytics (claim 21010). The record does not track what any of these produced.
A. No mining customers are named anywhere in the record. For the patent era, the only named counterparties are licensing agreements with Siemens Technology (claim 21018) and Zhone (claim 21022). The record also says Marathon acquired patent portfolios from both companies (claims 21031, 21035), so these may be the sellers of the patents rather than paying licensees. IP Navigation Group is listed as a key supplier, not a customer (claim 21024).
A. It was turbulent. A planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated (claim 15477), with a stated break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). Directors resigned (claim 15476). The company faced NASDAQ listing-compliance deadlines (claims 15466, 15467, 15468) and later stated it had regained compliance (claim 15438). It also disclosed uncertainty about having 12 months of cash (claim 15462). In October 2018, Merrick Okamoto became Executive Chairman and CEO (claim 15387) on a $350,000 salary with 5,000,000 options (claims 15388, 15389), and David Lieberman became CFO at $180,000 (claims 15390, 15391).
A. Nothing in this record has been independently confirmed as delivered. Nearly every claim is marked 'stated', which means the company said it and it was extracted from a filing, not that anyone checked the result. The 2018 deadline-based claims, such as appointing two independent directors by 2019-01-07 (claim 15465) and filing the 10-K by 2018-04-15 (claim 16645), are all marked 'not_yet_verifiable'. Patent revenue commencement (claim 21014) and the crypto mining expansion (claim 15459) are claims, not measured outcomes.
A. Yes. Claims 20895–20903 and 20896 describe an Africa-focused group: operations in 19 African and 26 total countries, founder Ashish J. Thakkar, the Mara Foundation, and UN Women and EY partnerships. These almost certainly belong to the unrelated Mara Group and were attached to MARA by mistake, likely because the names are similar. Do not use them to describe this company. Also, the claim list is cut off after October 2018, so the company's later history is missing from this view.
A. First, filings after 2018 need to be added so the record reflects the company's current strategy. Second, the open 2018 deadline claims (15465, 15466, 15467, 15468, 16645) should be resolved against later filings. Third, look for any named mining customers, counterparties or capacity figures, which this record does not contain.
A. 1) What the company's current strategy is, since this record stops in late 2018. 2) Whether the patent portfolios ever produced meaningful revenue, which the record does not show. 3) How the 2018 cash-runway concern (claim 15462) was resolved, and how much dilution came from equity awards such as the 10,000,000-share incentive plan (claim 15460). 4) Whether the Global Bit Ventures break-up shares (claim 15461) were actually issued.
Frequently asked
2026-10-09A. The disclosed record covers two phases. In 2013 the company renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045) and announced that it would buy, develop and monetize intellectual property (claim 21043). It also said it was exploring selling its real estate business (claim 21044). By 2014 it was acquiring patent portfolios from Sampo, Mosaid, CyberFone, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Delphi, Siemens and Zhone, among others (claims 21015-21035), and enforcing them through litigation (claim 21025). It reported no R&D spending (claim 21027). In 2018 it disclosed an expansion into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The record on file ends in October 2018. It does not describe the company's current operations or scale.
A. The latest strategic claim on file is the August 2018 move into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The same filing warned that the company was not sure it had 12 months of cash (claim 15462). The dossier has no claims after October 2018. Anything you read elsewhere about hashrate, mining fleet size or bitcoin holdings is not backed by this record.
A. No customers are named. The patent-era filings mention licensing agreements with Siemens Technology (claim 21018) and Zhone (claim 21022). These look tied to portfolio acquisitions from those firms rather than to ordinary sales. IP Navigation Group is described as a key supplier (claim 21024). There is also a 2015 claim about an 'Opus Analytics' SaaS tool (claim 21010), but no buyers are identified. For the mining business, no counterparties are named.
A. Very little has been independently verified. Every claim on file is either 'stated', meaning the company said it, or 'not_yet_verifiable'. None is marked as delivered. A few corporate events are reported as completed: - The company said it regained compliance with NASDAQ listing rules in August 2018 (claim 15438). - The Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated, with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claims 15477, 15461). - Merrick Okamoto was appointed Executive Chairman and CEO at a $350,000 base salary (claims 15387, 15388), with 5,000,000 stock options (claim 15389). - A 2018 equity plan reserved 10,000,000 shares (claim 15460). Several 2018 deadlines remain unconfirmed. These include the NASDAQ compliance plan (claim 15466), listing-rule compliance by 2019-01-07 (claim 15467), compensation committee compliance (claim 15468) and two new independent directors (claim 15465).
A. This is most likely a data-matching error. The April 2013 and early 2014 claims describe the Mara Foundation, operations in 26 countries, an African presence in 19 countries, and executives Ashish and Jagdish Thakkar (claims 20897-20903). The UN Women and EY partnerships (claims 20896, 20895) belong to the same group. All of these appear to describe Mara Group, an unrelated African company that shares the 'Mara' name. Readers should not count them as Marathon's facts until the attribution is corrected.
A. First, any filings after 2018 that show what the mining business actually achieved: equipment owned, hosting arrangements, revenue, and named counterparties. Second, confirmation that the 2018-2019 NASDAQ governance deadlines were met (claims 15465-15468). Third, whether the cash-runway concern (claim 15462) was resolved through financing, which would likely mean dilution given the 10,000,000-share plan reserve (claim 15460). Finally, check for a correction removing the misattributed Mara Group claims.
A. 1. The record stops in 2018. There is nothing on file about the business the company is known for today. 2. No claim has been confirmed as delivered. Several regulatory deadlines are still not verifiable. 3. The patent business ran on acquisition and litigation, and the record does not show how it was wound down or what it earned. 4. Going-concern-style cash risk was disclosed in 2018 (claim 15462). 5. Leadership changed heavily in 2018, with directors resigning (claim 15476), an interim CEO (claim 16644) and a new CEO (claim 15387). The 2018 10-K filing deadline also remains unverified (claim 16645).
Frequently asked
2026-10-09A. The record traces three phases. In February 2013 it renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045), acquired Sampo IP LLC (claim 21042), and declared an IP acquisition, development and monetization business (claim 21043) while exploring the sale of its real-estate business (claim 21044). Through 2014 it bought patent portfolios originating from Mosaid, Siemens Technology, Zhone, CyberFone, TeleCommunication Systems, Delphi, Intergraph and TT IP (claims 21016-21035), and reported patent enforcement litigation (claim 21025). In 2015 it described a SaaS tool, Opus Analytics (claim 21010). By August 2018 it had pivoted to cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459). The claims on file stop in October 2018, so they do not document the company's later operations.
A. The most recent strategic statement on file is the August 2018 plan to expand cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). That plan came alongside the termination of the Global Bit Ventures merger (claims 15477, 15461). In October 2018 the company named a new leadership team: Merrick Okamoto as Executive Chairman and CEO (claim 15387) and David Lieberman as CFO (claim 15390). No claims dated after mid-October 2018 are in this excerpt, so the dossier cannot describe the company's present-day strategy.
A. No customers are named. The closest items are 2014 'licensing agreements' with Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022), which appear to be the sources of acquired patents rather than paying licensees. There is also a 'key supplier' relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim 21024). The company reported patent revenue starting in 2014 (claim 21014), but no claim says who paid it, and no mining-era customer or counterparty is named.
A. None of the claims has been independently verified as delivered. Every item is either 'stated' (the company said it) or 'not_yet_verifiable'. Specific figures are all as reported by the company: a 10,000,000-share 2018 equity incentive plan reserve (claim 15460), a 3,000,000-share break-up fee for the Global Bit Ventures termination (claim 15461), 5,000,000 CEO stock options (claim 15389), and a $180,000 CFO base salary (claim 15391). The company said it regained Nasdaq listing compliance on 2018-08-21 (claim 15438). However, the related deadlines, including appointing 2 new independent directors (claim 15465), the compliance plan due 2018-08-24 (claim 15466), the Nasdaq rule deadline of 2019-01-07 (claim 15467), and the compensation committee deadline of 2019-06-28 (claim 15468), remain marked not_yet_verifiable.
A. Yes. In August 2018 the company disclosed uncertainty about whether it had enough cash for the next 12 months (claim 15462). In the same period it terminated the Global Bit Ventures merger with a share-based break-up fee (claims 15477, 15461), directors resigned (claim 15476), and it had been operating under an interim CEO (claim 16644). Whether the 10-K due 2018-04-15 was filed on time is also unresolved (claim 16645).
A. Probably not. A cluster of April 2013 and 2014 claims appears to describe Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate. These include operations in 26 countries (claim 20897), an African presence in 19 countries (claim 20898), founder Ashish J. Thakkar and chairman Jagdish Thakkar (claims 20899, 20900), the Mara Foundation operating in 4 countries (claim 20903), and partnerships with UN Women and EY (claims 20896, 20895). They are likely entity-matching errors and should be excluded before anyone relies on them.
A. First, evidence that the 2018 Nasdaq compliance deadlines and board appointments were met (claims 15465-15468). Second, whether the 12-month cash runway concern (claim 15462) was resolved without heavy dilution. Third, any concrete data on mining operations: machines, capacity, coins produced, hosting partners. Finally, the dossier needs updating with post-2018 filings, since nothing on file covers the company's current operations.
A. 1. Did the patent business ever generate meaningful revenue, and from whom? The record gives no amounts or counterparties (claims 21014, 21025). 2. What happened to the patent portfolio after the pivot to crypto mining? 3. How much dilution resulted from the equity plan, the option grants and the break-up fee (claims 15460, 15461, 15389)? 4. Was Nasdaq compliance durably maintained (claim 15438 versus claims 15465-15468)? 5. Which claims in the file are misattributed to this company (the Mara Group items)?
Frequently asked
2026-10-09A. The record shows two distinct businesses under one ticker. From 2013 it ran as Marathon Patent Group, which bought patent portfolios and earned revenue by licensing and enforcing them in litigation (claims 21043, 21045, 21025). By August 2018 its filings described an expansion into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). This dossier does not cover the company's later, better-known identity as a large-scale bitcoin miner. The claims on record stop in October 2018.
A. The latest strategy in this record is the 2018 move into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The company also adopted a 2018 equity incentive plan reserving 10,000,000 shares (claim 15460) and granted its CEO 2.5 million stock options (claim 15385). The same filings warned that cash might not last the next 12 months (claim 15462). Nothing in the dossier describes strategy after late 2018, so treat this as historical, not current.
A. No mining customers or offtakers are named. In the patent era, the record names companies whose patents Marathon acquired, such as Siemens, Zhone, Delphi, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Mosaid and CyberFone. It also names licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022). These look like the sellers of the patents rather than paying licensees, so the record does not clearly identify any revenue-paying customers.
A. Delivered: a string of patent portfolio acquisitions (claims 21015-21036), the start of patent revenue (claim 21014), and regained Nasdaq listing compliance in August 2018 after new independent directors were appointed (claims 15435-15438). Not delivered: the planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated, with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claims 15477, 15461). The 2018 annual report (10-K) filing deadline was marked delayed (claim 16645), as were several Nasdaq compliance deadlines (claims 15465-15468). Announced items with no recorded outcome include the exploration of selling the real-estate business (claim 21044) and the Opus Analytics software product (claim 21010).
A. Yes. In 2018 directors resigned (claim 15476), an interim CEO was appointed (claims 16644, 16648), and the company fell out of compliance with Nasdaq board and committee rules. It faced compliance deadlines in 2018-2019 (claims 15466-15468). It reported regaining compliance on 2018-08-21 (claim 15438). The annual report deadline of 2018-04-15 was also marked delayed (claim 16645).
A. Probably not. Claims 20895-20903 describe Mara Group and its founder Ashish J. Thakkar: operations in 26 countries (claim 20897), 19 African countries (claim 20898), and a foundation active in 4 countries (claim 20903), plus UN Women and EY partnerships. That appears to be an unrelated African conglomerate that the automated extraction matched on the name 'Mara'. These claims should not be read as facts about Marathon.
A. First, check whether the dossier is ever extended past October 2018. The company's mining scale-up, hash-rate targets, financing and facility buildouts are not covered here at all. Within the existing record, follow-ups to look for are the outcome of the cash-runway warning (claim 15462), dilution from the 10,000,000-share equity plan (claim 15460), and whether the real-estate disposition (claim 21044) or Opus Analytics (claim 21010) ever produced a result.
A. (1) Coverage: the record ends in 2018, so it says nothing about the company as it operates today. (2) Data quality: several claims appear misattributed from Mara Group, and many patent acquisitions are duplicated under different claim ids, for example 21021/21034 and 21020/21033. (3) Economics: there is no disclosed patent licensing revenue, no mining output, and no named counterparty paying the company. (4) Every claim is 'stated' or 'delayed', and none is marked as verified delivered by an independent source.
Frequently asked
2026-10-08A. The record shows two distinct businesses. From 2013 to 2015 the company, then renamed Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045), acquired patent portfolios and earned money by licensing and enforcing them in court (claims 21043, 21014, 21025). It also launched a SaaS analytics tool, Opus Analytics (claim 21010). By August 2018 its disclosed direction had turned to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The record does not explain how the patent business was wound down.
A. The most recent strategic claim in this record is an August 2018 statement about expanding cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The available record ends around October 2018. It contains no disclosed mining capacity, hash rate, coin production or facility figures, so the dossier cannot describe the company's present-day strategy or scale. Readers should not assume the record reflects the company as it operates today.
A. No customers are named in the record. The only named commercial counterparties are from the patent era. Siemens Technology (claim 21018) and Zhone (claim 21022) appear in licensing agreements, and IP Navigation Group is described as a key supplier (claim 21024). Mining operations normally sell output to a market rather than to named customers, and the record names no mining-era counterparties.
A. Delivered: patent portfolios were acquired from Sampo, Mosaid, CyberFone, Siemens, Delphi, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, TT IP and Zhone (claims 21015-21036). In 2018 three independent directors were appointed (claims 15435-15437) and Nasdaq listing compliance was regained (claim 15438). Not delivered or delayed: the 2018 10-K filing deadline (claim 16645) was delayed. The planned Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated, with a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claims 15477, 15461). Several Nasdaq compliance deadlines were marked delayed (claims 15465-15468).
A. Yes. In August 2018 the company flagged uncertainty about whether it had 12 months of cash runway (claim 15462). Mid-2018 also saw directors resign (claim 15476), an interim CEO (claims 16644, 16648) and Nasdaq board-composition deficiencies (claims 15465-15468). Merrick Okamoto then became Executive Chairman and CEO and received 2.5 million stock options (claims 15387, 15385). Directors also received option grants, for example 50,000 shares each for Fred Thiel and Michael Berg (claims 15396, 15395).
A. Probably not. Claims 20895-20903 describe the Mara Foundation, operations in 26 countries, a presence in 19 African countries, founder Ashish J. Thakkar, and partnerships with UN Women and EY. These match Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate, and appear to be mis-attributed by automated extraction on a name match. Readers should exclude them until they are verified.
A. The main gap is the period after 2018. Readers should look for disclosed mining capacity and production figures, financing and share dilution (the 2018 equity plan reserved 10,000,000 shares, claim 15460), and whether the going-concern uncertainty (claim 15462) was resolved. Continued Nasdaq compliance after the 2018 remediation (claim 15438) is also worth tracking.
A. (1) The record has essentially no coverage after October 2018, so the company's current business cannot be assessed from it. (2) Entity contamination from Mara Group (claims 20895-20903). (3) What became of the patent portfolios and licensing revenue after the pivot. (4) Nearly every claim is 'stated' from automated extraction, with no claim independently verified as completed.
Frequently asked
2026-10-08A. The record shows the company changing business several times. In early 2013 it left real estate (21044), renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (21045), and became a patent acquisition and licensing business (21043). It bought patent portfolios from sellers including Sampo IP, Mosaid, CyberFone, Siemens, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, Zhone, Delphi and TT IP (21028–21036), and in 2015 it announced a SaaS analytics tool called Opus Analytics (21010). By August 2018 its stated focus was cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459). The claims on record end in late 2018, so this dossier does not document what the company does today.
A. The most recent strategy claim on record is cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459, August 2018). An attempted merger with Global Bit Ventures, a crypto-mining company, was terminated in June 2018, with a break-up fee paid in shares (3,000,000 shares, 15461). This dossier holds no claims after October 2018. Readers should treat any later strategy as outside this record until newer filings are added.
A. No customers are named. The patent-era claims list portfolio sellers and counterparties, such as licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone (21018, 21022) and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (21024). None of these is identified as a paying customer or licensee. The record also discloses no customers, counterparties or offtake arrangements for the crypto-mining business.
A. The record supports these completed events: the 2013 rename and pivot to patents (21045), a series of patent portfolio acquisitions (21015–21036), patent enforcement litigation (21025), the termination of the Global Bit Ventures merger (15477), and the appointment of new independent directors in August 2018 along with a statement that NASDAQ listing compliance had been regained (15435–15438). The record does not show delivered patent licensing revenue figures, Opus Analytics adoption, or any operating crypto-mining capacity. Those items appear only as stated intentions.
A. Yes. In 2018 the 10-K annual report filing was delayed (16645). After directors resigned (15476), the company faced NASDAQ deadlines to submit a compliance plan and to appoint 2 new independent directors (15465–15468). The company then announced board appointments and regained compliance in August 2018 (15438). Some of those deadline claims are still labeled 'delayed' even though compliance was later reported as regained. That status labeling should be reconciled. The August 2018 filing also flagged doubt about whether the company had 12 months of cash runway (15462).
A. Probably not. The claims dated 2013-04-04 and 2014 about a 'Mara Foundation' in four African countries, operations in 26 countries, founder Ashish J. Thakkar, and partnerships with UN Women and EY (20895–20903) appear to describe Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate. They were most likely misattributed during automated extraction and should be excluded or verified before anyone relies on them.
A. First, ingestion of post-2018 filings, since this dossier stops at October 2018. Second, any disclosed mining capacity, equipment purchases or facility arrangements that would turn the 2018 crypto pivot (15459) into something verifiable. Third, dilution from equity programs, including the 10,000,000-share 2018 incentive plan reserve (15460) and 2.5 million unvested options with change-of-control acceleration (15386). Fourth, whether the cash-runway concern (15462) was resolved.
A. 1. Did the patent business ever produce meaningful revenue? No revenue figures appear on record. 2. What was the outcome of the patent litigation (21025)? 3. Did the crypto pivot become real operations, and on what scale? 4. How much shareholder dilution did repeated reinventions cause, starting with the 2013 reverse split authorization (2-for-3, 21046)? 5. Which claims in this dataset belong to a different company?
Frequently asked
2026-10-07A. The record shows a company that has changed businesses several times. In February 2013 it announced a move into acquiring, developing and monetizing intellectual property, and a name change to Marathon Patent Group, Inc. (claims 21043, 21045). At the same time it said it was exploring the sale of a prior real estate business (claim 21044). By August 2018 its filings describe an expansion into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The claims on file stop in October 2018, so they do not document what the company does today.
A. It acquired patent portfolios and earned money from them through licensing and litigation. Disclosed acquisitions include Sampo IP, CyberFone Systems, a Mosaid Technologies patent, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, TT IP, Siemens Technology, Delphi Technologies and Zhone (claims 21028-21036). Disclosed licensing agreements include Zhone and Siemens Technology (claims 21018, 21022). The company also disclosed patent enforcement litigation (claim 21025), a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim 21024), and no R&D spending (claim 21027). In 2015 it added a SaaS product, Opus Analytics (claim 21010).
A. The most recent strategy on record is cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459, August 2018). A planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated in June 2018 (claim 15477), with a break-up fee paid in shares, recorded as 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). The record contains no disclosed mining capacity, hashrate, facility or production figures. The strategy is therefore documented only as a direction, not as measured operations.
A. None are named as customers. In the patent era, the named counterparties are licensees (Zhone, Siemens Technology; claims 21018, 21022) and patent sellers. No purchasers, hosting clients or offtakers are named for the crypto mining business. Anyone describing a customer base should be asked for a source.
A. Delivered or completed: the patent acquisitions listed above, the corporate name change (claim 21045), board appointments in August 2018 (claims 15435-15437), and a regained NASDAQ listing-rule compliance (claim 15438). Missed or delayed: the 2018 10-K filing deadline (claim 16645), a NASDAQ compliance plan deadline (claim 15466), a deadline to appoint two independent directors (claim 15465), and a compensation committee compliance deadline (claim 15468). Abandoned: the Global Bit Ventures merger (claim 15477). Announced with no follow-up in the record: the crypto mining expansion (claim 15459).
A. Weak. An August 2018 filing flagged substantial doubt about having 12 months of cash runway (claim 15462). It also set aside 10,000,000 shares for a 2018 equity incentive plan (claim 15460), and 2.5 million unvested options carry change-of-control acceleration (claim 15386). Both point to equity-based compensation and possible dilution rather than cash generation. Leadership changed in 2018, with Merrick Okamoto moving from interim CEO to Executive Chairman and CEO (claims 16648, 15387).
A. First, any disclosure that turns the mining pivot into numbers: machines deployed, hashrate, power contracts, site locations, bitcoin produced. Second, whether the runway warning (claim 15462) was resolved without heavy dilution. Third, whether the delayed NASDAQ governance items (claims 15465, 15467, 15468) were fully closed. Finally, the gap between October 2018 and today: this dossier has no claims covering that period.
A. 1) Entity mix-up: the April 2013 claims about operations in 26 countries, 19 African countries, the Mara Foundation, Ashish Thakkar and Jagdish Thakkar, and the UN Women and EY partnerships (claims 20895-20903) appear to describe Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate. They should not be read as Marathon's footprint. 2) Several claims are blank placeholders with no figure, such as the employee count (claim 21026). 3) The supplied record is truncated after October 2018, so it is missing all later operating history. 4) Most claims were auto-extracted and only moved to 'stated' status in September 2026. None of them has been independently verified as delivered.
Frequently asked
2026-10-07A. The record covers two different businesses. Starting in 2013, the company was a patent-monetization business. It changed its name to Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045) and bought patent portfolios from Sampo IP, Mosaid, CyberFone, Siemens, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Delphi, TT IP and Zhone (claims 21042, 21015-21036). It made money by licensing those patents and suing to enforce them (claims 21013, 21014, 21025). In 2015 it also offered an Opus Analytics software tool (claim 21010). By August 2018 its stated direction had changed to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459).
A. The latest strategy on file is cryptocurrency mining expansion, stated in August 2018 (claim 15459). The claims shown end in October 2018 and the list is cut off there. This dossier therefore cannot speak to the company's strategy after 2018. Readers should not treat the mining pivot as current without newer filings.
A. No customers are named. The patent era lists licensing counterparties, Zhone and Siemens Technology (claims 21022, 21018), but these are the same companies the patents were bought from, so they are not clearly arm's-length buyers. IP Navigation Group is named as a key supplier (claim 21024). No mining-era customers, hosting partners or counterparties appear in the record.
A. Delivered, per the record: the name change, the patent acquisitions, and a licensing and litigation program that produced revenue (claim 21014). In 2018, three directors were appointed: Michael Berg, S. Michael Rudolph and Fred Thiel (claims 15435-15437). The company also reported regaining NASDAQ listing compliance on 2018-08-21 (claim 15438). Not delivered: the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated, with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claims 15477, 15461). The crypto mining expansion (claim 15459) is only a stated intention in this record, with no capacity or output figures attached.
A. Yes. In 2018 there was an interim CEO, Merrick Okamoto (claim 16648), and the 10-K annual report was filed late (claim 16645). Directors resigned when the merger collapsed (claim 15476). NASDAQ also set compliance deadlines covering a compliance plan, independent directors and the compensation committee (claims 15465-15468). Those deadlines are tagged 'delayed' by automated extraction. However, claim 15438 says compliance was regained in August 2018, so the 'delayed' tags may be extraction artifacts rather than real misses.
A. The August 2018 filing raised doubt about whether the company had enough cash to fund the next 12 months (claim 15462). That same month it reserved 10,000,000 shares for an equity incentive plan (claim 15460), which could dilute existing shareholders. No later financing or revenue figures appear in the record.
A. Likely, yes. Claims 20895-20903 describe operations in 26 countries, a 'Mara Foundation', and executives named Ashish and Jagdish Thakkar. They also describe partnerships with UN Women and EY. These match Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate, not Marathon Patent Group or Digital. They should be excluded from any analysis of MARA until the matching is verified.
A. 1. Get post-2018 filings, since this record stops at the start of the crypto pivot and says nothing about mining scale or results. 2. Find out whether the 2018 cash shortfall concern (claim 15462) was resolved, and how much dilution it took. 3. Check whether the 'delayed' NASDAQ deadlines were actually missed, given the compliance reported in claim 15438. 4. Learn what happened to the patent portfolio after the pivot. 5. Clean out the misattributed Mara Group claims.
Frequently asked
2026-10-07A. The record here covers only 2013 to October 2018, so it describes the company's early history rather than its present. Marathon began as a patent-monetization business: in February 2013 it took the name Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045). It said it would buy, develop and license intellectual property (claim 21043), starting with the Sampo IP acquisition (claim 21042). It also said it would explore selling a legacy real estate business (claim 21044). By 2014 it had bought patent portfolios from companies including Siemens, Delphi, Mosaid, CyberFone, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, TT IP and Zhone (claims 21015-21036). It reported no research and development spending (claim 21027). In August 2018 it disclosed a move into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459).
A. The most recent strategy in this record is the August 2018 pivot to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The planned way to scale up, a merger with Global Bit Ventures, was terminated in June 2018 (claim 15477), with a break-up fee paid in shares (claim 15461). The record ends in October 2018. It contains nothing on later mining capacity, hashrate or bitcoin holdings, so readers should not take this dossier as a picture of the company today.
A. No customers are named. The nearest thing to counterparties are patent licensing agreements with Siemens (claim 21018) and Zhone (claim 21022). The record lists no buyers for the mining business.
A. Almost all claims are marked 'stated', meaning they were taken from filings or press releases and not independently checked. Some outcomes are clear from the record: - The company received Nasdaq deficiency notices with deadlines (claims 15465-15468) and regained compliance in August 2018 (claim 15438). - It appointed new independent directors in August 2018 (claims 15435-15437). - The Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated, not completed (claims 15477, 15461). - A 10-K filing deadline was marked as delayed (claim 16645). The patent acquisitions and the start of patent revenue (claim 21014) are recorded as stated, but no revenue figures are given.
A. Merrick Okamoto served as interim CEO (claim 16648). In October 2018 he became Executive Chairman and CEO and received 2,500,000 stock options (claims 15387, 15385). Fred Thiel and Michael Berg each received 50,000 options as directors (claims 15396, 15395).
A. In August 2018 the company disclosed doubt about whether it had enough cash for the next 12 months (claim 15462). It also reserved 10,000,000 shares for its 2018 equity incentive plan (claim 15460). Alongside the share-based break-up fee (claim 15461), the 2.5 million CEO options (claim 15385) and the delayed 10-K (claim 16645), these point to dilution and funding risk around the time of the mining pivot.
A. Yes. Claims 20895-20903 describe operations in 26 countries, an African presence and the Mara Foundation, with Ashish and Jagdish Thakkar as founder and chairman. These almost certainly belong to Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate, and were probably attached to this company by mistake through name matching. Several patent acquisitions also appear twice (for example claims 21023 and 21036, or 21017 and 21030). The record also stops in October 2018, so roughly eight years of history is missing.
A. First, the dossier needs to be filled in from late 2018 to the present, especially mining capacity, how much was actually delivered compared with guidance, and financing and dilution. Second, the Mara Group claims should be removed. Third, the 'stated' claims, such as patent revenue (claim 21014) and the patent licenses (claims 21018, 21022), should be checked against later filings to confirm whether they produced results.
Frequently asked
2026-10-06A. In this record the company changes business several times. In February 2013 it became Marathon Patent Group, buying patents and earning money by licensing them and suing over them (claims 21045, 21043). It also said it would look at selling its earlier real estate business (claim 21044). Through 2014 it bought patent portfolios from Delphi, Zhone, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, CyberFone, Siemens, Mosaid and others (claims 21013-21036). By August 2018 it was expanding into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The record does not describe what the mining operation looks like in practice, such as the number of machines, hashrate or site locations.
A. The claims on file stop in October 2018, so the dossier cannot describe the company's strategy today. The latest stated direction is the 2018 move into crypto mining (claim 15459). A planned merger with Global Bit Ventures, which was meant to support that move, was terminated in June 2018 (claims 15477, 15461). Anything after late 2018 needs to come from newer filings before it is presented as current strategy.
A. The record names no customers for the crypto mining business. In the patent era, the only named counterparties are licensing agreements with Zhone and Siemens Technology (claims 21022, 21018), and both also sold patents to the company. IP Navigation Group is named as a key supplier, apparently an enforcement or monetization adviser (claim 21024). The record has no revenue breakdown by customer.
A. Delivered: the 2013 name change and pivot to patents (claim 21045), a series of 2014 patent acquisitions (claims 21015-21036), and the start of patent revenue (claim 21014). Nasdaq said in August 2018 that the company was back in compliance with its listing rules (claim 15438), after three new independent directors were appointed (claims 15435-15437). Not delivered or late: the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated, with a break-up fee paid in stock of 3,000,000 shares (claims 15461, 15477). The 2018 annual report (10-K) was flagged as late against its 2018-04-15 deadline (claim 16645). Several 2018 Nasdaq compliance deadlines are marked delayed (claims 15465-15468).
A. It was fragile. In August 2018 the company disclosed doubt about whether it had enough cash for the next 12 months (claim 15462). In April 2018 Merrick D. Okamoto was named interim CEO (claim 16648). Directors resigned when the Global Bit Ventures merger collapsed (claim 15476), and the company then had to rebuild its board to keep its Nasdaq listing (claims 15465, 15438). It also set aside 10,000,000 shares for a 2018 equity incentive plan (claim 15460), which could dilute existing shareholders.
A. Yes. A group of claims dated 2013-04-04 and 2014 appear to describe Mara Group, a separate African conglomerate founded by Ashish J. Thakkar, not Marathon. These include operations in 26 countries (claim 20897), an African presence in 19 countries (claim 20898), the Mara Foundation in 4 countries (claim 20903), executive appointments (claims 20899-20902), and partnerships with UN Women and EY (claims 20896, 20895). They should not be treated as Marathon's history. Some patent acquisitions are also listed twice (for example, claims 21021 and 21034 both cover TT IP).
A. First, filings after 2018 that show whether the mining operation was actually built out, including machine counts, hashrate, power contracts and hosting partners. Second, whether the company stayed in compliance with Nasdaq rules and filed its reports on time, given the delayed 10-K (claim 16645). Third, whether the cash-runway warning (claim 15462) was resolved through financing and how much dilution that caused. Fourth, what happened to the patent portfolio after the pivot, whether it was sold, abandoned or still licensed.
A. 1) Most entries are bare 'stated' facts pulled automatically from filings, with no follow-up showing whether the plan was carried out, so the dossier says little about real results. 2) The record says nothing about the mining business after 2018, including its scale and economics. 3) The Mara Group entries need to be removed before any of the dossier is relied on. 4) The record does not show how much revenue the patent business produced or why it was left behind for crypto.
Frequently asked
2026-10-06A. The record only covers 2013 to late 2018, so it shows how the company began rather than what it is today. It started as an intellectual-property business. In 2013 it renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045) and described its business as acquiring, developing and monetizing IP (claim 21043). It then bought patent portfolios from Delphi, Zhone, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Siemens, Mosaid and CyberFone (claims 21016-21036). By August 2018 it was talking about expanding into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). Nothing in the record describes the Bitcoin-mining operation the company is known for now.
A. The record does not show a current strategy. The latest strategic claim is from August 2018: a stated plan to expand cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). It came alongside a planned merger with Global Bit Ventures that was terminated (claims 15477, 15461). The record has no claims after October 2018 and is cut off partway through a claim (15394). Any statement about strategy after 2018 would need sources outside this dossier.
A. The record names no customers. The closest it comes are counterparties from the patent era: licensing agreements with Zhone (claim 21022) and Siemens Technology (claim 21018), and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim 21024). There are no named mining customers, hosting partners or offtake counterparties.
A. No claim in the record has been verified as delivered. Every claim is either 'stated' (the company said it) or 'delayed.' The deadlines that slipped are a 10-K filing due 2018-04-15 (claim 16645), a Nasdaq compliance plan (claim 15466) and a board-independence deadline (claims 15465, 15467, 15468). The company later said it had regained Nasdaq compliance after adding directors (claims 15438, 15435-15437), but that is still the company's own statement, not an independently checked outcome. The Global Bit Ventures merger did not close. It ended with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461).
A. There were signs of strain. In August 2018 the company disclosed doubt about whether it had 12 months of cash runway (claim 15462). That same month it reserved 10,000,000 shares for its 2018 equity incentive plan (claim 15460). Together these point to possible shareholder dilution. In 2013 it also authorized a 2-for-3 reverse stock split (claim 21046).
A. Yes. Claims 20895-20903 describe Mara Group and the Mara Foundation: operations in 26 countries (claim 20897), executives Ashish and Jagdish Thakkar, and partnerships with UN Women and EY. This appears to be a different, Africa-focused company that was attached to MARA by mistake. Several patent acquisitions also appear twice (for example, claims 21021 and 21034 both describe TT IP). In addition, the record is cut off after October 2018.
A. First, the dossier needs claims from after 2018: mining hash-rate targets, machine deliveries, energy and hosting agreements, and how those targets compare with what was actually achieved. Second, the misattributed Mara Group claims should be removed. Third, the 'stated' claims, such as the Nasdaq compliance regained in claim 15438, should be checked against later filings and either verified or contradicted.
A. 1. How and when did the company move from patent licensing to Bitcoin mining at scale, and which disclosures record that move? 2. Did the patent portfolios ever generate meaningful revenue? The company stated that revenue had begun (claim 21014), but no amounts are on record. 3. How was the 2018 cash-runway doubt (claim 15462) resolved, and how much dilution did that take? 4. Who are the company's mining-era counterparties? None are named in the record.
Frequently asked
2026-10-05A. On this record, the company has had two businesses. From 2013 it was Marathon Patent Group, which bought patent portfolios and earned money by licensing and enforcing them in court (claims 21045, 21043, 21025). By August 2018 its filings describe expanding into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The dossier has no claims describing the mining business in operation, such as machine counts, hashrate or coins mined.
A. The latest strategic claim on record is the 2018 move into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The record shown here ends in October 2018, so it says nothing about the company's strategy after that. A reader should not treat the 2018 picture as current without newer filings.
A. No mining customers are named. During the patent era, the named counterparties were mostly sellers of patents: Sampo IP, Mosaid, CyberFone, Siemens, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, TT IP, Zhone and Delphi (claims 21028-21036). Licensing agreements are recorded with Siemens and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022). IP Navigation Group is named as a key supplier (claim 21024).
A. Every claim in this dossier is still marked 'stated' or 'delayed' by automated extraction, and none is independently marked as delivered. Two outcomes are documented. First, the planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated, with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claims 15477, 15461). Second, the company regained compliance with NASDAQ listing rules after appointing new independent directors in August 2018 (claims 15438, 15435, 15436). The cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459) has no follow-up claims showing it was carried out.
A. In 2018 the company missed its 10-K annual report deadline (claim 16645). It also faced several NASDAQ compliance deadlines, all marked delayed (claims 15466, 15467, 15468). Its filings disclosed doubt about having enough cash for the next 12 months (claim 15462). Directors resigned in June 2018 (claim 15476), and the CEO at the time held an interim title (claim 16648).
A. Probably not. Several April 2013 and 2014 claims describe an African business group with founder Ashish J. Thakkar, operations in 26 countries, a Mara Foundation, and partnerships with UN Women and EY (claims 20895-20903). These look like the separate Mara Group conglomerate, attached to this company by mistake because of the similar 'MARA' name. They should be excluded until someone checks them against the original filings.
A. The most important gap is filings after 2018 showing whether the mining business was actually built and at what scale. Other things to watch: whether the 12-month cash runway concern (claim 15462) was resolved, whether the company stayed in compliance with NASDAQ rules, and what happened to the patent portfolio and the Siemens and Zhone licenses once the focus moved to crypto.
A. (1) The record stops in late 2018, so it says nothing about the company today. (2) Several claims appear to belong to a different company (claims 20895-20903). (3) No claim confirms that any mining capacity was delivered or produced revenue. (4) Patent licensing revenue is said to have begun (claim 21014), but no amount is recorded. (5) All claim statuses come from automated extraction and have not been reviewed by a person.
Frequently asked
2026-10-05A. The record shows two businesses. From 2013 it was Marathon Patent Group, which bought patent portfolios and earned money by licensing and suing over them (claims 21043, 21025). It had no R&D spending (claim 21027). By August 2018 it had shifted to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The record does not explain how that pivot happened or how far it went.
A. The latest strategy on file is the 2018 move into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). That move came with heavy financial strain. The company itself warned it might not have enough cash for the next 12 months (claim 15462), and it set aside 10,000,000 shares for a 2018 equity incentive plan (claim 15460). The record on file stops in October 2018, so it contains nothing on the company's later scale, hardware, or energy arrangements.
A. No customers are named. The only named counterparties are from the patent era: licensing agreements with Zhone and Siemens Technology (claims 21022, 21018) and a key supplier, IP Navigation Group (claim 21024). The record names no buyers, hosting partners, or mining-pool relationships for the crypto business.
A. No claim in the record has been verified as delivered. Everything is marked 'stated' (the company said it) or 'delayed' (a deadline was missed). Some events are clearly documented, such as the many patent portfolio purchases in 2014 (e.g., claims 21017, 21019, 21020, 21023). Other disclosures are of failures and setbacks: - The planned Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated, with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claims 15477, 15461). - The 2018 annual report (10-K) was filed late (claim 16645). - A Nasdaq listing-rule problem forced it to submit a plan to regain compliance (claims 15466, 15467).
A. Yes, two. 1. Several 'delayed' tags look out of date. Claim 15465 says two new independent directors were promised by January 2019 and marks this as delayed. But claims 15435 and 15436 record two directors appointed in August 2018, and claim 15438 says Nasdaq compliance was regained. 2. Claims 20895 to 20903 appear to describe a different company: Mara Group, Ashish Thakkar's Africa-focused conglomerate. These include its 26-country operations (claim 20897) and its partnerships with UN Women and EY. They are likely misattributed and should not be read as Marathon's footprint.
A. Merrick D. Okamoto became interim CEO in April 2018 (claim 16648). Fred Thiel, Michael Berg and S. Michael Rudolph joined the board or its committees in August 2018 (claims 15437, 15435, 15436). The record also shows David Lieberman's pay: a $180,000 base salary and 200,000 stock options (claims 15391, 15392). It does not list later leadership changes.
A. Three things: - Any disclosure that fills the gap after October 2018, especially mining capacity, hashrate, and named hosting or power counterparties. - Confirmation of whether the 2018 doubts about having enough cash for the next year (claim 15462) were resolved. - How much share issuance came from the incentive plan and the merger break-up fee (claims 15460, 15461), since issuing new shares shrinks existing holders' stakes.
A. 1. Whether the record is complete. It ends in late 2018 and says nothing about the company's later bitcoin-mining operations. 2. What happened to the patent portfolio and its licensing income after the pivot. 3. Whether the company could keep operating, given its own 2018 warning about cash. 4. Data quality: possibly stale 'delayed' tags, and claims that seem to belong to Mara Group, need cleanup before anyone relies on this dossier.
Frequently asked
2026-10-03A. The record shows a company that has reinvented itself. In February 2013 it renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045), entered the business of acquiring and monetizing intellectual property (claim 21043), and said it would explore selling its real estate business (claim 21044). By March 2014 it had bought patent portfolios from Sampo, Mosaid, CyberFone, Siemens, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, Delphi, Zhone and TT IP (claims 21015-21036), and it was enforcing them through litigation (claim 21025). It reported no R&D spending (claim 21027). In August 2018 it disclosed an expansion into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459), the business the 'Digital' name now reflects.
A. The most recent strategic claim in this dossier is the August 2018 move into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). A planned merger with Global Bit Ventures, which would have supported that pivot, was terminated (claim 15477) with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). The record shown ends in October 2018. It contains no claims about mining capacity, hashrate, bitcoin holdings or facilities, so readers should not treat this dossier as a description of the company today.
A. No mining customers or offtakers are named anywhere in the record. The only named commercial counterparties come from the patent era. These are licensing agreements with Siemens Technology (claim 21018) and Zhone (claim 21022), plus IP Navigation Group, which is described as a key supplier rather than a customer (claim 21024). Patent-era licensees say nothing about the current business.
A. No claim in this dossier has reached a 'delivered' or verified status. Every item is either 'stated' (the company said it) or 'delayed'. The delayed items are a 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim 16645), a NASDAQ compliance-plan deadline (claim 15466), a deadline to appoint two independent directors (claim 15465), a compensation-committee compliance deadline (claim 15468), and a broader listing-rule deadline (claim 15467). The company later stated that it had regained NASDAQ compliance on 2018-08-21 (claim 15438) after appointing new directors (claims 15435-15437). That is a company statement, not an independently confirmed outcome. The record also says nothing about whether the 2013 real-estate disposition (claim 21044) or the NASDAQ listing goal (claim 21037) happened.
A. In August 2018 the company disclosed uncertainty about whether it had 12 months of cash runway (claim 15462). In the same filing it reserved 10,000,000 shares for its 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (claim 15460), and it paid the Global Bit Ventures break-up fee in stock rather than cash (claim 15461). Paying in shares rather than cash, together with the runway warning, points to a company that was funding itself through dilution at that time. The record includes no revenue or mining-output figures.
A. Yes. Claims 20895-20903 (operations in 26 countries, a Mara Foundation, partnerships with UN Women and EY, and personnel such as Ashish J. Thakkar and Jagdish Thakkar) appear to describe Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate. They look like an entity-matching error and should be disregarded for Marathon. Several patent acquisitions are also recorded twice (for example, claims 21021 and 21034 for TT IP, and 21020 and 21033 for Intergraph). The claim list supplied for this FAQ was cut off after October 2018, so later history is missing.
A. There are four things to watch. First, claims after 2018 that set out the mining business with numbers: capacity, sites, bitcoin produced and held, and energy contracts. Second, any named hosting partners, power suppliers or offtakers. Third, whether any claim moves from 'stated' to 'delivered' with outside evidence. Fourth, signs of continued share issuance, given the 2018 runway warning (claim 15462) and the 10,000,000-share equity reserve (claim 15460).
A. First, how and when the patent-licensing business wound down, and what became of the portfolios acquired in 2013-2014. Second, what the mining operation looks like in practice, since the record contains no quantitative mining claims. Third, whether the 2018 governance and listing problems (claims 15465-15468, 16645) recurred. Fourth, how the company funded the move into mining after its cash runway warning (claim 15462). The record as provided cannot answer any of these.
Frequently asked
2026-10-03A. The record shows two distinct businesses. From 2013 to about 2015 it was a patent-monetization company. It renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (21045), bought patent portfolios from companies such as Siemens, Intergraph, Delphi, TeleCommunication Systems, Zhone and Mosaid (21028–21036), and earned money by licensing those patents and suing alleged infringers (21025). It disclosed no research and development spending (21027). By 2018 it had pivoted to cryptocurrency mining (21059 is not on record; see 15459). The disclosures in this dossier stop in October 2018, so the company's later bitcoin-mining scale is not covered here.
A. The most recent strategy on record is 'cryptocurrency mining expansion' (15459, August 2018). An earlier plan to grow through a merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated in June 2018 (15477), with a break-up fee paid in shares (3,000,000 shares, 15461). No strategy disclosures after October 2018 are on record, so treat anything newer as outside this dossier.
A. None are named. The patent-era filings name counterparties: licensing agreements with Siemens Technology (21018) and Zhone (21022), and IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (21024). These are patent sellers, licensors and service providers, not customers. The mining-era claims name no customers or offtakers at all.
A. No claim in this record has been independently verified as delivered. Every item is either 'stated' (the company said it) or 'delayed'. The items that read as completed events are the patent acquisitions, the name change, the termination of the Global Bit Ventures merger (15477) and NASDAQ saying the company had regained compliance with its listing rules (15438). Items marked delayed include the 10-K annual report deadline (16645), the plan to appoint 2 new independent directors (15465), and the NASDAQ and compensation-committee compliance deadlines (15466, 15467, 15468).
A. It was fragile. In August 2018 the company disclosed uncertainty about whether it had 12 months of cash runway (15462). It also reserved 10,000,000 shares for a 2018 equity incentive plan (15460). Around the same time it granted the CEO 5,000,000 stock options (15389) on a $350,000 base salary (15388) and hired a CFO at $180,000 (15391). Combined with the delayed annual filing (16645) and the governance lapses tied to its listing, the record describes a small company under financial strain and at risk of dilution, not an established operator.
A. Not all of them. Claims 20895–20903 (April 2013 to February 2014) describe a business present in 19 African countries (20898) and 26 countries worldwide (20897). They also cover founder Ashish J. Thakkar, the Mara Foundation, and partnerships with UN Women and EY. These match Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate, and were almost certainly misattributed because of the 'Mara'/MARA name overlap. Readers should disregard them, and they should be flagged for removal.
A. Watch for three things. First, filings after October 2018 that show whether the crypto-mining expansion (15459) actually produced machines, hashrate and revenue. Second, whether the governance deficiencies were permanently fixed after the delayed listing and compliance deadlines (15465–15468). Third, how financing evolved given the runway warning (15462). The dossier needs to be extended past 2018 before any current assessment is possible.
A. (1) The record ends in 2018, so it says nothing about the company as it exists today. (2) Nothing is marked as verified delivery. (3) Claims about an unrelated company are mixed in (20895–20903). (4) Some extracted details look wrong and need checking against the source filings. Examples are a reverse split described as a '2-for-3 ratio' (21046) and an April 2013 claim about a strategic intent to list on NASDAQ (21037). (5) The record does not explain what happened to the patent portfolio and its licensing revenue (21014) once the company pivoted to mining.
Frequently asked
2026-10-02A. The record shows two businesses. From 2013 to 2015 the company was a patent licensing business. It renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045), described its model as acquiring, developing and monetizing intellectual property (claim 21043), and reported no R&D spending (claim 21027). By August 2018 it had moved into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The record has no claims about operations after October 2018, so it does not describe the current business.
A. The latest strategy on record is the 2018 'cryptocurrency mining expansion' (claim 15459). The claim gives no hashrate, machine counts, site locations or timeline. Around that time the company also set aside 10,000,000 shares for a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (claim 15460). Any strategy after 2018 is not covered by these claims.
A. No mining-era customer or counterparty is named. In the patent era, the named licensees were Siemens Technology (claim 21018) and Zhone (claim 21022), and IP Navigation Group was named as a key supplier (claim 21024). Patent portfolios were bought from Sampo, Mosaid, CyberFone, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, TT IP and Delphi (claims 21015-21023, 21028-21036). Several of these appear twice as duplicate extractions.
A. Delivered: the patent portfolio acquisitions and licensing deals (2014). After board turnover, NASDAQ listing compliance was regained in August 2018 (claim 15438) with new directors Michael Berg, S. Michael Rudolph and Fred Thiel (claims 15435-15437). Not delivered: the planned Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated (claim 15477), with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). The 2013 plan to explore selling the real estate business (claim 21044) and the Opus Analytics SaaS product (claim 21010) have no recorded outcome.
A. Yes. In August 2018 the company disclosed uncertainty about having 12 months of cash runway (claim 15462). In 2018 it also had a delayed 10-K filing (claim 16645), director resignations (claim 15476), and a run of NASDAQ compliance deadlines (claims 15465-15468). Leadership was concentrated in Merrick Okamoto, who became interim CEO and then Executive Chairman and CEO. He received 2,500,000 options that vest immediately on a change of control (claims 15385-15386).
A. Fresh, sourced claims covering 2019 onward, including mining capacity, power contracts, site ownership and any named hosting or energy counterparties. Readers should also watch for how the 2018 runway concern (claim 15462) was resolved and whether the patent assets and licensing revenue were wound down or sold.
A. First, claims 20895-20903 (Ashish and Jagdish Thakkar, the Mara Foundation, operations in 26 countries, and UN Women/EY partnerships) appear to describe Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate, and are probably misattributed. Second, several 2018 deadlines are marked 'delayed', but compliance was regained on 2018-08-21 (claim 15438), before the 2018-08-24 compliance-plan deadline (claim 15466), so those status labels may be extraction artifacts. Third, the record stops in October 2018 and its last claim (15387) is cut off, so it does not cover the company's later history.
Frequently asked
2026-10-02A. The record shows the company changing its business several times. In 2013 it renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045) and moved into acquiring, developing and monetizing intellectual property (claim 21043). It bought patent portfolios from sellers including Sampo IP, Mosaid, CyberFone, Siemens Technology, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, Zhone, Delphi and TT IP (claims 21042, 21016-21023). It also pursued patent enforcement litigation (claim 21025), reported no R&D spending (claim 21027), and in 2015 offered a SaaS tool called Opus Analytics (claim 21010). By August 2018 its filings described expanding into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459), which is the business behind its current name.
A. The latest strategic claim on file is the August 2018 statement on cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459). The dossier provided here stops in October 2018, so it holds no claims about hash-rate targets, mining fleet size, energy sites, or bitcoin treasury policy. Treat anything about the company after late 2018 as outside this record until those claims are extracted.
A. None are named. In the patent era, the record lists licensing agreements involving Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022), but both firms also appear as patent sellers (claims 21031, 21035). These look more like acquisition terms than customer relationships. IP Navigation Group is described as a key supplier (claim 21024). Bitcoin mining has no conventional customer base: revenue comes from block rewards and fees, plus any hosting or pool arrangements, and none of those counterparties appear in this record.
A. Delivered or completed: the name change and patent-portfolio acquisitions (claims 21045, 21015-21023); board appointments of Michael Berg, S. Michael Rudolph and Fred Thiel in August 2018 (claims 15435-15437); and regaining compliance with NASDAQ listing rules (claim 15438). Announced but not completed: the Global Bit Ventures merger, which was terminated with a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claims 15477, 15461). Several commitments are marked delayed, including the 2018 10-K filing (claim 16645) and the NASDAQ compliance-plan, director-appointment and compensation-committee deadlines (claims 15466, 15465, 15467, 15468). The 2013 plans to dispose of the real estate business (claim 21044) and to list on NASDAQ (claim 21037) are recorded as stated, with no follow-up outcome.
A. They point to a period of strain. Directors resigned (claim 15476), and an interim CEO was in place (claims 16644, 16648) before Merrick Okamoto was appointed Executive Chairman and CEO at a $350,000 base salary (claims 15387, 15388). Filings flagged uncertainty about whether the company had 12 months of cash (claim 15462). Other relevant items are a 10,000,000-share equity incentive reserve (claim 15460) and 2.5 million unvested options that would accelerate on a change of control (claim 15386). Both are potential sources of dilution.
A. Probably not. The claims dated April 2013 to February 2014 concern Mara Group: founder Ashish J. Thakkar, operations in 26 countries, an African presence in 19 countries, the Mara Foundation, and partnerships with UN Women and EY (claims 20895-20903). Mara Group is an unrelated African conglomerate. These look like a name-match error in automated extraction and should be excluded or reviewed before anyone relies on the dossier. Claim 21026 (employee count) also has no number attached.
A. First, extraction of the company's filings after 2018, so the bitcoin-mining strategy can be tracked against actual results. Second, cleanup of the misattributed Mara Group claims. Third, whether the delayed items from 2018 (claims 15462, 15465-15468, 16645) were later resolved or simply superseded. Finally, any named counterparties, such as hosting providers, power suppliers or mining pools, which would replace the current blank on customers and partners.
A. 1) The record has a gap from 2018 onward, which covers the entire period of the company's current identity. 2) None of the patent-licensing results or litigation outcomes are quantified (claims 21014, 21025). 3) The real estate disposition and the NASDAQ listing goal (claims 21044, 21037) have no recorded outcome. 4) All claim statuses were assigned by automated extraction and none have been verified by hand, so even items marked delayed need checking against the source filings.
Frequently asked
2026-10-01A. The record shows two distinct businesses. From 2013 the company bought and licensed patents. It acquired Sampo IP (21042), renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (21045), and explored selling its earlier real estate business (21044). It reported no research and development spending (21027). By August 2018 its filings describe expanding into cryptocurrency mining (15459). The dossier does not say whether the patent business was wound down or kept running alongside mining.
A. The most recent strategy on record is cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459, August 2018). The claims shown here end in October 2018, so this dossier cannot speak to anything the company has disclosed since then. Readers should not treat the 2018 picture as current.
A. For the patent business, the record names licensing agreements with Zhone (21022) and Siemens Technology (21018), and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (21024). The record also lists patent portfolio acquisitions from TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, Delphi Technologies, CyberFone Systems, Mosaid and TT IP (21016-21023, 21029-21036). These sellers are counterparties, not customers. No mining customers, hosting partners or offtakers are named anywhere in the record.
A. Completed, per the record: the name change and patent acquisitions; the appointment of new board members in August 2018 (15435-15437); and NASDAQ saying the company had regained listing-rule compliance (15438). Abandoned: the planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated (15477), with a break-up fee paid in shares, recorded as 3,000,000 shares (15461). Missed: the 2018 10-K filing deadline (16645). Several NASDAQ compliance deadlines are also marked delayed (15465-15468).
A. The record shows strain. Directors resigned (15476) and an interim CEO, Merrick D. Okamoto, was appointed (16648). The company disclosed uncertainty about whether it had enough cash for the next 12 months (15462). It also reserved 10,000,000 shares for a new equity incentive plan (15460), and granted stock options of 50,000 to 100,000 shares to individual directors and officers (15393-15396).
A. First, filings after October 2018 that show whether the cash-runway concern (15462) was resolved. Second, evidence that mining capacity was actually built and operated, not just announced (15459). Third, whether the company kept its NASDAQ compliance. The dossier's history needs to be extended past 2018 before any current assessment is possible.
A. 1) Wrong company: claims 20895-20903 (Mara Foundation, the Thakkar family, operations in 26 countries, 19 African countries, and the UN Women and EY partnerships) appear to describe Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate, not Marathon. They should be treated as suspect until verified. 2) Conflicting statuses: NASDAQ compliance is recorded as regained in August 2018 (15438), yet the related deadlines (15465-15468) are marked delayed. 3) Duplicates: many patent acquisitions appear twice (for example, 21021 and 21034). 4) Missing numbers: claims such as employee count (21026) and portfolio composition (21013) carry no figures.
Frequently asked
2026-09-30A. The disclosed history shows two phases. In 2013–2015 it was a patent-monetization company: it renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045), described itself as acquiring, developing and monetizing intellectual property (claim 21043), bought patent portfolios from sellers including Sampo IP, Mosaid, CyberFone, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, Delphi, Siemens and Zhone (claims 21015–21036), and enforced those patents through litigation (claim 21025). It reported no R&D spending (claim 21027). By August 2018 the filings describe an expansion into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459).
A. The claims on record stop in October 2018, so this dossier does not capture the company's present-day strategy. The most recent strategic signal is the 2018 move into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). A planned merger with Global Bit Ventures, which would have supported that pivot, was terminated in June 2018 with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claims 15477, 15461). Anything after late 2018 needs to come from newer filings.
A. No customers are named in the record. The closest equivalents from the patent era are licensing agreements with Siemens Technology (claim 21018) and Zhone (claim 21022), and IP Navigation Group is named as a key supplier (claim 21024). The record names no mining counterparties, hosting partners, or buyers.
A. Delivered: the name change (claim 21045), a run of patent portfolio acquisitions (claims 21015–21036), and a return to NASDAQ listing-rule compliance in August 2018 (claim 15438) after three independent directors were appointed (claims 15435–15437). Missed or delayed: the 10-K filing deadline in April 2018 (claim 16645) and several NASDAQ compliance deadlines (claims 15465–15468). Abandoned: the Global Bit Ventures merger (claim 15477). Announced with no documented outcome: the exploration of selling a real estate business (claim 21044), the Opus Analytics SaaS tool (claim 21010), and the scale of the crypto-mining expansion (claim 15459).
A. In August 2018 the company disclosed uncertainty about whether it had enough cash for the next 12 months (claim 15462). That is a going-concern-style warning. It also reserved 10,000,000 shares for a 2018 equity incentive plan (claim 15460), and CEO Merrick Okamoto received 2.5 million stock options (claim 15385), with an additional 2.5 million unvested options that accelerate on a change of control (claim 15386). Both point to potential dilution for shareholders.
A. Merrick D. Okamoto became interim CEO in 2018 (claim 16648) and was made Executive Chairman and CEO in October 2018 (claim 15387). Fred Thiel chaired the compensation committee as of August 2018 (claim 15437). Michael Berg joined as audit committee chair (claim 15435), and S. Michael Rudolph joined as nominating committee chair (claim 15436). Directors had resigned earlier in 2018 (claim 15476), which is what caused the NASDAQ independence problems.
A. Yes. The April 2013 claims about operations in 26 countries, presence in 19 African countries, the Mara Foundation, and executives Jagdish and Ashish Thakkar (claims 20897–20903), plus the 2014 partnerships with UN Women and EY (claims 20895–20896), appear to describe Mara Group, a separate Africa-based conglomerate. They are probably a name-matching error and should not be attributed to this company without verification. Several patent acquisitions also appear twice (for example, Delphi in claims 21023 and 21036), and the employee count (claim 21026) has no figure attached.
A. The biggest gap is everything after October 2018: how large the mining operation became, who its hosting and power partners are, and whether the cash-runway concern (claim 15462) was resolved. Other open questions: whether the patent portfolio still produces licensing revenue, what happened to the real-estate disposition (claim 21044), and how much dilution resulted from the 2018 equity grants (claims 15385, 15386, 15460). Readers should also look for any repeat of the late filings and listing-compliance lapses seen in 2018 (claims 16645, 15465–15468).
Frequently asked
2026-09-30A. Based on this record, it started as a patent-licensing company. In 2013 it renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045) to buy, license and enforce patents (claim 21043). It bought portfolios from Sampo, Mosaid, CyberFone, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, Delphi, TT IP, Siemens and Zhone (claims 21015-21036), reported no R&D spending (claim 21027), and earned money through licensing and litigation (claim 21025). In 2018 it turned toward cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The record provided stops in October 2018, so the later Bitcoin-mining business behind the 'Marathon Digital' name is not documented here.
A. The latest strategic claim on file is the August 2018 'cryptocurrency mining expansion' (claim 15459). It has no capacity, hashrate, or timeline figures attached. Nothing after October 2018 is in this record, so any current strategy has to be sourced from newer filings, not this dossier.
A. No customers are named. The closest thing is licensing agreements with Siemens Technology (claim 21018) and Zhone (claim 21022). But the same companies also appear as sources of patents it bought (claims 21031, 21035), so it is unclear whether they were paying licensees or sellers. IP Navigation Group is named as a key supplier (claim 21024). Nothing in the record names customers of the crypto business.
A. Almost every claim is marked 'stated', meaning it was announced but not independently verified. One completed item is documented: Nasdaq listing compliance was regained in August 2018 (claim 15438), after three new board appointments (claims 15435-15437). The planned Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated, with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claims 15477, 15461). Several deadlines are marked 'delayed', including the 2018 10-K filing (claim 16645) and Nasdaq compliance milestones (claims 15465-15468).
A. Yes. In August 2018 the company disclosed doubt about whether it had 12 months of cash (claim 15462). Directors resigned in June 2018 (claim 15476), and it needed a Nasdaq compliance plan (claim 15466). Merrick Okamoto moved from interim CEO (claim 16648) to Executive Chairman and CEO (claim 15387). He received 2.5 million stock options (claim 15385), with vesting that accelerates on a change of control (claim 15386). An equity plan reserved 10,000,000 shares (claim 15460), which points to potential dilution for shareholders.
A. No, and readers should be careful. The 2013-2014 claims about operations in 26 countries (claim 20897), an African presence in 19 countries (claim 20898), the Mara Foundation (claim 20903), the Thakkar family leadership (claims 20899-20900), and partnerships with UN Women and EY (claims 20896, 20895) appear to describe Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate, matched by name. They should be excluded until checked.
A. First, the record needs to be brought forward past October 2018. That would cover mining capacity and deployment figures, how the business is financed, any named hosting partners or counterparties, and whether the delayed regulatory items (claims 15465-15468, 16645) were resolved. Second, the misattributed Mara Group claims should be removed.
A. 1. Did the patent portfolios produce meaningful revenue? The record announces that revenue began (claim 21014) but gives no amounts. 2. What was the scale, cost and timeline of the crypto pivot? No figures are on record. 3. How was the 2018 cash shortfall (claim 15462) resolved? 4. How much has shareholder ownership been diluted through equity plans and share issuances?
Frequently asked
2026-09-27A. The disclosed history shows three distinct phases. In 2013 the company renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045) and moved away from real estate (claim 21044) into acquiring, developing and monetizing intellectual property (claim 21043). By early 2014 it was a patent-assertion business that bought portfolios from firms like Siemens, Delphi, Intergraph, Zhone, TeleCommunication Systems and Mosaid (claims 21031-21036, 21016). It said it had no R&D spending (claim 21027) and earned revenue through licensing and enforcement litigation (claims 21014, 21025). In 2015 it briefly offered an 'Opus Analytics' SaaS tool (claim 21010). By August 2018 it disclosed a push into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459), which is the business the MARA ticker is known for today.
A. The most recent strategic claim on file, from August 2018, is 'cryptocurrency mining expansion' (claim 15459). The record stops in October 2018, so this dossier does not capture the company's later bitcoin-mining scale-up, hash-rate targets, or treasury strategy. Anyone relying on this page for the present-day strategy should treat it as out of date.
A. No customers are named. In the patent era, the named counterparties were sellers of patents, some paired with licensing agreements (Siemens, claim 21018; Zhone, claim 21022), and a key supplier, IP Navigation Group (claim 21024). None of these are customers in the ordinary sense. For the mining business, no customers, hosting partners or equipment suppliers appear in the record.
A. Documented as done: the name change (claim 21045), the patent portfolio acquisitions (2014 claims), and the August 2018 board appointments of Michael Berg, S. Michael Rudolph and Fred Thiel (claims 15435-15437), after which the company said it had regained NASDAQ listing-rule compliance (claim 15438). Announced but unwound: the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated in June 2018 (claim 15477) with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). Several deadlines are marked 'delayed', including the FY2017 10-K (claim 16645) and NASDAQ compliance steps (claims 15465-15468). These status labels come from automated extraction and may overstate the problem. For example, the directors were appointed before the January 2019 deadline, so claims 15465 and 15467 appear to have been met.
A. Yes, in 2018. An August 2018 filing flagged uncertainty about having 12 months of cash runway (claim 15462). Directors resigned around the collapse of the Global Bit Ventures deal (claim 15476), which pushed the company out of NASDAQ board-composition compliance until replacements were seated (claims 15467, 15438). An interim CEO, Merrick D. Okamoto, was in place in April 2018 (claim 16648). The company also reserved 10,000,000 shares for a 2018 equity plan (claim 15460) and disclosed 2.5 million unvested options that accelerate on a change of control (claim 15386). Both are potential sources of shareholder dilution.
A. Probably not. The April 2013 claims about operations in 26 countries, an African presence in 19 countries, the Mara Foundation, and executives Ashish J. Thakkar and Jagdish Thakkar (claims 20897-20903), plus the 2014 UN Women and EY partnerships (claims 20895, 20896), look like they describe Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate. The shared 'Mara' name likely caused the mix-up. Treat these claims as likely misattributed until they are verified.
A. Watch for filings after October 2018 that document the mining business: machine counts, hash rate, bitcoin produced, energy and hosting agreements, and named counterparties. Also watch for whether the 2018 cash-runway warning (claim 15462) was resolved through financing, and how much dilution followed. Finally, check whether any patent-era licensing or litigation obligations carried forward.
A. (1) The record ends in 2018, so what has the mining business actually delivered versus announced since then? (2) Which entity-resolution errors, such as the Mara Group claims, remain in the dataset? (3) What revenue did the patent portfolio really produce? Claim 21014 notes that revenue generation began but gives no figures. (4) Do the automated 'delayed' labels on 2018 compliance deadlines reflect real misses, or are they extraction artifacts? (5) Who, if anyone, are the company's named commercial counterparties today?
Frequently asked
2026-09-27A. The filings on record describe a small company moving into cryptocurrency mining. In mid-2019 it disclosed about 1,400 Bitcoin mining units deployed (claim 15220) in a leased Quebec facility of 26,700 sq ft (claim 15230). It had 3 full-time employees (claim 15222). It also bought a cryptocurrency patent from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218), with a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special-purpose entity (claim 15223).
A. Expanding cryptocurrency mining (claims 15459, 15221). In June 2019 it also said it planned to mine Ether (claim 15231). A planned merger with Global Bit Ventures, which would have accelerated the move, was terminated in June 2018 (claim 15477). The record ties that termination to a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claim 15461). Growth was funded through equity: a shelf registration and an at-the-market offering with H.C. Wainwright of up to $7,472,417 (claims 15228, 15203), at a 3% sales commission (claim 15204).
A. None are named. As a self-mining operation, its revenue comes from mined cryptocurrency rather than contracted customers. The counterparties that are named are not customers. They are a failed merger partner (Global Bit Ventures), a patent seller (XpresSpa Group) and a sales agent (H.C. Wainwright). Unnamed providers of security services and financial operations management are also mentioned (claims 15199, 15200).
A. Delivered or stated as fact: about 1,400 mining units deployed (claim 15220), the Quebec lease (claim 15219), the patent purchase (claim 15218), and new board appointments in August 2018. Those appointments included Michael Berg, Fred Thiel and S. Michael Rudolph (claims 15435, 15437, 15436). After them, the company said it had regained compliance with Nasdaq listing rules (claim 15438). Announced but not shown as delivered on this record: Ether mining (claim 15231), the broader mining expansion (claim 15459) and full use of the $7.47M ATM program (claim 15203).
A. Yes, repeatedly. In 2018 it had board and committee deficiencies (claims 15465, 15466, 15467, 15468). It regained compliance in August 2018 (claim 15438). It then faced a $1.00 minimum bid price deadline (claim 15383) and obtained approval for a reverse stock split (claim 15332). A new listing-rule violation followed in May 2019 (claim 15243), then a minimum-equity compliance deadline (claim 15196). Earlier, in 2018, its 10-K filing was flagged as delayed (claim 15645).
A. Leadership changed in 2018. Merrick Okamoto became interim CEO in April 2018 (claim 16648) and then Executive Chairman and CEO in October 2018. His base salary was $350,000 (claim 15388), with 5,000,000 stock options (claim 15389). David Lieberman became CFO at $180,000 (claims 15390, 15391). On finances, the company disclosed uncertainty about having 12 months of cash in both 2018 and 2019 (claims 15462, 15197). That is a going-concern-style warning.
A. Four things. First, whether the mining fleet grew beyond about 1,400 units (claim 15220). Second, whether Ether mining actually started (claim 15231). Third, how much of the ATM capacity was used and how much shareholders were diluted as a result (claim 15203). Fourth, how the Nasdaq equity and bid-price issues were resolved (claims 15196, 15383). The Quebec lease ran through November 2022 (claim 15229), so what happened to it at that point is also worth checking.
A. There are three. First, the record shown ends in mid-2019, so it does not cover the company's later large-scale expansion. Readers should not treat it as current. Second, many 'delayed' statuses come from automated extraction applied to past deadlines, and some conflict with later claims. For example, the 2018 Nasdaq deficiencies are marked delayed even though compliance was regained (claim 15438). Those labels need human review. Third, no revenue, hashrate or Bitcoin-production figures appear in the claims shown, so operating results cannot be judged from this record alone.
Frequently asked
2026-09-27A. In the filings on record (2018 to mid-2019), Marathon is a small cryptocurrency miner. It has disclosed Bitcoin mining operations (claim 15221), about 1,400 mining machines deployed (claim 15220), a 26,700 sq ft mining facility in Quebec (claim 15230), and 3 full-time employees (claim 15222). It also bought cryptocurrency-related patents from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and holds a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special-purpose entity (claim 15223). Note that the claims supplied here end around July 2019, so this describes the early company, not its later scale.
A. The strategy was to expand cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459), with stated plans to also mine Ether (claim 15231), funded mainly by selling stock. The main funding tools were an at-the-market (ATM) equity program of up to $7,472,417 through H.C. Wainwright at a 3% commission (claims 15202, 15203, 15204), a matching shelf registration (claims 15217, 15228), shareholder approval to issue more than 20% of its shares in non-public deals (claim 15333), and authorization for a reverse stock split (claim 15332). A planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated in June 2018, with a break-up fee paid in 3,000,000 shares (claims 15477, 15461).
A. None are named. A miner earns cryptocurrency from the network rather than selling to customers, so the relevant counterparties are vendors and financiers. The named counterparties are H.C. Wainwright, the ATM sales agent (claim 15202), and XpresSpa Group, the seller of the patents (claim 15218). Providers of 24-hour security and financial operations management are mentioned but not named (claims 15199, 15200).
A. Delivered or in place: the Quebec facility lease, running through November 2022 at $120,150 (claim 15219); 1,400 mining units deployed (claim 15220); the patent purchase (claim 15218); new independent directors Michael Berg, Fred Thiel and S. Michael Rudolph (claims 15435, 15436, 15437); and regained Nasdaq board-composition compliance in August 2018 (claim 15438). Announced but not shown as delivered: the broader mining expansion (claim 15459) and Ether mining (claim 15231). Many dated items are marked 'delayed' in the dossier. That label comes from automated tracking of passed deadlines. It does not by itself confirm a real slip, and at least one of these items, Nasdaq board compliance, was in fact resolved (claim 15438).
A. Merrick D. Okamoto became interim CEO in April 2018 (claim 16648) and was named Executive Chairman and CEO in October 2018. His base salary is $350,000 (claim 15388) and he holds 5,000,000 stock options (claim 15389), of which 2,500,000 unvested options accelerate on a change of control (claim 15386). David Lieberman became CFO at a $180,000 salary with 200,000 options (claims 15390, 15391, 15392). The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserves 10,000,000 shares (claim 15460).
A. 1) Survival: the company twice flagged uncertainty about having enough cash for the next 12 months (claims 15462, 15197). 2) Listing risk: it received repeated Nasdaq deficiency notices, covering the $1.00 minimum bid price (claim 15383), a May 2019 listing-rule violation (claim 15243), and minimum equity (claim 15196). 3) Dilution: the ATM program, the approval for issuances above 20%, the reverse split authority and the 10M-share equity plan all point to heavy reliance on issuing stock (claims 15203, 15333, 15332, 15460). 4) Filing discipline: the 2018 10-K deadline is marked delayed (claim 16645).
A. Watch for: whether the Nasdaq bid-price and equity deficiencies were cured or led to a reverse split (claims 15383, 15196, 15332); how much of the $7.47M ATM was actually sold, and at what dilution (claim 15203); whether the going-concern doubt was lifted (claim 15197); whether Ether mining or the machine count moved beyond announcements (claims 15231, 15220); and what happened to the Quebec site when its lease ended in November 2022 (claim 15219).
A. It is incomplete. The claims provided cover April 2018 to about July 2019, and the listing appears cut off mid-record. Later events, including the company's growth into a large Bitcoin miner, are not reflected here and should not be inferred from these claims. Most claims were extracted automatically and batch-reviewed in September 2026, so the 'stated' and 'delayed' statuses should be checked against the source filings before anyone relies on them.
Frequently asked
2026-09-26A. In the filings captured here (2018 to mid-2019), Marathon is a very small cryptocurrency miner. It disclosed plans to expand crypto mining (claim 15459), deployed 1,400 bitcoin mining machines (claim 15220) at a 26,700 sq ft leased facility in Quebec (claim 15230), and floated ether mining plans (claim 15231). It also held crypto-related patents, including a purchase from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special-purpose entity (claim 15223). It reported only 3 full-time employees (claim 15222). This record stops in mid-2019, so it does not describe the company's later scale or strategy.
A. The strategy was to build a mining business while keeping the company funded and listed. After a planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated in June 2018 (claim 15477), with a 3,000,000-share break-up fee disclosed (claim 15461), management focused on mining in Quebec. It funded operations through equity: a 10,000,000-share incentive plan (claims 15460, 15373), shareholder approval for issuances above 20% (claim 15333), a reverse-split authorization (claim 15332), and a $7,472,417 at-the-market offering run by H.C. Wainwright at a 3% commission (claims 15203, 15204, 15202).
A. None are named, and a miner of this kind would not be expected to have them: revenue comes from block rewards, not from contracts with buyers. The named counterparties are all financing or transaction partners: H.C. Wainwright (sales agent, claim 15202), XpresSpa Group (patent seller, claim 15218), and Global Bit Ventures (terminated merger, claim 15477). The operator of the Granby facility, and the firms providing security and financial operations services, are described but not named in the extracted claims (claims 15198, 15199, 15200).
A. Delivered and disclosed as done: the 1,400-machine deployment (claim 15220), the Quebec lease (claims 15229, 15219), the patent purchase (claim 15218), the board rebuild with Michael Berg, S. Michael Rudolph and Fred Thiel (claims 15435-15437), Merrick Okamoto's move from interim CEO to CEO and Chairman (claims 15648, 15384), and a Nasdaq notice that the company had regained compliance in August 2018 (claim 15438). Announced but not confirmed in this record: ether mining (claim 15231) and broader mining expansion (claim 15459). Many deadline claims are marked 'delayed', but that label was applied automatically once the date passed. It does not mean a miss was verified. For example, the independent-director requirement (claim 15465) appears to have been met by the August 2018 appointments.
A. Not clearly. In August 2018 it disclosed uncertainty about having 12 months of cash (claim 15462), and by July 2019 it again addressed whether operating cash would last twelve months (claim 15197). It depended on stock sales, and its equity awards were large relative to its size: the CEO received 5,000,000 options (claim 15389) plus a $350,000 salary (claim 15388). Readers should treat the business in this period as small and dependent on outside financing.
A. They recurred. The company received notices about board composition and committee rules in July 2018 (claims 15466-15468) and regained compliance in August 2018 (claim 15438). It then faced a $1.00 minimum bid price deadline (claim 15383), withdrew a proxy proposal over Nasdaq Rule 5635(b) (claim 15372), and received another listing-rule violation in May 2019 with a new compliance-plan deadline (claims 15243, 15244). The record also shows a delayed 10-K filing in 2018 (claim 16645).
A. Within this record, three things matter most. First, whether the May 2019 Nasdaq issue was resolved (claims 15243, 15244). Second, how much of the $7.47M ATM was drawn before its July 2022 expiry (claims 15203, 15206). Third, whether the Quebec lease ran to November 2022 or ended early (claim 15229). Beyond that, the dossier needs claims after mid-2019. The company's later history, including any change in scale, sites, or name, is not reflected here and should be verified against newer filings.
A. 1) Coverage: the claim list ends at July 2019 (the last entry, claim 15196, is cut off), so this dossier cannot describe the company today. 2) Status labels: most 'delayed' tags come from automated extraction and need a human check against later filings. 3) Undisclosed economics: hashrate, bitcoin mined, power costs, and the facility operator's identity do not appear in the claims. 4) Dilution: the total effect of the incentive plan, the break-up shares, the 20%+ issuance approval, and the ATM on existing shareholders is not quantified.
Frequently asked
2026-09-26A. The record shows a very small company moving into cryptocurrency mining. By mid-2019 it disclosed about 1,400 Bitcoin mining machines deployed (claim 15220) in a leased Quebec facility of 26,700 square feet (claim 15230). It also held a patent portfolio: it bought cryptocurrency patents from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and kept a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special-purpose entity (claim 15223). It reported only 3 full-time employees (claim 15222). Note that the dossier's claims shown here stop around July 2019, so this describes the company as it was then, not today.
A. The stated direction was to expand cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459), with plans to also mine Ether (claim 15231). Funding came from selling stock. The company filed a shelf registration of $7,472,417 (claims 15228, 15217) and set up an at-the-market offering with H.C. Wainwright for up to the same amount (claims 15202, 15203), paying a 3% sales commission (claim 15204). Its equity incentive plan reserved 10,000,000 shares (claims 15460, 15373).
A. None are named. A self-operated miner earns cryptocurrency rather than selling to customers, and the dossier lists no customers. The only named counterparties are XpresSpa Group, which sold it patents; H.C. Wainwright, its offering sales agent; and Global Bit Ventures, whose planned merger was terminated in 2018 (claim 15477). Vendors for security and financial operations services are mentioned without names (claims 15199, 15200).
A. Disclosed as done: about 1,400 mining machines deployed (claim 15220), the Quebec facility leased (claims 15230, 15219), the patent purchase completed (claim 15218), a new board and committee chairs appointed (claims 15435-15437), and a new CEO and CFO installed (claims 15387, 15390). Nasdaq listing compliance was reported as regained in August 2018 (claim 15438). Announced but not shown as delivered: Ether mining (claim 15231) and broader mining expansion (claim 15459). The record does not show how much of the $7.47M offering capacity was actually raised (claim 15203).
A. Both were fragile. The record has repeated Nasdaq problems: board and committee composition deadlines (claims 15465-15468), a $1.00 minimum bid price deadline of 2019-04-15 (claim 15383), a new listing rule violation in May 2019 (claim 15243), and a minimum-equity compliance filing due 2019-11-13 (claim 15196). The company also flagged uncertainty about having enough cash for the next twelve months, twice (claims 15462, 15197). A reverse stock split was authorized (claim 15332), a common tool for fixing a low share price.
A. Within this record, the key items are: whether the Nasdaq minimum-equity issue was resolved by the 2019-11-13 deadline (claim 15196); whether the cash-runway concern cleared by 2020-07-31 (claim 15197); how much of the offering program was used before it expired on 2022-07-19 (claims 15203, 15206); and what happened to the Quebec operations when the lease ran out in November 2022 (claim 15219). Later filings are needed to follow the company past mid-2019.
A. 1) Many deadlines are labeled 'delayed,' but their history shows automated extraction flipping between 'stated' and 'delayed' in September 2026. Treat these as unverified labels, not confirmed misses. For example, claim 15467 is marked delayed even though claim 15438 reports compliance was regained. 2) The CEO's option grant appears as both 2,500,000 shares (claims 15385, 15386) and 5,000,000 shares (claim 15389). This may be two tranches or an extraction error. 3) The Global Bit Ventures break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461) needs its terms confirmed. 4) This dossier covers only 2018 to mid-2019, so it says nothing about the company's later scale or strategy.
Frequently asked
2026-09-26A. In the period covered, it was a very small cryptocurrency miner. It deployed about 1,400 Bitcoin mining machines (claim 15220) at a leased 26,700 sq ft facility in Quebec (claims 15230, 15198). It also held cryptocurrency-related patents, including a $250,000 patent purchase from XpresSpa Group (claim 15218) and a 30% interest in a patent special-purpose entity (claim 15223). It reported just 3 full-time employees (claim 15222).
A. The strategy was to expand crypto mining (claim 15459) and possibly add Ether mining (claim 15231), funded by selling stock. A planned merger with Global Bit Ventures, which would have scaled the business, was terminated in June 2018 (claim 15477), with a break-up fee paid in shares (3,000,000 shares, claim 15461). After that, growth depended on equity raises: a $7,472,417 shelf registration (claims 15228, 15217) and an at-the-market offering of the same size through H.C. Wainwright at a 3% commission (claims 15202, 15203, 15204).
A. None are named, and none would be expected. A Bitcoin miner earns block rewards and fees from the network, not from contracted customers. The named counterparties in the record are suppliers and financiers: H.C. Wainwright as sales agent (claim 15202), XpresSpa Group as patent seller (claim 15218), and the landlord of the Quebec data center lease (claim 15219).
A. Delivered and disclosed: about 1,400 mining units deployed (claim 15220), the Quebec facility lease in place through November 2022 at $120,150 (claim 15219), the patent acquisition (claim 15218), and three new independent directors whose appointment regained Nasdaq board compliance in August 2018 (claims 15435, 15436, 15437, 15438). Announced but not shown as done in this record: Ether mining (claim 15231), broader mining expansion (claim 15459), and use of the reverse stock split authorization (claim 15332).
A. It was fragile. Management disclosed uncertainty about having 12 months of cash, in both 2018 (claim 15462) and 2019 (claim 15197). It received several Nasdaq deficiency notices: board and committee composition (claims 15465, 15467, 15468), a $1.00 minimum bid price (claim 15383), a new rule violation in May 2019 (claim 15243), and minimum stockholders' equity (claim 15196). Several of these deadlines are marked 'delayed', which means no fulfillment is recorded in the dossier, not necessarily that the company confirmed a miss.
A. Merrick D. Okamoto became interim CEO in 2018 (claim 16648) and was later appointed Executive Chairman and CEO (claims 15384, 15387). His base salary was $350,000 (claim 15388), and he received 5,000,000 stock options (claim 15389), of which 2,500,000 unvested options accelerate on a change of control (claim 15386). David Lieberman became CFO at a $180,000 salary (claims 15390, 15391). Fred Thiel joined the board as Compensation Committee chair (claim 15437). The board also approved a 10,000,000-share equity incentive plan (claims 15460, 15373).
A. The main things to track are whether the mining fleet grew beyond about 1,400 machines, whether Ether mining ever started, and how much of the ATM program was actually sold, since that measures shareholder dilution. It also matters whether the Nasdaq bid-price and equity deficiencies were cured or handled through a reverse split, and whether the going-concern warnings went away. Finally, watch what happened when the Quebec lease and the ATM agreement reached their end dates (claims 15219, 15206).
A. The record stops in mid-2019, and the last entry (claim 15200) is cut off. Everything after that, including any later scale-up, is not covered here and should not be inferred from this file. Many 'delayed' statuses were assigned automatically when a deadline passed without a recorded follow-up. Some may be resolved events that simply weren't captured; for example, the board compliance issue shows as regained (claim 15438). Some claims also appear twice with slightly different wording (e.g., claims 15384 and 15387, and 15217 and 15228), so counts of 'promises' overstate the number of distinct commitments.
Frequently asked
2026-09-26A. Over the period these claims cover (April 2018 to July 2019), Marathon was a very small cryptocurrency miner. It described mining expansion as its business direction (claim 15459) and later reported active mining operations (claim 15221). It deployed about 1,400 bitcoin mining units (claim 15220) at a leased Quebec data center of 26,700 sq ft (claims 15230, 15219) and ran mining at a Granby facility (claim 15198). It also held patent assets: it bought cryptocurrency patents from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and kept a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special-purpose entity (claim 15223). It reported 3 full-time employees (claim 15222). This record does not cover the company's later growth.
A. The strategy was to pivot fully into crypto mining while staying listed and funded. The company first pursued a merger with Global Bit Ventures, which was terminated in June 2018 with a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claims 15477, 15461). It then expanded bitcoin mining in Quebec and floated plans to mine Ether (claim 15231). It paid for this with equity: a $7,472,417 shelf and at-the-market program through H.C. Wainwright at a 3% commission (claims 15228, 15203, 15204), shareholder approval to issue more than 20% of shares in non-public deals (claim 15333), and authorization for a reverse stock split (claim 15332).
A. None are named. A bitcoin miner earns block rewards and fees from the network rather than selling to contracted customers, so there may be no customers in the usual sense. The partnership claims name only H.C. Wainwright, as sales agent for share offerings (claim 15202), and XpresSpa Group, as seller of patents (claim 15218). The counterparty for the Granby facility and the 'financial operations management' partnership (claims 15198, 15200) is not identified.
A. Delivered or stated as done: about 1,400 mining units deployed (claim 15220), the Quebec lease signed (claim 15219), the patent purchase closed (claim 15218), the ATM facility put in place (claim 15202), and three independent directors appointed in August 2018, after which Nasdaq compliance was reported as regained (claims 15435, 15436, 15437, 15438). Announced but not shown as delivered: the Ether mining plans (claim 15231) and the broader mining expansion (claim 15459). The Global Bit Ventures merger was announced and then abandoned (claim 15477).
A. They recurred. The company missed a 10-K deadline (claim 16645) and lost directors in June 2018 (claim 15476). It then faced several Nasdaq deadlines: board independence (claims 15466, 15467), the compensation committee (claim 15468), the $1.00 minimum bid price (claim 15383), a new violation in May 2019 (claims 15243, 15244), and minimum equity (claim 15196). Twice it disclosed doubt about having 12 months of cash (claims 15462, 15197). Many of these are tagged 'delayed', but that label came from automated extraction and seems to reflect only that the deadline date passed. For example, board compliance was reported as regained in August 2018 (claim 15438), even though related deadline claims still say 'delayed'. Check each one against the filings.
A. Merrick Okamoto became interim CEO in April 2018 and was named Executive Chairman and CEO in October 2018 (claims 16648, 15387). His base salary was $350,000 (claim 15388), and he received 5,000,000 options (claim 15389), of which 2,500,000 were unvested and accelerate on a change of control (claim 15386). David Lieberman became CFO at a $180,000 salary with 200,000 options (claims 15390, 15391, 15392). Fred Thiel joined the board as compensation committee chair (claim 15437). The 2018 equity plan reserved 10,000,000 shares (claim 15373). Compared with 3 employees and a program of roughly $7.5M, the equity pool is large.
A. 1. Whether the Quebec lease ran to its November 2022 term (claim 15229) and whether the ~1,400 units were expanded or replaced. 2. Whether Ether mining (claim 15231) ever started. 3. How much of the $7,472,417 ATM (claim 15203) was used, and how much existing shareholders were diluted. 4. Whether the reverse split and the bid-price and equity compliance issues were resolved. 5. Who the Granby and financial-operations counterparties are. The largest gap: the claims supplied here stop around mid-2019, so this FAQ says nothing about the company's later scale-up. Many 'delayed' statuses are mechanical and need manual review before anyone relies on them.
Frequently asked
2026-09-24A. In the period covered here (2018 to mid-2019), Marathon is a very small cryptocurrency miner that also holds patents. It runs bitcoin mining equipment, about 1,400 units per claim 15220, in a leased facility in Quebec of about 26,700 sq ft (claim 15230). It had 3 full-time employees (claim 15222). It bought a cryptocurrency patent portfolio from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and holds a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223). Note that the claims supplied for this FAQ stop at July 2019, so nothing later is reflected here.
A. The strategy is to grow cryptocurrency mining (claims 15459, 15221), with stated plans to add Ether mining (claim 15231). The company funds this mainly by issuing new stock rather than from operating cash. Its plan to expand by merging with Global Bit Ventures was terminated in June 2018 (claim 15477), and the company agreed to a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claim 15461). Growth now depends on raising capital through its shelf registration and at-the-market offering.
A. None are named. A bitcoin miner has no customers in the usual sense: it earns block rewards and fees from the network. The named counterparties are service providers and deal partners. They include H.C. Wainwright, the sales agent for the at-the-market stock offering (claim 15202), XpresSpa Group, which sold the patents (claim 15218), and Global Bit Ventures, whose merger was terminated (claim 15477). The partner running operations at the Granby facility, which also provides 24-hour security and financial operations management, is not named (claims 15198, 15199, 15200).
A. Delivered or disclosed as done: the Quebec facility lease, running through November 2022 at a disclosed $120,150 (claim 15219). The mining fleet of about 1,400 units (claim 15220). The patent purchase (claim 15218). A rebuilt board in August 2018, with Michael Berg, S. Michael Rudolph and Fred Thiel as committee chairs (claims 15435–15437). Merrick Okamoto moving from interim CEO to CEO and Executive Chairman, with a $350,000 salary and 5,000,000 options (claims 15387–15389). Announced but not shown as delivered in this record: Ether mining (claim 15231) and the broader mining expansion (claim 15459).
A. Most are deadlines that passed without a later claim in this record confirming the outcome. This does not necessarily mean the company missed them. Examples include the 10-K filing deadline (claim 16645), Nasdaq compliance-plan and listing-rule deadlines (claims 15466, 15467, 15244), the $1.00 minimum bid price deadline (claim 15383), and the reverse split authorization (claim 15332). Several of these claims show both 'delayed' and 'stated' transitions from automated extraction, so treat the status labels as provisional.
A. The filings themselves raise doubt. In August 2018 the company disclosed uncertainty about having 12 months of cash (claim 15462). In July 2019 it disclosed that operating cash might not cover the next 12 months (claim 15197). To raise money it set up a $7,472,417 at-the-market stock offering with a 3% agent commission (claims 15203, 15204). Shareholders also approved non-public share issuances above the 20% threshold (claim 15333). Together these point to continued dilution of existing shareholders.
A. Compliance has gone back and forth. In July 2018 Marathon was out of compliance with board and committee rules (claims 15465–15468). It regained compliance in August 2018 after adding independent directors (claim 15438). By October 2018 it faced a $1.00 minimum bid price deadline (claim 15383) and sought authority for a reverse stock split (claim 15332). In May 2019 it disclosed a new listing-rule violation, with a compliance plan due July 2019 (claims 15243, 15244).
A. 1. Whether the company kept its Nasdaq listing after the 2019 violation, and whether the reverse split was carried out. 2. How much of the $7.47M at-the-market offering was actually sold, and at what dilution. 3. Whether Ether mining or any fleet expansion beyond about 1,400 units ever happened. 4. Whether the patent assets produced any value. 5. Who the unnamed Granby operating partner is. The largest gap is the record itself: the claims supplied here end mid-2019, so later events are not covered and should not be assumed.
Frequently asked
2026-09-23A. Through mid-2019, Marathon was a small cryptocurrency miner. It disclosed about 1,400 bitcoin mining machines deployed (claim 15220) at a leased facility of roughly 26,700 square feet in Quebec (claim 15230). The lease ran through November 2022 at a disclosed figure of $120,150 (claims 15219, 15229). It also owned a cryptocurrency patent bought from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and held a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special-purpose entity (claim 15223). It reported just 3 full-time employees (claim 15222).
A. The claims shown here run from April 2018 to about July 2019, and the list is cut off partway through a July 31, 2019 entry. Nothing in this FAQ covers the company's later history. Read every answer as a snapshot of the 2018–2019 period, not as the company's current position.
A. The company described a pivot toward cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459) and also stated plans to mine Ether (claim 15231). An earlier route to scale, a merger with Global Bit Ventures, was terminated in June 2018 (claim 15477) with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). Growth was funded mainly through equity. That included a shelf registration and an at-the-market (ATM) offering of up to $7,472,417 through H.C. Wainwright at a 3% commission (claims 15203, 15204, 15202). It also had shareholder approval to issue more than 20% of its shares in non-public deals (claim 15333).
A. None are named, and that is expected: a bitcoin miner earns block rewards and fees from the network, not revenue from contracted customers. The named counterparties are service and financing parties. These are H.C. Wainwright (ATM sales agent), XpresSpa Group (patent seller), and Global Bit Ventures (the terminated merger partner). The operator of the Granby, Quebec facility provided mining hosting, 24-hour security, and financial operations management, but that operator is not named in these claims (claims 15198, 15199, 15200).
A. Delivered or in place: about 1,400 deployed miners (claim 15220), the Quebec facility lease (claim 15219), the patent acquisition (claim 15218), a new board with audit, nominating, and compensation committee chairs (claims 15435–15437), and a permanent leadership team. Merrick Okamoto went from interim CEO to Executive Chairman and CEO at a $350,000 salary (claims 16648, 15387, 15388). David Lieberman became CFO at $180,000 (claims 15390, 15391). Announced but not shown as done in this record: Ether mining (claim 15231), broader mining expansion (claim 15459), and a reverse stock split, which was authorized but still marked delayed (claim 15332).
A. Listing compliance problems came up repeatedly. In July 2018 the company faced board-composition and committee deadlines (claims 15465–15468), and it reported regaining compliance in August 2018 (claim 15438). It then received a $1.00 minimum bid price deadline of April 15, 2019 (claim 15383). A new listing-rule violation was disclosed in May 2019 (claims 15243, 15244), followed by a minimum-equity compliance filing due in November 2019 (claim 15196). Its 10-K due April 15, 2018 was also flagged as delayed (claim 16645).
A. They were large. The CEO received 5,000,000 stock options (claim 15389), described elsewhere as two 2.5 million-share tranches. The unvested 2.5 million carry change-of-control acceleration (claims 15385, 15386). The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserved 10,000,000 shares (claims 15460, 15373). Directors received 50,000 options each (claims 15394–15396). For context, at that point the company had 3 employees and disclosed doubts about having 12 months of cash (claims 15222, 15462).
A. 1) Whether the company could keep operating: management flagged uncertainty about its 12-month cash runway (claim 15462). 2) Whether it resolved its Nasdaq bid-price and equity deficiencies, possibly via the authorized reverse split (claims 15383, 15196, 15332). 3) Whether the Ether mining plans and fleet expansion ever happened (claims 15231, 15459). 4) How much dilution the ATM and the 20% issuance authority caused (claims 15203, 15333). The 'delayed' labels in this dataset come from automated extraction. Many may just mean no follow-up was recorded, not a confirmed miss, so check them against later filings.
Frequently asked
2026-09-23A. In the disclosed filings (2018 to mid-2019), Marathon is a very small cryptocurrency miner. It reported about 1,400 Bitcoin mining machines deployed (claim 15220) at a leased facility of roughly 26,700 square feet in Quebec (claim 15230), with only 3 full-time employees (claim 15222). It also bought a portfolio of cryptocurrency-related patents from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and holds a 30% waterfall interest in the patent entity (claim 15223). Note that this dossier stops in mid-2019, so it does not describe the company as it exists today.
A. Management described expanding its cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459) and floated plans to mine Ether (claim 15231). It funded operations by selling stock. That included a $7,472,417 shelf registration (claims 15228 and 15217) and an at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright of the same size (claims 15202 and 15203), with a 3% sales commission (claim 15204). It also obtained approval to issue non-public securities above the 20% threshold (claim 15333) and authorization for a reverse stock split (claim 15332). In practice, the strategy amounted to keeping a small mining operation running and staying listed while raising equity capital.
A. None are named, and none would be expected. A Bitcoin miner earns block rewards and fees from the network rather than selling to customers. The only named counterparties in the record are service and financing relationships: H.C. Wainwright as sales agent (claim 15202), XpresSpa Group as the patent seller (claim 15218), and an unnamed operator at the Granby facility that provides mining operations, 24-hour security, and financial operations management (claims 15198, 15199 and 15200).
A. Delivered or documented: 1,400 miners deployed (claim 15220), the Quebec lease through November 2022 at $120,150 (claim 15219), the patent purchase (claim 15218), new independent directors appointed in August 2018 (claims 15435, 15436 and 15437), Nasdaq compliance regained on 2018-08-21 (claim 15438), and Merrick Okamoto named Executive Chairman and CEO at a $350,000 salary with 5,000,000 options (claims 15387, 15388 and 15389). Announced but not shown as delivered: the Ether mining plans (claim 15231) and the broader mining expansion (claim 15459). The planned Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated, with a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claims 15477 and 15461).
A. The 'delayed' labels were assigned by automated extraction on 2026-09-15 and 2026-09-20. They appear to be triggered simply because the promised-by date has passed. Examples include the late 10-K (claim 16645), Nasdaq compliance deadlines (claims 15467, 15466 and 15383), and even the lease end date (claim 15229) and the ATM expiry (claim 15203). Several of these, such as the lease term and the agreement termination date, are contractual end dates rather than missed promises. Readers should not take 'delayed' as a verified finding that the company missed a commitment without checking the underlying filing.
A. The company repeatedly struggled to stay listed on Nasdaq. The record shows board and committee deficiencies after directors resigned in 2018 (claims 15476, 15465 and 15468), a $1.00 minimum bid price deadline (claim 15383), a new listing rule violation in May 2019 (claim 15243) with a compliance plan due 2019-07-05 (claim 15244), and a minimum-equity compliance filing due 2019-11-13 (claim 15196). Its 2018 10-K was also filed late (claim 16645). The company flagged uncertainty about having 12 months of cash runway, which is a going-concern-type warning (claim 15462).
A. Within the record's timeframe, the key items are whether the company resolved its 2019 Nasdaq equity and bid-price issues (claims 15196 and 15383) and how much of the $7,472,417 ATM capacity it drew down (claim 15203), which would dilute shareholders. Also watch whether the Ether mining plan was ever acted on (claim 15231) and what happened to the Quebec lease, which ran through November 2022 (claim 15219). Most importantly, a reader needs the filings from after mid-2019, which are missing from this dossier.
A. 1) The claim list is cut off at mid-2019, so anything after that date is simply absent here and cannot be judged from this record. 2) Several 'delayed' statuses are machine-assigned and may be wrong (see claims 15229 and 15206). 3) The Granby facility operator, a key dependency for mining, security and finance functions, is not named (claims 15198 and 15200). 4) Nothing in the record shows the economic return on the patent purchase (claim 15218). 5) Heavy option grants to the CEO relative to company size (claims 15389 and 15386) raise questions about incentives and dilution.
Frequently asked
2026-09-22A. The disclosed claims show a company in the middle of a pivot: it is standing up a bitcoin mining operation while still holding legacy patent-monetization assets. On the mining side, it leased a 26,700 square foot facility in Quebec (claim 15230) and deployed 1,400 bitcoin mining units there (claim 15220), with operations run at the Granby site (claim 15198). On the patent side, it retained a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223) and separately bought a cryptocurrency-related patent from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218). As of July 2019 it reported 3 full-time employees (claim 15222) — the mining, security, and financial-operations functions were handled through third-party arrangements (claims 15198, 15199, 15200).
A. Expand cryptocurrency mining (claims 15459, 15221), funded by equity issuance rather than operating cash. The company authorized non-public securities issuance of up to 20% of shares (claim 15333), maintained a shelf registration of $7,472,417 (claims 15228, 15217), and in July 2019 signed an At The Market offering agreement with H.C. Wainwright for that same $7,472,417 capacity at a 3% sales-agent commission (claims 15202, 15203, 15204). It also disclosed plans to mine Ether alongside bitcoin (claim 15231). An earlier strategy — acquiring mining company Global Bit Ventures — was abandoned when that merger was terminated in June 2018 (claim 15477).
A. There are none in the record, and that is expected rather than a gap in disclosure. A bitcoin miner sells into an open market and does not have customers in the conventional sense. The named counterparties that do appear are vendors, sellers, and financing partners — H.C. Wainwright as ATM sales agent (claim 15202) and XpresSpa Group as the seller of the acquired patent (claim 15218) — not revenue customers. Anyone modeling this company should treat bitcoin price and network difficulty, not customer concentration, as the demand-side variable. Licensees of the legacy patent portfolio are likewise not named.
A. Delivered and verifiable in the record: a reconstituted board with three committee chairs seated in August 2018 (claims 15435, 15436, 15437), Nasdaq listing compliance regained that same month (claim 15438), a permanent CEO and CFO in place by October 2018 (claims 15387, 15390), a leased Quebec facility (claim 15230), 1,400 miners deployed (claim 15220), the patent purchase closed (claim 15218), and the ATM facility signed (claim 15202). Announced but not shown as completed in the record: Ether mining (claim 15231), which has no follow-through entry; the reverse stock split authorized for year-end 2018 (claim 15332); and the Global Bit Ventures merger, which was terminated with a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claims 15477, 15461).
A. Persistent and recurring — they are the single most common theme in the record. The 2018 10-K filing deadline of April 15, 2018 was missed (claim 16645). Nasdaq corporate-governance deficiencies drove a compliance-plan deadline of August 24, 2018 (claim 15466), an independent-director deadline of January 7, 2019 (claims 15465, 15467), and a compensation-committee deadline of June 28, 2019 (claim 15468). Compliance was regained in August 2018 (claim 15438), but the company then faced a $1.00 minimum bid price deadline of April 15, 2019 (claim 15383), a fresh listing violation in May 2019 (claim 15243) with a compliance plan due July 5, 2019 (claim 15244), and a minimum-equity compliance filing due November 13, 2019 (claim 15196). Separately, management disclosed uncertainty about its 12-month cash runway in August 2018 (claim 15462) — going-concern language.
A. With care. These statuses were assigned by automated extraction, and in this dossier 'delayed' generally means no confirming follow-up entry exists by the promised date — not that a failure has been independently verified. Several items marked delayed almost certainly resolved: the Quebec lease running to November 30, 2022 (claims 15229, 15219) and the ATM termination date of July 19, 2022 (claim 15206) are contract end-dates, not missed promises, and they were flagged only because the record stops before they arrive. Read 'delayed' as 'unconfirmed as of the record's end' and verify against primary filings before repeating it.
A. Management was paid heavily in options against modest cash. The CEO took a $350,000 base salary (claim 15388) with 5,000,000 options (claim 15389); the CFO took $180,000 (claim 15391) with 200,000 options (claim 15392). Directors received 50,000 to 100,000 options each (claims 15393, 15394, 15395, 15396). A separate 2,500,000-option grant to the CEO (claim 15385) and 2,500,000 unvested options carrying change-of-control acceleration (claim 15386) sit against a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve of 10,000,000 shares (claims 15460, 15373). Two implications for a diligence reader: leadership is levered to share price rather than operating cash flow, and the dilution stack is material relative to a company that was simultaneously fighting a $1.00 minimum bid price test (claim 15383).
A. First and most important: this record ends on July 31, 2019. Anything about the company's later scale, its renaming, or its current fleet is outside the dossier — do not assume the 2019 posture describes it today. Within the record, the open questions are (1) whether Ether mining (claim 15231) ever moved past announcement; (2) whether the November 13, 2019 minimum-equity filing (claim 15196) cured the listing deficiency or the reverse split (claim 15332) was needed to do it; (3) how much of the $7,472,417 ATM (claim 15203) was actually drawn and at what dilution; (4) whether 1,400 miners (claim 15220) in a 26,700 square foot facility (claim 15230) generated positive operating cash, given the going-concern flag (claim 15462); and (5) what became of the legacy patent economics (claim 15223), which the record raises but never resolves. The 2019 10-K and subsequent listing correspondence are the documents that would answer all five.
Frequently asked
2026-09-22A. Over the period covered by this dossier the company transitions from a patent-licensing business into cryptocurrency mining. The mining pivot is stated directly in claims 15459 and 15221, and the operational evidence is a leased data center in Granby, Quebec (claim 15198) with roughly 1,400 bitcoin mining units deployed (claim 15220). The legacy patent business does not disappear: in July 2019 the company bought a cryptocurrency-related patent from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and retained a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223). Note the filings here run from April 2018 to roughly mid-2019; anything after that is outside this record.
A. Build out self-mining capacity on cheap Quebec power while keeping a patent-monetization tail. The physical footprint is a 26,700 square foot facility (claim 15230) under a lease running through November 2022 (claims 15229 and 15219, the latter attaching a $120,150 figure). The company also stated an intention to mine Ether alongside bitcoin (claim 15231). Funding is equity-market driven rather than cash-flow driven: a shelf registration of $7,472,417 (claims 15228 and 15217) and an At The Market program of the same size run through H.C. Wainwright (claims 15202, 15203, 15206) at a 3% sales commission (claim 15204) plus $25,000 in counsel expense reimbursement (claim 15205).
A. There are none in this record, and that is the honest answer rather than a gap in the extraction. A self-mining operation earns block rewards from the network, so there is no customer list to disclose in the way a journalist or diligence hire might expect. The named counterparties that do appear are suppliers, sellers, and agents, not buyers: H.C. Wainwright as ATM sales agent (claim 15202), XpresSpa Group as the seller of a patent (claim 15218), and Global Bit Ventures as an acquisition target whose merger was terminated (claim 15477). Any read of this company should be built on hashrate, power cost, and financing terms, not on customer concentration.
A. Delivered and evidenced: the Quebec lease and facility (claims 15230, 15198), roughly 1,400 miners in the ground (claim 15220), the XpresSpa patent purchase (claim 15218), a reconstituted board with Michael Berg as Audit Committee chair (claim 15435), S. Michael Rudolph as Nominating chair (claim 15436) and Fred Thiel as Compensation chair (claim 15437), and a regained Nasdaq listing compliance in August 2018 (claim 15438). Announced but not evidenced in this record: Ether mining (claim 15231) appears as an intention with no follow-through claim. Also terminated rather than delivered: the Global Bit Ventures merger, which ended with a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claims 15477 and 15461).
A. With care, because the label is doing two different jobs. Some entries are genuine slippage, such as the 10-K annual report deadline of April 15, 2018 (claim 16645). But many 'delayed' flags are automated extraction applied to a deadline that has simply passed with no recorded completion event: the compliance plan submissions (claims 15466, 15244), the Nasdaq director and committee deadlines (claims 15465, 15467, 15468), the minimum bid price cure period (claim 15383), the reverse stock split authorization (claim 15332), and even the routine ATM agreement expiry of July 19, 2022 (claims 15206, 15203). A lease running to its stated end date is not a missed promise. Read the underlying event, not the status word.
A. Very small on both counts. Full-time headcount was 3 employees (claim 15222). The company twice disclosed doubt about whether operating cash would cover a twelve-month period (claims 15462 and 15197), which is going-concern language. It repeatedly tripped Nasdaq listing rules, including a stockholders' equity shortfall requiring a compliance filing (claims 15196, 15243) and a minimum bid price failure against the $1.00 threshold (claim 15383). Shareholders were asked to authorize a reverse stock split (claim 15332) and non-public issuance of up to 20% of shares (claim 15333). A reader should treat dilution as the default funding mechanism here.
A. Merrick Okamoto moved from Interim CEO in April 2018 (claim 16648) to Executive Chairman and CEO that October (claims 15387, 15384) at a $350,000 base salary (claim 15388), with 5,000,000 stock options (claim 15389) plus a separate 2.5 million option grant (claim 15385) carrying change-of-control acceleration (claim 15386). David Lieberman came in as CFO at a $180,000 base (claims 15390, 15391) with 200,000 options (claim 15392). Directors received smaller grants of 50,000 to 100,000 options each (claims 15393 through 15396), drawn against a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserving 10,000,000 shares (claims 15460, 15373). The option load is large relative to a three-person company, and the change-of-control acceleration is worth noting given the preceding merger attempt.
A. Four. First, the record here stops around mid-2019, so the entire later bitcoin-cycle expansion that MARA is now known for is not covered by these claims and should not be inferred from them. Second, the stated Ether mining plan (claim 15231) has no follow-up claim confirming it happened. Third, there is no disclosed unit economics anywhere in this record, meaning no power price, no hashrate, no cost per mined coin, which makes the 1,400 machines (claim 15220) impossible to value from the dossier alone. Fourth, the pattern of repeated Nasdaq compliance issues alongside going-concern language (claims 15462, 15197) raises the question of whether the Quebec buildout was ever funded to scale or was gated by the roughly $7.5 million shelf capacity (claim 15228). Watch for subsequent filings that either confirm expanded deployment or show the lease being exited before its November 2022 end.
Frequently asked
2026-09-21A. On the disclosed record it is a company in transition from patent licensing to cryptocurrency mining. It announced a mining expansion in August 2018 (claim 15459) and by mid-2019 described itself as running cryptocurrency mining operations (claim 15221) out of a leased facility in Quebec. The patent side did not disappear entirely — in July 2019 it acquired a cryptocurrency-related patent from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and retained a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223). So it is best read as a small mining operator with a residual patent-monetization tail, not a diversified technology company.
A. Small, on the numbers on record. As of the July 2019 disclosures it had deployed 1,400 bitcoin mining units (claim 15220) in a 26,700 square foot Quebec facility (claim 15230) leased through November 2022 at a disclosed lease value of $120,150 (claim 15219), and it employed 3 full-time people (claim 15222). Mining at the Granby, Quebec site is the only operating location named (claim 15198), with 24-hour security services contracted there (claim 15199). Any reader benchmarking this against the multi-hundred-megawatt scale the company is associated with today should note the dossier does not carry those later disclosures.
A. There are none. The record names no customers at all, which is consistent with the business model: a self-mining operator sells bitcoin into the market rather than to identified counterparties. The only named third parties in the dossier are transaction counterparties and service providers — H.C. Wainwright as sales agent on the at-the-market equity program (claim 15202), XpresSpa Group as the seller of a patent (claim 15218), and Global Bit Ventures as the counterparty to a merger that was terminated (claim 15477). A reader should not treat any of these as revenue relationships.
A. Delivered and verifiable on the record: deployed miners and a leased operating facility (claims 15220, 15230), a completed patent purchase (claim 15218), a signed ATM financing agreement (claim 15202), a rebuilt board and executive team (claims 15384, 15390, 15435, 15436, 15437), and one instance of regaining Nasdaq compliance in August 2018 (claim 15438). Announced but not shown as completed: Ether mining plans floated in June 2019 (claim 15231), which have no follow-through entry, and a reverse stock split authorized in December 2018 with a year-end target (claim 15332) that the record marks as not confirmed by its date. The merger with Global Bit Ventures was announced and then terminated, with a 3,000,000-share break-up fee attached (claims 15477, 15461).
A. Read them carefully rather than as a tally of broken promises. Most 'delayed' entries are deadline-bearing items — regulatory filing dates, compliance cure periods, lease end dates, program expiry dates — that the extraction pipeline flagged because no confirming follow-up claim was recorded by the due date, not because a failure was affirmatively disclosed. The Quebec lease running to November 2022 (claim 15229) and the ATM program's July 2022 termination date (claim 15206) are ordinary contractual end dates caught by the same rule. The substantive signal is the density of Nasdaq compliance items, not the 'delayed' label itself.
A. Thin and repeatedly strained. The company twice flagged uncertainty about whether cash would last twelve months — in August 2018 (claim 15462) and again in July 2019 (claim 15197). Its disclosed financing capacity was a shelf registration of $7,472,417 (claims 15228, 15217), drawn through an at-the-market program of the same size with H.C. Wainwright at a 3% sales commission plus $25,000 of counsel reimbursement (claims 15203, 15204, 15205). On listing status, it faced Nasdaq problems in 2018 over board and committee composition with cure deadlines running into 2019 (claims 15465, 15466, 15467, 15468), a minimum bid price deficiency requiring a $1.00 share price by April 2019 (claim 15383), regained compliance in August 2018 (claim 15438), and was then back in violation by May 2019 (claim 15243) with a new compliance plan due July 2019 (claim 15244) and a minimum equity filing due November 2019 (claim 15196).
A. Four things. First, whether the November 2019 minimum stockholders' equity filing (claim 15196) resolved the second Nasdaq episode or led to further action. Second, whether the authorized reverse stock split (claim 15332) was ever executed, since it is the standard remedy for the bid-price deficiency. Third, whether the Ether mining plan (claim 15231) became real capital deployment or was dropped. Fourth, hashrate and fleet growth beyond the 1,400 units on record (claim 15220), and whether the Quebec lease was renewed, replaced, or allowed to lapse at its November 2022 end (claim 15229).
A. The most important gap is temporal: the disclosed claims effectively stop in mid-2019, so the dossier captures a pre-scale, going-concern-flagged company and says nothing about what happened during the 2020-2021 bitcoin cycle when this company grew substantially. Anyone using this as diligence should treat it as a historical base layer, not a current profile. Beyond that: there is no revenue, cost-of-power, or bitcoin-production figure anywhere in the record, so unit economics cannot be assessed; there is no disclosure of who owns or operates the Granby site beyond the lease and security arrangements (claims 15198, 15199); the value of the 30% patent SPE waterfall interest (claim 15223) is unquantified; and the governance history — director resignations in June 2018 (claim 15476), a terminated merger with a share-based break-up fee (claim 15461), and large option grants to insiders including 5,000,000 shares to the CEO (claim 15389) against a 10,000,000-share plan reserve (claim 15460) — raises dilution and control questions the record does not resolve.
Frequently asked
2026-09-21A. In the period covered by this dossier it is a very small cryptocurrency mining company. It mines bitcoin on leased data-center space in Granby, Quebec — a 26,700 square foot facility (claim 15230) leased through November 2022 at a disclosed cost figure of $120,150 (claim 15219) — with roughly 1,400 mining units deployed (claim 15220). Alongside mining it holds cryptocurrency-related patents, including one bought from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218), with a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special-purpose entity (claim 15223). As of July 2019 the company reported 3 full-time employees (claim 15222).
A. Three strands, all stated rather than completed: expand cryptocurrency mining (claims 15459, 15221); add ether mining to the bitcoin operation (claim 15231); and monetize an acquired patent portfolio through a special-purpose entity (claims 15218, 15223). Funding for all of it comes from equity issuance rather than operating cash — a $7,472,417 shelf registration (claims 15228, 15217) drawn down via an At The Market program (claim 15203). A reader should note this is a capital-markets-led strategy: the mining fleet grows as shares are sold.
A. There are none. No customer is named anywhere in the disclosed record, and for a proof-of-work mining business that is expected rather than evasive — the counterparty is the bitcoin network, not a buyer. The named third parties in the dossier are financial and operational counterparties, not customers: H.C. Wainwright as sales agent on the ATM (claim 15202), XpresSpa Group as patent seller (claim 15218), Global Bit Ventures as a failed merger target (claim 15477), and unnamed vendors providing site operations and 24-hour security at Granby (claims 15198, 15199, 15200). Anyone modelling revenue quality should ask what the realized bitcoin yield on 1,400 machines was, because the record states deployment, not output.
A. Delivered and confirmed in the record: a rebuilt board and audit/compensation/nominating committee structure in August 2018 (claims 15435, 15436, 15437); regained Nasdaq listing rule compliance that same month (claim 15438); a signed Quebec lease and ~1,400 machines deployed (claims 15219, 15220); the XpresSpa patent purchase (claim 15218); and an executed ATM agreement (claim 15202). Announced but not completed: the Global Bit Ventures acquisition, which was terminated in June 2018 with a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claims 15477, 15461); ether mining, which is stated as a plan with no delivery evidence (claim 15231); and a reverse stock split authorized but not shown as executed by the stated 2018-12-31 date (claim 15332).
A. Recurring, and they are the dominant thread of 2018–2019. The record shows an independent-director and committee deficiency with deadlines running from August 2018 to June 2019 (claims 15465, 15466, 15467, 15468), cured in August 2018 (claim 15438); a minimum bid price deficiency requiring the stock to regain $1.00 by 2019-04-15 (claim 15383); a late 10-K in April 2018 (claim 16645); and then a fresh listing violation in May 2019 with a compliance plan due 2019-07-05 (claims 15243, 15244) and a minimum stockholders' equity filing due 2019-11-13 (claim 15196). The pattern matters more than any single item: this was a company repeatedly operating at the edge of exchange requirements.
A. Dilution is the central financial fact of this period. The company reserved 10,000,000 shares under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (claims 15460, 15373), paid a 3,000,000-share break-up fee on the abandoned merger (claim 15461), sought approval for non-public issuance above the 20% threshold (claim 15333), and ran a $7,472,417 ATM at a 3% sales-agent commission plus $25,000 of counsel expense (claims 15203, 15204, 15205). Against that, the August 2018 filings carry a 12-month cash runway uncertainty running to 2019-08-13 (claim 15462) — in plain terms, a going-concern-style warning. Executive compensation over the same stretch includes a $350,000 CEO salary and 5,000,000 options to Merrick Okamoto (claims 15388, 15389) and a $180,000 CFO salary with 200,000 options to David Lieberman (claims 15391, 15392).
A. Leadership turned over sharply at the start of this record. Merrick D. Okamoto served as Interim CEO from April 2018 (claims 16648, 16644) and was appointed Executive Chairman and CEO in October 2018 (claims 15387, 15384), with David Lieberman as CFO (claim 15390). Several directors resigned in June 2018 alongside the collapse of the Global Bit Ventures deal (claims 15476, 15477), and the board was reconstituted in August 2018 with Michael Berg as Audit Committee chair, S. Michael Rudolph as Nominating chair, and Fred Thiel as Compensation chair (claims 15435, 15436, 15437). Thiel's presence on this board from 2018 is worth flagging for readers tracking the company's later leadership.
A. First, coverage: the claims on record run from April 2018 to roughly mid-2019 and stop there. Nothing in this dossier speaks to what the company became afterward, so do not read the 3-employee, 1,400-machine picture as current. Second, provenance: every claim here was machine-extracted, with statuses assigned in September 2026; a 'delayed' status frequently means the dossier holds no evidence that a stated deadline was met, not that a failure was independently confirmed — treat the delayed regulatory items as unverified rather than proven misses. Third, substance: the record states hardware deployed, square footage, and capital raised, but never mined output, revenue, or hashrate. The open questions to pursue are whether ether mining ever launched, whether the patent SPE generated any return, whether the November 2019 equity compliance filing satisfied Nasdaq (claim 15196), and what share count the company carried by the end of the ATM program.
Frequently asked
2026-09-21A. Two things, in the window the dossier covers. It is a cryptocurrency miner — it runs bitcoin mining hardware and keeps the coin, rather than selling a product to customers (claims 15459, 15221, 15198). It is also, residually, a patent-holding business: it bought a cryptocurrency patent portfolio from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and holds a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223). The mining side is what the company points to as its future; the patent side is a leftover from its earlier life as a patent-licensing shell.
A. Very small. As of the July 2019 annual filing, the company reported 3 full-time employees (claim 15222). Its mining footprint was a single leased facility in Quebec of 26,700 square feet (claim 15230) at about $120,150 under a lease running through November 2022 (claims 15219, 15229), with 1,400 mining units deployed (claim 15220). Anyone arriving with a mental image of MARA at multi-gigawatt scale should note that the disclosed record here stops well before that build-out.
A. There are none, and that is not a gap in the reporting — it is the business model. A self-miner sells bitcoin into the open market; there is no customer to name. The only named commercial counterparties in the entire record are financial and transactional: H.C. Wainwright as sales agent on an At-The-Market offering (claim 15202), XpresSpa Group as the patent seller (claim 15218), and Global Bit Ventures as a failed acquisition target (claim 15477). Treat any pitch framing this company as having a customer pipeline with skepticism against this record.
A. Delivered: the Quebec facility and 1,400 deployed miners (claims 15230, 15220), the XpresSpa patent purchase (claim 15218), a rebuilt board (claims 15435, 15436, 15437), and a regained Nasdaq compliance in August 2018 (claim 15438). Not delivered: the Global Bit Ventures merger, which was terminated and cost 3,000,000 shares as a break-up fee (claims 15477, 15461); and Ether mining, which appears once as a plan in June 2019 (claim 15231) and never recurs in the record as an operating fact. The Nasdaq compliance win also did not hold — a fresh listing-rule violation was disclosed in May 2019 (claim 15243).
A. Thinly, through equity. The disclosed capacity is a $7,472,417 shelf registration, converted into an At-The-Market program with H.C. Wainwright at a 3% sales commission (claims 15228, 15217, 15203, 15204). Alongside that, shareholders authorized a reverse stock split (claim 15332) and the issuance of non-public securities above the 20% threshold (claim 15333), and the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserved 10,000,000 shares (claims 15460, 15373). On runway, the company twice made only a qualified twelve-month cash-sufficiency statement (claims 15462, 15197) — the language of a going-concern question, not of a funded plan.
A. Most of it. Between April and October 2018 the company ran an interim CEO (claims 16644, 16648), saw directors resign (claim 15476), seated three new directors as committee chairs (claims 15435, 15436, 15437), and then settled Merrick Okamoto as Executive Chairman and CEO on a $350,000 salary with 5,000,000 options (claims 15387, 15388, 15389) and David Lieberman as CFO on $180,000 with 200,000 options (claims 15390, 15391, 15392). Notably, Fred Thiel — who later becomes central to the company — enters here only as Compensation Committee Chairman with a 50,000-option grant (claims 15437, 15396). For a company with three employees, the ratio of compensation and board events to operating events is the single most striking feature of the dossier.
A. Three things. First, whether the May 2019 Nasdaq violation (claim 15243) resolves — the compliance-plan deadline was 2019-07-05 and the minimum-equity filing deadline 2019-11-13 (claims 15244, 15196), and the company had already burned through an earlier minimum-bid-price cure period running to 2019-04-15 (claim 15383). Second, whether the reverse split (claim 15332) is executed, and at what ratio. Third, whether mining capacity grows past 1,400 units (claim 15220) and whether the Ether plan (claim 15231) ever becomes hardware.
A. Two, and they are methodological. First, coverage: the record effectively ends in mid-2019, so it says nothing about the company's later and far larger phase — do not read the absence of large-scale operations as evidence they never happened. Second, provenance: every claim in this file was produced by automated extraction, and the numerous 'delayed' statuses were set by the same automated pass rather than confirmed by a human. 'Delayed' here means the extractor could not verify the promise was met by its stated date — not that a miss is established. Any specific delay cited from this record should be re-verified against the underlying filing before it is published or relied on.
Frequently asked
2026-09-20A. In the period this dossier covers, the company is a patent-holding shell converting itself into a cryptocurrency miner. It announced a mining expansion in August 2018 (claim 15459) and by mid-2019 described live cryptocurrency mining operations (claim 15221) with roughly 1,400 bitcoin mining units deployed (claim 15220) at a 26,700 square foot leased facility in Granby, Quebec (claims 15230, 15198). The legacy patent business has not disappeared: in July 2019 it bought a cryptocurrency patent from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and retained a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223). Headcount at that point was three full-time employees (claim 15222).
A. Pivot from patent monetization to owning and running mining hardware, funded almost entirely by selling stock. The company registered a $7,472,417 shelf (claim 15217) and in July 2019 signed an At-The-Market offering agreement with H.C. Wainwright for that same $7,472,417 capacity, running to July 19, 2022, at a 3% sales commission (claims 15202, 15203, 15204, 15206). It also sought and obtained shareholder authority to issue non-public securities above the 20% threshold (claim 15333). A stated intention to mine Ether as well as Bitcoin appears in June 2019 (claim 15231) but the record shows no follow-through.
A. There are none. Not a single claim in the record identifies a customer, offtaker, or revenue counterparty. The named third parties are all vendors, financiers, or counterparties on the other side of the table: H.C. Wainwright as ATM sales agent (claim 15202), XpresSpa Group as patent seller (claim 15218), Global Bit Ventures as a failed merger target (claim 15477), and unnamed providers of Granby site operations, financial operations management, and 24-hour security (claims 15198, 15199, 15200). A mining business sells hash into a pool rather than to named customers, so the absence is not by itself suspicious, but it does mean nothing in this dossier corroborates revenue.
A. Delivered: the 1,400-unit miner deployment (claim 15220), the Quebec lease (claims 15219, 15229), the XpresSpa patent purchase (claim 15218), a rebuilt board with three committee chairs seated in August 2018 (claims 15435, 15436, 15437), and a regained Nasdaq listing compliance in August 2018 (claim 15438). Announced but not shown as completed: the Global Bit Ventures merger, terminated in June 2018 with a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claims 15477, 15461); a reverse stock split authorized for year-end 2018 that sits delayed (claim 15332); and Ether mining (claim 15231). Note that most of the extraction's 'delayed' flags are deadline-passage markers rather than verified failures.
A. They were persistent and span the whole record. The 2017 10-K missed its April 15, 2018 deadline (claim 16645). Nasdaq issued deficiency notices in July 2018 with a compliance plan due August 24, 2018, full compliance by January 7, 2019, and compensation committee compliance by June 28, 2019 (claims 15466, 15467, 15468), alongside a requirement to seat two independent directors (claim 15465). A separate $1.00 minimum bid price cure ran to April 15, 2019 (claim 15383). A fresh violation was noticed in May 2019 with a plan due July 5, 2019 (claims 15243, 15244) and a minimum stockholders' equity compliance filing due November 13, 2019 (claim 15196). The company also withdrew a shareholder proposal outright over Nasdaq Rule 5635(b) (claim 15372).
A. Heavy relative to the size of the business. Merrick D. Okamoto moved from interim CEO in April 2018 (claim 16648) to Executive Chairman and CEO in October 2018 (claims 15384, 15387) on a $350,000 base salary (claim 15388) with 5,000,000 options (claim 15389) plus a 2,500,000 option grant (claim 15385) carrying change-of-control acceleration (claim 15386). CFO David Lieberman received $180,000 and 200,000 options (claims 15390, 15391, 15392); directors received 50,000 to 100,000 options each (claims 15393, 15394, 15395, 15396). The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserved 10,000,000 shares (claims 15460, 15373). Against a three-person payroll (claim 15222) and a $7.5 million funding capacity (claim 15203), that is the central tension a reader should weigh.
A. Four things. Whether the November 13, 2019 Nasdaq stockholders' equity filing satisfied the exchange (claim 15196) and whether the reverse split authorized in December 2018 was ever executed (claim 15332). How much of the $7,472,417 ATM was actually drawn before its July 19, 2022 termination date (claims 15203, 15206) and at what share count. Whether the Granby lease was carried to its November 30, 2022 term or exited early (claim 15229), which is the cleanest test of whether the miner deployment scaled. And whether the Ether plan (claim 15231) ever produced anything, or was abandoned silently.
A. First, coverage: the claims provided here run from April 2018 to roughly July 2019 and the record is cut off mid-2019, so nothing about the company's later and far larger scale-up is evidenced in this file. Second, economics: there is no revenue, no hashrate, no cost-of-power, and no bitcoin-held figure anywhere in the record, so the mining business cannot be sized from what is disclosed. Third, solvency: the August 2018 filing flagged uncertainty about a 12-month cash runway (claim 15462), and nothing in the record resolves it. Fourth, governance turnover: directors resigned alongside the Global Bit Ventures collapse in June 2018 (claim 15476), and Fred Thiel appears only as Compensation Committee Chairman (claim 15437) — any later role is outside this record and should not be inferred from it.
Frequently asked
2026-09-20A. On the record here, Marathon Digital (MARA) is a cryptocurrency mining company that got there by pivoting out of patent licensing. The mining business is stated as of August 2018 (claim 15459) and described as active operations by mid-2019 (claim 15221), with bitcoin mining machines running at a leased facility in Granby, Quebec. The old patent business has not fully disappeared: in July 2019 the company still held a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223), and it bought a cryptocurrency-related patent from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218). A reader should picture a very small company in transition, not a diversified operator — full-time headcount was 3 employees as of July 2019 (claim 15222).
A. Lease hosting space, deploy mining rigs, fund the buildout with equity, and keep the Nasdaq listing alive while doing it. The concrete pieces: a 26,700 square foot Quebec facility (claim 15230) under a lease running through November 2022 (claims 15229, 15219, the latter citing $120,150), 1,400 bitcoin mining units deployed (claim 15220), and an At-The-Market equity program of $7,472,417 with H.C. Wainwright as sales agent at a 3% commission (claims 15202, 15203, 15204, 15228, 15217). There is also a stated intent to mine ether alongside bitcoin (claim 15231). Note what is absent: no stated hashrate target, no capex budget, no revenue or production guidance anywhere in this record.
A. None are named, and for this business model that is expected rather than suspicious — a bitcoin miner earns block rewards and fees from the network via mining pools, so there is no customer list to disclose. What the record does name are counterparties, not customers: H.C. Wainwright (equity sales agent, claim 15202), XpresSpa Group (patent seller, claim 15218), Global Bit Ventures (a merger partner the company walked away from, claim 15477), and unnamed service providers at the Granby facility handling mining operations, 24-hour security, and financial operations management (claims 15198, 15199, 15200). The mining pool, hosting counterparty, and equipment vendor are not identified in this record.
A. Delivered and verifiable in the record: 1,400 miners deployed (claim 15220), the Quebec lease signed (claim 15229), a rebuilt board with named committee chairs — Michael Berg on Audit, S. Michael Rudolph on Nominating, Fred Thiel on Compensation (claims 15435, 15436, 15437) — and Nasdaq listing compliance regained in August 2018 (claim 15438). Announced but with no delivery recorded: ether mining (claim 15231), which appears once and is never followed up. Abandoned: the Global Bit Ventures merger, terminated in June 2018 (claim 15477) with a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claim 15461).
A. Read those labels carefully. Most of the 'delayed' items are regulatory or contractual deadlines — a compliance plan due 2018-08-24 (claim 15466), independent director appointments due 2019-01-07 (claim 15465), a $1.00 minimum bid price cure by 2019-04-15 (claim 15383), the ATM program running to 2022-07-19 (claims 15203, 15206), a lease ending 2022-11-30 (claim 15229). These were tagged by automated extraction, and the tag means the record contains no document confirming the deadline was met, not that a miss has been independently established. The lease and ATM end-dates in particular are scheduled terms, not broken promises. The genuinely substantive flags are the late 10-K (claim 16645) and the going-concern-style 12-month cash runway uncertainty disclosed in August 2018 (claim 15462).
A. A recurring listing problem across both years covered. In July 2018 the company was cited for listing rule deficiencies with a compliance plan due August 2018, director appointments due January 2019, and compensation committee compliance due June 2019 (claims 15466, 15465, 15467, 15468). It regained compliance in August 2018 (claim 15438), then hit a separate minimum bid price deficiency requiring a $1.00 cure by April 2019 (claim 15383) — which is the context for the reverse stock split authorization (claim 15332). Then in May 2019 a new violation, with a compliance plan due 2019-07-05 (claims 15243, 15244), and a minimum stockholders' equity filing due 2019-11-13 (claim 15196). Two distinct deficiency cycles in roughly twelve months is the pattern worth noting.
A. The equity compensation relative to company size. Merrick Okamoto went from Interim CEO in April 2018 (claims 16644, 16648) to Executive Chairman and CEO by October 2018 (claims 15387, 15384), with a $350,000 base salary and 5,000,000 stock options (claims 15388, 15389), against a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve of 10,000,000 shares (claims 15460, 15373). CFO David Lieberman was appointed at $180,000 and 200,000 options (claims 15390, 15391, 15392); directors received 50,000 options each (claims 15394, 15395, 15396) and James Crawford 100,000 (claim 15393). There is also a 2.5 million option tranche with change-of-control acceleration (claims 15385, 15386). Separately, shareholders approved issuing more than 20% of shares in non-public offerings (claim 15333). This is a 3-employee company (claim 15222) with a live ATM (claim 15203) and a disclosed cash runway question (claim 15462) — dilution is the through-line, and a reader should size those option grants against the then-current share count before drawing conclusions.
A. The single largest gap is recency: this record effectively stops in mid-2019, and the last entry is truncated in the source. Anything about the company's later scale, financing, or operations is simply not in this dossier — do not infer it from absence. The concrete near-term watch items as of the record's end are the 2019-11-13 Nasdaq stockholders' equity filing (claim 15196), whether the ether mining plan (claim 15231) ever produced anything, and how much of the $7,472,417 ATM was actually drawn (claim 15203). The structural open questions: there is no disclosed hashrate, no mining revenue or cost-per-coin figure, no named hosting counterparty or mining pool, and no indication of what happened to the 30% patent SPE interest (claim 15223). Before treating this dossier as a current picture, get filings from 2019-07 forward.
Frequently asked
2026-09-20A. On the record in this dossier, Marathon Digital (MARA) is a cryptocurrency mining company. The disclosed business is buying and running mining hardware to earn coin: mining operations are stated as the core activity (claim 15221), with an announced expansion of that mining business (claim 15459), a stated intention to mine Ether alongside Bitcoin (claim 15231), and a deployment of 1,400 Bitcoin mining units (claim 15220). There is a secondary, smaller intellectual-property leg: the company bought a cryptocurrency-related patent from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and holds a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special-purpose entity (claim 15223). Important framing for a first-time reader: this claim set covers roughly April 2018 through July 2019 and is the record as disclosed, not a description of the company at any later date.
A. Pivot to being a pure-play miner, house the machines in cheap-power leased space, and fund it with equity. The physical footprint is a Quebec data center of 26,700 square feet (claim 15230), leased through November 2022 (claims 15229 and 15219, the latter at $120,150). The funding mechanism is a shelf registration of $7,472,417 (claims 15228 and 15217), drawn down through an At-The-Market offering agreement with H.C. Wainwright (claim 15202) with the same $7,472,417 capacity (claim 15203) at a 3% sales-agent commission (claim 15204). In other words: a small, leased, equity-funded mining operation — as of July 2019 the company disclosed three full-time employees (claim 15222).
A. There are none, and that is not an oversight in the dossier — it reflects the business model. A miner's 'customer' is the blockchain protocol itself; revenue is block rewards and fees, not contracts with buyers. So there is no customer-concentration story to check here. The named third parties in the record are counterparties, not customers: H.C. Wainwright as sales agent on the ATM (claim 15202), XpresSpa Group as the seller of a patent (claim 15218), Global Bit Ventures as a terminated merger target (claim 15477), and unnamed providers of 24-hour security (claim 15199) and financial operations management (claim 15200). Anyone evaluating this company should be testing hash rate, power cost and coin price — not a customer list.
A. Delivered and verifiable in the record: 1,400 mining units deployed (claim 15220); a Quebec facility leased (claims 15230, 15219); a board rebuilt in August 2018 with Michael Berg as Audit Committee chair (claim 15435), S. Michael Rudolph as Nominating chair (claim 15436) and Fred Thiel as Compensation chair (claim 15437); Nasdaq listing-rule compliance regained (claim 15438); and an executive team put in place with Merrick Okamoto as Executive Chairman and CEO (claims 15387, 15384) and David Lieberman as CFO (claim 15390). Announced but not shown completed in this record: the Ether mining plan (claim 15231), which appears as a stated intention with no follow-through claim, and the Global Bit Ventures merger, which was terminated outright (claim 15477) with a 3,000,000-share break-up fee attached (claim 15461). The gap between the announcement cadence and the delivery cadence is the single most useful thing to notice in this dossier.
A. They are the spine of the 2018-2019 record and they recur. The company breached Nasdaq rules, submitted compliance plans against deadlines (claims 15466, 15244), was required to appoint two independent directors by January 2019 (claim 15465), faced a compensation-committee compliance deadline (claim 15468), and had to meet a $1.00 minimum bid price by April 2019 (claim 15383). Note the pattern: compliance was regained in August 2018 (claim 15438) and then a fresh listing-rule violation was recorded in May 2019 (claim 15243), with a minimum-equity compliance filing due November 2019 (claim 15196). Separately, the company twice disclosed doubt about whether cash would last twelve months (claims 15462 and 15197) — standard going-concern language, and it was repeated a year apart rather than resolved. Its 10-K was also filed late against an April 2018 deadline (claim 16645).
A. For a company with three full-time employees (claim 15222), the equity issuance is large and worth understanding on its own terms. The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserved 10,000,000 shares (claims 15460 and 15373). CEO Merrick Okamoto received stock options covering 5,000,000 shares (claim 15389), plus a separate 2,500,000-option grant (claim 15385) carrying change-of-control acceleration on 2,500,000 unvested options (claim 15386), against a base salary of $350,000 (claim 15388). CFO David Lieberman received 200,000 options (claim 15392) and a $180,000 base salary (claim 15391); outside directors received 50,000 options each (claims 15395, 15396, 15394) and James Crawford 100,000 (claim 15393). On top of that: shareholder approval to issue more than 20% of shares outside a public offering (claim 15333), a reverse stock split authorization (claim 15332), and the ATM (claim 15203). A withdrawn Proposal No. 5 over Nasdaq Rule 5635(b) (claim 15372) shows the shareholder-approval limits were live constraints, not formalities.
A. Four dated items from this record are the natural checkpoints. First, the November 2019 minimum-equity compliance filing (claim 15196) — did the company cure or get delisted? Second, the $1.00 bid-price deadline (claim 15383) and whether the authorized reverse split (claim 15332) was executed to meet it. Third, the Quebec lease running to November 2022 (claims 15229, 15219) — whether the company stayed, expanded, or wrote it off. Fourth, the ATM agreement's July 2022 termination date (claim 15206) and how much of the $7,472,417 capacity (claim 15203) was actually drawn and at what price. Beyond the record: whether the stated Ether mining plan (claim 15231) ever produced hardware, and how the 30% patent-entity interest (claim 15223) was ultimately valued.
A. Three, and a reader should hold all of them. First, coverage: the claims here run from April 2018 to July 2019 only. Do not read this as the company's full or current history — a great deal about MARA falls outside this window and is simply not evidenced here. Second, provenance: every claim in this set was produced by automated extraction from filings, with no human confirmation step recorded in the transitions. Third, and most important, the meaning of 'delayed': that status was machine-assigned and means the dossier contains no document confirming the commitment was met by its stated date. It does not establish that the company failed. Several items flagged delayed — the Quebec lease term (claim 15229), the ATM termination date (claim 15206), the twelve-month cash sufficiency statements (claims 15462, 15197) — are forward-looking end dates or standard disclosures rather than broken promises, and flagging them as delayed is arguably an artifact of the extraction method. Verify against primary filings before publishing anything that turns on a 'delayed' label.
Frequently asked
2026-09-20A. The claims on file describe a company transitioning from patent monetization into cryptocurrency mining. It bought a cryptocurrency-related patent portfolio from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 and retained a 30% waterfall interest in the patent special-purpose entity (claims 15218, 15223), while simultaneously standing up bitcoin mining operations (claim 15221) at a leased facility in Granby, Quebec (claim 15198). As of 2019-07-01 it reported three full-time employees (claim 15222).
A. Mining expansion, funded by equity issuance. The disclosed physical footprint is a single 26,700-square-foot Quebec data center (claim 15230) leased through November 2022 (claims 15229, 15219), with 1,400 mining units deployed as of 2019-07-01 (claim 15220). The company also stated plans to mine ether in addition to bitcoin (claim 15231). Financing capacity was modest: a shelf registration of $7,472,417 (claims 15228, 15217) drawn through an At-The-Market program with H.C. Wainwright at a 3% sales commission (claims 15202, 15203, 15204).
A. There are none, and that is expected rather than evasive — bitcoin mining sells a commodity to the network, not to identified buyers. The named counterparties in the record are vendors and financial intermediaries, not customers: H.C. Wainwright as ATM sales agent (claim 15202), XpresSpa Group as patent seller (claim 15218), and Global Bit Ventures as a terminated merger target (claim 15477). Notably, the parties operating the Granby site — mining operations, 24-hour security, and financial operations management (claims 15198, 15199, 15200) — are recorded as partnerships without named counterparties, meaning a third party ran day-to-day operations for a three-person company.
A. Delivered and evidenced: the Quebec lease and 1,400 deployed miners (claims 15230, 15220), the patent acquisition (claim 15218), the ATM facility (claim 15203), a full board with chaired audit, compensation, and nominating committees (claims 15435, 15436, 15437), and a regained Nasdaq listing compliance on 2018-08-21 (claim 15438). Announced but not evidenced as completed in this record: ether mining (claim 15231), general 'mining expansion' (claim 15459), and the Global Bit Ventures acquisition, which was terminated on 2018-06-28 with a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claims 15477, 15461).
A. Recurring, across at least three separate issues over roughly a year. A 2018 listing-rule deficiency carried a compliance plan deadline of 2018-08-24 and a cure deadline of 2019-01-07 (claims 15466, 15467), with a separate compensation committee deadline of 2019-06-28 (claim 15468); compliance was regained on 2018-08-21 (claim 15438). A minimum bid price deficiency followed, with a $1.00 threshold and a 2019-04-15 deadline (claim 15383), prompting shareholder authorization of a reverse stock split (claim 15332). A further violation was recorded on 2019-05-23 with a plan due 2019-07-05 (claims 15243, 15244), plus a minimum stockholders' equity filing due 2019-11-13 (claim 15196).
A. The company disclosed going-concern-style uncertainty about whether cash would fund twelve months of operations, both in 2018 and again in 2019 (claims 15462, 15197). Against that, shareholders approved issuing securities beyond the 20% non-public threshold (claim 15333), a 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan was reserved (claims 15460, 15373), and the ATM allowed continuous equity sales (claim 15203). Insider grants were large relative to the company's size: 5,000,000 options to Merrick Okamoto (claim 15389) plus two tranches of 2,500,000 (claims 15385, 15386), the latter carrying change-of-control acceleration.
A. Four things. Whether the 2019-07-05 compliance plan and the 2019-11-13 minimum equity filing were accepted by Nasdaq (claims 15244, 15196). Whether a reverse split was actually executed, since only authorization is on record (claim 15332). Whether miner count grew beyond 1,400 units in a single 26,700-square-foot site (claims 15220, 15230). And whether the ether mining plan (claim 15231) ever produced hardware, or quietly lapsed.
A. Two. First, the record here ends in mid-2019, so it captures a small, cash-constrained, listing-troubled company and says nothing about what MARA became afterward — do not read these claims as a current description of the business. Second, claims marked 'delayed' were flagged by automated extraction on 2026-09-15 and generally mean no follow-up document in this corpus confirms the deadline was met; that is an absence of evidence, not proof of a missed commitment. Several 'delayed' items are also not promises at all but contract end dates, such as the ATM termination date of 2022-07-19 (claim 15206) and the Quebec lease running to 2022-11-30 (claim 15229). Treat those statuses as prompts for verification against primary filings.
Frequently asked
2026-09-20A. On this record it is a bitcoin mining company that got there by pivoting out of patent licensing. The disclosed operating footprint is small and hardware-based: a leased data center in Granby, Quebec of 26,700 square feet (claim 15230) with roughly 1,400 bitcoin mining units deployed (claim 15220), hosted at an electricity cost of $0.055/kWh (claim 15153). The patent heritage is still visible in the file — it bought a cryptocurrency patent from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and retained a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special-purpose entity (claim 15223). Important caveat: the claims on file for this company run from June 2018 to roughly August 2019. Anything the company has done since is not in this dossier, and a reader should not treat this FAQ as a description of the company today.
A. Expand cryptocurrency mining (claims 15459, 15221), funded by equity issuance rather than operating cash. The record shows plans to mine Ether as well as bitcoin (claim 15231). The financing side is the more concrete half of the strategy: a shelf registration and At The Market program of $7,472,417 (claims 15228, 15217, 15203), shareholder authorization to issue non-public securities up to 20% (claim 15333), a reverse stock split authorization (claim 15332), and a 10,000,000-share equity incentive plan (claims 15460, 15373). Read together, this is a micro-cap that was buying miners with shares.
A. There are none, and that is not a red flag by itself — bitcoin mining has no customers. A miner sells a commodity into a market. The named counterparties in the record are therefore vendors, agents and transaction partners, not buyers: H.C. Wainwright as sales agent on the ATM (claim 15202, at a 3% commission, claim 15204), XpresSpa Group as the seller of a patent (claim 15218), and Global Bit Ventures as the counterparty to a terminated merger (claim 15477). Notably, the Granby hosting, security and financial-operations arrangements (claims 15198, 15199, 15200) appear in the record without the counterparty being named. If you are doing diligence, the identity and creditworthiness of the hosting provider is the gap worth closing.
A. Delivered and verifiable in the record: a board rebuild after directors resigned (claim 15476) — Michael Berg as Audit Committee chairman (claim 15435), S. Michael Rudolph as Nominating chairman (claim 15436), Fred Thiel as Compensation chairman (claim 15437) — a regained Nasdaq listing compliance in August 2018 (claim 15438), an executive team installed under CEO and Chairman Merrick Okamoto (claims 15384, 15387) with CFO David Lieberman (claim 15390), a signed ATM facility, a leased Quebec facility, and roughly 1,400 miners on the ground. Announced but not shown completed in this record: the Ether mining plans (claim 15231), and the scale implied by 'mining expansion' (claim 15459). The gap between a $7.5 million financing capacity and 1,400 machines is the honest measure of how early this was.
A. Less seriously than the word suggests, and you should check each one. 'Delayed' here is an automated status applied when a dated item's date passed without a recorded fulfilling event — it does not establish that the company missed anything. Several so-labeled items are not promises at all: the Quebec lease running through November 2022 (claims 15229, 15219) is a lease term, and the ATM termination date of 2022-07-19 (claim 15206) is a contract expiry. Others are genuinely going-concern language, such as the twelve-month cash runway uncertainty (claims 15462, 15197), where 'delayed' just means the record does not show how it resolved. Treat the label as a pointer to items needing a source check, not as a finding.
A. It is recurring, which matters more than any single episode. In July 2018 the company faced listing rule deficiencies with a compliance plan due 2018-08-24, independent director and listing rule deadlines of 2019-01-07, and a compensation committee deadline of 2019-06-28 (claims 15466, 15465, 15467, 15468). It regained compliance in August 2018 (claim 15438). Then in October 2018 it received a minimum bid price notice requiring a $1.00 share price by 2019-04-15 (claim 15383), and in May 2019 it was back in violation (claim 15243) with a new plan due 2019-07-05 (claim 15244) and a minimum stockholders' equity filing due 2019-11-13 (claim 15196). The reverse stock split authorization (claim 15332) and the post-transaction share count of 8,720,405 shares (claim 15152) should be read against this backdrop.
A. It was terminated in June 2018 (claim 15477), with a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares recorded (claim 15461). A terminated acquisition accompanied by director resignations in the same month (claim 15476) and the withdrawal of a shareholder proposal for Nasdaq Rule 5635(b) reasons in November 2018 (claim 15372) is the kind of cluster that warrants reading the underlying filings rather than the summaries. The record does not explain the cause.
A. First, scale and survival: at three full-time employees (claim 15222), 1,400 miners, and explicit doubt about twelve months of cash (claims 15462, 15197), the question is whether the operation reached a size where mining revenue covered costs. Second, dilution: an ATM of $7,472,417 (claim 15203) against 8,720,405 shares outstanding (claim 15152), plus a 10,000,000-share incentive plan (claim 15373) and large executive option grants — 5,000,000 and 2,500,000 options to the CEO (claims 15389, 15385), with 2,500,000 unvested options carrying change-of-control acceleration (claim 15386) against a $350,000 salary (claim 15388) — means existing holders were the funding source. Third, the unnamed Granby hosting counterparty. Fourth, and most important for any reader using this page: the dossier's claims stop in 2019, so the entire subsequent history of the company is absent here and must be sourced elsewhere before drawing any conclusion about the present business.
Frequently asked
2026-09-19A. In the filings on record (mid-2018 to August 2019), Marathon is a very small company moving into cryptocurrency mining. It disclosed a crypto mining expansion (claim 15459) and bitcoin mining operations (claim 15221). It leased a 26,700 sq ft facility in Quebec (claim 15230) and reported deploying 1,400 bitcoin mining units (claim 15220). It also kept a legacy patent interest: a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special-purpose entity (claim 15223) and crypto-related patents bought from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218). As of mid-2019 it reported 3 full-time employees (claim 15222).
A. The strategy is to grow a self-operated bitcoin mining business and fund it by issuing stock. The mining footprint is the Quebec/Granby data center, with a lease running through November 2022 (claims 15219, 15229). A hosting arrangement priced power at $0.055/kWh (claim 15153). The company also disclosed plans to mine Ether (claim 15231). Funding tools on record: a $7,472,417 at-the-market offering through H.C. Wainwright at a 3% commission (claims 15202, 15203, 15204), shareholder approval to issue more than 20% of shares in non-public deals (claim 15333), a reverse stock split authorization (claim 15332), and a 10,000,000-share equity incentive plan (claims 15460, 15373).
A. None are named, and the business model largely explains why. A self-miner earns block rewards from the network rather than selling to customers. The named parties in the record are counterparties, not customers: H.C. Wainwright as sales agent (claim 15202), XpresSpa Group as seller of the patents (claim 15218), Global Bit Ventures as a merger partner whose deal was terminated (claims 15477, 15461), and unnamed providers of facility, security and financial-operations services (claims 15198, 15199, 15200).
A. Disclosed as done: the Quebec facility lease (claims 15219, 15230), deployment of 1,400 mining units (claim 15220), the XpresSpa patent purchase (claim 15218), the ATM agreement (claim 15202), and a rebuilt board with three new independent directors (claims 15435, 15436, 15437), after which the company regained Nasdaq listing-rule compliance (claim 15438). Announced only, with no follow-through on record: Ether mining (claim 15231) and the broader mining expansion (claim 15459). The Global Bit Ventures merger was announced and then terminated, with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claims 15477, 15461).
A. Fragile, based on these filings. Twice the company disclosed doubt about having enough cash for the next 12 months (claims 15462, 15197). It depended on small equity raises: the entire ATM program was $7,472,417 (claim 15203). After a transaction in August 2019 it reported 8,720,405 common shares outstanding (claim 15152). Meanwhile, management compensation included 5,000,000 CEO stock options (claim 15389) and a $350,000 base salary (claim 15388), so readers should watch for dilution.
A. It keeps coming back. In 2018 the company was out of compliance on board and committee independence (claims 15465, 15467, 15468) and regained compliance after appointing new directors (claim 15438). It then faced a $1.00 minimum bid price deadline (claim 15383), a new rule violation in May 2019 with a compliance-plan deadline (claims 15243, 15244), and a minimum-equity compliance filing due by November 2019 (claim 15196). A proxy proposal was withdrawn over Nasdaq Rule 5635(b) (claim 15372).
A. 1) Whether the company resolves the 2019 Nasdaq equity and bid-price issues or needs the reverse split (claims 15196, 15383, 15332). 2) How much of the ATM capacity gets used and how much dilution follows (claims 15203, 15152). 3) Whether the mining fleet grows beyond 1,400 units (claim 15220) and whether Ether mining ever starts (claim 15231). 4) What happens when the Quebec lease ends in November 2022 (claim 15219). 5) Whether the going-concern language goes away (claim 15197).
A. First, coverage: the claims shown stop in August 2019 and the list appears truncated, so this FAQ says nothing about the company's later history. Second, the 'delayed' statuses were applied by automated extraction. In many cases they only mean the promised date has passed, not that the company verifiably missed it. For example, the board-independence deadline (claim 15467) is marked 'delayed' even though compliance was regained (claim 15438), and lease or ATM end dates (claims 15219, 15206) are not really promises. Third, the record gives no revenue, hashrate, or bitcoin-mined figures, so how well the mining operation actually performs is undocumented here.
Frequently asked
2026-09-19A. Marathon Digital (MARA) mines cryptocurrency, mainly bitcoin. In mid-2019 it ran mining equipment from a leased facility in Quebec. That facility was 26,700 square feet (claim 15230), with a lease running through November 2022 (claims 15229, 15219). It had about 1,400 mining units deployed (claim 15220). The company also held cryptocurrency-related patents: it bought patents from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and holds a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special-purpose entity (claim 15223). Important caveat: the claims in this dossier stop around August 2019. It does not describe the company as it exists today.
A. Grow its mining fleet. In August 2018 it announced a 'cryptocurrency mining expansion' (claim 15459). In August 2019 it announced the purchase of 6,000 Bitmain S-9 Antminer bitcoin miners (claim 15150), with hosting at a stated electricity cost of $0.055/kWh (claim 15153). Its mid-2019 filings also mentioned plans to mine ether (claim 15231). Before that, it tried to grow through a merger with Global Bit Ventures, but that deal was terminated in June 2018 (claim 15477). The termination involved a break-up fee paid in shares, recorded as 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461).
A. None are named, and none should be expected. A bitcoin miner earns block rewards and transaction fees from the network rather than selling to customers. The record does name some counterparties: H.C. Wainwright as sales agent for its at-the-market stock offering (claim 15202), and XpresSpa Group as the seller of the patents (claim 15218). The Granby, Quebec hosting, security, and financial-operations arrangements (claims 15198, 15199, 15200) do not name the provider in the claims shown.
A. Delivered or in place by mid-2019: the Quebec facility lease (claims 15219, 15229) and about 1,400 deployed miners (claim 15220). Board seats were filled in August 2018 (claims 15435, 15436, 15437), and the company reported regaining Nasdaq listing-rule compliance on 2018-08-21 (claim 15438). Announced, with no confirmed completion in the record: the purchase and deployment of the 6,000 S-9 miners (claim 15150), ether mining (claim 15231), and the broader mining expansion (claim 15459). The Global Bit Ventures merger was announced and then abandoned (claims 15477, 15461).
A. Cash was an explicit concern. In August 2018, filings flagged uncertainty about having 12 months of cash runway (claim 15462). A July 2019 filing addressed whether operating cash would last another twelve months (claim 15197). The main funding tool was stock sales. There was a shelf registration of $7,472,417 (claims 15228, 15217) and an at-the-market offering agreement with H.C. Wainwright of the same size (claim 15203), with a 3% sales commission (claim 15204). Shareholders also approved a reverse stock split (claim 15332) and non-public share issuances above the 20% Nasdaq threshold (claim 15333). Both are common signs of a small company raising capital and defending its stock listing. The company was also very small: it reported 3 full-time employees in July 2019 (claim 15222).
A. The company had repeated listing problems. In 2018 it faced deadlines on board independence and committee composition (claims 15465, 15466, 15467, 15468) and reported regaining compliance on 2018-08-21 (claim 15438). It then faced a $1.00 minimum bid price deadline of 2019-04-15 (claim 15383). In May 2019 it received a new notice of violation (claim 15243), with a compliance plan due 2019-07-05 (claim 15244). It also had a minimum-equity compliance filing due in November 2019 (claim 15196). The record does not show how those 2019 issues were resolved.
A. In October 2018, Merrick Okamoto became Executive Chairman and CEO (claims 15384, 15387) at a $350,000 base salary (claim 15388). David Lieberman became CFO at $180,000 (claims 15390, 15391). Fred Thiel, Michael Berg, and S. Michael Rudolph chaired the board committees (claims 15435, 15436, 15437). The size of the CEO's option grant is unclear. One claim records 5,000,000 options (claim 15389). Others describe 2,500,000 options issued plus 2,500,000 unvested options that vest immediately on a change of control (claims 15385, 15386). Check the source filing before quoting a single figure.
A. 1) Coverage gap: this dossier ends in 2019. Anything about the company's current size, strategy, or fleet needs filings from after 2019. 2) Whether the 6,000 S-9 miners (claim 15150) were actually delivered and switched on, and whether ether mining (claim 15231) ever started. 3) How the 2019 Nasdaq issues were resolved (claims 15243, 15383, 15196), and how much of the $7.47M at-the-market offering was actually sold (claim 15203). 4) Data quality: many claims are marked 'delayed' by automated extraction, but some of those look like deadlines that were simply met or passed, not actual slippage. For example, claim 15467 is marked delayed, yet claim 15438 records compliance regained. Also, claim 15461's 'promised by' date comes before its own announcement date. Treat 'delayed' labels as prompts to check the source, not as findings.
Frequently asked
2026-09-18A. In the period this record covers (mid-2018 to August 2019), Marathon was a small, Nasdaq-listed company pivoting into cryptocurrency mining. It also held patent assets. By mid-2019 it disclosed 1,400 bitcoin mining units deployed (claim 15220) and three full-time employees (claim 15222). It mined from a leased 26,700 sq ft facility in Quebec (claim 15230), with the lease running through November 2022 (claim 15219). Its hosting arrangement cited electricity at $0.055/kWh (claim 15153). It also described plans to mine Ether (claim 15231). It bought cryptocurrency-related patents from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and held a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special-purpose entity (claim 15223).
A. The disclosed strategy was to expand cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459) while keeping its Nasdaq listing and funding operations through equity. A planned merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated (claim 15477). The termination came with a disclosed break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). New leadership followed: Merrick Okamoto became Executive Chairman and CEO in October 2018 (claim 15387), and David Lieberman became CFO (claim 15390).
A. None are named in this record. As a self-mining operation, Marathon's output was mined cryptocurrency rather than sales to identified customers. The counterparties that do appear are service and financing partners. The Granby, Quebec facility arrangement covered bitcoin mining, 24-hour security, and financial operations management (claims 15198, 15199, 15200), but the operator is not named in the claims. H.C. Wainwright was the sales agent for an at-the-market stock offering (claim 15202).
A. These items are stated as done: 1,400 mining units deployed (claim 15220), the Quebec facility lease in place (claims 15219, 15230), the XpresSpa patent purchase (claim 15218), and new board appointments that regained compliance with Nasdaq listing rules in August 2018 (claims 15438, 15435, 15436). Ether mining appears only as a plan (claim 15231), and the record shows no follow-through. Many dated commitments are tagged 'delayed' by automated extraction. This mostly means the deadline passed and the record shows no resolution, not that a delay was confirmed.
A. It was financed mainly by issuing stock. That included a shelf registration and an at-the-market (ATM) offering of up to $7,472,417 (claims 15217, 15203), which paid the agent a 3% commission (claim 15204). It also sold 2,335,000 shares in a private placement (claim 15151) and reserved 10,000,000 shares for employee equity awards (claim 15460). Both the 2018 and 2019 filings flagged uncertainty over whether the company had 12 months of cash (claims 15462, 15197). For a lay reader, that is a going-concern-style warning.
A. Yes, repeatedly. In 2018 it faced deadlines to fix its board and compensation committee (claims 15467, 15468, 15466) and to restore the $1.00 minimum bid price (claim 15383). It regained board-related compliance in August 2018 (claim 15438). Shareholders authorized a reverse stock split (claim 15332), a common tool for lifting a low share price. In May 2019 it disclosed a new listing violation (claim 15243). In July 2019 it disclosed a stockholders' equity compliance filing due by November 2019 (claim 15196). The record does not show how either issue was resolved.
A. This record ends in August 2019. Three things are worth checking against later filings. First, whether the Nasdaq equity deficiency (claim 15196) was cured. Second, how much of the $7.47M ATM program was actually used and how much it diluted shareholders (claim 15203). Third, whether mining capacity grew beyond 1,400 units (claim 15220) and what happened to the Quebec lease at its November 2022 end (claim 15219). The company's later history, including any large-scale expansion, is not captured in this dossier excerpt and should not be assumed from it.
A. (1) Most dated deadlines have no recorded outcome; the 'delayed' tags are automated and unverified. (2) The CEO's option grant appears as both 5,000,000 shares (claim 15389) and 2,500,000 shares, with a separate 2.5M unvested tranche (claims 15385, 15386). These may be two parts of one grant and need checking against the source filing. (3) The patent assets' value and revenue, beyond the $250,000 purchase price (claim 15218) and the 30% waterfall interest (claim 15223), are undisclosed. (4) The hosting partner is not named in the claims. (5) The record provides no mining output or revenue figures, so actual operating performance cannot be judged from it.
Frequently asked
2026-09-18A. The disclosed business is cryptocurrency mining, chiefly bitcoin. By mid-2019 the company reported deploying 1,400 mining units (claim 15220) at a Quebec data center of 26,700 square feet (claim 15230), leased through November 2022 (claims 15229, 15219). It also held a patent portfolio: it bought cryptocurrency-related patents from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and held a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special-purpose entity (claim 15223). It was a very small operation, reporting 3 full-time employees (claim 15222). Note that the claims supplied here end in August 2019, so this FAQ covers only 2018–2019.
A. The strategy was to expand crypto mining (claims 15459, 15221) and pay for that expansion mainly by issuing new stock. The company also stated plans to mine Ether (claim 15231), but this record never shows those plans carried out. The funding tools included a $7,472,417 at-the-market (ATM) offering, which lets a company sell shares gradually into the open market. H.C. Wainwright ran that program at a 3% commission (claims 15203, 15204, 15202). Other tools were a private placement of 2,335,000 shares (claim 15151), shareholder approval to issue more than 20% of its stock in non-public deals (claim 15333), authorization for a reverse stock split (claim 15332), and a 10,000,000-share equity incentive plan (claims 15460, 15373).
A. No customers are named, and that is expected for this type of business. A bitcoin miner earns revenue from block rewards and fees paid by the bitcoin network, not by selling to named buyers. The record does name several counterparties: H.C. Wainwright (sales agent for the stock offering), XpresSpa Group (seller of the patents), and Global Bit Ventures (partner in a merger that was terminated, claims 15477, 15461). A third-party hosting arrangement at the Granby facility is also disclosed, with electricity priced at $0.055/kWh (claims 15198, 15153). That hosting provider is not named in the claims shown here.
A. Delivered and disclosed as done: the board was rebuilt after directors resigned (claim 15476), with new appointees including Michael Berg, S. Michael Rudolph and Fred Thiel (claims 15435–15437). Merrick Okamoto became CEO and Executive Chairman at a $350,000 base salary (claims 15387, 15388). Nasdaq confirmed the company had regained compliance with a listing rule in August 2018 (claim 15438). The company deployed 1,400 miners (claim 15220), signed the Quebec lease, bought the XpresSpa patents, and set up the ATM offering. Announced but not shown completed: Ether mining (claim 15231) and a broader mining expansion (claim 15459). The Global Bit Ventures merger was announced and then terminated, with a break-up fee payable in 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461).
A. In this dataset, 'delayed' was assigned automatically. It generally means a promised-by date has passed and the record contains no later claim confirming the outcome. It does not necessarily mean the company missed the target. Examples include: Nasdaq compliance deadlines (claims 15466, 15467, 15468, 15244, 15196), the $1.00 minimum bid price deadline (claim 15383), the reverse split authorization (claim 15332), the lease end dates (claims 15219, 15229), and the ATM termination date (claims 15203, 15206). At least one of the Nasdaq issues was resolved, since claim 15438 records that compliance was regained. The others need to be checked against later filings.
A. They were significant. In 2018 the company disclosed uncertainty about whether it had 12 months of cash (claim 15462), and it repeated a similar caveat in 2019 (claim 15197). From 2018 into 2019 it received several Nasdaq deficiency notices: board and committee composition (claims 15465–15468), the $1.00 minimum bid price (claim 15383), and minimum stockholders' equity (claims 15243, 15196). This combination is typical of a micro-cap company that depends on selling new shares to keep operating, and it points to meaningful dilution risk for existing shareholders.
A. (1) Coverage: the claims end around August 2019 (the last is claim 15153), so everything after that is outside this view. (2) Unclear CEO equity: one claim records 5,000,000 options for Okamoto (claim 15389), while others describe 2,500,000 options plus 2,500,000 unvested options that accelerate on a change of control (claims 15385, 15386). These may be the same grant described two ways, which needs checking. (3) The record never says how the Nasdaq bid-price and equity deficiencies, or the reverse split, were resolved. (4) There is no data on how much of the $7.47M ATM was actually sold. (5) It is unclear whether Ether mining ever began.
A. Start with the filings after August 2019, and look for: (a) whether the company kept its Nasdaq listing, meaning whether the bid-price and equity deficiencies were cured and whether the reverse split was carried out (claims 15383, 15196, 15332); (b) how many shares were issued under the ATM and private placements, and how much that diluted existing shareholders; (c) growth in miner count and hashrate beyond the 1,400 units (claim 15220), and any change in power cost from $0.055/kWh (claim 15153); (d) what happened to the Quebec lease when it expired in November 2022 (claim 15219); and (e) whether the going-concern language was dropped from later filings (claims 15462, 15197).
Frequently asked
2026-09-18A. In the filings on record (mid-2018 to August 2019), Marathon is a very small cryptocurrency miner. It reported about 1,400 bitcoin mining machines deployed [claim 15220] at a leased data center in Quebec of about 26,700 square feet [claims 15230, 15219]. A hosting arrangement at a Granby facility priced electricity at $0.055/kWh [claims 15153, 15198]. It also held a cryptocurrency-related patent bought from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 [claim 15218] and a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special-purpose entity [claim 15223]. In 2019 it reported 3 full-time employees [claim 15222].
A. The stated strategy is to expand cryptocurrency mining [claims 15459, 15221], with plans to mine ether as well as bitcoin [claim 15231]. It funds this mostly by issuing stock: a shelf registration and an at-the-market (ATM) program of up to $7,472,417 through H.C. Wainwright at a 3% commission [claims 15228, 15203, 15204, 15202], an all-stock private placement of 2,335,000 shares [claim 15151], and shareholder approval to issue more than 20% of its stock in non-public deals [claim 15333]. An earlier plan to grow by merging with Global Bit Ventures was terminated in June 2018 [claim 15477]. The termination came with a break-up fee paid in shares, recorded as 3,000,000 shares [claim 15461].
A. None are named, and a miner wouldn't normally have any. Revenue comes from mining rewards on public blockchains, not from contracts with clients. The named counterparties are suppliers and financiers: XpresSpa Group (patent seller), H.C. Wainwright (sales agent for the stock offerings), and Global Bit Ventures (the terminated merger partner). The operator of the Granby hosting facility, which provides security and financial-operations services [claims 15198, 15199, 15200], is not named in these claims.
A. Documented as done: a board rebuild in August 2018 with Michael Berg, S. Michael Rudolph and Fred Thiel as committee chairs [claims 15435, 15436, 15437], and Nasdaq's confirmation that the company had regained compliance with its listing rules [claim 15438]. Also done: Merrick Okamoto appointed CEO and Chairman and David Lieberman appointed CFO [claims 15387, 15390], the patent purchase [claim 15218], and the reported deployment of about 1,400 miners [claim 15220]. Announced but not shown as done: ether mining [claim 15231], broader mining expansion [claim 15459], and how much of the ATM program was actually sold [claim 15203].
A. Treat that label with caution. Almost every claim with a deadline was automatically moved to 'delayed' on 2026-09-15 by the extraction process. That appears to reflect the date passing, not evidence that the deadline was missed. For example, the August 2018 Nasdaq compliance deadlines [claims 15466, 15467] are marked delayed, yet claim 15438 records that compliance was regained on 2018-08-21. A 'delayed' status here should be checked against later filings before anyone reports it as a failure.
A. There were two main risks: running out of cash and losing the Nasdaq listing. The company disclosed doubt about whether it had 12 months of cash in both 2018 and 2019 [claims 15462, 15197]. On the listing side, it faced a $1.00 minimum bid price deadline of April 2019 [claim 15383] and a new listing-rule violation notice in May 2019 [claim 15243]. That notice came with a compliance plan due in July 2019 [claim 15244] and a minimum-equity filing due in November 2019 [claim 15196]. A reverse stock split was authorized in December 2018 [claim 15332], a common response to low share prices. Heavy reliance on share issuance also means dilution for existing shareholders.
A. (1) CEO compensation is inconsistent. One claim records 2.5 million options for Okamoto [claim 15385] and another records 5,000,000 [claim 15389], so the source filing needs checking. (2) The record does not show whether the 2019 Nasdaq issues were resolved or how the reverse split was used [claims 15243, 15383, 15332]. (3) It does not show how much money the ATM program raised [claim 15203]. (4) It does not show whether ether mining ever started [claim 15231]. (5) The patent assets [claims 15218, 15223] have no disclosed revenue or outcome.
A. The claims loaded here stop in August 2019, and the last one is cut off, so this is only the company's early history. The next things to look for are later filings covering: the outcome of the 2019 Nasdaq notices, any reverse split actually carried out, the total raised under the ATM program, and any change in miner count or hosting arrangements after the Quebec lease (which runs through November 2022 [claim 15219]). Nothing after this point should be inferred from this dossier until those claims are added and checked.
Frequently asked
2026-09-18A. In these records, Marathon Digital (MARA) is a small bitcoin miner. It runs mining machines, earns cryptocurrency, and does not sell a product to customers in the usual sense. Claim 15459 (2018) states a plan to expand cryptocurrency mining. By mid-2019 the company reported about 1,400 mining units deployed (claim 15220) at a leased Quebec facility of 26,700 square feet (claim 15230), with a hosting arrangement priced at $0.055/kWh for electricity (claim 15153). It also had a patent side-business: it bought cryptocurrency-related patents from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and held a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special-purpose entity (claim 15223). It was a very small operation, with 3 full-time employees (claim 15222).
A. The records provided end in August 2019, so 'current' here means mid-2019. The strategy then was to stay listed on Nasdaq, raise cash through equity, and grow mining capacity. On mining, it planned to expand crypto mining (claim 15459) and said it had plans to mine ether (claim 15231). On funding, it set up an at-the-market stock sale program with H.C. Wainwright for up to $7,472,417 (claims 15202, 15203), paying a 3% commission (claim 15204). Earlier, in June 2018, it terminated a planned merger with Global Bit Ventures (claim 15477), which involved a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claim 15461). This dossier does not include any later strategy.
A. None are named, and none should be expected. A bitcoin miner earns block rewards and fees from the network, not revenue from identifiable customers. The named counterparties in the record are suppliers and financiers, not buyers. They include H.C. Wainwright as sales agent for the stock offering (claim 15202) and XpresSpa Group as the seller of the patents (claim 15218). The Granby, Quebec hosting and facility arrangements are recorded (claims 15198, 15219), but the extracted claims do not name the landlord or host. The security-services and financial-operations partners (claims 15199, 15200) are also unnamed.
A. Documented as done: the merger termination (claim 15477); new board members Michael Berg, S. Michael Rudolph and Fred Thiel (claims 15435–15437); regained compliance with a Nasdaq listing rule in August 2018 (claim 15438); Merrick Okamoto as CEO and Chairman (claim 15384); the Quebec facility lease at $120,150 (claim 15219); roughly 1,400 machines deployed (claim 15220); and the patent purchase (claim 15218). Announced without a recorded outcome: the ether mining plans (claim 15231), the broader expansion (claim 15459), and how much of the $7,472,417 stock program was actually sold (claim 15203). No claim reports actual hashrate, bitcoin produced, or revenue.
A. Not necessarily. Every one of those claims was switched from 'stated' to 'delayed' by an automated pass on 2026-09-14/15. That label seems to mean only that the promised-by date has passed without a confirming record. It is not evidence of a missed deadline. Claim 15465 (appointing two independent directors by 2019-01-07) is marked delayed, yet claims 15435–15438 show the directors were appointed and compliance was regained in August 2018. Treat every 'delayed' status as unverified until someone checks it against the filings.
A. Fragile, going by these records. The company itself disclosed doubt about having 12 months of cash, in 2018 (claim 15462) and again in 2019 (claim 15197). It had repeated Nasdaq problems. These included board and committee requirements (claims 15467, 15468), the $1.00 minimum share price (claim 15383), a listing-rule violation notice in May 2019 (claim 15243), and a minimum shareholders' equity requirement (claim 15196). Shareholders authorized a reverse stock split (claim 15332). After later transactions, it reported 8,720,405 common shares outstanding (claim 15152).
A. First, get the rest of the record. This claim list stops at August 2019, and later filings are needed to judge the company today. Next, look for: whether the Nasdaq equity problem (claim 15196) and the share-price problem (claim 15383) were resolved; how much of the stock program was used and how much it diluted shareholders (claim 15203); what happened to the Quebec lease, whose term ran through November 2022 (claim 15229); whether ether mining ever started (claim 15231); and whether the patent entity (claim 15223) produced any money. Also check any reported bitcoin production or hashrate, since none appears here.
A. (1) Coverage. The records end in 2019, so they cannot speak to the company's current scale or strategy. (2) Conflicting numbers. The CEO's stock options appear as both 2,500,000 (claim 15385) and 5,000,000 (claim 15389). Claim 15386 describes a further 2.5 million unvested options, so 5,000,000 may be the total, but the filing needs to confirm it. The 2018 equity plan reserve appears twice at 10,000,000 shares (claims 15360, 15373). (3) Status labels. The automated 'delayed' tags are unverified, as explained above. (4) Operations. There are no disclosed figures on output, costs, or revenue. Machine count, facility size, and power price are the only operating metrics.
Frequently asked
2026-09-15A. In the disclosures on file, Marathon Digital (MARA) is a cryptocurrency miner. It describes expanding into crypto mining in 2018 (claim 15459) and running Bitcoin mining operations in 2019 (claim 15221). It also mentioned plans to mine Ether (claim 15231). As of July 2019 it reported only 3 full-time employees (claim 15222) and held a small patent-related interest: a patent bought from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and a 30% waterfall interest in a patent entity (claim 15223). Important caveat: this dossier's claims run only from June 2018 to August 2019, so it does not describe the company today.
A. The strategy was to grow mining capacity while keeping the company funded and listed. On capacity, it leased a 26,700 sq ft facility in Quebec through November 2022 (claims 15230, 15229), deployed 1,400 Bitcoin miners (claim 15220), and agreed to buy 6,000 Bitmain S-9 Antminers hosted at a stated electricity cost of $0.055/kWh (claims 15150, 15153). Earlier, it tried to merge with Global Bit Ventures, but that deal was terminated in June 2018 (claim 15477). To fund all this, it used an at-the-market stock offering of up to $7,472,417 through H.C. Wainwright (claims 15203, 15202).
A. None are named, and that is expected for a miner. A Bitcoin miner earns block rewards and fees from the network rather than selling to identifiable customers. The record does name counterparties instead: H.C. Wainwright as sales agent (claim 15202), XpresSpa Group as the patent seller (claim 15218), and Bitmain as the equipment maker (claim 15150). It also references an operator at the Granby facility that provides hosting, security, and financial operations management (claims 15198, 15199, 15200), but that operator is not identified by name in the claims shown.
A. Documented as done: a board rebuild that led NASDAQ to confirm restored compliance in August 2018 (claims 15435–15438), and the hiring of Merrick Okamoto as CEO at a $350,000 base salary with 5,000,000 options (claims 15387–15389). The Quebec lease and the 1,400-miner deployment are stated as facts (claims 15229, 15220). Only announced or planned: Ether mining (claim 15231), the 6,000-miner purchase (claim 15150), and use of the $7.47M offering capacity (claim 15203). The record does not show how much of the offering was actually sold, or whether all 6,000 miners arrived.
A. Treat that label with caution. Nearly every dated item was automatically moved to 'delayed' on 2026-09-15, which appears to mean only that its deadline passed with no resolution recorded. It is not confirmed evidence of a miss. One clear inconsistency: the Global Bit Ventures termination is marked 'delayed' (claim 15461), but another claim states the merger was already terminated (claim 15477). Likewise, the 2019-01-07 director-appointment deadline (claim 15465) appears to have been met by the August 2018 appointments (claims 15435–15436).
A. There were three. First, going-concern doubt: the company flagged uncertainty about having a 12-month cash runway in 2018 (claim 15462) and again in 2019 (claim 15197). Second, repeated NASDAQ compliance problems: a $1.00 minimum bid price deadline (claim 15383), a new listing-rule violation in May 2019 (claims 15243, 15244), and a minimum-equity filing due November 2019 (claim 15196). Third, dilution: a 10,000,000-share incentive plan (claim 15460), approval to issue more than 20% in non-public securities (claim 15333), a reverse split authorization (claim 15332), and the at-the-market offering.
A. Start by filling the gap from August 2019 to now, since the claims record is either truncated or not yet extracted for later years. Then check whether the November 2019 NASDAQ equity filing was accepted (claim 15196), whether the 6,000 S-9 miners were delivered and running (claim 15150), and how much of the $7.47M at-the-market capacity was used (claim 15203). It is also worth checking whether the Quebec lease ran to November 2022 or ended early (claim 15229).
A. (1) Coverage: this dossier stops in 2019, so no conclusions about the current company should be drawn from it. (2) Status reliability: the automated 'delayed' labels need manual review against later filings. (3) Economics: no revenue, hash rate, or Bitcoin production figures appear in the record, so mining output cannot be assessed. (4) Counterparties: the Granby hosting operator's identity and contract terms are not captured.
Frequently asked
2026-09-15A. The disclosures describe a small company moving into cryptocurrency mining. Filings from 2018 describe a mining expansion (claim 15459), and by mid-2019 it reported bitcoin mining operations (claim 15221) at a 26,700 sq ft facility in Quebec (claim 15230). It also held a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special-purpose entity (claim 15223) and bought a cryptocurrency patent from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218), which suggests it was a patent-holding business before it was a miner. In mid-2019 it reported just 3 full-time employees (claim 15222).
A. The strategy is to scale up mining capacity and pay for it by selling stock. It deployed 1,400 bitcoin mining units (claim 15220), then disclosed an acquisition of 6,000 Bitmain S-9 Antminers (claim 15150). It also mentioned plans to mine Ether (claim 15231). Funding came from a roughly $7.47M shelf registration and an at-the-market (ATM) offering through H.C. Wainwright (claims 15228, 15203, 15202), with a 3% sales commission (claim 15204). Its board also authorized a reverse stock split (claim 15332) and approved issuing more than 20% of its shares in private deals (claim 15333).
A. None are named. As a miner, the company earns block rewards rather than selling to customers. The counterparties named in the record are service providers: H.C. Wainwright as ATM sales agent (claim 15202) and XpresSpa Group as the seller of a patent (claim 15218). A hosting and operations arrangement at a Granby facility is disclosed (claims 15198, 15199, 15200), with electricity priced at $0.055/kWh (claim 15153), but the record does not name the hosting partner.
A. The record shows these as delivered: board appointments in August 2018 (claims 15435–15437), a return to NASDAQ compliance on 2018-08-21 (claim 15438), a Quebec facility under lease (claim 15230), and 1,400 miners deployed (claim 15220). The Ether mining plans (claim 15231) were only announced, with no follow-up in the record. The 6,000-miner acquisition (claim 15150) was disclosed, but the record contains no confirmation that the machines were installed or running.
A. Most 'delayed' labels were applied automatically on 2026-09-15 to promises whose deadlines have passed, where the record has no later confirmation. The label does not necessarily mean the company missed the deadline. For example, the Global Bit Ventures merger termination is marked delayed (claim 15461), yet a separate record states the merger was terminated (claim 15477). Treat 'delayed' as 'resolution not documented here' and verify against later filings.
A. It was shaky. In 2018 the company faced several NASDAQ governance deadlines covering its compliance plan, board independence, and compensation committee (claims 15466, 15467, 15465, 15468). It regained compliance in August 2018 (claim 15438). By October 2018 it faced a $1.00 minimum bid price deadline (claim 15383), and on 2019-05-23 it disclosed a new listing rule violation (claim 15243) along with a minimum equity deadline (claim 15196). These repeated problems, together with the reverse split authorization (claim 15332), point to ongoing listing pressure.
A. (1) Going concern: the company twice flagged doubt about whether its cash would last 12 months (claims 15462, 15197), and the record shows neither concern resolved. (2) Dilution: executive option grants were large, including 5,000,000 options for CEO Merrick Okamoto (claim 15389), plus an equity plan reserve of 10,000,000 shares (claim 15460) and ongoing ATM stock sales. (3) Whether the 6,000 S-9 miners (claim 15150) were ever deployed. (4) Whether the Quebec lease, which runs to November 2022 (claims 15229, 15219), was renewed.
A. The record ends at claim 15150, dated 2019-08-28, and appears truncated. Nothing after mid-2019 is covered, so this dossier says nothing about the company's current scale, fleet size, or finances. Readers should look in later filings for: whether the S-9 fleet was deployed, how NASDAQ equity and bid price compliance was resolved, whether the reverse split happened, how much the ATM program raised, and whether the going-concern warnings were lifted.
Frequently asked
2026-09-14A. It mines cryptocurrency, mainly bitcoin, using specialized computers. The filings describe mining operations (claim 15221) at a leased 26,700 sq ft facility in Quebec (claim 15230), with 1,400 mining units deployed (claim 15220). The company also acquired cryptocurrency patents from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and holds a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223). It was very small at the time, with 3 full-time employees (claim 15222).
A. The claims shown here run only from October 2018 to November 2019, so they describe the company's early turn toward mining, not its present state. The strategy in that window was to scale up bitcoin mining by buying hardware largely with stock. It agreed to buy 6,000 Bitmain S-9 miners for 2,335,000 shares (claims 15150, 15151, 15136), valued at $4,086,250 (claims 15062, 15071). It also arranged third-party hosting at $0.055/kWh (claim 15153) and mentioned plans to mine Ether (claim 15231). Funding came from an at-the-market stock offering of up to $7,472,417 through H.C. Wainwright (claims 15202, 15203).
A. No customers are named. A bitcoin miner earns block rewards and fees from the network, so it usually has no customers in the ordinary sense. The named counterparties are suppliers and service providers: XpresSpa Group (patent seller, claim 15218), SelectGreen (equipment seller, claim 15062), H.C. Wainwright (sales agent, claim 15202) and RBSM, LLP (auditor, claim 15051). The partners that run the Granby facility, provide 24-hour security and handle financial operations are not named (claims 15068, 15069, 15070).
A. Every claim is marked 'stated'. Nothing has been independently verified as delivered. The closest things to completed events are the company's own reports that it regained Nasdaq compliance (claims 15060, 15052) and the 1,400 deployed units (claim 15220). The 6,000-miner purchase appears in four separate claims (15150, 15141, 15136, 15101), but it is one transaction, not four. On 2019-11-07 a related share issuance worth $1,852,477 was still pending (claim 15066). An equipment acquisition dated 'by 2019-09-30' was still being described in November (claim 15071). Actual sales under the ATM program were only $79,817 (claim 15061), against up to $7,472,417 in capacity (claim 15203).
A. Yes, several times. It faced a minimum bid price deadline of 2019-04-15 (claim 15383) and got shareholder authorization for a reverse stock split (claim 15332). On 2019-05-23 it was cited for a listing rule violation, with a compliance plan due 2019-07-05 (claims 15243, 15244). A minimum-equity compliance filing was then due by 2019-11-13 (claims 15196, 15067). The company says it regained compliance in November 2019 (claims 15060, 15052), but that is its own statement.
A. Merrick Okamoto was appointed Executive Chairman and CEO (claims 15384, 15387) with a $350,000 base salary (claim 15388). David Lieberman became CFO (claim 15390) at $180,000 (claim 15391) plus 200,000 options (claim 15392). The option figures for Okamoto don't line up: one claim says 5,000,000 options (claim 15389), while others mention 2.5 million issued and 2.5 million unvested with change-of-control acceleration (claims 15385, 15386). These may be the same grant split in two, but the record doesn't say. The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserved 10,000,000 shares (claim 15373).
A. The record contains several dated commitments with no recorded outcome. Management said it had enough cash to operate through 2020-07-31 (claim 15197). The ATM agreement was set to end on 2022-07-19 (claims 15203, 15206). The Quebec facility lease runs through 2022-11-30 at $120,150 (claims 15219, 15229). All of these dates have passed. A reader should look for later filings showing whether the cash lasted, whether the ATM was used up or replaced, and whether the Quebec lease was renewed or dropped.
A. 1. The record stops in November 2019, so nothing here describes the company's current operations, fleet size, finances or leadership. 2. No claim is verified; all were set to 'stated' by automated extraction. 3. It's unclear whether the 6,000 S-9 miners were all delivered, hosted and running, and whether the $1,852,477 pending share issuance (claim 15066) was completed. 4. The Ether mining plans (claim 15231) and the patent strategy (claims 15218, 15223) have no follow-up. 5. The Okamoto option counts need to be reconciled (claims 15385, 15386, 15389). 6. The company depended on selling stock to fund growth, which dilutes existing shareholders. After the miner deal there were 8,720,405 shares outstanding (claim 15152).
Frequently asked
2026-09-14A. Marathon mines cryptocurrency. It buys specialized mining computers and runs them to earn newly issued coins. Its March 2020 disclosures describe bitcoin and ether mining and plans to expand (claims 14980, 14981, 14985). In July 2020 it reported only 3 full-time employees (claim 14890), so it was a very small operation at that point. Note that this dossier ends in August 2020 and is cut off mid-entry, so it does not cover anything after that.
A. The strategy was to buy more and newer mining machines. It started with 6,000 older Bitmain S-9 miners bought from SelectGreen Blockchain for $4,086,250 (claims 14851, 15062). It then ordered newer machines: 700 MicroBT miners for about $1.3M (claim 14852) and 1,660 Bitmain S-19 Pro miners for about $4.2M (claim 14853). The stated goal was about 240 PH/s of total computing power once all of them were running (claims 14871, 14887, 14906).
A. A bitcoin miner has no customers in the usual sense. It earns coins from the network and sells them. The record names service partners, not buyers: ViaBTC, the mining pool it joined (claim 14888), and Cumberland DRW, a crypto trading firm (claim 14889). It also names partners for its Granby facility, security, and financial operations, but not by company name (claims 15068-15070). H.C. Wainwright appears as the company's fundraising agent, not as a customer (claims 14848, 14850).
A. Not all claims on record are independently verified. Every claim is marked 'stated', meaning it is what the company said, with no confirmation. In August 2020 the company reported that S-19 Pro miners were producing 73 PH/s (claim 14857) and MicroBT miners 56 PH/s (claim 14856). Together that is about 129 PH/s, roughly half the 240 PH/s target. The record does not confirm that 660 S-19 Pros arrived by mid-August 2020 (claims 14854, 14873) or that 1,000 more arrived in Q4 2020 (claim 14855). The MicroBT model name also varies across filings (M30S+, M31S+, M305+), which is likely an extraction error.
A. Mostly by selling new shares, which dilutes existing shareholders. It had a $7.5M at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright (claim 14848) and sold about $7.1M through it in the first half of 2020 (claim 14849). It raised about $6.9M in an underwritten offering (claim 14850). It filed a $100M shelf registration allowing future offerings (claim 14874). It also cut the conversion price on a convertible note worth about $999K (claims 14892, 14913). In 2019, stockholders approved issuing more than 19.99% of its shares (claim 15048).
A. Yes, more than once. In November 2019 it said it had regained compliance with Nasdaq's minimum equity rule (claims 15052, 15060). In April 2020 it was notified that its share price had stayed below the $1.00 minimum (claim 14943), with a deadline later extended to December 17, 2020 (claims 14936, 14894). In August 2020 it said it regained compliance as of August 6, 2020 (claim 14864). This is the company's own claim, and the record cuts off before any confirmation.
A. First, whether the remaining 1,000 S-19 Pro miners were delivered and the 240 PH/s target was actually reached (claims 14855, 14871). Second, whether its share count kept growing under the $100M shelf (claim 14874). Third, whether Nasdaq compliance held. Finally, look for filings after August 2020, because this record contains none.
A. 1) No claim is verified, and delivery and deployment dates have no confirmed outcomes. 2) The record ends abruptly in August 2020, so nothing here reflects the company today. 3) Several figures look like extraction errors: model names differ, one entry lists a 2019 deadline for a 2020 filing, and one ATM entry shows $79,817 (claim 15061). Check these against the original SEC filings. 4) Cost and profit per coin mined are not disclosed here, so it is unclear whether mining was profitable.
Frequently asked
2026-09-14A. Based on the filings on record, Marathon mines bitcoin for its own account. It buys specialized mining computers (ASIC miners from Bitmain and MicroBT) and pays partners to host, operate and secure them. As of mid-2020 it reported just 3 full-time employees (claim 14890), so most operational work is contracted out: Compute North for hosting (14861), Block Maintain for operations at the Granby facility (14859), and Securitas Canada for security (14860).
A. In 2020 Marathon disclosed a strategy of scaling up quickly by buying much larger fleets of newer miners, paid for largely by selling stock. It bought 6,000 older S-9 miners from SelectGreen Blockchain for about $4.09M (14851) and roughly 1,660 S-19 Pro miners for about $4.2M (14853). It then signed a much larger order for 10,500 S-19 Pro miners at a total price of about $23.16M (14842, 14843). In October 2020 it also disclosed an exclusive power purchase agreement with Beowulf (14791), a Phase I construction cost of $14M (14793) and an operating cost rate of $0.006/kWh (14800). The records shown here end in October 2020, so this dossier does not establish the company's current strategy.
A. None are named. A self-mining business earns bitcoin from the network itself, so it does not have customers in the usual sense. The named counterparties are suppliers and service partners: Bitmain, MicroBT, SelectGreen, Compute North, Block Maintain, Securitas Canada and Beowulf. It also has the ViaBTC mining pool (14888) and Cumberland DRW for crypto trading (14889). Readers should not treat any of these as revenue customers.
A. Every claim on record has the status 'stated', and none has been independently verified as delivered. The closest thing to an operating figure is the August 2020 report that installed S-19 Pro miners were producing 73 PH/s (14857) and MicroBT miners 56 PH/s (14856). The targets were larger: about 240 PH/s once announced miners were deployed (14871) and 294 PH/s once all S-19 Pros were installed (14858). Deliveries were forward-looking promises, including 660 S-19 Pros by mid-August 2020 (14854), 1,000 in Q4 2020 (14855) and 10,500 by June 30, 2021 (14845). The record does not confirm any of these arrived on schedule.
A. They were fragile. In August 2020 the company disclosed substantial doubt about its ability to keep funding operations, known as a 'going concern' warning (14865). Its funding came from repeated stock sales: - About $7.1M raised through at-the-market sales in the first half of 2020 (14849) - A $6.9M underwritten offering with H.C. Wainwright (14850) - A $100M shelf registration (14874) It also amended a convertible note to lower its conversion price (14892). For existing shareholders, this pattern means significant dilution.
A. Marathon's shares traded below Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid price (14893), which put its listing at risk. It received a compliance deadline of December 17, 2020 (14863). The company then said it had regained compliance as of August 6, 2020 (14864). That statement is the company's own claim, and this dossier has not verified it.
A. Check the later filings for: - Whether the 10,500-unit S-19 Pro order was fully delivered by June 30, 2021 (14845) - Whether actual hashrate reached the stated 240–294 PH/s targets (14871, 14858) - Whether the Beowulf power agreement and Phase I build were completed at the stated $14M cost (14793) - Whether the going-concern warning was lifted - How much more stock was issued to pay for all of this
A. First, delivery is unverified: every claim is still 'stated', so announcements have not been matched to results. Second, the extracted records contain inconsistencies. The same 700-unit MicroBT order appears as M30S+, M31S+ and M305+ (14884, 14872, 14852). The capacity target appears as both 240 and 294 PH/s (14871, 14858). One ATM agreement lists a 'promised by' date of 2019-07-19, which is earlier than the filing itself (14848). Third, the $0.006/kWh cost figure (14800) is unusually low and should be checked against the source filing. Finally, the claims list supplied here stops partway through October 2020, so events after that are not covered.
Frequently asked
2026-09-14A. The records describe a Bitcoin miner. The company buys specialized mining computers (ASICs) from Bitmain, runs them at hosted sites and at a power station in Hardin, Montana, and also holds Bitcoin on its balance sheet. The filings cite a total mining hashrate of 240 PH/s (claim 14286) and a Bitcoin purchase of $150M in January 2021 (claims 14291, 14297: 4,812.66 BTC).
A. The strategy on record is to grow mining capacity quickly and pay for it with capital markets and credit. On the hardware side, it has a series of Bitmain purchase contracts, including a $126M S-19j Pro order for 30,000 units due by mid-2022 (claims 14522, 14523, 14344). For hosting, it has an agreement with Compute North for 73,000 miners (claims 14591, 14346, 14287), partly through an 82%-owned joint venture hosting 30,000 miners (claims 14347, 14348). Funding comes from $747.5M of 1% convertible notes (claims 14279, 14387, 14369, 14386) and a $100M Silvergate Bank revolving credit facility (claim 14440). It also holds Bitcoin directly as a treasury asset.
A. None are named. A miner's revenue comes from the Bitcoin network in the form of block rewards and fees, not from contracted customers. The named counterparties are suppliers, hosts and lenders: Bitmain (miners), Compute North (hosting), DMG Blockseer (a pool technology license, claim 14288), NYDIG (a 300 BTC securities loan, claims 14464, 14290) and Silvergate Bank (credit facility, claim 14440).
A. The record can't tell us yet. Every claim in the file has status 'stated', which means it was extracted from filings but not independently verified as delivered or missed. Several had deadlines that have long passed: 73,000 hosted miners by 2022-03-31 or 2022-06-30 (claims 14284, 14346), 30,000 S-19j Pro units by 2022-06-30 (claim 14523), and Hardin power station maintenance by 2022-12-31 (claim 14285). None has been marked as met. Completed financings are the most concrete items: the $650M notes plus a $97.5M add-on were issued (claims 14387, 14369).
A. The biggest item is the convertible notes, which are due December 1, 2026, less than three months from today (claim 14387; claim 14279 lists 2026-11-18, a date discrepancy to resolve). Readers should watch whether the roughly $747.5M is repaid, refinanced or converted into shares. Other items to follow are the outcome of the SEC investigation and subpoena (claim 14292) and verification of the overdue capacity and delivery milestones.
A. The 2022-03-09 filing discloses an SEC investigation and subpoena (claim 14292). No later claim in the dossier records a resolution, so the outcome is an open question.
A. 1) The record is stale and incomplete. The claims seen run only through early 2022 and the list is cut off mid-entry, so later history is missing. 2) Several dollar figures look mis-scaled by automated extraction, such as '67.0 USD' for the Compute North bridge loan (claims 14593, 14311), '200.0 USD' for a $200M offering (claim 14296), '100.0 USD' for the $100M facility (claims 14298, 14312), and '0.5 USD/machine/month' hosting terms (claim 14289). 3) The file doesn't show whether Compute North, the key hosting partner, delivered the promised capacity. 4) Silvergate facility covenants ($25M minimum liquidity, a 0.5 debt-to-equity cap and a 65% LTV requirement; claims 14444, 14445, 14446) had a 2022-10-01 renewal date (claim 14440) with no recorded outcome.
A. As of May 2021 the board had five directors, three independent and two insiders (claims 14600, 14601). Georges Antoun and Jay Leupp joined, Michael Berg stepped down, and Peter Benz moved to VP of corporate development (claims 14596–14599). Sarita James and Said Ouissal were later added as independent directors (claim 14323). A CEO appointment is noted without detail in claim 14293.
Frequently asked
2026-09-14A. Marathon (MARA) is a bitcoin miner. It buys specialized computers called ASIC miners, runs them in data centers (its own and hosted ones), and earns bitcoin. It also holds bitcoin on its balance sheet. The record shows a January 2021 purchase of 4,812.66 BTC for about $150M (claims 14297, 14329).
A. The record describes rapid, debt-funded scaling. Marathon ordered large batches of Bitmain miners, including 70,000 S-19s for about $167.8M (claim 14301) and 30,000 S-19j Pros for $126M (claims 14302, 14522). It arranged for most of these to be hosted by third parties rather than building its own sites. It paid for this with equity, a $650M 1% convertible note (claim 14387) plus a $97.5M add-on (claim 14369), a $100M Silvergate revolving credit line (claim 14440), and a 300 BTC loan from NYDIG (claim 14464).
A. As a miner, Marathon has no named customers in the usual sense. Its revenue comes from the bitcoin network itself. The parties named in the record are suppliers, hosts and lenders: Bitmain (hardware), Compute North (hosting, including an 82%-owned joint venture, claim 14347), Silvergate Bank and NYDIG (financing), and DMG Blockchain (a $500K software license, claim 14330).
A. Nothing in the record is confirmed as delivered. All claims are marked 'stated', meaning they were taken from filings and none has been checked against a later outcome. Key dated promises lack any recorded follow-up. These include delivery of 30,000 S-19j Pro miners by June 30, 2022 (claim 14523) and hosting of 73,000 miners with Compute North, dated both March 31, 2022 (claim 14332) and June 30, 2022 (claim 14346). Treat the fleet-size and hosting figures as plans, not proof of machines actually running.
A. Heavily, based on the disclosures. Compute North was to host 73,000 miners (claims 14332, 14346), which is most of the ordered fleet. Marathon signed a binding letter of intent worth about $67M (claim 14331), paid a $14.6M initial deposit (claim 14333), and holds 82% of a joint venture hosting 30,000 miners (claims 14347, 14348). If that host fails to perform, a large share of the fleet has nowhere to run. The record contains no later update on how this relationship turned out.
A. Marathon disclosed an SEC investigation and subpoena related to its Hardin, Montana data center (claims 14324, 14338). The record gives no outcome. On governance, Fred Thiel was appointed CEO (claim 14319), and the board was substantially reshaped (claims 14321, 14322, 14323). Merrick Okamoto received conditional awards of about 6 million restricted stock units tied to market-cap milestones (claim 14320).
A. The most pressing date is the $650M 1% convertible notes, due December 1, 2026 (claim 14387). Some records list 2026-11-18 (claims 14313, 14327), a discrepancy worth confirming against the indenture. The separate $97.5M tranche matures around the same time (claim 14328). Watch whether the notes are repaid, refinanced or converted into shares, which would dilute existing holders. Also watch for any resolution of the SEC Hardin matter.
A. 1) Coverage is stale. The claims come from filings dated 2021 to early 2022, so later developments are missing, including actual fleet size, hosting outcomes and debt changes. 2) Nothing has been verified: every claim is still 'stated'. 3) Some extracted figures are unit-garbled, such as '97.5 USD' where $97.5M is meant (claims 14300, 14314). 4) Several items are duplicated with inconsistent dates. 5) It is unknown whether the Silvergate facility's covenants were kept or the facility was renewed. Those covenants were a $25M minimum liquidity (claim 14444) and a 65% loan-to-value limit (claim 14446), and the facility term ran to October 2022 (claim 14440). Note that the input list itself was cut off, so additional claims may exist.
Frequently asked
2026-09-14A. Marathon Digital is a bitcoin miner. It runs large fleets of specialized computers ('mining rigs') that compete to validate bitcoin transactions and earn newly issued bitcoin. Its filings describe the bitcoin mining business as its focus (claim 13819). Its scale is usually measured in hashrate, expressed as exahashes per second (EH/s), and in megawatts (MW) of power capacity at hosting sites.
A. The records in this dossier describe three threads. First, growing hashrate: MARA guided to 23 EH/s by 2023-09-30 (claims 13088, 13075, 13067). Second, deploying rigs at hosted sites: 57,000 units at Ellendale, ND (claims 13080, 13070), 10,400 air-cooled units at Jamestown, ND (claim 13081), a 19 MW immersion-cooling expansion at Garden City, TX (claim 13079), and 4,000 units at McCamey, TX (claim 13078). Third, moving toward renewable power: it planned to exit the 110 MW Hardin facility (claims 14094, 14095), move those miners to renewable sites by 2022-09-30 (claim 14096), and become carbon neutral by the end of 2022 (claim 14097).
A. None are named, and a miner of this type doesn't have customers in the usual sense. Its revenue comes from bitcoin block rewards and transaction fees paid by the network. None of the claims on record identify a named customer, offtaker, or hosting client. The counterparties that do appear are lenders and hosting sites. The lender is Silvergate Bank (claims 13835, 13836), and the sites are Hardin, Ellendale, Jamestown, Garden City, and McCamey.
A. Nothing in this dossier is marked as verified delivered. Every operational target has status 'stated' or 'delayed'. Delayed items include the 23 EH/s target, the Ellendale, Jamestown, Garden City, and McCamey deployments, and the 2022 Form 10-K, which was expected by 2023-03-16 (claim 13319). The completed events on record are financial and corporate. The company drew $35M on its revolving credit line (claim 13817), raised about $161.0M through an at-the-market stock offering (claim 13818), and had about $730.3M of convertible senior notes outstanding (claim 13816). The Silvergate loan facilities were terminated on 2023-03-07, and the bank waived the 0.50% prepayment charge and the 90-day notice period (claims 13180, 13181, 13182).
A. Yes. In February 2023 the company disclosed an SEC comment letter on accounting matters (claim 13318) and a restatement of previously issued financial statements (claim 13320). Its 2022 annual report, expected by 2023-03-16, is flagged as delayed (claim 13319). A restatement means earlier reported numbers were wrong. Treat any pre-restatement financial figures with caution.
A. 1) Whether later filings confirm the 23 EH/s target was reached, and when (claim 13088). 2) Whether the Ellendale 57,000-unit deployment actually came online. The dossier shows two different deadlines for it, 2023-03-31 and 2023-06-30 (claims 13070, 13080). 3) Whether the Hardin exit and the carbon-neutral pledge were ever confirmed as completed (claims 14095, 14096, 14097). 4) How the roughly $730M convertible note load was handled after the Silvergate credit lines were closed (claims 13816, 13180).
A. Four stand out. First, delivery: no hashrate or deployment target is marked fulfilled, so it is unclear how much of the announced build-out happened on schedule. Second, reliability of the numbers, given the restatement and SEC comment letter (claims 13318, 13320). Third, the environmental pledges, which have no recorded outcome (claims 14096, 14097). Fourth, the 'delayed' statuses themselves. Automated extraction assigned them on 2026-09-14, and they have not been checked against later company disclosures.
A. Yes, several. The records shown end in March 2023, so later developments are not reflected. Some extracted values appear inconsistent or mis-parsed. The CFO's RSU grant is recorded as both 50,000 units (claim 14087) and 150,000 units (claims 13965, 13707). The CEO's 500,000-RSU vesting date appears as both 2022-04-26 (claim 13705) and 2024-04-26 (claim 13964). Settlement payments to the former CEO are listed as '24.0 USD' and '1.0 USD' (claims 13531, 13532), which is almost certainly a unit error. Finally, John Lee's CAO appointment is marked 'delayed' against a past date (claim 13062). Check these against the source filings before quoting them.
Frequently asked
2026-09-14A. Based on the filings in this dossier, Marathon is a Bitcoin mining company (claim 13819). It runs large fleets of specialized mining computers at hosted and partner sites, mostly in North Dakota, Nebraska and Texas, with a joint venture in Abu Dhabi. Its output is measured in hashrate (exahashes per second, EH/s) and in the number of machines powered on, or 'energized'.
A. The claims on record end in March 2023, so this dossier cannot describe Marathon's strategy today. As of early 2023, the plan was rapid fleet growth. The company targeted 23 EH/s of operational hashrate by Q3 2023 (claims 12955, 12971, 12979, 13057) and about 200,000 energized machines (claim 12956). It also planned international expansion through a 250 MW Abu Dhabi facility (claim 13064), backed by an $81.2M joint venture capital contribution (claim 12974). Readers should look for more recent filings before treating any of this as current.
A. No customers are named on record. As a self-mining business, Marathon earns Bitcoin through mining rewards rather than selling to named clients. The counterparties that do appear are lenders and hosting or site arrangements. Examples are Silvergate Bank (claims 13835, 13836) and a Plano, TX contract expiring June 2027 (claim 13102). The Abu Dhabi joint venture partner is not named in these claims.
A. Very little in this record is independently confirmed as delivered. Several dated 2023 promises are marked 'delayed': the 23 EH/s target by Q3 2023 (claim 12955), energizing Ellendale, ND by Q1 2023 (claim 12960), deploying 57,000 rigs at Ellendale by mid-2023 (claims 12959, 13050), and the Jamestown, ND deployments of 10,400 air-cooled units (claim 12961) and 768 immersion units (claims 12962, 13052). Other capacity claims are only 'stated', meaning the company said them but delivery is not verified. These include 1,300 units at Kearney, NE (claim 13103), 4,000 more rigs at McCamey, TX (claim 12957) and a 19 MW immersion expansion at Garden City, TX (claim 12958). The status changes dated September 2026 reflect this dossier's own review process, not company events.
A. Mainly through capital markets and, briefly, bank debt. By August 2022 it had about $730.3M of convertible senior notes outstanding (claim 13816) and had raised about $161.0M through at-the-market stock sales (claim 13818). In 2022 it set up a $100M term loan and a $100M revolving credit facility with Silvergate Bank (claims 13836, 13835) and drew $35M on the revolver (claim 13817). Those loans carried a $25M minimum liquidity covenant (claim 13840) and a $350M minimum adjusted net worth covenant (claim 13839). The facilities were terminated in March 2023 (claim 13180). Silvergate waived the 0.5% prepayment charge (claim 13195) and the 90-day notice requirement (claim 13182).
A. Yes. In February 2023 the company disclosed an SEC comment letter on accounting matters (claim 13318) and a restatement of its financial statements (claim 13320). Its 2022 Form 10-K, expected by March 16, 2023, is marked delayed (claim 13319). The company also paid former CEO Merrick Okamoto an RSU settlement of $24.0M (claim 12986) and paid $2.1M to seven other recipients (claim 12987). Two related extracted claims show inconsistent figures: '24.0 USD' (claim 13531) and '1.0 USD' paid to five individuals (claim 13532). These look like unit or extraction errors and should be checked against the source filing.
A. Fred Thiel is CEO and Chairman (claims 13961, 13666), Hugh Gallagher is CFO (claims 13962, 13665), and Simeon Salzman is Chief Accounting Officer (claim 13963). James Crawford is named as COO in the equity grants (claim 13706). Disclosed restricted stock unit (RSU) grants include 500,000 for the CEO (claim 13964) and 150,000 each for the CFO and COO (claims 13965, 13706). The COO and CAO vesting schedules run to April 1, 2026 (claims 13668, 13670).
A. The biggest gap is the timeline itself. This record stops in March 2023 and appears truncated, so it says nothing about what Marathon has done since. Four questions matter most. First, did the delayed 2023 targets (23 EH/s, claim 12955; the Ellendale and Jamestown deployments, claims 12959 and 12961) eventually get met, and when? Second, did the Abu Dhabi 250 MW facility (claim 13064) become operational, since no timeline is given (claim 12975)? Third, did the restatement and SEC comment process (claims 13318, 13320) close out cleanly? Fourth, how was the $730.3M in convertible notes (claim 13816) handled after the Silvergate facilities ended? A dated item to watch is the Plano, TX contract expiring June 2027 (claim 13102).
Frequently asked
2026-09-14A. MARA says its business is bitcoin mining (claim 13819). It runs large fleets of specialized computers ('rigs') that compete to earn bitcoin, and it reports capacity as hashrate in exahashes per second (EH/s). The record describes sites it operates or has hosted by partners in Texas (Garden City, McCamey), North Dakota (Ellendale, Jamestown) and Nebraska (Kearney), plus a planned joint venture in Abu Dhabi.
A. In March 2023 the stated plan was fast capacity growth: reach 23 EH/s of operating hashrate by Q3 2023 (claims 12955, 12971, 12979, 13057) and eventually energize a fleet of about 200,000 rigs (claim 12956). Specific steps included deploying 57,000 rigs at Ellendale, ND by mid-2023 (claims 12959, 13050), adding 4,000 rigs at McCamey, TX (claims 12957, 12980), a 19 MW immersion-cooling expansion at Garden City, TX (claims 12958, 12981), 10,400 air-cooled units at Jamestown, ND (claim 13097), and 1,300 rigs at Kearney, NE (claim 13054). It also planned to expand abroad through an Abu Dhabi mining joint venture with FS Innovation, with a stated MARA capital contribution of $81.2M (claim 12974).
A. None are named, and for a self-mining business that is normal: MARA sells no product to named buyers. Its revenue comes from bitcoin block rewards and fees earned on the network. The named counterparties in the record are partners and lenders, not customers. They include Applied Digital as a hosting provider (claim 13055), FS Innovation in the Abu Dhabi joint venture (claims 12974, 13056), and Silvergate Bank as a former lender (claims 13835, 13836).
A. The financing items are documented as completed transactions. These include $730.3M of convertible senior notes (claim 13816), $161.0M raised by selling stock 'at the market' (claim 13818), $35M borrowed on a revolving credit line (claim 13817), and the termination of the Silvergate Bank loan facilities in March 2023 (claims 13180, 13194). In the termination, Silvergate waived the 90-day notice period and a 0.5% prepayment charge (claims 13181, 13182). The operating targets are a different story. The 23 EH/s goal, the Ellendale 57,000-rig deployment, the McCamey, Garden City and Jamestown expansions, and the Abu Dhabi joint venture are all marked 'delayed' by automated status tracking (e.g. claims 12955, 12959, 12980, 12981, 13097, 13056). No claim on record confirms any of these was achieved on schedule. 'Delayed' here means the deadline passed without a confirming disclosure in this dataset. It does not prove the work never happened.
A. Yes. In February 2023 the company disclosed an SEC comment letter on accounting matters (claim 13318) and a restatement of its financial statements (claim 13320). The 2022 annual report (10-K), expected by March 16, 2023, is marked delayed (claim 13319). On governance, the company made RSU settlement payments to former CEO Merrick Okamoto and to other individuals, including a director and the current CEO (claims 13531, 13532, 12986, 12987). The sizes in the record conflict because of unit errors in extraction. One claim lists $24 (claim 13531) and another $24,000 thousand, or $24M (claim 12986); the $24M figure is the plausible reading. Current leadership named in the record is Fred Thiel as CEO and Chairman and Hugh Gallagher as CFO (claims 13666, 13665).
A. Executives received time-vesting restricted stock units. CEO Fred Thiel received 500,000 units (claims 13705, 13667). COO James Crawford and CFO Hugh Gallagher each received 150,000 (claims 13706, 13707, 13668, 13669), and CAO Simeon Salzman received 25,000 (claims 13708, 13670), with vesting running as late as April 2026. The Silvergate facilities had required a minimum adjusted net worth of $350M (claim 13839) and minimum liquidity of $25M (claim 13840). Those covenants ended when the facilities were terminated in March 2023 (claim 13180).
A. First, whether later filings confirm the hashrate actually reached, compared with the 23 EH/s target (claim 12955), and how close the fleet came to 200,000 energized rigs (claim 12956). Second, whether the Abu Dhabi joint venture became operational, and what MARA ultimately contributed to it (claims 12974, 13056). Third, how the $730.3M of convertible notes (claim 13816) is repaid, refinanced or converted into shares. Stock issuance to fund growth (claim 13818) dilutes existing shareholders. Fourth, whether the SEC comment letter and restatement (claims 13318, 13320) were fully resolved. Finally, what happened to the Jamestown, ND immersion hosting contract, which was due to expire August 2026 and is now marked delayed (claim 13099).
A. The claim record visible here mostly stops in March 2023, and the list supplied for this FAQ was cut off. As a result, it says little about MARA's performance or strategy since then and should be treated as dated. Many claims are duplicates of the same statement pulled from different filings (e.g. the 23 EH/s target appears as claims 12955, 12971, 12979 and 13057). Several figures show likely extraction errors. The Okamoto settlement appears as both $24 and $24M (claims 13531, 12986). The Abu Dhabi joint venture shows $406M (claim 13056) against an $81.2M contribution (claim 12974), which may be total venture size versus MARA's share. The 'delayed' labels come from an automated pass run on 2026-09-14. They have not been manually checked against later filings.
Frequently asked
2026-09-14A. Marathon Digital is a bitcoin mining company. The claims on record describe mining rigs deployed at sites in Texas (McCamey, Garden City), North Dakota (Jamestown, Ellendale) and Nebraska (Kearney), often at facilities run by third-party hosting providers. They also describe a planned mining joint venture in Abu Dhabi. The record uses mining-rig units and megawatts as its main measures of scale.
A. In the March 2023 disclosures, the strategy was to grow the mining fleet quickly and expand abroad. Stated goals included energizing a full fleet of about 200,000 units (claim 12956) and bringing roughly 57,000 units online at Ellendale, ND (claims 12967, 12982). Smaller expansions were planned at McCamey, TX (4,000 units, claim 13089), Jamestown, ND (10,400 air-cooled units and 768 immersion-cooled units, claims 12961, 12962), Kearney, NE (1,300 units, claim 12963) and Garden City, TX (19 MW, claim 13049). The company also planned a 250 MW mining facility in Abu Dhabi with FS Innovation (claims 12951, 12952). Note that the claims supplied here stop around March 2023, so this does not reflect any later change in strategy.
A. No customers are named, and none would be expected. A bitcoin miner earns revenue from the network's block rewards and transaction fees, not from contracts with named buyers. The counterparties that do appear in the record are hosting and financing partners. They include Compute North, a hosting provider that went bankrupt and against which Marathon holds a roughly $40 million unsecured claim (claim 12985). They also include Silvergate Bank, whose loan facilities were terminated (claim 13180), and FS Innovation, the Abu Dhabi joint venture partner (claim 12951).
A. No claim on record is marked as delivered or verified. Every dated capacity promise from March 2023 is now marked 'delayed.' That includes Ellendale energization by 2023-03-31 (claims 12960, 12982), the Jamestown air-cooled and immersion deployments (claims 12961, 12962, 13097, 13082), and the Abu Dhabi joint venture and facility launch by 2023-12-31 (claims 12977, 13076). These statuses were set automatically on 2026-09-14 because the deadlines passed with no confirmation on file. 'Delayed' here means 'not yet verified,' not proven to have failed. Some projects may have been completed without a matching record in this dossier.
A. Yes. In February 2023 the company disclosed an SEC comment letter on accounting matters (claim 13318) and a restatement of its financial statements (claim 13320). It also said its 2022 Form 10-K, originally expected by 2023-03-16, would be late (claim 13319). In March 2023 it ended its Silvergate Bank loan facilities. Silvergate waived the 0.50% prepayment charge and the 90-day notice period (claims 13180, 13181, 13182). The company also had exposure to Compute North's bankruptcy (claim 12985).
A. Fred Thiel is CEO and Chairman (claim 13666), and Hugh Gallagher is CFO (claim 13665). The disclosed RSU grants are 500,000 units for Thiel (claim 13705), 150,000 each for COO James Crawford and CFO Gallagher (claims 13706, 13707), and 25,000 for CAO Simeon Salzman (claim 13708). These vest on schedules running to 2024 or 2026 (claims 13667–13670). A 2022 disclosure also covers settlement payments to former CEO Merrick D. Okamoto and to five other people, including a director and the current CEO (claims 13531, 13532). The dollar amounts extracted for those settlements ('24.0 USD' and '1.0 USD') are almost certainly unit errors and should be checked against the source filing.
A. First, whether filings confirm the delayed site energizations, especially Ellendale's ~57,000 units and the Jamestown expansions, and the actual installed fleet compared with the 200,000-unit target. Second, whether the Abu Dhabi joint venture was formed and whether its 250 MW facility started running. Third, how much the company recovers on its Compute North claim. Fourth, whether the restated financials and the SEC comment letter led to any further regulatory action. Fifth, whether the executive RSUs vest as scheduled through 2026.
A. 1) The claims supplied end in mid-March 2023 (the list is cut off), so nothing after that date is covered. 2) Nothing is verified as delivered. 3) Some figures conflict. For example, the Abu Dhabi capital commitment appears as $81.2 million (claim 12977) and separately as $406,000 in contributions (claim 12953). The settlement amounts also look like extraction errors. 4) Some entries have impossible or duplicated dates. Examples are a CEO RSU 'promised by' date earlier than the grant (claim 13705) and a CFO appointment marked delayed against a 2022 deadline even though he is already CFO (claim 13061). 5) Many capacity claims are near-duplicates of one another (e.g., the 768-unit Jamestown immersion deployment appears in claims 12962, 12969, 12984 and 13082), so they should not be added together.
Frequently asked
2026-09-14A. Based on the claims on record, Marathon is a bitcoin mining company. It deploys large fleets of mining rigs at hosted and owned sites in North Dakota and Texas and at a joint-venture facility in Abu Dhabi. It measures growth in hashrate (EH/s, or exahashes per second) and in the number of rigs energized. Leadership on record is Fred Thiel as CEO and Chairman (claim 13666) and Hugh Gallagher as CFO (claim 13665). Note that the claims visible in this dossier end in March 2023, so later developments are not reflected here.
A. As of March 2023, the strategy was rapid capacity expansion. The headline target was 23 EH/s of operational hashrate by Q3 2023, repeated across many filings (e.g., claims 12955, 13088). The company also aimed to energize a full fleet of about 200,000 rigs (claim 12956). Site-level plans included about 57,000 rigs at Ellendale, ND (claim 12959), 10,400 air-cooled rigs at Jamestown, ND (claim 12983), 4,000 more rigs at McCamey, TX (claim 12980), and a 19 MW immersion-cooling expansion at Garden City, TX (claim 12981). Internationally, it planned a 250 MW Abu Dhabi mining JV (claim 13086) with an $81.2M capital contribution (claim 12974). It also planned to exit the Coshocton, OH facility (claim 13101).
A. None are named in the record. As a self-mining bitcoin company, its revenue comes from block rewards and transaction fees rather than contracted customers. The counterparties that do appear are financial and operational, not customers. They include Silvergate Bank, whose loan facilities were terminated (claim 13180), and the Abu Dhabi JV. The hosting providers for the North Dakota and Texas sites are not named in the visible claims.
A. The record confirms several completed events: the Silvergate loan facilities were terminated with a 0.5% prepayment charge waived (claims 13180, 13195), the CFO and Chief Accounting Officer appointments (claims 12964, 12976), and RSU settlement payments, including $24.0M to former CEO Merrick Okamoto (claim 12986). None of the major capacity targets has a delivery confirmation on record. The 23 EH/s hashrate goal, the Ellendale, Jamestown, McCamey and Garden City deployments, and the Coshocton exit are all marked 'delayed' by automated processing. That status means the promised-by date passed without recorded confirmation. It does not prove the targets were missed. The Abu Dhabi facility and the 200,000-rig energization have no dated delivery on record.
A. Yes. In February 2023 the company disclosed an SEC comment letter on accounting matters (claim 13318) and a restatement of previously issued financial statements (claim 13320). Its 2022 Form 10-K, expected by March 16, 2023, is marked delayed (claim 13319). Separately, regulatory approval for the Garden City, TX facility was listed as pending (claims 13091, 13060).
A. First, confirmation of whether the 23 EH/s target and the site deployments were actually achieved, and when. Second, the status of the Jamestown, ND immersion hosting contract, which had a stated expiration of August 1, 2026, a date that has now passed (claim 13099). Third, whether the Abu Dhabi 250 MW facility reached operation (claims 13086, 13087). Finally, any follow-on filings about the restatement and the SEC comment letter. The dossier also needs claims from after March 2023 before it can describe the company's current position.
A. 1) The record effectively stops in early 2023, so the current strategy, fleet size and financing are not covered. 2) Nearly every capacity promise is marked 'delayed' by automated status updates made on 2026-09-13/14, without human verification of actual outcomes. 3) Many claims are duplicates of the same guidance (for example, the 23 EH/s target appears at least seven times), which overstates how many distinct promises exist. 4) The settlement figures conflict. Claim 13531 lists the Okamoto payment as '24.0 USD' while claim 12986 gives $24.0M. Claim 13532 shows '1.0 USD' for five individuals while claim 12987 gives $2.1M for seven recipients. These look like unit-extraction errors that need correcting. 5) Claim 13062 lists a Chief Accounting Officer 'promised by' date that is earlier than the claim itself, another likely extraction artifact.
Frequently asked
2026-09-14A. Based on the claims on record, Marathon is a bitcoin miner. It runs large fleets of mining rigs, mostly at sites operated by third-party hosts. As of early 2023, disclosed sites included Ellendale and Jamestown, ND; Kearney, NE; Garden City and McCamey, TX; and Coshocton, OH. The company also planned a mining joint venture in Abu Dhabi. Its revenue comes from mining, not from selling products to customers.
A. This dossier cannot fully answer that. The claims provided run only from October 2022 to about March 2023, and the list appears cut off, so nothing here describes the strategy as of today. In early 2023 the stated plan had three parts. First, add machines at hosted US sites: 10,400 air-cooled and 768 immersion units at Jamestown (claims 12968, 12969), 1,300 units at Kearney (12970), 4,000 units at McCamey (12965) and 19 MW of immersion capacity at Garden City (12966). Second, energize Ellendale, ND (12967). Third, exit Coshocton, OH (13053) and expand abroad through a 250 MW Abu Dhabi facility (12973).
A. As a miner, Marathon has no named customers in the traditional sense. The record names counterparties instead. Applied Digital is a hosting partner (13055). FS Innovation is the Abu Dhabi joint-venture partner, with Marathon holding 20% (13084) and committing about $81.2M (13066) toward roughly $406M in total project contributions (13085). Compute North is a former host that went bankrupt, leaving Marathon with a $40M unsecured claim (12985). Silvergate Bank was a lender whose loan facilities were terminated in March 2023 (13180).
A. No claim in this record is marked as delivered or verified. Every capacity and timeline promise is either 'stated' (announced, with no follow-up recorded) or 'delayed.' A 'delayed' status was set automatically on 2026-09-14 when a promised date passed with no confirmation on file. That signals missing evidence, not proven failure. The delayed items include Ellendale energization by Q1 2023 (12982), Jamestown air-cooled units by Q1 2023 (13051), Jamestown immersion units by Q2 2023 (13052), the Coshocton exit by mid-2023 (13053), and Abu Dhabi operations starting by July 2023 (12978). Only some completed financing and settlement events are documented as done: the Silvergate facility termination, with the bank waiving its 90-day notice (13182) and 0.5% prepayment charge (13195), and the RSU settlement payments.
A. Yes. In February 2023 the company disclosed an SEC comment letter on accounting matters (13318) and a restatement of its financial statements (13320). Its 2022 Form 10-K, expected by March 16, 2023, is flagged as delayed (13319). Separately, the company disclosed RSU settlement payments: $24M to former CEO Merrick Okamoto (12986) and $2.1M to seven other recipients, including a director and the current CEO (12987).
A. Treat them with caution. These claims come from automated extraction, and several are duplicated or have inconsistent units. The Okamoto payment appears as both '24.0 USD' (13531) and '$24,000 thousand' (12986). The Abu Dhabi contributions appear as 406,000 USD (12953), 406,000 USD-thousands (13056) and $406M (13085). The version that fits the rest of the record is $406M total, with Marathon's 20% share equal to $81.2M. One claim also lists a joint-venture date of 2023-01-27 (13063), which is earlier than the filing it comes from. Check figures against the original SEC filings before quoting them.
A. There are four things to watch. First, whether later filings confirm that Ellendale, Jamestown, Kearney and McCamey reached their promised machine counts. Second, whether the Abu Dhabi joint venture actually began operating at 250 MW. Third, how much of the $40M Compute North claim was recovered. Fourth, how long the McCamey, TX hosting contract runs; it is recorded as expiring 2027-08-01 (13090), so renewal or relocation is a near-term question.
A. 1) The record has nothing after about March 2023, so the company's current fleet, strategy and finances are not captured here. 2) None of the 2023 capacity promises has a recorded delivery, so how much was actually built is unknown. 3) It is unclear whether the restatement and SEC comment letter (13318, 13320) were fully resolved. 4) The company depends heavily on third-party hosts, and one of them, Compute North, went bankrupt (12985).
Frequently asked
2026-09-13A. Based on this record, Marathon is a bitcoin miner. It deploys large fleets of mining machines, mostly at sites run by third parties, and measures its growth in hashrate (computing power). In March 2023 it disclosed a target of 23 exahashes per second by Q3 2023 (claims 12971, 12955, 13057, 12979) and a goal of energizing a full fleet of about 200,000 units (claim 12956).
A. The March 2023 disclosures describe fast fleet expansion across many sites. In North Dakota this meant about 57,000 units at Ellendale (claims 12967, 13050) and 10,400 air-cooled plus 768 immersion-cooled units at Jamestown (claims 12983, 12984). In Texas it meant 4,000 more rigs at McCamey (claim 12957) and a 19 MW immersion expansion at Garden City (claim 12958). It also planned 1,300 more units at Kearney, NE (claim 12963) and an exit from Coshocton, OH by mid-2023 (claim 13053). Internationally, it formed a 250 MW Abu Dhabi mining joint venture with FS Innovation (claim 12952). Marathon holds 20% of that venture (claim 13063) and committed $81.2M in capital (claim 12974).
A. No customers are named in the record. As a self-mining bitcoin company, its revenue comes from mining rewards, not from contracts with named buyers. The counterparties that are named are partners, lenders or creditors: Applied Digital as a hosting partner (claim 13055), FS Innovation in the Abu Dhabi joint venture, Silvergate Bank as a former lender, and Compute North, a bankrupt hosting provider.
A. Nothing on record has been independently verified as delivered. Every claim is still at status 'stated', meaning it was taken from company disclosures and has not been checked against later evidence. The items that read as completed events are also company-reported: Silvergate terminated its loan facilities (claim 13180) and waived a 0.50% prepayment charge and a 90-day notice period (claims 13181, 13182); Marathon filed a $40M unsecured claim in Compute North's bankruptcy (claim 12985); it paid $24M to settle RSUs for Merrick Okamoto (claim 12986) and $2.1M to seven other recipients (claim 12987); and it appointed Hugh Gallagher as CFO and John Lee as CAO (claims 13061, 13062). The forward-looking items remain promises: the 23 EH/s target, the site deployments and the Abu Dhabi facility.
A. First, whether the 23 EH/s by Q3 2023 target was met (claim 12971). Second, whether the Ellendale, Jamestown, McCamey, Garden City and Kearney deployments were energized on schedule. Third, whether the Abu Dhabi facility actually started mining. Fourth, the Jamestown, ND immersion contract, which had an expiration date of 2026-08-01 (claim 13099). That date has now passed, and the record does not say whether the contract was renewed, replaced or ended.
A. Yes. The Abu Dhabi facility's start date appears as 2023-07-01 (claim 13065) and also as 2023-12-31 (claim 13058). The Abu Dhabi project's total capital appears as '406,000 USD' (claim 12953) and as '406,000 USD thousands', about $406M (claim 13056). That is a thousand-fold gap, most likely a unit error in extraction. The Ellendale energization deadline is listed as 2023-03-31 (claim 12982) and 2023-06-30 (claim 13050). Check these against the original filings before citing them.
A. The claims were pulled automatically from the same March 2023 filings, so one disclosure often produced several near-identical records. For example, the 23 EH/s target appears in claims 12955, 12971, 12979 and 13057, and the Silvergate termination appears in claims 13180 and 13194. Treat these as one fact each, not as repeated confirmations.
A. The main one is age: the record is almost entirely disclosures from March 2023, with no later evidence of what happened. So it cannot show whether the hashrate target, the site buildouts or the Abu Dhabi joint venture were delivered. Other open questions are how much of the $40M Compute North claim (claim 12985) was ever recovered, how the large $24M RSU settlement (claim 12986) was justified, what the true Abu Dhabi capital figure is, and what happened to the Jamestown contract after August 2026. The claim list supplied for this FAQ also appears to be cut off, so some records may not be reflected here.
Frequently asked
2026-09-13A. Marathon Digital is a bitcoin mining company. The claims reviewed here come from its 2023 filings. They say little about the mining business itself. They focus on executive hiring and pay, a strategic investment in the chip designer Auradine, a bitcoin mining joint venture in Abu Dhabi (claim 12646), and a preferred stock financing. Note that the record supplied for this FAQ was cut off partway through, so later claims may exist that are not reflected here.
A. Three moves stand out in the record. First, Marathon invested in Auradine, Inc., reported as $30,000,000 (claim 12686), plus a separately extracted $30,000,000 'incremental investment' (claim 12691). In return it got board and executive representation, including CEO Fred Thiel taking an Auradine board seat (claims 12687, 12692). Second, it announced a bitcoin mining joint venture in Abu Dhabi (claim 12646), with no dollar figures in the record. Third, it raised $14,250,000 through a Series A preferred stock private placement (claims 12532, 12486), with a $14.52 conversion price (claim 12487) and $1,050 per-share redemption rights (claim 12488).
A. No customers are named anywhere in the claims on record. That is typical for a bitcoin miner, which mainly earns bitcoin from the network rather than selling to named buyers. Readers should not take the absence of named customers as a red flag in itself. It does mean the record offers no third-party revenue relationships to verify.
A. Nothing in the record has moved beyond 'stated'. Every claim went from automated extraction to 'stated' on 2026-09-13, and none is marked verified or fulfilled. The items that look most like completed events are dated filings: Salman Khan's appointment as CFO effective 2023-06-14 (claims 12456, 12480), Marcum LLP's appointment as auditor for fiscal 2023 (claim 12430), and the Series A placement dated 2023-06-08 (claim 12532). None of these has been independently confirmed. The Abu Dhabi joint venture and the Auradine relationship have no recorded outcomes.
A. Fred Thiel is CEO. His 2022 salary is recorded at $750,000 (claim 12693), with a $50,000 base salary increase (claim 12664) and a 500,000-unit RSU grant (claims 12663, 12426). Salman Khan became CFO in June 2023. His package includes a $475,000 base salary (claim 12457), a $125,000 signing bonus (claim 12458), 297,247 RSUs (claim 12459), a bonus target of 100% of salary (claim 12484), and long-term incentive eligibility of 300% (claim 12485). The record also lists James Crawford as COO at $300,000 (claim 12682), John Lee as CAO at $300,000 (claim 12695), Ashu Swami as CTO at $275,000 (claim 12696), and Adam Swick as Chief Growth Officer.
A. Several dated milestones fall due in the record. COO Crawford's RSU schedule runs to 2026-04-01 (claim 12520), which has already passed and should be checked against filings. Swick's award runs to 2027-03-01 (claim 12522), Thiel's grant to 2027-05-02 (claim 12663), and CFO Khan's to 2027-07-01 (claim 12483). Also worth watching: whether any disclosure puts figures or results on the Abu Dhabi joint venture (claim 12646), what the Auradine stake has returned, and whether any of the Series A preferred shares are converted or redeemed (claims 12487, 12488).
A. First, the record lists two CFOs. Hugh Gallagher appears as CFO at $475,000 (claims 12683, 12694), and Salman Khan was appointed in June 2023 on the same salary (claim 12457). No departure for Gallagher is recorded. Second, it is unclear whether Auradine received one $30,000,000 investment or two (claims 12686, 12691). Third, Adam Swick's RSU award appears as both 166,817 units (claim 12522) and 212,817 units (claim 12429). Fourth, vesting end dates conflict: the CFO grant shows both 2024-07-01 (claim 12459) and 2027-07-01 (claim 12483), and Thiel's shows 2024-04-26 (claim 12524) and 2027-05-02 (claim 12663). These may be first tranches versus full schedules. Finally, many claims are near-duplicates from overlapping filings, and all still need verification.
Frequently asked
2026-09-13A. Based on this dossier, Marathon Digital is in bitcoin mining. The only operational claim on record is a bitcoin mining joint venture in Abu Dhabi, announced 2023-05-09 (claim 12646). Nearly everything else on record covers executive pay, a preferred stock financing, and governance, not operations. The dossier alone does not show hashrate, fleet size, or production figures.
A. The record doesn't state a strategy directly. From the claims on file, the visible themes are international expansion through the Abu Dhabi mining joint venture (claim 12646), rebuilding the executive team around a new CFO, and funding through equity. That equity includes a $14.25M Series A preferred stock private placement (claims 12486, 12532) and a shareholder-approved increase in shares available under the 2018 Employee Incentive Plan (claim 6539). The latest claim shown is dated 2023-11-12, so this dossier does not cover more recent strategy.
A. None are named. No claim on record identifies a customer, offtaker, hosting client, or commercial counterparty. The Abu Dhabi joint venture (claim 12646) is the only partnership on file, and the dossier does not name the partner.
A. Nothing on record has been independently confirmed as delivered. Every claim has status 'stated', which means it was extracted from company disclosures and has not been checked against later evidence. Some items are routine and probably happened on schedule, such as Salman Khan starting as CFO on 2023-06-14 (claim 12456) and Marcum LLP's appointment as auditor for fiscal 2023 (claim 12430). They are still not verified here. The Abu Dhabi joint venture (claim 12646) is the claim that most needs proof of delivery, and no follow-up claim reports it operating.
A. CFO Salman Khan's package was a $475,000 base salary (claim 12457), a $125,000 signing bonus (claim 12458), an annual bonus target of up to 100% of salary (claim 12484), long-term incentive eligibility of 300% (claim 12485), and 297,247 RSUs (claim 12424). The first tranche of 74,312 RSUs vests 2024-07-01 (claim 12433), with full vesting through 2027-07-01. Other RSU schedules on file are CEO Fred Thiel at 500,000 (claim 12426), COO James Crawford at 150,000 (claim 12425), Chief Accounting Officer John Lee at 120,000 (claim 12427), and CTO Ashu Swami at 80,000 (claim 12428). Many of the CFO claims appear several times because the same terms were extracted from multiple filings.
A. The company disclosed a $14.25M Series A preferred private placement dated 2023-06-08 (claims 12486, 12532). The shares carry a $14.52 conversion price (claim 12487) and redemption rights at $1,050 per share (claim 12488), and were issued under a filed Certificate of Designation (claim 12533). The buyer is not named on record. Anyone assessing dilution should also note the incentive plan share increase (claim 6539).
A. 1. Evidence that the Abu Dhabi joint venture (claim 12646) was built, energized, and is producing bitcoin, plus the partner's identity and Marathon's economic share. 2. Whether the executive RSU tranches actually vested or were forfeited, including the CFO's 2024-07-01 tranche (claim 12433) and the COO's 2024-04-01 tranche (claim 12434). 3. Whether the Series A preferred was converted or redeemed (claims 12487, 12488). 4. Who the General Counsel appointed around 2023-11-12 is (claim 6540).
A. 1. **No operating data.** The record has almost no operating or financial performance data, so it can't show how the business is doing. 2. **No verification.** No claim has moved beyond 'stated'. 3. **Conflicting figures.** Chief Growth Officer Adam Swick's RSU award is recorded as both 166,817 units (claim 12522) and 212,817 units (claim 12429). Some CFO RSU dates mix the first vesting date (2024-07-01) with the final one (2027-07-01). 4. **Missing names.** The General Counsel, the Series A investor, and the Abu Dhabi partner are not named. 5. **Coverage ends in 2023.** The latest claim is dated 2023-11-12, so later developments are not reflected.
Frequently asked
2026-09-13A. Marathon Digital is publicly known as a bitcoin miner that runs data centers powered by large electricity contracts. The claims on record support that picture without describing operations directly. They cover a data-center acquisition (claim 6401), an ERCOT-linked expansion at a Granbury, Texas facility (claim 6403), an electricity hedging swap (claim 6208), and plans to buy bitcoin (claims 5401, 5426). The record contains no production, hashrate, or revenue figures, so it cannot tell you how large or efficient the operation is.
A. The latest claims in this excerpt date from November 2024. They show two things: owning more of its own data-center capacity, and raising large amounts of capital to buy bitcoin and refinance debt. MARA agreed to buy GC Data Center Equity Holdings for $178.65M (claim 6401). It raised $489.3M through an at-the-market stock offering in Q1 2024 (claim 6207) and secured a $200M line of credit (claim 5574). It then completed a $1B convertible notes offering (claim 5398), with net proceeds of about $980M (claim 5399). It said it would use the proceeds to buy more bitcoin (claim 5401) and to repurchase about $212M of existing notes due 2026 (claim 5400). A corporate name change was also disclosed in September 2024 (claim 5800), but the record does not state the new name.
A. None are named. No claim on record identifies a customer, offtaker, hosting client, or counterparty for the energy swap (claim 6208). For a self-mining business, bitcoin sold on the open market may be the main revenue source, but the record does not confirm that either. Treat 'who pays MARA, and on what terms' as unanswered by this dossier.
A. Four items are recorded as done. The GC Data Center acquisition closed on 2024-01-15 (claim 6379), and a later filing puts the price at $183.8M (claim 6206). The $1B convertible notes offering was completed (claim 5398). The Q1 2024 stock sales raised $489.3M (claim 6207). The $200M credit line was secured (claim 5574). Several items were announced with no follow-up claim showing completion. These include the bitcoin purchases (claims 5401, 5426), the repurchase of the 2026 notes (claims 5400, 5425), and the ERCOT-dependent earn-out payment of up to $15M (claims 6402, 6403). A 15M-share increase to the equity incentive plan is flagged as delayed (claim 5962).
A. The pay packages are large. CEO Fred Thiel received an FY2023 long-term incentive grant valued at $22.4M (claim 6294). He also had a separate 500,000-RSU grant (claim 12221), a $950,000 FY2024 base salary (claim 6300), and a $2.1375M bonus target (claim 6306). CFO Salman Khan's FY2023 long-term grant was $13.3M (claim 6295). Other executives received grants of roughly $3.3M to $5.2M (claims 6296–6299). The 'delayed' status on the FY2024 salary claims (claims 6300–6305) is probably a tracking artifact, not a missed payment. Those salaries had an effective date of 2024-01-01, a month before the filing that disclosed them.
A. Holders of the new convertible notes can demand repurchase on 2027-12-01 (claim 5405). The electricity hedge runs through 2027-12-31 (claim 6208). MARA's earliest date to redeem the notes is 2028-03-05 (claim 5404), and the notes mature on 2030-03-01 (claim 5403). Also watch for three disclosures that would turn announced items into delivered ones: how much bitcoin was actually bought with the note proceeds, whether the 2026 notes were retired, and whether ERCOT approval triggers the up-to-$15M Granbury earn-out (claims 6402, 6403).
A. Yes, several. The acquisition price appears as $178.65M at signing (claim 6401) and $183.8M in a later filing (claim 6206). The gap is likely closing adjustments, but the record does not say so. The notes offering was priced at $850M (claim 5422), plus a $150M option for initial purchasers (claim 5423), and closed at $1B (claim 5398). This suggests the option was exercised. The planned 2026-note repurchase moved from $199M (claim 5425) to $212M (claim 5400). The offering figures are stored as '850.0 USD' and '1000.0 USD' but clearly mean millions. The conversion figure 25.9133 is labeled 'USD per share' (claim 5402), but it reads like a conversion rate in shares per $1,000 of principal. Check the source filings before quoting these numbers.
A. First, the record has no operating data: no bitcoin mined, no hashrate, no energy cost, no revenue. You cannot judge whether the capital raised is productive. Second, it is unclear how much bitcoin was bought and at what price. Third, the record does not quantify total dilution and debt from the stock sales, convertible notes, credit line, and equity plan increases. Fourth, nothing shows why the ERCOT earn-out and the equity plan increase stalled. Finally, this dossier excerpt is cut off after claims dated November 2024, so later developments are not reflected here.
Frequently asked
2026-09-13A. Marathon Digital is a Bitcoin mining and acquisition company that operates data center facilities for mining and actively acquires Bitcoin as a strategic asset (claim 5426).
A. Marathon is funding massive Bitcoin acquisitions through convertible debt. Since November 2024, it has issued three convertible note offerings totaling approximately $2.55 billion in gross proceeds (claims 5398, 5348, 5307), with net proceeds deployed toward Bitcoin purchases (claims 5399, 5308). The company is also expanding data center capacity in Texas (claim 6403: ERCOT approval required for Granbury facility expansion).
A. None. Marathon operates as a Bitcoin miner and holder, not a service provider. The company does not identify enterprise customers or revenue sources in its disclosed claims.
A. Delivered: Three convertible note offerings completed in late 2024 (claims 5398, 5307), GC Data Center acquisition closed (claim 6379). Delayed: Executive base salaries for FY 2024 (claims 6300-6305, promised by 2024-01-01), share authorization increase of 15M shares (claim 5962, promised by 2024-06-27).
A. Convertible note holder repurchase right December 2027 (claim 5405), earliest company redemption March 2028 (claim 5404), maturity March 2030 (claim 5403). Energy hedging contract expires December 2027 (claim 6208). Data center expansion timing depends on regulatory approval (claim 6403).
A. Total Bitcoin acquired to date and progress deploying $2.55B in convertible note proceeds is not disclosed. Timeline and capital required for Texas data center expansions beyond the $15M earn-out (claim 6402) is unclear. How Marathon will manage refinancing of convertible notes maturing 2027-2030 without dilution remains undisclosed.
Frequently asked
2026-09-13A. Marathon Digital (ticker: MARA) is a bitcoin mining company that operates data centers for cryptocurrency mining. The company generates revenue by mining bitcoin and plans to build a strategic bitcoin reserve through acquisitions.
A. Marathon is pursuing a three-part expansion strategy: (1) acquiring and operating data center capacity through acquiring GC Data Center Equity Holdings for approximately $180M (claims 6401, 6206); (2) raising capital through convertible notes offerings, having completed approximately $1.7B in offerings during November-December 2024 (claims 5398, 5348); and (3) using proceeds to acquire additional bitcoin holdings and expand mining facilities, particularly in Granbury, Texas (claims 5401, 5426, 6402).
A. No named customers appear in Marathon's disclosed claims. As a bitcoin mining operator, the company does not serve traditional enterprise clients; it sells mined bitcoin into commodity markets.
A. Completed: the GC Data Center Equity Holdings acquisition (claim 6379) and convertible notes offerings totaling approximately $1.7B (claims 5398, 5348). Announced but pending: bitcoin acquisitions using offering proceeds (claims 5401, 5426), Granbury, Texas facility expansion with $15M in conditional earn-out payments tied to expansion completion and ERCOT regulatory approval (claims 6402, 6403), and electricity hedging through December 2027 (claim 6208).
A. How much bitcoin has Marathon actually acquired with the $1.7B+ raised in convertible notes? What is the status of Granbury facility expansion and required ERCOT regulatory approval (claim 6403)? How many convertible noteholders will exercise conversion rights at $25.91/share (claim 5402) versus hold to maturity in March 2030 (claim 5403)? What operational purpose drove the September 2024 corporate name change (claim 5800)?
A. Bitcoin acquisition announcements, Granbury facility expansion progress and ERCOT approval status (claim 6403), actual convertible note conversions at $25.91/share (claim 5402), payment of the $15M facility expansion earn-out contingent on completion and regulatory approval (claim 6402), and the holder repurchase rights window starting December 2027 (claim 5405) through note maturity on March 1, 2030 (claim 5403).
Frequently asked
2026-09-13A. Marathon Digital is a Bitcoin mining and data center operator. Recent disclosures show acquisition of GC Data Center Equity Holdings (claim 6206: $183.8M) and facility expansion in Granbury, Texas (claims 6403, 6402).
A. The company is pursuing growth through data center capacity expansion and bitcoin acquisition.

A. No customers are named in the disclosed claims. Disclosures focus on capital structure, facility expansion, and bitcoin acquisition strategy rather than customer relationships.
A. Completed: GC Data Center acquisition (claim 6379, January 2024); $1 billion convertible notes offering (claim 5398, November 2024). Announced but pending execution: bitcoin acquisitions using offering proceeds (claims 5401, 5350); Granbury facility expansion contingent on ERCOT regulatory approval (claim 6403).
A. Up to $15 million in expansion payments conditional on data center capacity additions and ERCOT approval (claim 6402); $200M line of credit (claim 5574); convertible notes maturing March 1, 2030 with earliest redemption March 5, 2028 (claims 5403, 5404).
A. Key uncertainties: (1) Actual bitcoin purchases from capital raised and their timing; (2) Status of ERCOT approval for Granbury facility expansion (claim 6403); (3) Whether announced bitcoin acquisition plans will be executed (claims 5401, 5350); (4) Personnel action (equity plan authorization) delayed past June 27, 2024 target (claim 5962).
A. Watch for bitcoin acquisition announcements and volumes; ERCOT decision timeline for Granbury expansion (claim 6403); repurchase activity on 2026 convertible notes; quarterly data center capacity and hash rate updates; and whether additional capital raises are needed to fund bitcoin purchases.
Frequently asked
2026-09-12A. Marathon Digital is a Bitcoin mining company that operates data centers with specialized computers to mine Bitcoin and earn mining rewards. The company holds Bitcoin as an asset on its balance sheet rather than providing services to external customers.
A. Marathon is raising capital through convertible debt offerings—$1 billion completed in November 2024 (claim 5398) and $700 million in December 2024 (claim 5348). The company states plans to use proceeds to acquire additional Bitcoin (claims 5401, 5350, 5346, 5311). Marathon is also expanding mining capacity by acquiring data centers, including a $183.8 million acquisition of GC Data Center that closed in January 2024 (claim 6206, 6379).
A. Marathon Digital has no named customers in its disclosures. It is a Bitcoin miner, not a service provider. All mining output is held for Marathon's own account.
A. The GC Data Center acquisition was announced in December 2023 and closed by January 2024 (claim 6379). Convertible offerings of $1 billion (November 2024, claim 5398) and $700 million (December 2024, claim 5348) were completed as announced. However, multiple executive compensation awards promised for early 2024 show 'delayed' status rather than completed (claims 6300–6305), and a 15 million share authorization increase was delayed past its June 2024 target (claim 5962). Bitcoin acquisitions announced as planned have not been documented as complete.
A. Track whether Marathon deploys approximately $1.7 billion from its convertible offerings to actually acquire Bitcoin (claims 5350, 5401), or uses it for operations and debt service. Monitor mining margins as electricity costs are hedged through December 2027 (claim 6208). Watch the convertible notes maturity in March 2030 (claim 5403) and earliest redemption in March 2028 (claim 5404). Assess the impact of board changes: two directors resigned in September 2024 (claims 5796, 5797) while two new directors were appointed (claims 5798, 5799).
A. Will Marathon actually deploy capital to acquire Bitcoin as stated, or redirect funds to operations and debt service? Why were multiple executive compensation awards from early 2024 marked as 'delayed'—were they eventually paid? What is Marathon's actual mining utilization and profitability post-expansion? How effective is the electricity hedging contract in protecting margins? And does the board turnover signal strategic disagreement over the Bitcoin acquisition plan?
Frequently asked
2026-09-12A. Marathon Digital is a Bitcoin mining company that owns data center facilities for mining operations and directly acquires Bitcoin. The company recently acquired GC Data Center Equity Holdings for $178.65M [claim 6401] and uses capital from debt offerings to purchase Bitcoin [claims 5398, 5346].
A. The company is growing through three parallel efforts: raising capital (completed $1.85B+ in convertible debt in late 2024 [claims 5398, 5348]), acquiring Bitcoin with those proceeds [claims 5401, 5346], and expanding mining capacity via data center acquisition. It has also locked in electricity prices through 2027 to manage operating costs [claim 6208].
A. No—Marathon operates as a Bitcoin acquirer and holder, not as a service provider. The company doesn't disclose third-party mining customers. It generates returns through Bitcoin price appreciation rather than mining service fees.
A. Delivered: The GC Data Center acquisition completed [claim 6379], $1.85B in convertible notes closed [claims 5398, 5348], and Bitcoin purchases began [claim 5346]. Still pending: Further Bitcoin acquisitions outlined in offering documents [claims 5401], data center expansion with potential $15M earn-out payments [claim 6402], and electricity cost management through 2027 [claim 6208].
A. Marathon carries substantial debt—convertible notes maturing March 2030 [claim 5403]—and is directly exposed to Bitcoin price swings. Operating costs depend on electricity prices despite hedging through 2027 [claim 6208]. The company is dependent on capital markets to fund planned Bitcoin acquisitions [claims 5401, 5346].
A. Crucial unknowns: actual Bitcoin holdings acquired and current total holdings versus announced acquisition targets [claims 5401, 5346], mining output and hashrate at the GC Data Center [claim 6401], profitability and operating margins, whether electricity hedging [claim 6208] protects margins adequately, and whether the $15M facility expansion earn-out [claim 6402] will be earned and completed.

Frequently asked
2026-09-11A. Marathon Digital is a bitcoin company expanding into data center operations. It acquires and holds bitcoin and operates data center infrastructure, as evidenced by its $178.65M acquisition of GC Data Center Equity Holdings (claim 6401, closed claim 6379 in January 2024). It also hedges electricity costs through commodity swap contracts (claim 6208).
A. The disclosed strategy centers on three elements: (1) acquiring additional bitcoin using proceeds from financing (claims 5401, 5426, 5350, 5346), (2) expanding data center capacity with potential earn-outs of $15M for capacity additions (claim 6402) and ERCOT regulatory approval at Granbury, TX (claim 6403), and (3) managing electricity costs critical to mining operations.
A. No. None of the disclosed claims name specific customers, end-users, or institutional partners for either the data center operations or bitcoin holdings.
A. At least $2.18 billion in disclosed financing from November–December 2024: $1 billion in convertible notes (claim 5398), $700M in additional convertible senior notes (claim 5348), and a $200M line of credit (claim 5574). Proceeds are earmarked for acquiring additional bitcoin and repurchasing existing convertible notes due 2026.
A. Completed: GC Data Center acquisition announced December 2023 (claim 6401) and closed January 2024 (claim 6379); convertible offerings announced and priced November–December 2024. Announced but not yet delivered: actual bitcoin acquisition volumes (claims 5401, 5426, 5350, 5346 state these as future plans), facility expansions and ERCOT approvals (claims 6402–6403), and energy hedging contract execution by end of 2027 (claim 6208).
A. Two earn-outs: $15M for data center capacity additions (claim 6402) and an ERCOT regulatory approval earn-out for Granbury, TX facility expansion (claim 6403). Both are conditional milestones, not upfront payments.
A. Convertible notes mature in March 2030 (claim 5403) with redemption starting March 2028 (claim 5404)—key risk is whether Marathon can service or refinance them. GC Data Center expansion milestones (claims 6402–6403) must be met to trigger earn-outs. Energy hedging contract is due by end of 2027 (claim 6208). Also watch actual bitcoin acquisition volumes versus repeatedly stated future plans.
A. How much bitcoin has been acquired versus planned (many claims state future acquisition intent but no completion dates). Operational performance and profitability of GC Data Center post-acquisition. Whether convertible note holders will convert to equity or force cash repayment. Regulatory risk around bitcoin holdings and classification. Effectiveness and cost of electricity hedging as energy prices fluctuate.

Frequently asked
2026-09-10A. Marathon Digital is a Bitcoin mining and cryptocurrency accumulation company. It operates data centers for Bitcoin mining and has announced plans to aggressively acquire additional Bitcoin through financing. In 2024, it acquired GC Data Center operations (claim 6401: $178.65M) to expand mining capacity, and raised approximately $2.55 billion through convertible notes offerings (claims 5398, 5348, 5307) with proceeds designated for Bitcoin acquisition (claims 5401, 5350).
A. Marathon Digital has no named external customers. Unlike most companies, it doesn't sell products or services to third parties. Instead, the company mines Bitcoin and accumulates it as a treasury asset. Its value proposition to shareholders is the Bitcoin it holds, not revenue from selling to others.
A. Marathon's disclosed strategy has three main elements: (1) accumulating Bitcoin through offerings and financing proceeds (claims 5401, 5350), (2) expanding mining operations through the GC Data Center acquisition and capacity earn-outs (claims 6401-6403), and (3) managing energy costs via electricity hedging contracts (claim 6208, extending through December 2027). The $2.55B in convertible notes raised in late 2024 was explicitly intended to fund Bitcoin purchases.
A. The disclosed filings do not specify how much Bitcoin has been acquired or current holdings. This is a critical gap: while Marathon announced plans to use $2.55B+ in convertible proceeds for Bitcoin acquisition, the actual purchases and holdings remain undisclosed. Investors cannot verify delivery against the stated strategy.
A. Marathon completed the GC Data Center acquisition (claim 6379), refreshed its board with new directors Barbara Humpton and Janet George while losing Said Ouissal and Kevin DeNuccio (claims 5799, 5798, 5796), changed its corporate name (claim 5800), secured a $200M credit facility (claim 5574), and raised approximately $2.55B in convertible notes (November: claim 5398 for $1B; December: claims 5348 for $700M and 5307 for $850M). All proceeds were targeted for Bitcoin acquisition.
A. Marathon has issued $2.55B+ in convertible debt convertible at $25.9133 per share (claim 5402) maturing in March 2030 (claim 5403). If the stock price falls below the conversion price, shareholders face significant dilution. The company's value depends entirely on Bitcoin prices and mining profitability. Regulatory approvals (e.g., ERCOT for Texas facility expansion, claim 6403) are critical to data center operations.
A. How much Bitcoin has actually been purchased with the $2.55B+ raised? What are Marathon's current Bitcoin holdings? The filings show multiple delayed commitments: executive base salaries promised for January 2024 (claims 6300-6305), a share authorization promised for June 2024 (claim 5962), and convertible offerings promised for November-December 2024 (claims 5422, 5342, 5309)—why the delays? How will convertible debt affect shareholder dilution if stock appreciates?

A. Completed: GC Data Center acquisition closed (claim 6379), $1 billion convertible notes issued (claim 5398), $200M credit line secured (claim 5574), $50M convertible note repurchases executed (claim 5349). Pending: Announced Bitcoin acquisitions (claims 5401, 5346, 5350) lack timing or amounts. Delayed: Executive base salary commitments (claims 6300-6305) promised 2024-01-01 and equity authorization increase (claim 5962) promised 2024-06-27.
A. Key dates: convertible notes maturity March 1, 2030 (claim 5403) with holder repurchase rights beginning December 1, 2027 (claim 5405). Also monitor: actual Bitcoin acquisition amounts and timing, quarterly mining output, Bitcoin price trends, and resolution of delayed executive compensation (claims 6300-6305, 5962). Marathon's use of leverage to buy Bitcoin creates significant risk if prices decline.
A. Critical unknowns: What is the timing and size of announced Bitcoin purchases (claims 5401, 5346, 5350)? Will delayed executive compensation be resolved and affect talent retention? How much debt can the company sustain if Bitcoin prices decline? What was the rationale for the September 2024 corporate name change and board restructuring (claims 5800, 5796-5799)?

Frequently asked
2026-09-05A. Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA) is a Bitcoin mining company. It operates data centers with specialized hardware to mine Bitcoin. The company acquired GC Data Center Equity Holdings in January 2024 to expand mining capacity (claim 6379), and hedges electricity costs through commodity swaps (claim 6208).
A. Marathon aims to accumulate Bitcoin by raising capital and using proceeds to acquire Bitcoin directly. In late 2024, it announced multiple convertible note offerings totaling over $2 billion (claims 5398, 5348, 5342, 5307) with explicit plans to use proceeds to buy Bitcoin (claims 5401, 5346, 5350). The company also operates an at-the-market (ATM) offering program (claim 6207) for additional capital.
A. Marathon does not have named customers in the traditional sense. As a Bitcoin mining operation, the company produces Bitcoin and sells it into the market rather than serving specific clients or enterprises.
A. The data center acquisition has closed (GC Data Center, claim 6379). However, most Bitcoin acquisition plans remain in 'stated' status—announced but not yet confirmed as executed in regulatory filings. Personnel compensation for FY 2024 shows 'delayed' status (claims 6300-6305), suggesting potential execution gaps on stated commitments.
A. The disclosed claims don't reveal how much Bitcoin the company has actually acquired with $980+ million in net proceeds from late-2024 capital raises (claim 5399). Current mining hash rate, profitability, and cash burn are not detailed. The cumulative debt and shareholder dilution impact of multiple simultaneous convertible offerings remains unclear.
A. Monitor upcoming 10-K and 10-Q filings for: (1) actual Bitcoin holdings, (2) achieved mining hash rate, (3) whether earn-outs for the Granbury facility expansion (claim 6403) and $15M capacity addition (claim 6402) are triggered, and (4) profitability metrics. The critical question is whether the company achieves cash-flow positive mining operations.

The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 substantial doubt about its 12-month cash runway, cited as claim #15462, in the same filing that announced the mining expansion and a 10,000,000-share equity plan. What has not been said is the cash balance, the monthly burn rate and the specific financing intended to close the gap. How dilutive is that financing expected to be relative to the share reserves just authorized?
The company disclosed on 2018-07-12 a commitment to appoint two new independent directors by 2019-01-07, cited as claim #15465. On 2018-08-21 it disclosed only Michael Berg's appointment and regained NASDAQ compliance, cited as claims #15435 and #15438. What has not been said is whether a second independent director was ever seated. Was Fred Thiel, named Compensation Committee Chairman in claim #15437, the counterpart, and did the board review his independence given his later executive role?
The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 that patent revenue generation had commenced, cited as claim #21014, under licensing agreements with Zhone and Siemens Technology, cited as claims #21022 and #21018. In the same filing it named IP Navigation Group as a key supplier, cited as claim #21024. What has not been said is the dollar consideration under each license and the revenue share or fee paid to IP Navigation Group. The employee count, cited as claim #21026, was also left unquantified. How much of that patent revenue actually stayed with the company?
What we aren't being told
2026-10-19Marathon disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim #15461), following the 2018-06-28 termination notice (claim #15477). The record does not say who received the shares, what they were valued at on issuance, how the fee was accounted for, or why the deal was terminated. What was the dollar cost of the break-up fee, and did any officer or director have a relationship with Global Bit Ventures or its holders?
The 2018-10-15 disclosures on Merrick Okamoto's appointment as CEO and Chairman (claims #15384, #15387) cite a 350,000 USD base salary (claim #15388). They also cite option grants that do not reconcile: 2,500,000 shares (claim #15385), 2,500,000 unvested shares with change-of-control acceleration (claim #15386) and 5,000,000 shares (claim #15389). The strike price, vesting schedule and performance conditions are absent, as is what share of the 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve (claim #15460) these grants consume. Is the total grant 2.5 million or 5 million options, and on what terms does it vest and accelerate?
The company stated a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13 (claim #15459). In the same filing it flagged substantial doubt about a 12-month cash runway (claim #15462). It has not named a mining site address, installed or targeted hashrate, megawatts of power capacity, a power or hosting counterparty, or the financing amount and timing needed to fund the expansion and cure the going-concern uncertainty. Where are the machines, how much power is contracted and at what rate, and how much capital is required over what period?
The 2014-03-30 annual disclosures list licensing agreements with Zhone and Siemens Technology (claims #21022, #21018). They also list a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim #21024) and a string of portfolio acquisitions from Siemens, Mosaid, Delphi, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, CyberFone and TT IP (claims #21031, #21029, #21023, #21020, #21019, #21017, #21021). The purchase prices, revenue-share or contingency-fee splits owed to the sellers and to IP Navigation Group, and the license revenue attributable to each counterparty are not given. What did each portfolio cost, and what percentage of recoveries is paid away before Marathon books revenue?
Marathon disclosed director resignations on 2018-06-28 (claim #15476) and a Nasdaq deficiency with compliance-plan and cure deadlines (claims #15465, #15466, #15467, #15468). It then reported regained compliance on 2018-08-21 (claim #15438) after appointing Michael Berg and Fred Thiel to chair the audit and compensation committees (claims #15435, #15437). Thiel received 50,000 options (claim #15396). The record does not name the resigning directors, give their reasons, or say whether any disagreement with management was cited. Separately, the 2013-04-04 entries on a 26-country, Africa-focused Mara group led by the Thakkar family (claims #20897-#20903) appear to describe a different entity, so the record's attribution should itself be verified before anyone relies on it.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-19The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto was appointed Executive Chairman and CEO with a $350,000 base salary and 5,000,000 stock options (claims #15387, #15388, #15389), yet the same date's record also shows 2.5 million options issued to the CEO (claim #15385). What has not been said is whether these are separate tranches, a vesting split or a correction, and what the strike price, vesting schedule and performance conditions are against a 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve (claim #15460). Taken together, these grants appear to consume up to three-quarters of that pool.
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claim #15461), following the 2018-06-28 termination and director resignations (claims #15476, #15477). What has not been said is which party owed the fee, its dollar value at issuance, whether the shares were actually delivered, and whether the resigning directors had any relationship with Global Bit Ventures.
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13 (claim #15459) alongside going-concern-style uncertainty about a 12-month cash runway (claim #15462). What has not been said is the hashrate or machine count being added, the hosting site and its power capacity and cost per kWh, and how that expansion would be financed given the runway warning.
The company disclosed on 2018-08-21 that it regained NASDAQ listing compliance after appointing Michael Berg as Audit Committee Chairman and Fred Thiel as Compensation Committee Chairman (claims #15435, #15437, #15438). The 2018-07-12 notices had set separate deadlines for two independent directors and for compensation committee compliance (claims #15465, #15468). What has not been said is whether both deadlines were fully satisfied. The record also does not say what compensation or prior relationships these directors had with management, given that the Compensation Committee chair set the CEO package approved two months later.
The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 licensing agreements with Zhone and Siemens Technology, a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group, and the commencement of patent revenue (claims #21018, #21022, #21024, #21014). What has not been said is the license fees or revenue concentration by licensee, and the contingency-fee share or other economics paid to IP Navigation Group. The employee-count claim (#21026) also carries no actual number.
The record attributes to this company 2013-2014 claims about operations in 26 countries, an African presence in 19 countries, the Mara Foundation, and executives Ashish Thakkar, Jagdish Thakkar and Prashant Manek (claims #20897 through #20903, #20895, #20896). Those claims sit alongside a 2013-02-04 rename to Marathon Patent Group (claim #21045). What has not been established is whether these claims describe Marathon at all or the unrelated Mara Group, and this should be resolved before any of them is used as a disclosure baseline.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-17The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares, cited as claims #15461 and #15477; what has not been said is which party bore the fee, the per-share value and accounting treatment of those shares, and what specifically caused the deal to collapse two months after directors resigned (claim #15476). Did the termination leave Marathon owning any GBV mining equipment or obligations?
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto received 5,000,000 stock options alongside a $350,000 base salary, cited as claims #15389 and #15388, two months after reserving 10,000,000 shares under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (claim #15460); what has not been said is the strike price, vesting schedule, and any performance conditions on a single grant equal to half the plan pool. The interim chief executive named in claim #16644 also goes unidentified, so what was the leadership and compensation arrangement between April and October 2018?
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 a cryptocurrency mining expansion, cited as claim #15459, in the same filing that flagged substantial doubt about a 12-month cash runway (claim #15462); what has not been said is the hosting site or physical location, megawatts of power secured, the power or hosting counterparty, machine count or hashrate targets, and how the expansion would be funded given the going-concern language.
The company disclosed on 2018-07-12 a NASDAQ requirement to add two independent directors by 2019-01-07 and to cure compensation committee composition by 2019-06-28, cited as claims #15465, #15467 and #15468, then reported regained compliance on 2018-08-21 with Michael Berg and Fred Thiel seated as committee chairs (claims #15438, #15435, #15437); what has not been said is whether the separate compensation committee deficiency was fully cured, and whether either new director had any prior financial or advisory relationship with management that would bear on independence.
The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 that IP Navigation Group was a key supplier and that patent revenue had commenced, cited as claims #21024 and #21014, alongside licensing agreements with Siemens and Zhone (claims #21018, #21022); what has not been said is the revenue share or contingency fee payable to IP Navigation, the identities of the licensees actually generating revenue, and how much of that revenue concentrated in any single settlement. The same filing references an employee count (claim #21026) without the number itself.
The company disclosed a 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 under interim leadership, cited as claim #16645; what has not been said is whether the report was filed on time, whether an NT 10-K was used, and whether the auditor raised any material weakness tied to the leadership transition. Separately, claims #20896 through #20903 describe Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate, and appear to be misattributed to this ticker rather than reflecting any Marathon disclosure.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-17The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that its terminated Global Bit Ventures merger carried a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares, cited as claim #15461, following the 2018-06-28 termination notice in claim #15477; what has not been said is who received those shares, what they were worth at issuance, how the fee was recorded, and what caused the deal to collapse. Was the termination initiated by Marathon or by Global Bit Ventures, and was the share fee negotiated in exchange for any assets, mining equipment or hosting rights that stayed with the company?
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto received 5,000,000 stock options alongside a $350,000 base salary, cited as claims #15389 and #15388, two months after reserving 10,000,000 shares under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, cited as claim #15460; what has not been said is the strike price, vesting schedule, or any performance conditions on a grant equal to half the plan reserve, nor whether Okamoto had any prior financing, trading or advisory relationship with the company before his appointment. How much of the plan reserve remained after the October 2018 grants to Okamoto, Lieberman, Crawford, Rudolph and Thiel, cited as claims #15389 and #15392 through #15396?
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 a cryptocurrency mining expansion, cited as claim #15459, in the same filing that flagged uncertainty over a 12-month cash runway, cited as claim #15462; what has not been said is the machine count, hashrate, power draw in megawatts, physical site location, or the hosting or power counterparty behind that expansion. How was an expansion to be funded when the company could not assure 12 months of liquidity, and what cash balance and monthly burn rate underlay that warning?
The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that directors had resigned, cited as claim #15476, and on 2018-07-12 laid out Nasdaq deadlines to appoint two independent directors and restore audit and compensation committee compliance, cited as claims #15465 through #15468; what has not been said is which directors left, whether any resignation stemmed from a disagreement with management, and whether the departures were tied to the Global Bit Ventures termination. Did the 2018-08-21 appointments of Michael Berg and Fred Thiel, cited as claims #15435, #15437 and #15438, come from candidates with any prior ties to management or to the terminated merger counterparty?
The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 that IP Navigation Group was a key supplier, cited as claim #21024, alongside licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone, cited as claims #21018 and #21022, and the commencement of patent revenue, cited as claim #21014; what has not been said is the fee split or contingency percentage owed to IP Navigation Group on recoveries, the dollar value of the Siemens and Zhone licenses, or which unnamed licensees generated the initial revenue. What share of 2013 patent revenue came from a single licensee, and what were the upfront and contingent payment obligations on the roughly ten portfolios acquired, cited as claims #21015 through #21035?
The company disclosed on 2018-04-01 an Interim Chief Executive Officer and a 10-K due by 2018-04-15, cited as claims #16644 and #16645; what has not been said is who held the interim role, the compensation attached to it, and whether the 10-K was filed on time or under an extension. Why was an interim chief executive in place during the pivot to cryptocurrency mining, and when was the permanent appointment made?
What we aren't being told
2026-10-17The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a break-up fee paid in 3,000,000 shares, cited as claim #15461 (with the termination itself first noted on 2018-06-28, claim #15477). What has not been said is why the deal collapsed, who the recipients of those shares are, what value and per-share price were recorded for the fee, and whether any Global Bit Ventures principals had prior relationships with Marathon insiders.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 a grant of 5,000,000 stock options to Merrick Okamoto alongside a $350,000 base salary, cited as claims #15389 and #15388, only two months after reserving 10,000,000 shares under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, cited as claim #15460. What has not been said is the strike price, vesting schedule, and any performance conditions on a grant equal to half the entire plan reserve, or how the board, whose compensation committee was being reconstituted under claims #15437 and #15468, justified that concentration in a single executive.
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 a cryptocurrency mining expansion, cited as claim #15459, in the same filing that flagged substantial doubt about a 12-month cash runway, cited as claim #15462.

The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 that patent revenue generation had commenced, that IP Navigation Group was a key supplier, and that it was actively pursuing enforcement litigation, cited as claims #21014, #21024 and #21025, across more than a dozen acquired portfolios such as those from Siemens, Intergraph, Delphi and CyberFone (claims #21031, #21020, #21023, #21017). What has not been said is the dollar amount of licensing revenue, the share of proceeds paid to IP Navigation Group and to the original patent sellers, the number of active cases, and the purchase price paid for each portfolio. Separately, the 2013-04-04 and 2014 claims #20896 through #20903 describe Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate, and appear to be misattributed to this company.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-17The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim #15461, following the 2018-06-28 termination notice in claim #15477); what has not been said is which party paid that fee, what the shares were worth at issuance, and whether any GBV mining equipment or hosting arrangements that motivated the deal transferred to the company anyway. The same 2018-06-28 filing reports that directors resigned (claim #15476), but the record does not name them or give their reasons. Did any of them cite disagreement over the GBV transaction?
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto received 5,000,000 stock options alongside a $350,000 base salary (claims #15389 and #15388), against a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve of 10,000000 shares disclosed on 2018-08-13 (claim #15460). What has not been said is the strike price, the vesting schedule, and any performance conditions on a single grant that consumes half the plan.

The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 that patent revenue generation had commenced (claim #21014) and that it had licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims #21018 and #21022). That revenue was supported by a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim #21024) and ongoing enforcement litigation (claim #21025). What has not been said is which licensees produced the revenue, how much each contributed, and what share of recoveries IP Navigation Group takes under its contingency arrangement. The record also does not disclose any upfront payments or revenue-share obligations owed to the sellers of the acquired portfolios, including Sampo, Mosaid, CyberFone, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Delphi and TT IP (claims #21015 through #21023).
The company disclosed an Interim Chief Executive Officer on 2018-04-01 (claim #16644), with a 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim #16645), but the record names neither the interim officer nor whether the 10-K was filed on time. It then disclosed on 2018-07-12 a set of NASDAQ deficiencies that carried staggered deadlines: a compliance plan by 2018-08-24, two independent directors by 2019-01-07, and compensation committee compliance by 2019-06-28 (claims #15465 through #15468). It reported compliance regained on 2018-08-21 with the appointments of Michael Berg and Fred Thiel (claims #15438, #15435 and #15437).

The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15459, in the same period it flagged doubt about a 12-month cash runway, cited as claim #15462. What has not been said is the miner count, hash rate, site location, hosting counterparty, power cost per kWh, and how the expansion was to be financed given the going-concern language. A first-year analyst would ask how many of the 10,000,000 shares reserved under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (claim #15460) were already committed.
The company disclosed a string of patent portfolio acquisitions on 2014-03-30, cited as claims #15016–#21023, #21029, #21031 and #21035, which drew on Mosaid, Intergraph, Delphi, TeleCommunication Systems, Siemens, Zhone and CyberFone.

What has not been said, at least in this record, is who the interim CEO was, what they were paid, and whether the 10-K was filed on time or under an NT 10-K extension. A related open item is whether the compensation committee compliance deadline of 2019-06-28 (claim #15468) was met once Fred Thiel and Michael Berg were appointed (claims #15437, #15435, #15438).
The record attributes to this company the claims of operations in 26 countries, a Mara Foundation in four African countries, and a leadership slate of Jagdish Thakkar, Ashish J. Thakkar, Prashant Manek and Marwan Abedin, cited as claims #20897–#20903, along with UN Women and EY partnerships (claims #20896, #20895). None of this matches Marathon Patent Group's own filings, and it appears to describe the unrelated Mara Group. What has not been established is whether any of these claims belong to MARA at all, and they should be verified before publication.

Were the resignations connected to the termination?
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15459. What has not been said is the operating hashrate, the number and model of miners, the site location, and the power or hosting counterparty. What does the expansion amount to in terahashes per second, at which facility, and at what cost per kilowatt-hour?
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto, CEO and Chairman, received 2.5 million stock options with change-of-control acceleration, cited as claims #15384, #15385 and #15386.

What we aren't being told
2026-10-15The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares, cited as claim #15461, after first reporting the termination on 2018-06-28 (claim #15477) alongside unnamed director resignations (claim #15476). What has not been said is which side paid the fee, what the shares were worth on the termination date, how the issuance was accounted for, and which directors resigned and whether their departures were tied to the failed deal.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 option grants to Merrick Okamoto described as 2.5 million (claims #15385 and #15386) and as 5 million (claim #15389), against a 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve, cited as claim #15460. What has not been said is whether these are two 2.5 million tranches or one grant described inconsistently, what the strike price and vesting schedule are, and why roughly half of the entire plan reserve went to a single executive whose base salary was disclosed as $350,000 (claim #15388).
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15459. What has not been said is where the miners are physically sited, who hosts them or supplies power, what the installed hashrate, machine count, or megawatt capacity is, and on what timetable the expansion is meant to be complete.
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 substantial doubt about its 12-month cash runway, cited as claim #15462, in the same filing that announced the mining expansion (claim #15459). What has not been said is the monthly cash burn, the cash balance the runway is measured from, and what financing, whether equity, debt, or equipment leasing, is planned to fund both continued operations and the new mining capex.
The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims #21018 and #21022), a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim #21024), and roughly a dozen patent portfolio acquisitions (claims #21016 through #21035), along with an employee count whose figure is not recorded (claim #21026). What has not been said is the purchase price or revenue-share terms for each portfolio, the license fees received from Siemens and Zhone, the contingency percentage owed to IP Navigation Group, and the actual headcount behind the litigation program.
The company disclosed on 2018-04-01 an unnamed Interim Chief Executive Officer (claim #16644) and a 10-K filing deadline (claim #16645), then on 2018-07-12 NASDAQ deficiencies requiring two new independent directors and a compliance plan (claims #15465 through #15468), and announced regained compliance on 2018-08-21 (claim #15438). What has not been said is who served as interim CEO and on what terms, whether the 10-K was filed on time, and whether NASDAQ's compliance letter covered the compensation committee deficiency (claim #15468) or only the board-independence requirement. Separately, claims #20897 through #20903, covering the Mara Foundation, Ashish Thakkar, and the 26-country African footprint, appear to describe the unrelated Mara Group and should not be read as MARA disclosures.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-15The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares, cited as claim #15461, following the termination noted on 2018-06-28 in claim #15477, the same date several directors resigned (claim #15476). What has not been said is who paid the fee to whom, what the shares were worth on the date of issuance, why the deal collapsed, and whether the director departures were connected to the termination.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 a 5,000,000-share option grant to Merrick Okamoto alongside a $350,000 base salary, cited as claims #15389 and #15388, against a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve of 10,000,000 shares disclosed on 2018-08-13 in claim #15460. What has not been said is the strike price, the vesting schedule, and any performance conditions on a single grant that consumes half the plan. Also missing is any related-party context for Okamoto, such as prior shareholdings, loans to the company, or financing relationships, that would explain a grant of that size.
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15459, in the same period it flagged uncertainty about a 12-month cash runway (claim #15462). What has not been said is the scale of the expansion in machines or hashrate, the physical site and power arrangement including the location, the utility or host, and the cost per kWh, and how the expansion was to be funded given the going-concern language.
The company disclosed on 2018-07-12 a series of NASDAQ compliance deadlines and a commitment to add two independent directors, cited as claims #15465 through #15468, then announced on 2018-08-21 that compliance was regained with Michael Berg as audit chair and Fred Thiel as compensation committee chair (claims #15435, #15437, #15438). Separately, an interim CEO and a 10-K filing deadline were disclosed on 2018-04-01 (claims #16644 and #16645). What has not been said is the identity of the interim CEO and the reason for the filing pressure, how the new directors were sourced, and whether Thiel's 50,000-share option grant on 2018-10-15 (claim #15396) was set by the committee he chairs.

What has not been said is the purchase price or revenue-share owed to each seller, the economics of the IP Navigation relationship, and which licensees or defendants actually generated the revenue. Separately, the real estate disposition exploration flagged on 2013-02-04 (claim #21044) was never reported as resolved.
Claims #20895 through #20903, covering Mara Group, the Thakkar family, the Mara Foundation, the UN Women and EY partnerships, and the African country footprint, appear to describe a different, unrelated entity and were not used as a basis for any gap above.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-15The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares, cited as claims #15461 and #15477; what has not been said is which party bore the fee, what the shares were worth at issuance, and why a deal central to the cryptocurrency pivot was abandoned only weeks before the board turnover recorded in claim #15476.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto received stock options totaling 5,000,000 shares, including 2,500,000 unvested options that accelerate on a change of control, cited as claims #15385, #15386 and #15389; what has not been said is the strike price, the vesting schedule or performance hurdles for the unvested tranche, and why a single executive received half of the 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve disclosed in claim #15460.
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 a cryptocurrency mining expansion alongside substantial doubt about its 12-month cash runway, cited as claims #15459 and #15462; what has not been said is how the expansion would be funded, how many miners and how much hashrate were planned, and where they would be hosted, including the site, power capacity in megawatts, and power cost.
The company disclosed on 2018-07-12 a Nasdaq compliance plan and a commitment to add two independent directors by 2019-01-07, then on 2018-08-21 said compliance had been regained, with Fred Thiel named Compensation Committee Chairman and Michael Berg named Audit Committee Chairman, cited as claims #15465, #15466, #15438, #15437 and #15435; what has not been said is whether the separate compensation committee deadline of 2019-06-28 in claim #15468 was met, and whether the newly formed committee approved the Okamoto option grants of claim #15389 or merely ratified them.
The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 that it had begun generating patent revenue, held licensing agreements with Zhone and Siemens Technology, and relied on IP Navigation Group as a key supplier, cited as claims #21014, #21022, #21018 and #21024; what has not been said is the purchase price of each acquired portfolio, the revenue attributable to each licensee, and the fee or revenue split owed to IP Navigation Group on enforcement proceeds.

What we aren't being told
2026-10-15The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim #15461), after first reporting the termination on 2018-06-28 (claim #15477). What has not been said is which side issued those shares to whom, what they were worth on the termination date, why the deal collapsed, and whether any Global Bit Ventures principals had prior or ongoing relationships with Marathon insiders.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto received 5,000,000 stock options (claim #15389). In the same filing it described a 2,500,000-option grant to the CEO (claim #15385), against a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve of only 10,000,000 shares (claim #15460). What has not been said is how the two option figures reconcile, what the strike price and vesting schedule are, and whether a single executive received a quarter to half of the entire plan reserve in one grant.
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13 (claim #15459). On the same date it flagged substantial doubt about its 12-month cash runway (claim #15462). What has not been said is the hash rate, miner count, or megawatt capacity of the expansion, the physical location and power arrangement of the mining site, and how an expansion is to be funded when the company itself questions whether it can operate for a year.
The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that directors had resigned (claim #15476), which triggered NASDAQ board and compensation committee compliance deadlines (claims #15465, #15467, #15468). It then appointed Fred Thiel as Compensation Committee Chairman on 2018-08-21 (claim #15437), and Thiel received 50,000 options on 2018-10-15 (claim #15396). What has not been said is who resigned and why, and whether the chair of the committee approving the CEO's outsized grant (claim #15389) was granted options in the same action.
The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims #21018, #21022), alongside a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim #21024) and active patent enforcement litigation (claim #21025). What has not been said is the economics of these arrangements: what share of recoveries IP Navigation Group retains, what upfront or contingent consideration was paid for each acquired portfolio (claims #21017 to #21035), and how many employees the company actually had (claim #21026 records the topic but no figure).
The company disclosed on 2018-04-01 an Interim Chief Executive Officer (claim #16644) and a 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim #16645). What has not been said is who the interim CEO was, why the prior CEO departed, and whether that 10-K was filed on time or late. Separately, claims #20895 through #20903 (Ashish Thakkar, the Mara Foundation, and operations in 26 countries) appear to describe the unrelated African conglomerate Mara Group rather than Marathon, and should not be read as Marathon disclosures.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-14Merrick Okamoto's October 15, 2018 option grants are disclosed inconsistently (claims #15385, #15386 and #15389). One claim gives 2.5 million options issued, another 2.5 million unvested options with change-of-control acceleration, and another 5 million options in total. Alongside the $350,000 base salary (claim #15388), what has not been said is the strike price, the vesting schedule, any performance conditions, or a bonus target. Is the 5 million figure one grant split into vested and unvested tranches, or two separate awards?
The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserved 10,000,000 shares (claim #15460). Okamoto's grant alone appears to use half of that pool, and David Lieberman received another 200,000 options (claim #15392). What has not been said is how many shares were outstanding at the time, so readers cannot gauge dilution or how much of the pool was left for other employees.
The Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a break-up fee paid in shares, given as 3,000,000 shares (claims #15477 and #15461). Directors resigned on the same date (claim #15476). What has not been said is why the deal ended, who received the 3 million shares and what they were worth, which directors left and whether their departures were linked to the termination, and whether any GBV mining equipment or hosting arrangements carried over into the company's own business.
The company announced a cryptocurrency mining expansion on August 13, 2018 (claim #15459). In the same filing it flagged uncertainty about its 12-month cash runway (claim #15462). What has not been said is how many machines it operated or planned to add, the hashrate targeted, the physical site and power contract, the price per kWh, and how much financing the expansion required. Without those figures, the runway warning cannot be connected to the growth plan.
Nasdaq compliance deadlines were set on July 12, 2018: a compliance plan by August 24, 2018, two new independent directors by January 7, 2019, and the compensation committee by June 28, 2019 (claims #15466, #15465, #15467 and #15468). Compliance was then declared regained on August 21, 2018, when Michael Berg and Fred Thiel were appointed (claims #15435, #15437 and #15438). What has not been said is which deficiency notice started the process, whether a compliance plan was ever formally submitted, and whether the compensation committee met the independence and size requirements or only got a chair.
In the patent-monetization era, the company named IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (claim #21024) and disclosed licensing agreements with Siemens and Zhone (claims #21018 and #21022). It also listed portfolio purchases from Mosaid, CyberFone, Delphi, Intergraph and others (claims #21016, #21017, #21023 and #21020), and said patent revenue had started (claim #21014). What has not been said is the fee or revenue-share terms with IP Navigation, the consideration under each license, any contingent payments owed to the original patent sellers, or how revenue was split by portfolio.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-13The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated (claim #15477), and on 2018-08-13 that the termination carried a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim #15461); what has not been said is why the deal collapsed, which side paid the fee to whom, what the shares were valued at for accounting purposes, and whether any GBV mining equipment, hosting contracts or personnel transferred anyway.
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13 (claim #15459), alongside a going-concern style warning that cash may not last twelve months (claim #15462); what has not been said is where the mining fleet physically sits, how many machines and what hash rate are deployed, what power price and hosting or interconnection terms apply, and how the expansion will be financed given the stated runway doubt.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto received 5,000,000 stock options and a $350,000 base salary (claims #15389 and #15388), against a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve of 10,000,000 shares disclosed on 2018-08-13 (claim #15460); what has not been said is the strike price, vesting schedule and performance conditions on a grant consuming half the plan, and whether Okamoto or affiliated entities have any financing, consulting or trading relationship with the company. The interim CEO disclosed on 2018-04-01 (claim #16644) is also not named in the record.
The company disclosed licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone on 2014-03-30 (claims #21018 and #21022), the start of patent revenue (claim #21014), and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim #21024); what has not been said is the dollar value of each license, what share of recoveries is owed to IP Navigation Group or to the original patent sellers under contingent-payment terms, and how much revenue each acquired portfolio has actually produced against its purchase cost.
The company disclosed on 2018-07-12 a Nasdaq compliance plan requiring two new independent directors and a compensation committee fix by 2019-06-28 (claims #15465 and #15468), after unexplained director resignations on 2018-06-28 (claim #15476), and then said on 2018-08-21 that compliance was regained with Michael Berg and Fred Thiel appointed (claims #15435, #15437, #15438); what has not been said is why the prior directors resigned, whether any disagreement was cited, and whether the 2018 10-K deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim #16645) was actually met or required an extension.
The company disclosed on 2013-02-04 a 2-for-3 reverse split authorization and an exploration of disposing of its real estate business (claims #21046 and #21044); what has not been said is whether the split was executed and on what date, and whether the real estate assets were sold, to whom, and at what price relative to book value.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-13The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that its merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated (claim #15477), and on 2018-08-13 that the termination carried a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claim #15461). What has not been said is why the deal was terminated, which party received the shares and at what per-share value, and how large an expense or dilution charge was booked for a company that was flagging cash-runway doubts in the same filing (claim #15462).
The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that directors had resigned (claim #15476), and on 2018-07-12 committed to appoint two new independent directors and submit a NASDAQ compliance plan (claims #15465, #15466, #15467). It then announced on 2018-08-21 that compliance was regained, with Michael Berg chairing Audit and Fred Thiel chairing Compensation (claims #15438, #15435, #15437). What has not been said is which directors resigned and why, whether the separate compensation-committee requirement due 2019-06-28 (claim #15468) was cured by the same appointments, and whether NASDAQ formally closed the matter.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that CEO and Chairman Merrick Okamoto received 2.5 million options (claims #15384, #15385), CFO David Lieberman received 200,000 options and a $180,000 salary (claims #15390, #15391, #15392), and Compensation Committee chair Fred Thiel himself received 50,000 options (claim #15396). What has not been said is the strike price, vesting schedule and performance conditions on these grants, Okamoto's cash compensation, and how the committee handled Thiel approving a grant to himself. Together these grants consume roughly 29% of the 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve (claim #15460) within months of its adoption.
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13 (claim #15459) in the same filing that raised substantial doubt about a 12-month cash runway (claim #15462). What has not been said is the site location, power capacity in megawatts, utility or interconnection arrangement, miner count, hash-rate target, or how the expansion would be financed given the going-concern language.
The company disclosed an interim Chief Executive Officer on 2018-04-01 (claim #16644) alongside a 10-K deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim #16645), whose status is still not verifiable. What has not been said is the interim CEO's name and compensation, and whether the annual report was filed on time or under an NT 10-K extension.
The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 that patent revenue had commenced (claim #21014), with licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims #21018, #21022) and IP Navigation Group named as a key supplier (claim #21024). What has not been said is the dollar value of each license, which licensees accounted for the reported revenue, and the contingency-fee split owed to IP Navigation Group on monetization proceeds.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-13The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares, cited as claims #15461 and #15477; what has not been said is who triggered the termination, what dollar value and accounting treatment the company assigned to those shares, and whether they were issued by Marathon or paid to it. With 10,000,000 shares reserved under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (claim #15460), how material was this fee relative to the share count?
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that CEO and Chairman Merrick Okamoto received 2.5 million stock options and that CFO David Lieberman received 200,000 options plus a $180,000 base salary, cited as claims #15384, #15385, #15390, #15391 and #15392; what has not been said is the strike price, vesting schedule and performance conditions on these grants, or the CEO's cash compensation. The CEO grant alone uses a quarter of the 10,000,000-share plan reserve (claim #15460). Why was it sized that way, and did the compensation committee chaired by Fred Thiel (claim #15437), who also received options (claim #15396), approve it independently?
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15459, alongside uncertainty about its 12-month cash runway (claim #15462); what has not been said is the expansion's capacity in any unit (miners, megawatts or hashrate), the site location, the power contract or interconnection terms, and how the expansion would be financed given the going-concern language. What capital was committed, and on what timeline?
The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 that patent revenue had commenced, with licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group, cited as claims #21014, #21018, #21022 and #21024; what has not been said is the license fees or royalty terms, which portfolio produced the revenue, and the contingency-fee or revenue-share economics owed to IP Navigation Group. Across the many portfolio acquisitions (claims #21016 through #21035), what purchase prices and earn-outs were paid to sellers such as Mosaid, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems and Delphi?
The company disclosed NASDAQ deficiency deadlines on 2018-07-12, including two new independent directors and compensation committee compliance by 2019-06-28, cited as claims #15465, #15466, #15467 and #15468, and then reported regained compliance on 2018-08-21 (claim #15438); what has not been said is which specific listing rule was breached and whether the compensation committee requirement was separately cured. Relatedly, the 2018-04-01 disclosure of an unnamed interim CEO and a 10-K deadline of 2018-04-15 (claims #16644 and #16645) leaves open who held the role and whether the annual report was filed on time. Was the 2-for-3 reverse split authorized on 2013-02-04 (claim #21046) ever actually effected, and at what ratio?
Claims #20895 through #20903 (Ashish Thakkar, Mara Foundation, operations in 26 countries, UN Women and EY partnerships) appear to describe Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate, rather than Marathon. They should be verified or removed before any gap analysis relies on them.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-13The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the terminated Global Bit Ventures merger carried a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares, cited as claims #15461 and #15477; what has not been said is which party paid the fee to whom, what per-share value and total dollar amount were booked, and whether any Marathon insiders held interests in Global Bit Ventures that would make this a related-party settlement.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto received 5,000,000 stock options alongside a $350,000 base salary, cited as claims #15389 and #15388, against a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve of 10,000,000 shares disclosed on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15460; what has not been said is the strike price, vesting schedule and any performance conditions on a single grant that consumes half the plan, or how it compares with the 200,000, 100,000 and 50,000-share grants to Lieberman, Crawford, Thiel and Rudolph (claims #15392 through #15396).
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15459; what has not been said is the hosting site's location, the number and model of machines, the targeted hashrate in specific units, the power counterparty and contracted price per kWh, or the timeline for deploying the capacity.
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 substantial doubt about having 12 months of cash runway through 2019-08-13, cited as claim #15462, in the same filing that announced the mining expansion (claim #15459); what has not been said is the cash balance at that date, the monthly burn rate, and which specific equity or debt financing, with what size and timing, was expected to fund both operations and the expansion.
The company disclosed licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone and the start of patent revenue on 2014-03-30, cited as claims #21018, #21022 and #21014, along with a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group, cited as claim #21024; what has not been said is the dollar value of each license, the share of revenue paid to IP Navigation Group or to the original patent sellers under revenue-sharing terms, and how much of the acquired portfolios (claims #21016 through #21035) had generated any licensing income at all.
The company disclosed a 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 and an interim CEO on 2018-04-01, cited as claims #16645 and #16644; what has not been said is whether that 10-K was filed on time or late, who the interim CEO was and on what compensation terms, and why it was necessary. Note also that claims #20895 through #20903, covering the Mara Foundation, the Thakkar family and operations in 19 to 26 countries, appear to describe the unrelated Mara Group rather than Marathon and were not used to support any gap above.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-12The company disclosed a string of patent portfolio acquisitions on 2014-03-30, from CyberFone Systems, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, Delphi Technologies, Mosaid and TT IP, cited as claims #21017, #21019, #21020, #21023, #21016 and #21021. What has not been said is what was paid for each portfolio, or whether the sellers keep revenue-share or back-end participation rights in later licensing or litigation proceeds. What did each portfolio cost, and how much of any recovery goes back to the original owner?
The company disclosed licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone and the start of patent revenue generation on 2014-03-30, cited as claims #21018, #21022 and #21014. What has not been said is the dollar value, the term, or whether each license was a lump sum or recurring royalty. Nor has it said how concentrated early revenue was in these two counterparties. How much did each license contribute, and is any of it recurring?
The company named IP Navigation Group as a key supplier on 2014-03-30, cited as claim #21024, while also disclosing active enforcement litigation (claim #21025). What has not been said is the fee structure, such as the contingency percentage or fixed retainer, or how many active cases depend on that one relationship. What share of gross recoveries goes to IP Navigation, and what happens to the pipeline if the relationship ends?
The company disclosed that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated on 2018-06-28, alongside director resignations, then a 3,000,000-share break-up fee on 2018-08-13, cited as claims #15477, #15476 and #15461. What has not been said is which party triggered the termination and why, which directors resigned and whether they cited disagreements, or what the fee shares were worth on issuance. Who received the 3 million shares, at what implied value, and were the resignations tied to the failed deal?
The company disclosed CEO option grants to Merrick Okamoto on 2018-10-15 as both 2,500,000 and 5,000,000 shares, with change-of-control acceleration on 2.5 million unvested options, cited as claims #15385, #15389 and #15386, against a 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve (claim #15460). What has not been said is how the two grant figures reconcile, along with the strike price, the vesting schedule and any performance conditions. How much of the plan reserve went to a single executive, at what exercise price, and what event triggers acceleration?
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13 while flagging uncertainty about a 12-month cash runway, cited as claims #15459 and #15462. What has not been said is the number of machines, hash rate, site location, power contract or cost per kWh, or how the expansion would be funded. Where are the miners hosted, what is the all-in cost to mine a coin, and how will the expansion be financed if the runway is uncertain?
What we aren't being told
2026-10-12On 2018-10-15 the company disclosed option grants to Merrick Okamoto, cited as claims #15385, #15386 and #15389. One records 2.5 million options, another 2.5 million unvested options with change-of-control acceleration, and a third 5 million options. What has not been said is how these figures reconcile, what the strike prices and vesting schedules are, and what share of the 10 million-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve (claim #15460) went to a single executive within two months of the plan's creation.
The company disclosed on 2018-08-21 that Fred Thiel would chair the Compensation Committee (claim #15437), and on 2018-10-15 that Thiel received 50,000 options (claim #15396) in the same grant cycle as the CEO's award. What has not been said is whether the committee used an independent compensation consultant, what peer benchmarking supported the CEO grant, and whether the director grants were approved by the same committee that benefited from them.
The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated and that directors resigned (claims #15477 and #15476), and on 2018-08-13 that the termination carried a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claim #15461). What has not been said is which directors resigned and whether any were affiliated with Global Bit Ventures, the fair value and accounting charge for the fee shares, why a terminating party paid in equity rather than cash, and whether any mining equipment or hosting arrangements changed hands with Global Bit Ventures despite the termination.
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13 (claim #15459) in the same filing that flagged uncertainty over a 12-month cash runway (claim #15462). What has not been said is the installed machine count and hashrate, the physical location of the mining facility, the power contract terms and cost per kWh, and how the expansion would be financed given the going-concern language. A first-year analyst would also ask whether the runway concern was resolved by the 2019-08-13 horizon or carried into later filings.
The company disclosed Nasdaq compliance deadlines on 2018-07-12 for board independence, a compliance plan, and compensation committee composition (claims #15465 through #15468), then said on 2018-08-21 that compliance was regained (claim #15438) after appointing Michael Berg as Audit Committee Chair (claim #15435). What has not been said is whether the separate 2019-06-28 compensation-committee deadline (claim #15468) was satisfied on time or required a further cure period. Earlier, on 2018-04-01, the company disclosed an interim CEO (claim #16644) alongside an April 15 10-K deadline (claim #16645). What has not been said is the interim CEO's identity and compensation, or whether that 10-K was filed late.
In its 2014-03-30 annual filing the company disclosed licensing agreements with Siemens and Zhone (claims #21018 and #21022), the commencement of patent revenue (claim #21014), and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim #21024). It also disclosed portfolio acquisitions from Mosaid, CyberFone, TeleCommunication Systems, Delphi and Intergraph (claims #21016, #21017, #21019, #21023 and #21020). What has not been said is the dollar value of each license, the purchase price or contingent revenue-share owed to each seller, and the fee split retained by IP Navigation Group. Without those figures a reader cannot assess whether the monetization model was profitable before the pivot to mining.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-12The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that its merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated (claim #15477), and on 2018-08-13 that the termination carried a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim #15461). What has not been said is who received those shares and why, what they were worth on the issue date, why the deal was terminated, and whether any director or officer had an interest in Global Bit Ventures.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto was appointed Executive Chairman and CEO (claims #15387, #15384) and received stock options, but the records conflict. Claim #15385 says 2.5 million options, claim #15389 says 5,000,000, and claim #15386 describes 2.5 million unvested options with change-of-control acceleration. What has not been said is the CEO's actual total grant, its exercise price, vesting schedule and acceleration triggers. It is also unstated how a grant of that size fits within the 10,000,000-share reserve of the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (claim #15460). Taken at face value, one executive would hold 25-50% of the pool.
The same 2018-10-15 filing shows 50,000-share option grants to Fred Thiel (claim #15396) and Michael Rudolph (claim #15394). Thiel had been named Compensation Committee Chairman on 2018-08-21 (claim #15437). What has not been said is who approved these grants, including the CEO's, and whether the compensation committee chair abstained from approving awards to himself. The company also has not said how the committee met the compliance deadline it was under (claim #15468).
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13 (claim #15459). In the same filing it flagged uncertainty about having 12 months of cash runway (claim #15462). What has not been said is where the mining would physically take place, how much capacity it would have (machine count, hash rate or megawatts), and who supplies the power and on what terms. Above all, it is unstated how a company doubting its own one-year runway intended to fund the expansion.
The company disclosed on 2018-04-01 that it had an Interim Chief Executive Officer (claim #16644) and faced a 10-K deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim #16645). It then disclosed on 2018-06-28 that directors had resigned (claim #15476). What has not been said is who the interim CEO and the departing directors were, whether the 10-K was filed on time, and whether any of the resignations involved a disagreement with management. It is also unstated whether the departures caused the NASDAQ deficiencies behind claims #15465-#15467.
In its 2014-03-30 filing the company disclosed licensing agreements with Siemens Technology (claim #21018) and Zhone (claim #21022), and named IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (claim #21024). It also reported an employee count (claim #21026) without a figure. What has not been said is how much revenue each license produced, and what share of patent recoveries went to IP Navigation Group under that relationship. The actual headcount behind a business running more than ten portfolio acquisitions (claims #21015-#21035) is also missing.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-11The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that its merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated (claim #15477), the same day directors resigned (claim #15476), and on 2018-08-13 described a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim #15461). What has not been said is which party paid the fee, how the shares were valued and accounted for, why the deal collapsed, and whether the board departures were connected to the termination. What did the break-up cost shareholders in dilution and dollars?
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto became Executive Chairman and CEO at a $350,000 base salary with 5,000,000 stock options (claims #15387, #15388, #15389). It split these into 2,500,000 issued options and 2,500,000 unvested options with change-of-control acceleration (claims #15385, #15386). What has not been said is the strike price, the vesting schedule, and the performance conditions. The record also omits why roughly half of the 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve (claim #15460) went to a single executive, and whether Mr. Okamoto had any prior financing or related-party relationship with the company. Was the board's compensation committee, chaired by Fred Thiel from 2018-08-21 (claim #15437), independent in approving this package?
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 a cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim #15459), and in the same filing flagged uncertainty about a 12-month cash runway (claim #15462). What has not been said is where the miners are physically sited, the power capacity in megawatts, the number and model of machines, any hosting counterparty, and how the expansion would be financed given the going-concern-style warning. What were the hash rate target, the power contract terms, and the funding source?
The company disclosed on 2018-07-12 that it needed to submit a NASDAQ compliance plan by 2018-08-24 (claim #15466) and appoint two new independent directors by 2019-01-07 (claim #15465). It also faced a compensation committee deadline of 2019-06-28 (claim #15468), and it announced on 2018-08-21 that compliance had been regained (claim #15438). The record shows only Michael Berg as a new board appointee (claim #15435). What has not been said is who the second new independent director was, and whether the compensation committee requirement was separately satisfied by its deadline.
The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 that IP Navigation Group was a key supplier (claim #15024 is not in the record; see claim #21024), alongside licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims #21018, #21022) and the commencement of patent revenue (claim #21014). What has not been said is the economic split owed to IP Navigation on enforcement recoveries, the dollar value and duration of the Siemens and Zhone licenses, and how much of total revenue each counterparty represented. The disclosed employee count (claim #21026) carries no figure in the record. How concentrated was licensing revenue, and what did the company keep after contingency fees?
The company disclosed on 2018-04-01 an Interim Chief Executive Officer (claim #16644) and a 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim #16645). What has not been said is who the interim CEO was, why the prior CEO departed, and whether the annual report was filed on time or under an extension. Was there any auditor or internal-control issue behind the timing?
The claims dated 2013-04-04 (claims #20897 through #20903, including Ashish J. Thakkar as founder, the Mara Foundation, and operations in 26 countries) and the 2014 UN Women and EY partnerships (claims #20895, #20896) appear to describe the African conglomerate Mara Group rather than Marathon Patent Group or Marathon Digital. They should be reviewed for misattribution before any gap analysis relies on them. The claim list provided was also truncated after claim #15390, so later disclosures may close or add gaps not reflected here.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-11The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the terminated Global Bit Ventures merger carried a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim #15461), following the termination and director resignations announced on 2018-06-28 (claims #15477, #15476). What has not been said is who received those shares, what value the company assigned to them at issuance, why the merger was terminated, and whether the departing directors had any connection to Global Bit Ventures.
The company disclosed CEO Merrick Okamoto's option awards on 2018-10-15 inconsistently: 2.5 million options issued (claim #15385), 2.5 million unvested options with change-of-control acceleration (claim #15386), and a 5,000,000-option total (claim #15389). That total is half of the 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve disclosed on 2018-08-13 (claim #15460). What has not been said is the strike price, the vesting schedule for the unvested tranche, whether any vesting depends on performance, and why half the plan went to one executive two months after the plan was adopted.
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13 (claim #15459) in the same filing that flagged uncertainty about its 12-month cash runway (claim #15462). What has not been said is how many machines were deployed or ordered, at what hashrate, at which physical site, at what contracted power cost, and how the expansion was to be funded given the going-concern language.
The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 licensing agreements with Zhone and Siemens Technology (claims #21022, #21018), the start of patent revenue generation (claim #21014), and IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (claim #21024). What has not been said is the dollar value of each license, how much of patent revenue came from those two counterparties versus litigation settlements (claim #21025), and what share of recoveries went to IP Navigation Group.
The company disclosed on 2018-07-12 a series of NASDAQ compliance deadlines, including a plan submission due 2018-08-24 and board and compensation-committee cures (claims #15466, #15467, #15468, #15465). It said on 2018-08-21 that compliance had been regained after appointing Michael Berg and Fred Thiel (claims #15438, #15435, #15437). What has not been said is which specific listing rule was breached, how the two new directors were sourced, and whether either had prior business ties to management. The interim CEO disclosed on 2018-04-01 (claim #16644) was also never named on the record, and there is no confirmation that the 10-K due 2018-04-15 (claim #16645) was filed on time.
The company disclosed on 2013-02-04 a 2-for-3 reverse split authorization and an exploration of disposing of its real estate business (claims #21046, #21044). What has not been said is whether the split was ever effected at that unusual ratio, and whether the real estate assets were sold, to whom, and at what price or gain/loss.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-11The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated (claim #15477), and on 2018-08-13 that the termination carried a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim #15461). What has not been said is which side paid the fee, what per-share value and total dollar charge were booked, whether the shares came with registration rights or lock-ups, and why a deal walked away from by the counterparty would still require Marathon to issue equity.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 a grant of 5,000,000 stock options to Merrick Okamoto (claim #15389), against a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve of 10,000,000 shares disclosed on 2018-08-13 (claim #15460), plus 2,500,000 unvested options carrying change-of-control acceleration (claim #15386). What has not been said is the strike price, vesting schedule and grant-date fair value of the Okamoto award, whose options the 2.5 million accelerating options are, and how the board justified committing half the plan reserve to one executive while warning of a 12-month cash runway uncertainty (claim #15462).
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 an expansion of cryptocurrency mining (claim #15459) in the same filing that flagged doubt about funding operations through 2019-08-13 (claim #15462). What has not been said is the number and model of machines, deployed hashrate, the physical hosting site and its power contract or cost per kWh, and what financing, if any, was lined up to pay for the expansion.
The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that directors had resigned (claim #15476), then on 2018-07-12 committed to appoint two new independent directors by 2019-01-07 (claim #15465) and to meet a compensation-committee compliance deadline of 2019-06-28 (claim #15468), before announcing on 2018-08-21 that NASDAQ compliance was regained with Michael Berg as Audit Chair and Fred Thiel as Compensation Chair (claims #15435, #15437, #15438). What has not been said is why the directors resigned, whether they had disagreements with management, and how independent the compensation committee is when its chair received 50,000 options in the same October 2018 grant cycle (claim #15396) that awarded the CEO 5,000,000.
The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 that IP Navigation Group was a key supplier (claim #21024) and that patent revenue had begun (claim #21014) from portfolios bought from Mosaid, Siemens, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Delphi and others (claims #21016, #21031, #21020, #21019, #21023). What has not been said is what share of gross licensing and settlement proceeds went to IP Navigation and to the original patent sellers under contingent-payment arrangements, and therefore what Marathon actually kept per dollar of headline revenue.
The company disclosed on 2018-04-01 an Interim Chief Executive Officer (claim #16644) alongside a 10-K deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim #16645), which remains unverified. What has not been said is whether that 10-K was filed on time or under an NT 10-K extension, who the interim CEO was and why the permanent CEO left, and whether the leadership change was tied to the Global Bit Ventures deal later abandoned.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-11The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto was named Executive Chairman and CEO with a $350,000 base salary, cited as claims #15387 and #15388, alongside option grants recorded as 2.5 million shares (claim #15385), 5 million shares (claim #15389) and 2.5 million unvested options with change-of-control acceleration (claim #15386). What has not been said is how these figures reconcile: is the total grant 5 million options split into vested and unvested tranches, and what are the strike price, vesting schedule and change-of-control trigger definition?
The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 and 2018-08-13 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares, cited as claims #15477 and #15461, and that directors resigned at the same time, cited as claim #15476. What has not been said is why the merger was terminated, which side triggered the fee, what the 3 million shares were worth when issued, whether they were registered or restricted, and whether the director resignations were connected to the termination.
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15459, in the same filing that flagged substantial doubt about a 12-month cash runway, cited as claim #15462. What has not been said is the scale and location of that expansion: how many machines, what hash rate, which hosting site or power counterparty, what cost per kWh, and how the expansion would be funded given the stated going-concern risk.
The company disclosed on 2018-07-12 a NASDAQ compliance plan with deadlines for two new independent directors and a compensation committee, cited as claims #15465, #15466, #15467 and #15468, and on 2018-08-21 that compliance had been regained with Michael Berg and Fred Thiel appointed as committee chairs, cited as claims #15435, #15437 and #15438. What has not been said is whether the compensation-committee requirement tracked separately to 2019-06-28 was also satisfied by those appointments, and whether the committee that approved Okamoto's October 2018 package (claims #15385 to #15389) was fully independent at the time it acted.
The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone, cited as claims #21018 and #21022, the start of patent revenue generation, cited as claim #21014, and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group, cited as claim #21024. What has not been said is the dollar value of each license, how much of reported revenue each counterparty contributed, and the fee or contingency split paid to IP Navigation Group out of litigation and licensing proceeds. The same filing references an employee count, cited as claim #21026, without the number appearing in the record.
The company disclosed on 2018-04-01 the appointment of an interim Chief Executive Officer and a 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15, cited as claims #16644 and #16645. What has not been said is who the interim CEO was, what precipitated the leadership change, and whether the annual report was filed on time or under an extension.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-10The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto was appointed Executive Chairman and CEO at a $350,000 base salary with 5,000,000 stock options, cited as claims #15387, #15388 and #15389. It also disclosed a 2,500,000-option tranche, claim #15385, and 2,500,000 unvested options with change-of-control acceleration, claim #15386. What has not been said is the strike price, the vesting schedule or performance hurdles for the unvested half, any bonus target, and the change-of-control definition that triggers acceleration. Those terms decide whether the grant rewards performance or simply rewards a sale.
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares, cited as claims #15461 and #15477. What has not been said is which party received the shares, what they were worth on the issue date, and why the deal was terminated. That last point matters because directors resigned the same day, claim #15476, and investors need to know whether the two events are connected.
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 a cryptocurrency mining expansion, claim #15459, alongside an admission that its 12-month cash runway was uncertain, claim #15462. What has not been said is the number of machines, the hashrate in stated units, the site location and power contract (MW, price per kWh, utility counterparty), and how the expansion would be funded given the going-concern language.
The company disclosed on 2018-07-12 Nasdaq deadlines to add two independent directors by 2019-01-07 and to fix its compensation committee by 2019-06-28, cited as claims #15465 and #15468. It then disclosed on 2018-08-21 that compliance had been regained after Michael Berg and Fred Thiel joined, claims #15435, #15437 and #15438. What has not been said is which specific listing-rule deficiency was cured on that date, whether the separate compensation-committee deadline was also satisfied, and whether the 50,000-option grants to Thiel and Michael Rudolph, claims #15396 and #15394, were approved by a fully independent committee.
The company disclosed on 2018-04-01 an interim CEO and a 10-K deadline of 2018-04-15, cited as claims #16644 and #16645. What has not been said is the interim CEO's name and pay, whether the 10-K was filed on time or under an NT 10-K extension, and whether any auditor change or material weakness explained the timing.
In the patent-licensing era, the company disclosed on 2014-03-30 that patent revenue had begun and that IP Navigation Group was a key supplier, cited as claims #21014 and #21024. It also disclosed licensing agreements with Siemens and Zhone, claims #21018 and #21022. What has not been said is the revenue attributable to each licensee, the fee or revenue-share terms paid to IP Navigation Group, and the purchase price for each acquired portfolio.
Two caveats on the record itself. Claims #20895 through #20903 (Ashish and Jagdish Thakkar, 19 African countries, the Mara Foundation, the UN Women and EY partnerships) appear to describe Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate, so they were not used. The claim list was also truncated after claim #15396, so later disclosures were not evaluated.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-10The company announced the termination of its Global Bit Ventures merger on 2018-06-28, cited as claims #15477 and #15461, along with a break-up fee paid in 3,000,000 shares. It disclosed director resignations on the same date, cited as claim #15476. What has not been said is why the deal was terminated, what the fee shares were worth on the issue date and how that charge was booked, and which directors resigned and whether their departures were tied to the failed merger.
On 2018-10-15 the company disclosed a grant of 5,000,000 stock options to Merrick Okamoto and a $350,000 base salary, cited as claims #15389 and #15388. Two months earlier it had reserved 10,000,000 shares under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, cited as claim #15460. What has not been said is the strike price, vesting schedule and any performance conditions on a single grant equal to half the plan's reserve. The company also has not said who served as the interim CEO it disclosed on 2018-04-01, cited as claim #16644, or how that person was paid.
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15459, in the same filing that flagged uncertainty about a 12-month cash runway, cited as claim #15462. What has not been said is the scale of the expansion in machines, hash rate or megawatts. Nor has it said where the miners are physically hosted, what it pays per kWh, or how the build-out would be funded given the going-concern language.
On 2014-03-30 the company said patent revenue generation had commenced and that it had licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone, cited as claims #21014, #21018 and #21022. In the same filing it named IP Navigation Group as a key supplier, cited as claim #21024. What has not been said is how much revenue each license produced, and whether those were one-time or running royalties. It also has not said what share of recoveries went to IP Navigation Group or back to the original patent sellers under any contingent-payment terms.
The 2014-03-30 filing referenced the company's employee count and patent portfolio composition, cited as claims #21026 and #21013, and a string of portfolio acquisitions from Delphi, Intergraph, Mosaid, CyberFone, TeleCommunication Systems and others, cited as claims #21016 through #21023. What has not been said in the record is the actual headcount, the number of patents held, or the purchase price paid for each portfolio. Without those, a reader cannot judge whether these assets were worth what was paid for them.
The company received Nasdaq deficiency deadlines on 2018-07-12, cited as claims #15465 through #15468, including a requirement to add two independent directors and a compensation committee deadline of 2019-06-28. It then announced compliance regained on 2018-08-21, cited as claim #15438, after appointing Michael Berg and naming Fred Thiel compensation committee chair, cited as claims #15435 and #15437. What has not been said is whether the second independent director seat and the full compensation committee requirement were actually satisfied by their deadlines. Weeks after his appointment, Thiel himself received 50,000 options, cited as claim #15396, and the company has not said how that bears on his independence when setting executive pay.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-10The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 a string of patent portfolio acquisitions from Mosaid, Siemens Technology, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Delphi, Zhone, CyberFone and TT IP, cited as claims #21016, #21031, #21020, #21019, #21023, #21035, #21017 and #21021; what has not been said is the purchase price, upfront-versus-contingent split, and any revenue-share owed back to each seller. The same filing names IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (claim #21024) without stating what share of licensing or litigation proceeds that firm takes.
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the terminated Global Bit Ventures merger carried a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares, cited as claims #15461 and #15477; what has not been said is who received those shares, the dollar value on the issuance date, why the deal failed, and whether the director resignations disclosed on 2018-06-28 (claim #15476) were connected to the termination.
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15459; what has not been said is where the machines sit, how many miners or how much hashrate was deployed, the megawatt capacity of the host site, and who supplies the power and on what contract term.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 option grants to CEO Merrick Okamoto described as 5,000,000 shares (claim #15389), 2,500,000 issued (claim #15385) and 2,500,000 unvested with change-of-control acceleration (claim #15386); what has not been said is the strike price, vesting schedule, what counts as a change of control, and how a single executive's grant reconciles with the 10,000,000-share reserve of the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (claim #15460), which it would consume roughly half of.
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 substantial doubt about a 12-month cash runway, cited as claim #15462; what has not been said is the monthly burn rate, the dollar amount of financing needed, and the intended source. Combined with an interim CEO (claim #16644) whose name and appointment terms are not stated and a 10-K deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim #16645) with no confirmation it was met, a reader cannot tell whether the company was current in its filings during that stretch.
The company disclosed on 2018-08-21 that it regained NASDAQ compliance after appointing Michael Berg and Fred Thiel (claims #15438, #15435, #15437); what has not been said is whether the separate compensation committee requirement with a 2019-06-28 deadline (claim #15468) was resolved, and whether either new independent director had any prior business, investment or consulting relationship with management. Separately, claims #20895 through #20903 (Mara Foundation, Ashish Thakkar, operations in 26 countries) appear to describe the unrelated African Mara Group and should not be read as company disclosures.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-10The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto received 2.5 million stock options (claim #15385), that 2.5 million unvested options carry change-of-control acceleration (claim #15386), and that he holds 5 million options in total (claim #15389). What has not been said is how these figures reconcile into one grant schedule. What are the exercise prices, the vesting triggers for each tranche, and the change-of-control definition that would accelerate them?
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the Global Bit Ventures merger ended with a break-up fee payable in 3,000,000 shares (claim #15461), following the termination first reported on 2018-06-28 (claim #15477), when directors also resigned (claim #15476). What has not been said is the dollar value of those shares at issuance, who received them, and whether any resigning director had a relationship with Global Bit Ventures. Why did the merger fail, and why was the fee paid in stock rather than cash?
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 a cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim #15459) in the same filing that flagged doubt about its 12-month cash runway (claim #15462). What has not been said is any operational unit behind the expansion: machine count, hashrate, site location, power contract terms or cost per kWh, and hosting counterparty. How would a company uncertain of a year's liquidity fund the expansion, and with what dilution?
The company disclosed on 2018-07-12 a series of NASDAQ deadlines: a compliance plan due 2018-08-24 (claim #15466), two new independent directors by 2019-01-07 (claim #15465), listing-rule compliance by 2019-01-07 (claim #15467), and a compensation committee requirement by 2019-06-28 (claim #15468). It then stated on 2018-08-21 that compliance was regained (claim #15438), with appointments of Michael Berg (claim #15435) and Fred Thiel (claim #15437). What has not been said is whether that regained compliance covered the separate compensation-committee deadline, and whether NASDAQ issued formal written confirmation. Relatedly, the company named an interim CEO on 2018-04-01 without identifying them in the record (claim #16644), and never confirmed whether the 10-K due 2018-04-15 (claim #16645) was filed on time.
The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 licensing agreements with Zhone (claim #21022) and Siemens Technology (claim #21018), a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim #21024), the start of patent revenue (claim #21014), and an employee count (claim #21026). What has not been said is the dollar value of any license, the revenue-share or contingency-fee split owed to IP Navigation Group, how concentrated revenue was across those licensees, and the actual headcount. Separately, the record never resolves the real-estate disposition announced on 2013-02-04 (claim #21044): was the business sold, and on what terms?
What we aren't being told
2026-10-10The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated (claim #15477), and on 2018-08-13 that the termination carried a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim #15461). What has not been said is who received those shares, how they were valued on the issue date, and what, if anything, Marathon got in return, such as mining equipment, hosting rights or IP. Nor has it said why a merger that apparently justified a break-up fee in stock was abandoned.
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13 (claim #15459). In the same filing it flagged uncertainty over whether it had 12 months of cash runway (claim #15462). What has not been said is the scale or location of the mining operation: machine count, hashrate, megawatts under contract, site address, power counterparty or price per kWh. It also has not said how an expansion is to be funded when the company is warning on going concern.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto was appointed Executive Chairman and CEO (claims #15384, #15387) with a $350,000 base salary (claim #15388). The same filing gives option figures of 5,000,000 shares (claim #15389) and 2,500,000 issued plus 2,500,000 unvested with change-of-control acceleration (claims #15385, #15386). What has not been said is whether these figures overlap or add up, the strike prices, the vesting schedules, and the triggers that define a change of control. Investors would also want to know whether Okamoto or entities affiliated with him had any prior financing, consulting or related-party relationship with the company before he took both top roles.
The company disclosed director resignations on 2018-06-28 (claim #15476), then a set of NASDAQ deadlines for new independent directors, compensation committee composition and a compliance plan (claims #15465, #15466, #15467, #15468). It reported regaining compliance on 2018-08-21 (claim #15438) after appointing Michael Berg and Fred Thiel (claims #15435, #15437). What has not been said is why the prior directors resigned, whether any disagreement with management was involved, and how the 50,000-share option grant to Thiel (claim #15396) bears on the independence assessment. It also has not confirmed whether the 2019-06-28 compensation committee deadline was separately satisfied.
The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 that patent revenue generation had commenced (claim #21014), alongside licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims #21018, #21022) and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim #21024). What has not been said is the dollar value or structure of those licenses (lump sum or running royalty), how much of reported revenue each counterparty accounted for, and the contingency-fee or revenue split owed to IP Navigation Group. The cost of acquiring the CyberFone, Delphi, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph and Mosaid portfolios (claims #21017, #21023, #21019, #21020, #21016) is also undisclosed, as is any backend revenue-share owed to the sellers.
The company disclosed an interim Chief Executive Officer on 2018-04-01 (claim #16644) alongside a 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim #16645). What has not been said in this record is who the interim CEO was, why the prior CEO departed, and whether the annual report was filed on time or under an extension. Separately, claims #20895 through #20903 (Mara Foundation, Ashish and Jagdish Thakkar, operations in 26 countries) appear to describe the unrelated Mara Group rather than Marathon. They were not treated as company disclosures here.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-10The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the terminated Global Bit Ventures merger carried a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares, cited as claims #15461 and #15477; what has not been said is why Marathon, rather than the counterparty, bore the fee, what the shares were worth on the issuance date, and which specific breach or condition failure triggered the termination.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto was appointed Executive Chairman and CEO at a $350,000 base salary with 5,000,000 stock options, 2,500,000 issued outright and 2,500,000 unvested with change-of-control acceleration, cited as claims #15384 through #15389; what has not been said is the strike price, the vesting schedule, how change of control is defined, and whether Okamoto had any prior investor or financing relationship with the company. The grant is also equal to half of the 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve, cited as claim #15460, and the company has not said whether the board considered that concentration or what remains for other employees.
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15459, alongside going-concern-style uncertainty about a 12-month cash runway, cited as claim #15462; what has not been said is the number and model of machines, the installed or targeted hash rate, the physical site and power contract terms including the price per kWh, and how the expansion would be funded given the runway warning.
The company disclosed that directors resigned on 2018-06-28, cited as claim #15476, that it faced NASDAQ deadlines to add two independent directors and fix compensation committee composition, cited as claims #15465 through #15468, and that it regained compliance on 2018-08-21 with Michael Berg and Fred Thiel appointed to committee chairs, cited as claims #15435, #15437 and #15438; what has not been said is which directors resigned, whether any resignation involved a disagreement with management, and whether the separate compensation committee deadline of 2019-06-28 was independently satisfied.
The company disclosed licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone, a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group, and the commencement of patent revenue on 2014-03-30, cited as claims #21014, #21018, #21022 and #21024; what has not been said is the dollar consideration of each license, the share of recoveries paid to IP Navigation Group or original patent sellers, and what percentage of revenue came from a single licensee.
The company disclosed an Interim Chief Executive Officer and a 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 in a 2018-04-01 record, cited as claims #16644 and #16645; what has not been said in the record is the interim CEO's name and compensation, or whether the 10-K was filed on time. Claims #20895 through #20903 describe Mara Group, an African conglomerate founded by Ashish J. Thakkar, and appear to be attributed to Marathon by mistake, so they were not used here; the claim list was also truncated after claim #15384.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-10The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that its Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares, cited as claim #15461, following the 2018-06-28 termination and director resignations, cited as claims #15477 and #15476. What has not been said is who received those shares, what they were worth on issuance, whether the resigning directors had any connection to Global Bit Ventures, and why the merger was abandoned. Why did a terminated deal cost shareholders 3,000,000 shares, and who was paid?
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto, named CEO and Chairman, received 5,000,000 stock options, cited as claims #15384 and #15389, two months after a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve of 10,000,000 shares, cited as claim #15460. What has not been said is the strike price, the vesting schedule, any performance conditions, or whether Okamoto or his affiliates had prior financing or other related-party dealings with the company. Why did half the plan reserve go to a single executive, on what terms, and what other arrangements exist between the company and Okamoto?
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15459, and on the same date flagged uncertainty about its 12-month cash runway, cited as claim #15462. What has not been said is the number of miners, hashrate, site location, power cost or contract counterparty, or how the expansion would be funded given the going-concern doubt. Where are the machines, who supplies the power and at what rate, and what financing pays for the build-out?
The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 a series of patent portfolio acquisitions from Siemens, Delphi, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Zhone, Mosaid and others, cited as claims #21016 through #21035, alongside a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group, cited as claim #21024, and the start of patent revenue, cited as claim #21014. What has not been said is the consideration paid for each portfolio, whether sellers retained back-end revenue shares, what IP Navigation Group is paid, or how much revenue each portfolio has produced. What share of each licensing or litigation recovery goes to the original owners and to IP Navigation Group, and which portfolios account for the revenue?
The company disclosed on 2018-07-12 deadlines to appoint two independent directors and to bring its compensation committee into Nasdaq compliance by 2019-06-28, cited as claims #15465 and #15468, and on 2018-08-21 that it had regained compliance with Michael Berg and Fred Thiel chairing the audit and compensation committees, cited as claims #15438, #15435 and #15437. What has not been said is whether the compensation committee met independence and size requirements when it approved the October 2018 option grants, cited as claims #15389 and #15396, including Thiel's own 50,000 options. Was the committee that approved the CEO's 5,000,000-option grant fully constituted and independent at the time, and did any member grant awards to themselves?
The company disclosed on 2018-04-01 an interim CEO and a 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15, cited as claims #16644 and #16645, but the record does not name the interim officer or confirm the filing was made on time, and a 2014 employee count, cited as claim #21026, appears with no figure. Who served as interim CEO, was the 2017 10-K filed timely, and how many employees did the company have through its pivot from patents to mining? Claims #20895 through #20903, dated 2013-2014, describe Mara Group, the African conglomerate founded by Ashish Thakkar, and appear to be misattributed to this company; the claim list also ends at claim #15388, so later disclosures were not reviewed.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-09The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that it was expanding into cryptocurrency mining, cited as claim #15459, while warning in the same filing of uncertainty over its 12-month cash runway, cited as claim #15462. What has not been said is where the machines are or will be sited, how many units and what hash rate or megawatts are involved, whether a third-party host is involved and under what contract, and how the expansion will be funded given the stated going-concern risk.
The company disclosed the termination of the Global Bit Ventures merger on 2018-06-28, cited as claim #15477, and a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares, cited as claim #15461. What has not been said is which side paid the fee and who received the shares, what value was assigned to them at issuance, whether any registration rights or lock-up attached, and why the merger was terminated. The coincident director resignations, cited as claim #15476, are also not explained.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto was appointed Executive Chairman and CEO at a $350,000 base salary with 5,000,000 options, cited as claims #15388 and #15389. Half of those options, 2,500,000, carry change-of-control acceleration, cited as claims #15385 and #15386. What has not been said is the strike price, the vesting schedule and any performance conditions on the unvested tranche, or how a single grant equal to half of the 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve, cited as claim #15460, was sized. It is also unexplained why the change-of-control trigger was attached to a company with a disclosed cash-runway problem.
The company disclosed that Fred Thiel was named Compensation Committee chairman on 2018-08-21 and that Thiel and Michael Rudolph each received 50,000 options on 2018-10-15, cited as claims #15437, #15396 and #15394. Michael Berg was named Audit Committee chair, cited as claim #15435. What has not been said is which committee members approved the Okamoto package, whether any director had a prior relationship with the new CEO, and whether the Nasdaq compensation-committee requirement carrying a 2019-06-28 deadline was ever separately confirmed as satisfied. That deadline is cited as claim #15468, distinct from the general compliance regained in claim #15438.
The company disclosed an Interim Chief Executive Officer and a 10-K deadline of 2018-04-15, cited as claims #16644 and #16645. What has not been said is the interim officer's name and compensation, whether the 10-K was filed on time or under an extension, and what led to the leadership vacancy that preceded the October appointment.
The company disclosed in its 2014-03-30 filing a string of patent portfolio acquisitions and licenses involving Siemens, Zhone, Delphi, Intergraph, Mosaid, TeleCommunication Systems and CyberFone, cited as claims #21016 through #21023, #21031 and #21035. It also named IP Navigation Group as a key supplier, cited as claim #21024, and announced that patent revenue had commenced, cited as claim #21014. What has not been said is the purchase price or revenue-share terms for each portfolio, what share of recoveries flows to IP Navigation Group or to the original patent owners, and how much revenue each portfolio generated. It is also unexplained why the Sampo IP acquisition announced on 2013-02-04, cited as claim #21042, reappears as a separate acquisition and rights grant in 2014, cited as claims #21015 and #21028.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-09The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the terminated Global Bit Ventures merger carried a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim #15461), following the termination announced 2018-06-28 (claim #15477). What has not been said is which party bears the fee, whether the shares were ever issued, at what per-share value, and how the obligation was recorded.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto was named Executive Chairman and CEO at a $350,000 base salary with 5,000,000 stock options (claims #15387, #15388, #15389). The same filing cites 2,500,000 options issued and 2,500,000 unvested options with change-of-control acceleration (claims #15385, #15386), against a 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve (claim #15460). What has not been said is the strike price, the vesting schedule or performance conditions on the unvested tranche, and the rationale for granting half the plan reserve to a single executive while 12-month cash runway was in doubt (claim #15462).
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13 (claim #15459), alongside a going-concern-style warning that cash may not cover the next 12 months (claim #15462). What has not been said is the scale of the expansion: machine count, hashrate, site location, power contract terms and price, any hosting counterparty, and how the expansion would be financed given the stated runway risk.
The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that directors had resigned (claim #15476). It then faced a NASDAQ deadline to add two independent directors by 2019-01-07 and a separate compensation-committee compliance deadline of 2019-06-28 (claims #15465, #15467, #15468). It reported compliance regained on 2018-08-21 after appointing Michael Berg and Fred Thiel (claims #15435, #15437, #15438). What has not been said is who resigned and why, whether any disagreement with management was cited, and why the compensation-committee deadline remained open after compliance was declared regained.
The company disclosed an Interim Chief Executive Officer and a 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (claims #16644, #16645). What has not been said is the interim CEO's identity and compensation, and whether the 10-K was filed on time or under an NT 10-K extension.
The company disclosed in its 2014-03-30 filing that patent revenue generation had commenced (claim #21014). That filing also cited licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims #21018, #21022) and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim #21024). What has not been said is the revenue attributable to each licensee, the upfront versus running-royalty split, and the revenue-share or fee economics paid to IP Navigation Group out of those recoveries.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-09The company disclosed a cluster of patent portfolio acquisitions on 2014-03-30, from Mosaid, CyberFone, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, Delphi, Siemens and Zhone, cited as claims #21016, #21017, #21019, #21020, #21023, #21031 and #21035, alongside licensing agreements with Siemens and Zhone (claims #21018, #21022). What has not been said is what was paid for each portfolio, whether the sellers retain a back-end share of enforcement proceeds, and whether the Siemens and Zhone licenses are license-backs to the same parties that sold the patents. If they are, how much of the reported patent revenue (claim #21014) is actually recycled seller consideration?
The company named IP Navigation Group as a key supplier on 2014-03-30, cited as claim #21024, while disclosing active enforcement litigation (claim #21025). What has not been said is the fee structure: is it a contingency percentage of recoveries, a fixed retainer, or both? Does any officer or director have an economic interest in IP Navigation Group?
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a 3,000,000-share break-up fee, cited as claims #15461 and #15477. Directors resigned on the same date as the termination (claim #15476). What has not been said is whether those shares were actually issued and at what per-share value the fee was booked. Which directors left, did any resignation cite a disagreement, and did any departing director have a relationship with Global Bit Ventures?
The company disclosed Merrick Okamoto's appointment as Executive Chairman and CEO on 2018-10-15 at a $350,000 base salary with 5,000,000 options, split into two 2,500,000 tranches, one carrying change-of-control acceleration (claims #15384 to #15389). What has not been said is the exercise price, the vesting schedule, and any performance conditions on either tranche. It is also unstated whether this grant draws on the 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve disclosed in claim #15460, which would put half the pool with one person. Finally, did Okamoto or his affiliates hold pre-existing equity or financing positions in the company?
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15459, in the same filing that flagged uncertainty about a 12-month cash runway (claim #15462). What has not been said is the number and model of machines, the hash rate, the power capacity in megawatts, the hosting site location and electricity rate, and how the expansion was to be funded given the going-concern language.
The company disclosed an interim CEO on 2018-04-01 alongside a 10-K deadline of 2018-04-15, cited as claims #16644 and #16645. Separately, it said on 2018-08-21 that it had regained NASDAQ compliance (claim #15438), even though the 2018-07-12 notices (claims #15465 to #15468) set board and compensation-committee deadlines running into 2019. What has not been said is who the interim CEO was and whether the 10-K was filed on time. Did the 2018-08-21 compliance notice resolve every deficiency, or only the audit-committee one?
Separately, claims #20895 to #20903 (Mara Foundation, the Thakkar family, UN Women and EY partnerships, operations in 26 countries) appear to describe the African conglomerate Mara Group rather than Marathon Patent Group or Marathon Digital. They should be checked for entity misattribution before any gap is drawn from them.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-09The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that its merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated (claim #15477), and on 2018-08-13 it described a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim #15461). What has not been said is why the deal was terminated, whether those shares have actually been issued, what they were worth on the issue date, and how the charge was booked. The same-day director resignations (claim #15476) raise a further question: which directors left, and did they cite a disagreement with the company?
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto received 5,000,000 stock options on his appointment as Executive Chairman and CEO (claims #15387, #15389). The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserves only 10,000,000 shares (claim #15460). What has not been said is the strike price, the vesting schedule, any performance conditions, or his cash salary. The CFO's $180,000 base salary was disclosed (claim #15391), so the omission of the CEO's salary stands out. So does the fact that half of the plan reserve went to one person.
The company disclosed on 2018-08-21 that Fred Thiel was appointed Compensation Committee Chairman (claim #15437), and on 2018-10-15 that he received 50,000 options (claim #15396). What has not been said is who approved the option grants to the compensation committee's own members. It is also unclear whether a second independent director was ever seated to meet the compensation committee requirement (claims #15465, #15468), since only Michael Berg's appointment is on record (claim #15435).
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 a cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim #15459) alongside going-concern-style uncertainty about its 12-month cash runway (claim #15462). What has not been said is the number of miners, the installed hashrate, where the machines are hosted, the power price and capacity in megawatts, and who the hosting counterparty is. It is also unclear how the expansion would be funded given the stated runway risk.
The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 that patent revenue had begun (claim #21014). It named licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims #21018, #21022) and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim #21024). What has not been said is how much revenue each licensee contributed, what revenue share or contingency fee IP Navigation Group receives, and how many employees the company had, since the headcount claim (claim #21026) carries no figure.
The company disclosed on 2018-04-01 that an Interim Chief Executive Officer was in place (claim #16644) and that the 10-K was due by 2018-04-15 (claim #16645). What has not been said is who the interim CEO was, why the prior CEO left, and whether the 10-K was filed on time or required an extension notice.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-09The company disclosed the termination of the Global Bit Ventures merger on 2018-06-28, cited as claims #15477 and #15461, along with a break-up fee paid in 3,000,000 shares, and on the same date that directors resigned (claim #15476). What has not been said is why the deal collapsed, what the shares were worth on the termination date, who received them, which directors left, and whether those resignations were tied to the failed merger.
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15459. What has not been said is where the machines are located, how many miners were deployed or ordered, the expected hashrate or megawatts, the power price, and whether the site is owned or run by an unnamed third-party hosting provider.
The company disclosed 2.5 million stock options to the CEO on 2018-10-15 (claim #15385), drawn from a 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve (claim #15460), plus grants to David Lieberman and James Crawford (claims #15391, #15392, #15393). What has not been said is the exercise price, vesting schedule, and any performance conditions for these grants, what roles Lieberman and Crawford hold, and what interim CEO Merrick Okamoto (claim #16648) was paid when appointed in April 2018.
The company disclosed substantial doubt about a 12-month cash runway on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15462, while expanding mining capacity at the same time. What has not been said is the cash balance and monthly burn, how the expansion is being funded, and what dilution shareholders should expect from the financing needed to close the gap.
The company disclosed a delayed 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim #16645) and a series of Nasdaq compliance deadlines (claims #15466, #15467, #15468, #15465), later reporting regained compliance on 2018-08-21 (claim #15438). What has not been said is the cause of the late 10-K, whether the auditor or internal-control findings were involved, and whether the 2019 compensation-committee deadline was ever formally met.
The company disclosed licensing agreements with Zhone and Siemens and the start of patent revenue on 2014-03-30 (claims #21022, #21018, #21014), and named IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (claim #21024). What has not been said is how much each license paid, how proceeds are split with IP Navigation Group and the original patent sellers under contingency arrangements, and how many employees (claim #21026 gives no figure) actually run a portfolio of more than seven acquired patent families.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-08The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the terminated Global Bit Ventures merger carried a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim #15461), following the termination announced 2018-06-28 (claim #15477). What has not been said is who received those shares, at what per-share value the fee was booked, whether the shares were actually issued or settled another way, and why the merger was abandoned when the cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim #15459) depended on it.
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13 (claim #15459) in the same filing that flagged doubt about its 12-month cash runway (claim #15462). What has not been said is how many machines or how much hash rate the expansion involves, where the miners are hosted (site address, host counterparty, power contract and price per kWh), and what financing will cover both the expansion and the runway gap through 2019-08-13.
The company disclosed 2.5 million stock options to Merrick Okamoto on his appointment as Executive Chairman and CEO on 2018-10-15 (claims #15385 and #15387), drawn from a 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve (claim #15460), alongside 50,000-share director grants (claims #15395 and #15396). What has not been said is the exercise price, vesting schedule and any performance conditions on the CEO grant, what he was paid while interim CEO from 2018-04-01 (claim #16648), and how much of the plan reserve remains after these grants.
The company disclosed on 2018-08-21 that it had regained compliance with NASDAQ listing rules and seated three new directors (claims #15438, #15435, #15436, #15437). Yet the 2018-07-12 deadlines for the compliance plan, the two independent directors, and compensation-committee composition remain recorded as delayed (claims #15466, #15465, #15468), and the 2018-04-15 10-K deadline is also recorded as delayed (claim #16645). What has not been said is which specific rule was breached, whether NASDAQ formally closed each deficiency, and why the annual report was late.
The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 that it had begun generating patent revenue (claim #21014) through licensing agreements with Siemens and Zhone (claims #21018 and #21022), supported by a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim #21024). What has not been said is the revenue attributable to each licensee, the upfront and contingent purchase prices paid for each acquired portfolio (claims #21016, #21017, #21019, #21020, #21021, #21023), and the fee or revenue share IP Navigation Group retains. Separately, the real estate disposition flagged on 2013-02-04 (claim #21044) was never followed by a disclosed sale price or completion date.
The record attributes to this company claims dated 2013-04-04 and 2014 that describe the Mara Foundation, Ashish and Jagdish Thakkar, operations in 26 countries, and partnerships with UN Women and EY (claims #20895 through #20903). These appear to belong to the unrelated African conglomerate Mara Group rather than Marathon Patent Group. What has not been resolved is whether any actual corporate relationship exists, and absent one, these claims should not be read as Marathon disclosures.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-08The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim #15461, following the termination noted on 2018-06-28 in claim #15477). What has not been said is who received those shares, how they were valued at issuance, whether they carried registration rights or lock-ups, and how the fee was recorded. The filing also does not say why a fee was owed by the company rather than by the counterparty.
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13 (claim #15459), in the same filing that flagged uncertainty over a 12-month cash runway (claim #15462). What has not been said is the scale of the expansion, the site and its power supply, and how it will be paid for. Missing specifics include the number and model of miners, target hashrate, the physical facility, the power contract terms and cost per kWh, and whether hosting partners are involved. Without that, the plan cannot be reconciled with the going-concern language.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto was appointed Executive Chairman and CEO (claim #15387) and that 2.5 million unvested options carry change-of-control acceleration (claim #15386). It also disclosed option grants of 200,000 shares to David Lieberman (claim #15392) and 100,000 shares to James Crawford (claim #15393). What has not been said is the strike price, vesting schedule and holder of the accelerating options, or the cash compensation attached to the combined Chairman/CEO role. Also undisclosed is whether any related-party relationships exist between these executives and the company's financing counterparties. This matters more because the board was still working toward compensation committee compliance (claim #15468), drawn from the 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve (claim #15460).
The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that directors resigned (claim #15476), which led to NASDAQ compliance deadlines (claims #15465, #15466, #15467) and later a statement that compliance was regained (claim #15438). What has not been said is which directors left, whether any resignation involved a disagreement with management, and whether the departures were tied to the failed Global Bit Ventures merger announced the same day.
The company disclosed on 2018-04-01 an interim CEO change (claims #16644, #16648) and a 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 that was delayed (claim #16645). What has not been said is why the annual report was late, whether the delay involved auditor issues or an accounting review, and whether any restatement or internal-control weakness followed.
In its 2014-03-30 annual filing, the company described patent revenue generation commencing (claim #21014) and licensing agreements with Zhone and Siemens Technology (claims #21022, #21018). It also named IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (claim #21024). What has not been said is the dollar value of license revenue by counterparty, the revenue-share or contingency-fee split paid to IP Navigation Group, and how much of the acquired portfolios' purchase price was contingent on future recoveries. The employee count (claim #21026) is recorded without a figure, so it is also unclear how a firm with no R&D spend (claim #21027) staffs its enforcement litigation (claim #21025).
What we aren't being told
2026-10-07The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated (claim #15477), and on 2018-08-13 that a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares was owed (claim #15461); what has not been said is why the deal was terminated, what dollar value was assigned to those shares at issuance, how the fee was booked, and whether the shares carried registration or resale rights that added dilution.
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13 (claim #15459), alongside going-concern-style uncertainty about a 12-month cash runway (claim #15462); what has not been said is the number and model of miners deployed, the hosting site's location and contracted power capacity in megawatts, the all-in power cost per kWh, and how the expansion would be funded given the stated runway risk.
Merrick Okamoto was named Interim CEO on 2018-04-01 (claims #16644, #16648) and Executive Chairman and CEO on 2018-10-15, with 2.5 million unvested options carrying change-of-control acceleration (claims #15387, #15386); what has not been said is the strike price, vesting schedule, and definition of a change-of-control trigger for those options, or what cash salary and bonus terms accompanied the permanent appointment. The same gap applies to the 100,000 and 200,000 option grants to James Crawford and David Lieberman (claims #15393, #15392), which were disclosed without strike, vesting, or role context.
The company disclosed a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve of 10,000,000 shares on 2018-08-13 (claim #15460) shortly after resolving a compensation committee compliance deficiency (claims #15468, #15437); what has not been said is what that reserve represents as a percentage of shares outstanding, how many shares were already granted from it by year-end, and whether the newly constituted compensation committee approved the October 2018 grants.
The 10-K due 2018-04-15 was delayed (claim #16645), followed by NASDAQ compliance-plan and board-independence deadlines (claims #15466, #15467, #15465) that were later reported as regained on 2018-08-21 (claim #15438); what has not been said is the specific cause of the late 10-K, whether it involved auditor disagreement or restatement, and the actual filing date.
The 2014-03-30 filing lists more than a dozen patent portfolio acquisitions, including CyberFone, Mosaid, Siemens, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Delphi, Zhone, and TT IP (claims #21016 through #21036), licensing agreements with Zhone and Siemens (claims #21022, #21018), patent revenue commencement (claim #21014), and IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (claim #21024); what has not been said is the purchase consideration and any revenue-share owed back to the sellers for each portfolio, the economics of the IP Navigation relationship, and how much of reported licensing revenue came from each named licensee or litigation settlement (claim #21025).
What we aren't being told
2026-10-07The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares, cited as claims #15461 and #15477. What has not been said is why the merger was terminated, whether those shares were actually issued and when, what they were worth on the issuance date, and how the fee was accounted for in the period's results.
The company announced a cryptocurrency mining expansion on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15459. What has not been said is how many machines were involved and of what model, what hashrate they were expected to deliver, where they would be sited, who the hosting or power counterparty was, and at what contracted cost per kilowatt-hour.
The company disclosed uncertainty about its 12-month cash runway on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15462, alongside a 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve, cited as claim #15460. What has not been said is the cash balance and monthly burn rate behind that going-concern language, and the size and structure of the financing management expected to rely on, including how much of the plan reserve could dilute holders before that runway question was resolved.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 option grants of 100,000 shares to James Crawford and 50,000 shares each to directors Fred Thiel, Michael Berg and Michael Rudolph, cited as claims #15393 through #15396. It had also disclosed Merrick D. Okamoto as Interim Chief Executive Officer on 2018-04-01, cited as claims #16644 and #16648. What has not been said is the strike price, vesting schedule and grant-date fair value of those options, what role Crawford held that justified twice the director grant, and what compensation or related-party arrangements applied to Okamoto during his interim tenure.
The company listed IP Navigation Group as a key supplier in its 2014-03-30 filing, cited as claim #21024, alongside licensing agreements with Zhone and Siemens Technology, cited as claims #21022 and #21018, and a string of portfolio acquisitions including CyberFone, Intergraph, Delphi and TeleCommunication Systems, cited as claims #21017, #21020, #21023 and #21019. What has not been said is the consideration paid for each portfolio, the license fees received, and the revenue-share or contingency terms owed to IP Navigation Group out of litigation and licensing proceeds.
The company indicated on 2018-04-01 that its 10-K annual report filing deadline of 2018-04-15 would slip, cited as claim #16645, and on 2018-07-12 it carried NASDAQ compliance deadlines for its compensation committee and board independence, cited as claims #15466 through #15468 and #15465. What has not been said is the cause of the 10-K delay, including whether an auditor change or a restatement was involved, and the date on which the report was ultimately filed.
What we aren't being told
2026-10-07The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim #15461), following the 2018-06-28 termination and same-day director resignations (claims #15477, #15476). What has not been said is why the deal collapsed, which directors resigned and whether that was connected to the termination, and what fair value and P&L charge were recorded for the 3,000,000 shares issued.
On 2018-08-13 the company announced a cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim #15459) while also flagging substantial doubt about a 12-month cash runway (claim #15462). What has not been said is the scale of the expansion: machine count, hashrate, megawatts, where the miners are hosted, the power price per kWh, and how a company uncertain of its own runway intended to fund the capex.
On 2018-10-15 the company disclosed 2.5 million stock options for Merrick Okamoto on his appointment as Executive Chairman and CEO (claim #15385), after he had served as interim CEO since 2018-04-01 (claim #16648). It also disclosed 50,000-share grants to directors including Fred Thiel, the Compensation Committee chair (claims #15396, #15395, #15437). What has not been said is the strike price, vesting schedule, and performance conditions, what share of the 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve these grants consumed (claim #15460), and whether the compensation chair abstained from approving awards that included his own.
The company disclosed on 2018-04-01 a 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 that was missed (claim #16645), during the same period as the interim CEO arrangement (claim #16644). What has not been said is the cause of the delay: whether it reflected auditor turnover, an unresolved accounting position, or an internal-control weakness, and whether any restatement followed.
The 2014-03-30 annual disclosures list more than ten patent portfolio acquisitions, including Siemens, Delphi, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, and Mosaid (claims #21031, #21023, #21020, #21019, #21016). They also announce that patent revenue had commenced (claim #21014) and that licensing agreements were signed with Siemens and Zhone (claims #21018, #21022). What has not been said is the purchase price or revenue-share terms of each portfolio, the dollar value of each license, and the share of recoveries paid to IP Navigation Group, which is named as a key supplier (claim #21024).
What we aren't being told
2026-10-06The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that its merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated (claim #15477), and on 2018-08-13 that the break-up fee was paid in stock, 3,000,000 shares (claim #15461). What has not been said is what those shares were worth when issued, who received them, whether they carried registration rights or lock-ups, and how much dilution they caused for existing holders.
The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 that it had started generating patent revenue (claim #21014), that it held licensing agreements with Zhone and Siemens Technology (claims #21022 and #21018), and that IP Navigation Group was a key supplier (claim #21024). What has not been said is how much revenue each license produced, whether those licenses were one-time payments or recurring royalties, and what share of recoveries went to IP Navigation Group under its fee arrangement.
The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 a string of patent portfolio acquisitions from Delphi, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, CyberFone, Mosaid, Siemens, Zhone and TT IP (claims #21016 through #21036).

The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto, interim CEO since 2018-04-01 (claims #16644, #16648), was made Executive Chairman and CEO with 2.5 million options carrying change-of-control acceleration (claims #15384, #15385, #15386, #15387); what has not been said is the strike price, vesting schedule, the precise change-of-control trigger, what he was paid as interim CEO, or any related-party dealings. How do those 2.5 million options compare with the 10 million-share reserve under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (claim #15460) and with shares outstanding at the time?
The company disclosed director resignations on 2018-06-28 (claim #15476), a Nasdaq notice with a compliance-plan deadline of 2018-08-24 and a compensation-committee deadline of 2019-06-28 (claims #15466, #15467, #15468), and then regained compliance on 2018-08-21 by appointing Michael Berg, S. Michael Rudolph and Fred Thiel (claims #15435, #15436, #15437, #15438); what has not been said is how many directors left, why they left, and whether any of them raised disagreements with management. Did any departing director submit a resignation letter describing a dispute?
The company disclosed a 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 that was missed (claim #16645) during the same period an interim CEO was installed (claim #16648); what has not been said is the cause of the delay, whether it involved an auditor change or a restatement, or the actual filing date. Did the late filing reflect an accounting or internal-control problem?
The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 a string of patent portfolio acquisitions from Siemens, Delphi, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Zhone, Mosaid, CyberFone and TT IP (claims #21015 through #21036), licensing agreements with Siemens and Zhone (claims #21018, #21022), IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (claim #21024), and the start of patent revenue (claim #21014); what has not been said is the purchase price and seller revenue-share terms for each portfolio, IP Navigation's contingency percentage, or which licensees produced the first revenue. How much of each litigation recovery (claim #21025) flowed back to the original patent sellers and to IP Navigation?
What we aren't being told
2026-09-27The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 that IP Navigation Group was a key supplier, cited as claim #21024, alongside active patent enforcement litigation (claim #21025); what has not been said is what economics govern that relationship. What share of any recovery goes to IP Navigation, how is it paid, and could the company run its enforcement campaigns without it?
The company disclosed on 2014-03-30 a string of patent portfolio acquisitions from Siemens, Delphi, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Zhone, Mosaid, CyberFone and TT IP, cited as claims #21031, #21036, #21033, #21032, #21035, #21029, #21030 and #21034, together with licensing agreements with Siemens and Zhone (claims #21018 and #21022); what has not been said is the purchase price of each portfolio or whether the sellers keep a back-end revenue share. Are the Siemens and Zhone licenses a license-back of the same patents, and on what royalty terms? The same filing announced that patent revenue had begun (claim #21014) and gave an employee count (claim #21026), but neither figure is quantified in the record.
The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that its Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated, cited as claim #15477, with a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claim #15461) and director resignations on the same date (claim #15476); what has not been said is which party triggered the termination and why. Who received the break-up shares, at what value were they recorded, and did any departing director cite a disagreement with management?
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 a plan to expand cryptocurrency mining, cited as claim #15459, while also flagging uncertainty about its 12-month cash runway (claim #15462); what has not been said is how the expansion will be sized, sited or funded. How many machines and what hashrate are targeted, at which facility, with what power contract and cost per kWh, and against what cash balance and monthly burn?
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that 2.5 million unvested options carry change-of-control acceleration, cited as claim #15386, alongside director grants to Crawford, Rudolph and Berg (claims #15393, #15394 and #15395) under a 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (claim #15460); what has not been said is who holds the 2.5 million accelerating options. Interim CEO Merrick Okamoto was named on 2018-04-01 (claim #16648), but his compensation and his tenure as 'interim' remain undisclosed. Did the compensation committee under Fred Thiel (claim #15437) approve the acceleration terms, and what are the strike prices and vesting schedules?
The company disclosed on 2018-04-01 a 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15, cited as claim #16645, which is recorded as delayed; what has not been said is the cause of the delay. Was it tied to the auditor, to the CEO transition recorded the same day (claim #16644), or to an accounting issue, and was any restatement or material weakness later reported?
What we aren't being told
2026-09-27The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto received 5,000,000 stock options (claim #15389), and separately that 2,500,000 options were issued with another 2,500,000 unvested and subject to change-of-control acceleration (claims #15385, #15386). What has not been said is the strike price, the vesting schedule for the unvested tranche, or how 'change of control' is defined. It is also unclear why a single executive holds half of the 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve (claims #15460, #15373), and whether that grant was the reason Proposal No. 5 was withdrawn under Nasdaq Rule 5635(b) (claim #15372).
The company disclosed a 26,700-square-foot Quebec mining facility on 2019-06-02 and a lease through November 2022 carrying a $120,150 figure on 2019-07-01 (claims #15230, #15219, #15229). What has not been said is the facility's address, its contracted power capacity in megawatts, the electricity supplier and tariff, and whether $120,150 is a monthly, annual, or total-term amount. It is also unclear whether the 1,400 deployed mining units (claim #15220) all sit at that site, and what their model and aggregate hashrate are.
The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 and 2018-08-13 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claims #15477, #15461), on the same date that directors resigned (claim #15476). What has not been said is who received those shares, what value the company assigned to them, and whether any of the resigning directors were affiliated with Global Bit Ventures.
The company disclosed on 2019-07-01 a $250,000 cryptocurrency patent acquisition from XpresSpa Group alongside a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claims #15218, #15223). What has not been said is who holds the remaining interest in that entity, how the waterfall is structured, and whether any director or officer has a relationship with XpresSpa Group that would make this a related-party transaction.
The company disclosed a 12-month cash runway uncertainty on 2018-08-13 (claim #15462), then asserted operating cash sufficiency for twelve months on 2019-07-31 (claim #15197). In between, it set up a $7,472,417 at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright at a 3% commission (claims #15202, #15203, #15204, #15228). What has not been said is how much of the ATM has actually been drawn, at what average price, and what the monthly cash burn is. With only three full-time employees (claim #15222), the company has also not named the outside providers handling financial operations and 24-hour security (claims #15200, #15199), or what it pays them.
The company disclosed a string of Nasdaq compliance deadlines in 2018 and 2019, including the $1.00 minimum bid, minimum equity, and board-independence requirements (claims #15466, #15467, #15383, #15244, #15196), and obtained shareholder authorization for a reverse stock split by 2018-12-31 (claim #15332). What has not been said is the approved split ratio, whether the split was executed and when, and whether Nasdaq has formally confirmed that each deficiency was cured.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-27The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto received stock options on 5,000,000 shares (claim #15389), and separately that 2.5 million options were issued to the CEO (claim #15385) and 2.5 million unvested options carry change-of-control acceleration (claim #15386). What has not been said is the strike price, the vesting schedule for the unaccelerated tranche, and whether any compensation was paid for the roughly six months he served as interim CEO from 2018-04-01 (claims #16644, #16648). What change-of-control trigger releases the second 2.5 million, and how does the full grant compare with the 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve (claims #15460, #15373)?
The company disclosed on 2019-07-01 a Quebec data center lease through November 2022 at 120,150 USD (claim #15219), a 26,700 square foot facility (claim #15230), and 1,400 deployed Bitcoin mining units (claim #15220). What has not been said is whether 120,150 USD is a monthly, annual, or total-term figure, who the landlord or hosting provider is, and the facility's power allocation in megawatts. Nor has the company given the machine model, aggregate hashrate, or electricity rate. What is the contracted power capacity at the site, and at what cost per kilowatt-hour?
The company disclosed on 2019-07-01 that it bought a cryptocurrency patent from XpresSpa Group for 250,000 USD (claim #15218) together with a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim #15223). What has not been said is who holds the remaining 70%, what the SPE is called, where the company sits in the waterfall's priority, and whether any enforcement or licensing actions have been filed. Has the SPE returned any recoveries against the 250,000 USD outlay?
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a break-up fee paid in 3,000,000 shares (claims #15461, #15477). On the termination date of 2018-06-28, directors also resigned (claim #15476). What has not been said is which party terminated and why, whether the 3,000,000 shares were actually issued and at what value, and which directors resigned and whether their departures were connected to the deal. Were any of the resigning directors affiliated with Global Bit Ventures?
The company disclosed on 2019-07-18 an at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright capped at 7,472,417 USD, with a 3% commission (claims #15202, #15203, #15204). This came alongside repeated doubt about a twelve-month cash runway (claims #15462, #15197). What has not been said is how much of the ATM had been sold as of each subsequent quarter, at what average price, and what the monthly cash burn was against the cash on hand. How many months of operations did the ATM proceeds actually fund?
The company disclosed on 2019-07-31 two service arrangements, 24-hour security services (claim #15199) and outsourced financial operations management (claim #15200), while reporting only three full-time employees (claim #15222). What has not been said is who the counterparties are, what the contracts cost, and whether any of them are related parties to management or directors. Who performs the company's finance function, and how is that provider compensated?
What we aren't being told
2026-09-26The company disclosed Merrick Okamoto's appointment as Executive Chairman and CEO on 2018-10-15 with a $350,000 base salary, cited as claims #15387 and #15388. That same filing puts the CEO's option grant at 2.5 million shares in claim #15385 and 5 million shares in claim #15389, and separately cites 2.5 million unvested options carrying change-of-control acceleration in claim #15386. What has not been said is how these figures reconcile: is the total 5 million with half unvested, or two separate 2.5 million tranches? At what strike price, and on what vesting schedule? And how does the grant fit within the 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve cited in claims #15460 and #15373?
The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated and that directors resigned, cited as claims #15477 and #15476. It later cited a 3,000,000-share break-up fee in claim #15461. What has not been said is who received those shares and at what value they were recorded. Nor has it said why the deal was terminated, or whether the resigning directors had any affiliation with Global Bit Ventures.
The company disclosed a 26,700-square-foot Quebec mining facility on 2019-06-02 and a lease running through November 2022 at $120,150 on 2019-07-01, cited as claims #15230, #15229 and #15219. What has not been said is whether $120,150 is a monthly, annual or total-term figure. The company has also not given the site's contracted power capacity in megawatts, its electricity rate, or its utility interconnection terms, even though mining economics depend on them. Beyond the Granby reference in claim #15198, the facility's physical address is also unstated.
The company disclosed on 2019-07-31 that bitcoin mining at the Granby facility, 24-hour security and financial operations management were handled through partnerships, cited as claims #15198, #15199 and #15200. The company also reported only three full-time employees on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15222. What has not been said is who these counterparties are, what they are paid, and whether any of them are related parties. With so small a staff, those operating agreements effectively run the business.
The company disclosed a deployment of 1,400 bitcoin mining units on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15220. What has not been said is the miner model, the aggregate hashrate in TH/s or PH/s, how many units are actually hashing versus merely installed, and what the fleet cost. Without those figures the 1,400 count cannot be turned into expected revenue.
The company disclosed a $250,000 purchase of cryptocurrency patents from XpresSpa Group and a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity on 2019-07-01, cited as claims #15218 and #15223. It also disclosed a $7,472,417 at-the-market program with H.C.

What has not been said is who holds the other 70% of the patent entity and whether that holder is related to management. The company also has not said how much of the ATM capacity has been drawn to date, or at what average price.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-26The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated, cited as claim #15477, and on 2018-08-13 described a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares, cited as claim #15461. What has not been said is who received those shares, what they were worth at issuance, whether they were ever actually issued given the fee's delayed status, and why the deal fell apart. Did the termination coincide with the director resignations disclosed the same day, cited as claim #15476, whose names and reasons were also not given?
The company disclosed Merrick Okamoto's CEO compensation on 2018-10-15, citing 2,500,000 options in claim #15385, 5,000,000 options in claim #15389, and 2,500,000 unvested options with change-of-control acceleration in claim #15386. What has not been said is how these figures reconcile. Is the grant 5,000,000 split evenly between vested and unvested tranches, or 2,500,000 total? What are the strike price, the vesting schedule, and the triggers that would accelerate the unvested half? The same filing combines the CEO and Chairman roles, cited as claims #15384 and #15387, so which independent body approved an award of this size relative to a $350,000 base salary, cited as claim #15388?
The company disclosed a 26,700-square-foot Quebec mining facility on 2019-06-02, cited as claim #15230, and a lease running through November 2022 at a figure of $120,150, cited as claim #15219. What has not been said is whether that $120,150 is monthly, annual, or the total lease cost. The filings also give no street address, no landlord name, no contracted power capacity in megawatts, and no Hydro-Québec rate or interconnection terms. How much of the 1,400 deployed mining units, cited as claim #15220, sit at this site, and what model and aggregate hashrate do they represent?
The company disclosed service partnerships for 24-hour security and for financial operations management on 2019-07-31, cited as claims #15199 and #15200. What has not been said is who the counterparties are, what they are paid, and whether any of them is related to management or directors. This matters for a company reporting only 3 full-time employees, cited as claim #15222: how much of its operations are outsourced to these unnamed providers?
The company disclosed a $250,000 patent acquisition from XpresSpa Group and a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity on 2019-07-01, cited as claims #15218 and #15223. What has not been said is the name of the SPE, who holds the remaining 70%, and how the waterfall ranks Marathon against other holders. Has the portfolio produced any licensing or litigation proceeds so far?
The company disclosed a string of Nasdaq compliance deadlines between 2018 and 2019, cited as claims #15467, #15383, #15244, and #15196. It also disclosed a reverse split authorization, cited as claim #15332, and a $7,472,417 at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright, cited as claims #15202 and #15203. What has not been said is whether the reverse split was carried out and at what ratio, and how much of the ATM capacity has been sold and at what average price. Given the recurring going-concern language, cited as claims #15462 and #15197, how many months of cash runway does management actually project?
What we aren't being told
2026-09-26The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that its merger with Global Bit Ventures was terminated (claim #15477), and on 2018-08-13 described a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim #15461); what has not been said is who received those shares, how they were valued at issuance, and whether the fee was ever fully settled, given the claim still carries a delayed status.
The company disclosed a 26,700-square-foot Quebec mining facility on 2019-06-02 (claim #15230), a data center lease there through November 2022 at 120,150 USD on 2019-07-01 (claim #15219), 1,400 deployed mining units (claim #15220), and Bitcoin mining at a Granby facility described as a partnership on 2019-07-31 (claim #15198). What has not been said is whether the 120,150 USD is a monthly, annual, or total-term figure, who the landlord and hosting partner are, what contracted power capacity in megawatts and utility rate back the site, and what model and aggregate hashrate the 1,400 machines represent.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto became Executive Chairman and CEO at a 350,000 USD base salary (claims #15387 and #15388). The same filing references 2.5 million options issued (claim #15385), 2.5 million unvested options with change-of-control acceleration (claim #15386), and a 5,000,000-share option figure (claim #15389). What has not been said is how these figures reconcile, what the strike prices and vesting schedules are, and what share price or transaction value would trigger the acceleration.
The company disclosed on 2019-07-01 a 250,000 USD cryptocurrency patent acquisition from XpresSpa Group (claim #15218) and a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim #15223). What has not been said is who holds the remaining 70% of that entity, how the waterfall is ordered, and whether any officer or director has a relationship with the seller or the SPE that would make this a related-party transaction.
The company disclosed on 2019-07-18 an at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright sized at 7,472,417 USD at a 3% commission (claims #15202, #15203 and #15204). It also flagged twelve-month cash runway uncertainty in 2018 and 2019 (claims #15462 and #15197) and reported only three full-time employees (claim #15222). What has not been said is how much of the ATM was actually drawn, at what average price, and how many months of operating and power costs the proceeds covered.
The company disclosed a string of Nasdaq compliance deadlines between 2018 and 2019, all now marked delayed (claims #15466, #15467, #15383, #15244 and #15196), alongside a reverse stock split authorization due by 2018-12-31 (claim #15332). What has not been said is whether the reverse split was executed and at what ratio, and which deficiencies, whether minimum bid, stockholders' equity, or committee composition, were formally cured versus extended. The company also disclosed a 'financial operations management' partnership on 2019-07-31 (claim #15200) without naming the counterparty or the fee terms.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-26The company disclosed a Quebec mining facility of 26,700 square feet on 2019-06-02 (claim #15230), a data center lease through November 2022 carrying a figure of $120,150 on 2019-07-01 (claim #15219), a deployment of 1,400 mining units (claim #15220), and Bitcoin mining at a Granby facility on 2019-07-31 (claim #15198). What has not been said is whether the $120,150 is a monthly, annual or total lease commitment, who the landlord or hosting counterparty is, and what contracted power capacity in megawatts and utility rate back the site. Nor has the company given the model, hashrate or ownership status of the 1,400 machines, so how much capacity is actually being leased?
The company disclosed the termination of the Global Bit Ventures merger with a 3,000,000-share break-up fee on 2018-08-13 (claims #15461 and #15477), and on the same 2018-06-28 date it disclosed that directors had resigned (claim #15476). What has not been said is whether those shares were ever issued, which named holders received them, what fair value was booked, and whether the director resignations were connected to the failed deal. Who were the departing directors, and did they have any relationship with Global Bit Ventures?
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto received 2.5 million options with change-of-control acceleration (claims #15385 and #15386), and in the same filing cited 5,000,000 options for him (claim #15389), alongside a $350,000 base salary (claim #15388). The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserves 10,000,000 shares (claims #15460 and #15373). What has not been said is whether 5 million is the total grant and 2.5 million the unvested tranche, or whether these are separate awards, and what the strike prices and vesting triggers are. It is also unclear how much of the 10-million-share reserve the October 2018 grants to Okamoto, Lieberman, Crawford and the three new directors consumed (claims #15392 through #15396).
The company disclosed on 2018-11-13 that it withdrew Proposal No. 5 because of NASDAQ Rule 5635(b) (claim #15372), a rule that governs issuances resulting in a change of control. On 2018-12-11 it also sought approval for non-public issuances above 20 percent (claim #15333). What has not been said is which investor or related party would have crossed the change-of-control threshold under the withdrawn proposal, and on what terms the replacement 20-percent issuance was placed and to whom.

What has not been said is whether those shares were actually issued, to which GBV holders, at what per-share value they were recorded, and how the charge flowed through the income statement.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto was named Executive Chairman and CEO at a $350,000 base salary (claims #15387, #15388).

What has not been said is how those figures reconcile, along with the strike price, vesting schedule and grant-date fair value. A related open question is what Proposal No. 5, withdrawn on 2018-11-13 over Nasdaq Rule 5635(b) change-of-control concerns (claim #15372), would have done and which investor it would have benefited.
The company disclosed on 2019-07-01 a Quebec data center lease through November 2022 tied to a figure of $120,150 (claim #15219), a 26,700 square foot facility (claim #15230), and 1,400 bitcoin miners deployed (claim #15220). What has not been said is whether $120,150 is a monthly, annual or total-term figure. The filings also omit the miner model, the aggregate hashrate, the contracted power in megawatts and the electricity rate or utility counterparty.
The company disclosed on 2019-07-31 that bitcoin mining at the Granby facility, 24-hour security, and financial operations management are all handled through partnerships (claims #15198, #15199, #15200), while reporting only three full-time employees (claim #15222). What has not been said is who these counterparties are, what they are paid, and whether any of them is related to management or directors.
The company disclosed on 2019-07-01 that it bought cryptocurrency patents from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim #15218) and holds a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim #15223). What has not been said is the name of that entity and who holds the other 70%. The company also has not described the waterfall terms or said whether any licensing or enforcement revenue has been realized.
The company disclosed twelve-month cash runway uncertainty on 2018-08-13 and again on 2019-07-31 (claims #15462, #15197). It also disclosed a $7,472,417 at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright at a 3% commission (claims #15202, #15203, #15204), a reverse split authorization (claim #15332) and approval for a non-public issuance above the 20% threshold (claim #15333). What has not been said is how much of the ATM has been drawn and at what average price. The filings also leave out the reverse split ratio actually applied and the identity and pricing of the non-public issuance counterparty. Note that the record provided ends mid-entry at claim #15196, so later disclosures may close some of these gaps.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-23The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated, cited as claim #15477, and on 2018-08-13 described a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares, cited as claim #15461. What has not been said is which party paid the fee, whether the shares were actually issued, and what value per share was used to book the fee.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto received 5,000,000 stock options, cited as claim #15389. It separately disclosed 2,500,000 options issued and 2,500,000 unvested options with change-of-control acceleration, cited as claims #15385 and #15386. What has not been said is the strike price, the vesting schedule, and the grant-date fair value. A reader would also want to know why half of the 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve, cited as claims #15460 and #15373, went to a single executive.
The company disclosed on 2018-11-13 that Proposal No. 5 was withdrawn to comply with NASDAQ Rule 5635(b), cited as claim #15372. It disclosed on 2018-12-11 that shareholders approved a non-public issuance above the 20 percent threshold, cited as claim #15333. What has not been said is who the intended investor or acquirer was, and how much ownership or control that party would have gained.
The company disclosed on 2019-07-01 a Quebec data center lease through November 2022 at 120,150 USD, cited as claim #15219. On 2019-06-02 it gave a facility size of 26,700 square feet, cited as claim #15230, and it disclosed 1,400 mining units deployed, cited as claim #15220. What has not been said is whether the lease figure is monthly, annual, or the total for the term. The filings also omit the site's contracted power capacity in megawatts, the utility rate or interconnection arrangement, and the machine models and aggregate hashrate behind the 1,400 units.
The company disclosed on 2019-07-31 partnerships covering Bitcoin mining operations at the Granby facility, 24-hour security, and financial operations management, cited as claims #15198, #15199 and #15200. What has not been said is who those counterparties are, what they are paid, and whether any of them are related parties. This matters because the company reported only three full-time employees on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15222.
The company disclosed on 2019-07-01 a 250,000 USD patent acquisition from XpresSpa Group and a 30 percent waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity, cited as claims #15218 and #15223. It also flagged 12-month cash-runway uncertainty on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15462, and set up a 7,472,417 USD at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright on 2019-07-18, cited as claims #15202 and #15203. What has not been said is who holds the other 70 percent of the patent entity and how the waterfall is ordered. The filings also do not say how much of the ATM had been drawn, at what average price, or how many months of runway that capital actually buys.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-23The company disclosed on 2019-07-31 that Bitcoin mining at its Granby facility is run through a partnership that also covers 24-hour security and financial operations management, cited as claims #15198, #15199 and #15200. What has not been said is who that operator is, how it is paid (a fixed fee, a share of mined coin, or a markup on power), and whether it has any relationship with management. This matters because the company reported only three full-time employees on 2019-07-01 (claim #15222).
The company disclosed on 2019-06-02 and 2019-07-01 a 26,700-square-foot Quebec data center leased through November 2022 at a cost of $120,150, cited as claims #15230, #15229 and #15219. What has not been said is whether $120,150 is a monthly, annual, or total-term figure. The company also has not named the landlord, given the facility's power capacity in megawatts, or said anything about the Hydro-Québec tariff or interconnection that governs its electricity cost.
The company disclosed on 2019-07-01 the deployment of 1,400 Bitcoin mining units, cited as claim #15220. What has not been said is the machine model, the total hashrate in TH/s, the power draw, or the cost and financing of the fleet. A first-year analyst would need those numbers to test the Ether mining plans in claim #15231 and the cash-runway uncertainty flagged on 2018-08-13 in claim #15462.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 a 5,000,000-share option grant to Merrick Okamoto, split into 2.5 million issued and 2.5 million unvested with change-of-control acceleration, cited as claims #15389, #15385 and #15386. That grant alone equals half of the 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve in claims #15460 and #15373. What has not been said is the strike price, the vesting schedule, and the change-of-control definition, or why Proposal No. 5 was withdrawn on 2018-11-13 over NASDAQ Rule 5635(b) (claim #15372).
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares, and on 2018-06-28 that directors resigned, cited as claims #15461, #15477 and #15476. What has not been said is who received the shares, the value placed on them, which directors left, and whether the resignations were tied to the failed deal.
The company disclosed on 2018-12-11 shareholder approval for a reverse stock split and a non-public issuance of up to 20 percent, cited as claims #15332 and #15333. On 2019-07-01 it disclosed a $250,000 patent purchase from XpresSpa Group carrying a 30 percent waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity, cited as claims #15218 and #15223. What has not been said is the split ratio, the identity and pricing of the private-placement investors, the name of the SPE, and who holds the other 70 percent of its waterfall.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-22Marathon disclosed a Quebec mining facility measured at 26,700 square feet on 2019-06-02, cited as claim #15230, and a data center lease running through November 2022 carrying a figure of $120,150 on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15219; what has not been said is any power number at all — no contracted megawatts, no Hydro-Quebec interconnection or energization status, no rate per kilowatt-hour, and no street address for the Granby site — nor whether the $120,150 is monthly rent, annual rent, or the aggregate obligation over the full lease term. Square footage is not capacity, and a reader cannot convert one into the other.
The company disclosed deployment of 1,400 bitcoin mining units on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15220, alongside mining operations at the Granby facility on 2019-07-31, cited as claim #15198; what has not been said is the machine model, the per-unit and aggregate hashrate, the power draw implied by those 1,400 units, how many were actually energized and hashing versus merely delivered, and how that fleet reconciles against the 26,700 square feet in claim #15230. A first-year analyst's first question on the next call is simply: what is total installed and operating terahash, and on what date did it reach that level?
The company disclosed a partnership for 24-hour security services and one for financial operations management, both on 2019-07-31, cited as claims #15199 and #15200, and mining operations at Granby under a partnership structure, cited as claim #15198; what has not been said is who any of these counterparties are, what they are paid, whether the arrangements are fixed-fee or revenue-share, their termination provisions, or whether any counterparty is an affiliate of a director or officer. Announcing an operating dependency while withholding the name of the operator leaves the reader unable to assess concentration or related-party risk.
The company disclosed acquiring a cryptocurrency patent from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15218, and a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity on the same date, cited as claim #15223; what has not been said is who holds the other 70% of the SPE, where 30% sits in the waterfall and behind what preferred return or litigation-funding recovery, what enforcement or contingency-fee obligations Marathon bears, and what board, officer, or shareholder overlap existed between Marathon and XpresSpa Group at the time the $250,000 price was set. A purchase price from a counterparty with potential affiliation, paired with an unexplained residual interest, is precisely the fact pattern that requires related-party framing.
The company disclosed, all on 2018-10-15, a $350,000 base salary and 5,000,000 options for Merrick Okamoto (claims #15388 and #15389), a separate 2.5 million option grant to the CEO (claim #15385), 2.5 million unvested options carrying change-of-control acceleration (claim #15386), a $180,000 salary and 200,000 options for CFO David Lieberman (claims #15391 and #15392), and director grants of 50,000 to 100,000 shares each (claims #15393 through #15396) — against a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve of 10,000,000 shares (claims #15460 and #15373) and a company that reported three full-time employees on 2019-07-01 (claim #15222). What has not been said is the exercise price, vesting schedule, and grant-date fair value of any of these awards, whether claims #15385, #15386 and #15389 describe overlapping tranches of a single package or genuinely additive grants, what percentage of fully diluted shares the total represents, and how a reserve of that size is justified against a three-person payroll.
The company disclosed a shelf registration of $7,472,417 on 2019-06-02 and again on 2019-07-01, cited as claims #15228 and #15217, an At The Market program of the identical $7,472,417 with H.C. Wainwright at a 3% commission on 2019-07-18, cited as claims #15203, #15202 and #15204, and separately flagged 12-month cash runway uncertainty on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15462; what has not been said is how much of that capacity has actually been drawn, at what average price, how many shares were issued, and how the proceeds map to the equipment and lease commitments in claims #15220 and #15219. Related and still open: the reverse stock split authorized on 2018-12-11, cited as claim #15332, was disclosed without a ratio or an effective date even though the $1.00 Nasdaq minimum bid price deadline of 2019-04-15, cited as claim #15383, has since passed.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-22The company disclosed a 26,700 square foot mining facility in Quebec on 2019-06-02, cited as claim #15230, with a lease running through November 2022 at a figure of $120,150 disclosed on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15219, and operations described as being at a "Granby facility" in claim #15198. What has not been said is whether $120,150 is a monthly, annual, or aggregate lease obligation, what the contracted electrical capacity of the site is in megawatts, what the all-in power price per kilowatt-hour is under the Hydro-Québec arrangement, and whether the interconnection is firm or interruptible — square footage is not capacity, and for a miner the megawatt and power-price figures are the only ones that determine unit economics.
The company disclosed deployment of 1,400 units of bitcoin mining equipment on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15220, alongside a three-person full-time headcount in claim #15222. What has not been said is the make and model of the machines, aggregate hashrate in petahashes per second, efficiency in joules per terahash, the capitalized cost of the fleet, and critically whether all 1,400 units were energized and hashing at the Granby site as of that date or merely purchased and in transit — and how a three-employee organization is staffing a facility of that size, i.e. whether operations are self-run or outsourced to a third-party operator whose name and fee structure have not been identified.
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency patent acquisition from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15218, together with a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity, cited as claim #15223. What has not been said is whether any Marathon officer or director held a concurrent board seat, executive role, or equity position at XpresSpa Group at the time of the transaction, whether the $250,000 price was supported by an independent valuation or approved by disinterested directors, who holds the remaining 70% of the SPE, and where in the waterfall Marathon's 30% sits relative to litigation-funding and counsel recoveries.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto received a $350,000 base salary, cited as claim #15388, plus 5,000,000 stock options, cited as claim #15389, and a separate 2,500,000-option grant, cited as claim #15385, of which 2,500,000 unvested options accelerate on a change of control, cited as claim #15386 — against a CFO package of $180,000 and 200,000 options, cited as claims #15391 and #15392, and director grants of 50,000 to 100,000 options in claims #15393 through #15396. What has not been said is the exercise price, vesting schedule, and grant-date fair value of any of these awards, whether the 5,000,000 and 2,500,000 figures are cumulative or overlapping descriptions of the same grant, and what percentage of fully diluted shares outstanding the CEO's awards represent — a question sharpened by the fact that the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserved only 10,000,000 shares in total, cited as claims #15460 and #15373.
The company disclosed termination of the Global Bit Ventures merger on 2018-06-28, cited as claim #15477, with a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares, cited as claim #15461, and simultaneous director resignations, cited as claim #15476. What has not been said is who received the 3,000,000 shares and at what deemed value, whether the resigning directors were GBV affiliates or designees, whether any of them or their affiliates were counterparties to the break-up fee, and what diligence finding or financing failure actually caused a signed merger to be unwound.
The company disclosed an At The Market program and shelf registration sized at exactly $7,472,417 on three separate occasions — claims #15228, #15217, and #15203 — with a 3% agent commission to H.C. Wainwright, cited as claim #15204, while simultaneously flagging twelve-month cash runway uncertainty in claims #15462 and #15197 and seeking authority to issue over 20% of shares non-publicly in claim #15333 and a reverse stock split in claim #15332. What has not been said is the public float calculation underlying that unusually precise cap and whether it reflects the one-third baby-shelf limitation, how much of the $7.47 million had actually been drawn as of each disclosure, the average price and share count issued to date, and what month-end cash balance and monthly operating burn the going-concern language in claim #15197 is measured against.
The company disclosed regaining Nasdaq compliance on 2018-08-21, cited as claim #15438, after a sequence of compliance-plan and director-appointment deadlines in claims #15465 through #15468, then disclosed a fresh listing rule violation on 2019-05-23, cited as claim #15243, a new plan deadline in claim #15244, a minimum stockholders' equity filing obligation in claim #15196, and a separate $1.00 minimum bid price deadline in claim #15383. What has not been said is the actual stockholders' equity figure versus the applicable threshold, the specific rule cited in the 2019 notice as distinct from the 2018 notices, and what closing bid price the stock held when the reverse split authorization in claim #15332 lapsed past its 2018-12-31 target without a disclosed ratio or effective date.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-21The company disclosed a 26,700 square foot Quebec mining facility leased through November 2022 on 2019-06-02 and 2019-07-01, cited as claims #15230, #15229 and #15219, with a figure of $120,150 attached to the lease and 1,400 mining units deployed under claim #15220; what has not been said is the street address of the Granby site, whether $120,150 is monthly, annual or aggregate rent, what interconnected power capacity in megawatts the site holds, what the all-in power price per kilowatt-hour is, and what aggregate hashrate those 1,400 machines represent — so on what basis should a reader model the facility's cost per terahash?
The company disclosed mining operations and 24-hour security services at the Granby facility on 2019-07-31, cited as claims #15198 and #15199, and separately disclosed a total of three full-time employees on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15222; what has not been said is who the counterparties to those operating and security arrangements are, whether they are hosting providers, affiliates of the landlord, or related parties, and what the contracted fees and termination rights are — who actually runs a 1,400-machine site that the issuer staffs with three people?
The company disclosed the acquisition of cryptocurrency patents from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15218, together with a 30 percent waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity, cited as claim #15223; what has not been said is whether overlapping officers or directors sat on both sides of that transaction, whether the price was supported by an independent valuation or a disinterested board vote, who holds the other 70 percent of the SPE, and what the waterfall's priority tiers and expense-recovery thresholds are before Marathon sees a dollar — was this an arm's-length purchase or a related-party transfer?
The company disclosed compensation for Merrick Okamoto on 2018-10-15 comprising a $350,000 base salary and option grants cited as claims #15388, #15389, #15385 and #15386, totaling as recorded 5,000,000 shares plus a separately described 2,500,000-share CEO grant and 2,500,000 unvested options carrying change-of-control acceleration, alongside a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve of 10,000,000 shares cited as claims #15460 and #15373; what has not been said is whether the 5,000,000 figure subsumes or sits on top of the 2,500,000 grants, what the exercise prices, vesting schedules and grant-date fair values are, and what percentage of the plan pool and of shares outstanding went to one executive in a single day — is the CEO's grant one award or three?
The company disclosed termination of the Global Bit Ventures merger on 2018-06-28, cited as claim #15477, alongside director resignations the same day, cited as claim #15476, and then disclosed on 2018-08-13 a 3,000,000-share break-up fee tied to that termination, cited as claim #15461; what has not been said is the dollar value ascribed to those shares, whether they were actually issued and when, who the recipients were, and whether any resigning director or their affiliates held an interest in GBV or received any portion of the fee — why did the fee surface six weeks after the termination was announced?
The company disclosed a shareholder-authorized reverse stock split on 2018-12-11 with a stated deadline of 2018-12-31, cited as claim #15332, against a Nasdaq minimum bid price deficiency due 2019-04-15, cited as claim #15383, a regained-compliance announcement on 2018-08-21, cited as claim #15438, a fresh listing violation on 2019-05-23, cited as claims #15243 and #15244, and a minimum stockholders' equity filing deadline of 2019-11-13, cited as claim #15196; what has not been said is the split ratio, whether it was ever effected and on what date, and which specific listing standard the 2019 deficiency concerns — how many separate Nasdaq deficiencies were open simultaneously, and what is the current stockholders' equity shortfall in dollars?
The company disclosed an At The Market program of exactly $7,472,417 with H.C. Wainwright on 2019-07-18 at a 3 percent commission plus $25,000 of counsel expenses, cited as claims #15203, #15202, #15204, #15205 and #15217, while separately flagging twelve-month cash sufficiency uncertainty on 2018-08-13 and 2019-07-31, cited as claims #15462 and #15197; what has not been said is the cash balance and monthly operating burn underlying the going-concern language, how much of the ATM had been sold and at what average price as of each filing, whether the oddly precise ceiling reflects a baby-shelf General Instruction I.B.6 limit that shrinks with the stock, and at what bitcoin price the 1,400 deployed machines cover cash costs — how many months of runway does the ATM actually buy?
What we aren't being told
2026-09-21The company disclosed on 2019-07-01 that it acquired cryptocurrency patents from XpresSpa Group for $250,000, cited as claim #15218, and simultaneously disclosed a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity, cited as claim #15223. What has not been said is who holds the other 70% of that SPE, whether any Marathon director or officer had a concurrent economic or board relationship with XpresSpa Group at the time of the purchase, and what the waterfall tiers actually are — at what recovery level does Marathon's 30% begin to pay, and were any related-party approvals or fairness procedures used to set the $250,000 price?
The company disclosed a Quebec mining facility of 26,700 square feet on 2019-06-02, cited as claim #15230, with a lease running through November 2022 tied to a figure of $120,150, cited as claims #15219 and #15229, and separately disclosed the deployment of 1,400 bitcoin mining units on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15220. What has not been said is whether $120,150 is monthly, annual, or the aggregate lease obligation; what the contracted power capacity in megawatts is; the name of the utility or interconnection counterparty and the all-in energy rate per kilowatt-hour; and the model, aggregate hashrate, and energy draw of those 1,400 units — so how many megawatts and what petahash does 26,700 square feet in Granby actually support?
The company disclosed bitcoin mining operations at the Granby facility together with 24-hour security services and financial operations management on 2019-07-31, cited as claims #15198, #15199 and #15200, while disclosing a total of three full-time employees on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15222. What has not been said is the identity of the counterparty performing hosting, security, and operational management, the fee structure of that arrangement, and its term and termination rights — who actually runs the site, and what does Marathon pay them per month or per megawatt?
The company disclosed an At The Market program with H.C. Wainwright on 2019-07-18 with a capacity of $7,472,417, cited as claims #15202, #15203 and #15217, a 3% sales agent commission, cited as claim #15204, and a $25,000 legal reimbursement, cited as claim #15205, the same capacity figure having first appeared in the 2019-06-02 shelf disclosure, cited as claim #15228. What has not been said is whether that oddly precise ceiling reflects the one-third public-float cap for smaller issuers, how much had actually been sold as of each reporting date, at what weighted-average price, and how many shares that represents against shares outstanding — what is the realized dilution to date and how much headroom remains if the float shrinks?
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 a $350,000 base salary for Merrick Okamoto, cited as claim #15388, together with option grants of 5,000,000 shares, cited as claim #15389, 2,500,000 shares, cited as claim #15385, and 2,500,000 unvested options carrying change-of-control acceleration, cited as claim #15386, alongside grants to David Lieberman, James Crawford, and the three new directors, cited as claims #15392, #15393, #15394, #15395 and #15396 — all against a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve of 10,000,000 shares, cited as claims #15460 and #15373. What has not been said is whether these option figures are distinct grants or overlapping descriptions of the same award, their exercise prices, vesting schedules, and grant-date fair values, and how much of the 10,000,000 share pool remained available after them — what percentage of fully diluted shares did insiders hold in options at year-end 2018?
The company disclosed the termination of the Global Bit Ventures merger on 2018-06-28, cited as claim #15477, the resignation of directors on the same date, cited as claim #15476, and later characterized the termination as carrying a 3,000,000 share break-up fee on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15461. What has not been said is who received those 3,000,000 shares, the value recorded for them, why the deal was abandoned after diligence, and whether the director resignations on that same day were connected to the termination — did any departing director or affiliate receive any portion of the break-up consideration?
The company disclosed a going-concern style 12-month cash runway uncertainty on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15462, and a cascade of Nasdaq deficiencies including the $1.00 minimum bid price deadline of 2019-04-15, cited as claim #15383, a reverse stock split authorization due by 2018-12-31 that is recorded as delayed, cited as claim #15332, and a stockholders' equity deficiency with plan deadlines in 2019, cited as claims #15243, #15244 and #15196. What has not been said is the cash balance and monthly burn rate underlying the runway warning, the dollar amount by which stockholders' equity fell short of the Nasdaq minimum, and whether the authorized reverse split was ever effected and at what ratio — what is the quarterly cash burn, and what equity shortfall must the ATM close to cure the listing deficiency?
What we aren't being told
2026-09-21The company disclosed a 26,700 square foot mining facility in Quebec on 2019-06-02, cited as claim #15230, alongside a lease running through November 2022 carrying a figure of $120,150 on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15219, and bitcoin mining at a "Granby facility" on 2019-07-31, cited as claim #15198; what has not been said is the megawatt capacity of that site, the contracted power rate per kWh, the street address and utility interconnection point, and whether $120,150 is monthly, annual, or the aggregate rent over the full 41-month term. Square footage is not a capacity unit for a mining operation — what is the energized load, and what is the escalator on the power contract?
The company disclosed deployment of 1,400 units of bitcoin mining equipment on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15220, while simultaneously disclosing a full-time headcount of three employees on the same date, cited as claim #15222; what has not been said is the make and model of those machines, the aggregate hashrate in PH/s or EH/s, how many of the 1,400 were actually energized and hashing as of the filing date versus purchased or in transit, and the identity of the third party that must be operating and maintaining the site, because three full-time employees cannot. Is there a hosting or O&M counterparty at Granby, what does it charge, and why has its name been withheld?
The company disclosed a shelf registration figure of $7,472,417 on 2019-06-02, cited as claim #15228, repeated the identical figure on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15217, and again as At-The-Market program capacity on 2019-07-18 with H.C. Wainwright as agent at a 3.0 percent commission, cited as claims #15203, #15202 and #15204; what has not been said is whether that number is original shelf capacity or remaining availability net of prior sales, how many dollars and shares were actually sold under the ATM in each subsequent quarter, and the weighted-average issuance price. The same figure appearing unchanged across three dates raises the question of whether it was ever drawn at all, or whether the disclosure simply was not updated.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto was appointed Executive Chairman and CEO at a base salary of $350,000 with 5,000,000 stock options, cited as claims #15387, #15388 and #15389, and separately disclosed 2,500,000 options issued to the CEO and 2,500,000 unvested options carrying change-of-control acceleration, cited as claims #15385 and #15386; what has not been said is whether the 2.5 million grants are a subset of the 5 million or incremental to it, the exercise price and grant-date fair value of each tranche, the vesting schedule, and the strike price relative to the then-prevailing market price. Given that the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve of 10,000,000 shares is disclosed twice, on 2018-08-13 and 2018-11-12, cited as claims #15460 and #15373, is that one pool or two, and what percentage of shares outstanding did the CEO's grants alone represent on a fully diluted basis?
The company disclosed acquisition of a cryptocurrency patent from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15218, and a 30 percent waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity on the same date, cited as claim #15223; what has not been said is whether any officer, director, or significant shareholder of the company held a concurrent interest in XpresSpa Group or in the SPE, who holds the other 70 percent of the waterfall, what the SPE's litigation or licensing strategy is, and how the $250,000 price was determined or whether an independent valuation or audit committee approval was obtained. A transaction between two small-cap companies with a shared promoter orbit is precisely where related-party context is expected and here absent.
The company disclosed termination of the Global Bit Ventures merger on 2018-06-28, cited as claim #15477, with a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares disclosed on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15461, and disclosed on the same June date that directors had resigned, cited as claim #15476; what has not been said is who received those 3,000,000 shares, whether any recipient was a departing director or an affiliate of one, the dollar value recorded for the fee, and whether the resignations and the termination were causally linked. Which directors resigned, and was the break-up consideration ever actually issued?
The company disclosed a Nasdaq minimum bid price compliance deadline of $1.00 by 2019-04-15 on 2018-10-21, cited as claim #15383, and a reverse stock split authorization due by 2018-12-31 on 2018-12-11, cited as claim #15332, both of which remain in delayed status; what has not been said is whether the reverse split was ever executed, at what ratio, on what effective date, and how compliance with the bid price rule was ultimately resolved. The record shows four separate Nasdaq deficiency and compliance-plan deadlines across 2018 and 2019, cited as claims #15466, #15467, #15196 and #15244, all still carrying delayed status — what is the current listing status, and what remains outstanding?
What we aren't being told
2026-09-20The company disclosed a Quebec mining facility of 26,700 square feet on 2019-06-02, cited as claim #15230, alongside a lease running to November 2022 at $120,150 on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15219, and a deployment of 1,400 bitcoin mining units on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15220; what has not been said is any electrical figure at all — no contracted megawatts, no energy rate in cents per kilowatt-hour, no utility or interconnection agreement, no street address in Granby, and no miner model or aggregate hashrate, leaving square footage and unit count standing in for capacity. Is the $120,150 an annual rent, a monthly rent, or the total obligation across the 41-month term, and what is the all-in power cost per bitcoin mined at the deployed fleet's efficiency?
The company disclosed three separate Granby-related arrangements on 2019-07-31 — mining operations at the facility, cited as claim #15198, 24-hour security services, cited as claim #15199, and financial operations management, cited as claim #15200 — without naming a single counterparty to any of them. What has not been said is who the hosting, security, and back-office providers are, what each is paid, what the termination provisions are, and whether any of the three is affiliated with a director, an officer, or a holder of record, which matters acutely at a company that reported three full-time employees on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15222.
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency patent acquisition from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15218, together with a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity, cited as claim #15223; what has not been said is who holds the remaining 70% of that waterfall, which patents were conveyed by number, what board or officer overlap existed between the two public companies at the time of the transaction, and whether the related-party review was conducted by disinterested directors. Has the SPE generated any licensing revenue, and what is the waterfall's priority stack ahead of the 30% interest?
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 a $350,000 base salary for Merrick Okamoto, cited as claim #15388, and option grants of 5,000,000 shares, cited as claim #15389, plus 2,500,000 options, cited as claim #15385, of which 2,500,000 unvested options accelerate on a change of control, cited as claim #15386; what has not been said is the exercise price, vesting schedule, grant-date fair value, or the resulting percentage of fully diluted shares. Compounding this, Fred Thiel was named Compensation Committee Chairman on 2018-08-21, cited as claim #15437, and received a 50,000-share option grant on 2018-10-15, cited as claim #15396 — who set the chair's own grant, and was the CEO award benchmarked against any peer group?
The company disclosed a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve of 10,000,000 shares on 2018-08-13 and again on 2018-11-13, cited as claims #15460 and #15373, authorization to issue non-public securities equal to 20% on 2018-12-11, cited as claim #15333, a reverse stock split authorization due by 2018-12-31 that remains delayed, cited as claim #15332, and a $1.00 minimum bid price cure deadline of 2019-04-15, also delayed, cited as claim #15383; what has not been said is the shares-outstanding denominator against which any of these dilution figures should be read, the split ratio actually selected, and the effective date. Why did the authorized split lapse past its own deadline while the bid-price deficiency was still outstanding?
The company disclosed an At The Market program of $7,472,417 on 2019-07-18, cited as claim #15203, matching to the dollar the shelf figure cited on 2019-06-02 and 2019-07-01, claims #15228 and #15217, with a 3% sales agent commission, cited as claim #15204, against a stated twelve-month cash runway uncertainty from 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15462; what has not been said is how much of that capacity has actually been sold, at what weighted average price, what cash balance and monthly burn rate the going-concern language rests on, and how the three-share-reserve, ATM, and 20% authorizations interact. Separately, the 3,000,000-share break-up fee tied to the terminated Global Bit Ventures merger on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15461, and the director resignations of 2018-06-28, cited as claim #15476, are disclosed without naming who received those shares or whether any recipient overlapped with the departing board.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-20The company disclosed on 2019-07-01 that it had deployed 1,400 bitcoin mining units, cited as claim #15220, and separately described a 26,700 square foot Quebec facility on 2019-06-02, cited as claim #15230, with a lease running through November 2022 at a stated figure of $120,150, cited as claims #15229 and #15219; what has not been said is the facility's megawatt interconnection capacity, its all-in power price per kWh, its street address, or whether the $120,150 is annual rent, monthly rent, a deposit, or the total contracted lease obligation. A reader cannot convert 1,400 machines into hashrate or into a cost-per-bitcoin figure without the miner model, and none is given. Which utility or substation serves the Granby site, and under what rate schedule?
The 2019-07-31 disclosures name Granby as the site of mining operations and add a 24-hour security arrangement and an outsourced financial operations management function, cited as claims #15198, #15199 and #15200; what has not been said is who the counterparties are. With a full-time headcount of three employees as of 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15222, essentially the entire operating stack appears to be vendor-supplied, so who hosts the machines, who operates them, who provides security, who keeps the books, what are the contract terms and termination rights, and are any of these parties affiliated with officers or directors?
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency patent acquisition from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15218, alongside a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity, cited as claim #15223; what has not been said is whether this was a related-party transaction, given the overlapping investor and board networks between the two issuers, who holds the other 70% of the waterfall, what the SPE is named, who controls enforcement decisions, and how the $250,000 price was determined or by whom it was reviewed.
The compensation disclosures of 2018-10-15 record a $350,000 base salary and 5,000,000 stock options for Merrick Okamoto, cited as claims #15388 and #15389, plus separate line items of 2,500,000 options to the CEO and 2,500,000 unvested options carrying change-of-control acceleration, cited as claims #15385 and #15386, against a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve of 10,000,000 shares, cited as claims #15460 and #15373. What has not been said is whether the 5,000,000 figure is inclusive of or incremental to the two 2,500,000 tranches, what the exercise prices and vesting schedules are, and what percentage of fully diluted shares the CEO's grant represents when the top executive's award alone may consume half the entire plan reserve.
The company disclosed an At The Market Offering program with H.C. Wainwright on 2019-07-18 with capacity of $7,472,417 and a 3% commission, cited as claims #15202, #15203 and #15204, matching the shelf figures cited as claims #15228 and #15217; what has not been said is why the capacity is that precise and unusual number, which strongly suggests a baby-shelf limitation tied to one-third of non-affiliate float, nor how much has actually been sold to date, at what average price, and how many shares were issued. On the next call, what is the remaining unused ATM capacity, and does the float calculation reset in a way that shrinks it further if the stock declines?
The company flagged 12-month cash runway uncertainty on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15462, and then disclosed a Nasdaq minimum stockholders' equity compliance filing due 2019-11-13, cited as claim #15196, following a violation noted 2019-05-23, cited as claims #15243 and #15244; what has not been said is the actual cash balance, the monthly operating burn, the size of the stockholders' equity shortfall in dollars, and the specific plan to close it. How much bitcoin was mined and how much was sold rather than held in each quarter, and at what realized price?
The company authorized a reverse stock split by 2018-12-31, cited as claim #15332, and faced a $1.00 minimum bid price deadline of 2019-04-15, cited as claim #15383, both carried on the record as delayed; what has not been said is whether the split was ever effected, at what ratio, and on what date, or how compliance with the bid price rule was otherwise resolved before the separate 2019 deficiencies arose.
The Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated as disclosed on 2018-06-28, cited as claim #15477, with a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares, cited as claim #15461, on the same date that directors resigned, cited as claim #15476; what has not been said is which directors left, whether any resignation involved a disagreement with the company requiring disclosure, the dollar value ascribed to the 3,000,000 shares, and whether any GBV principal retained an ongoing equity or contractual relationship with the company afterward.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-20The company disclosed a Quebec data center of 26,700 square feet on 2019-06-02, cited as claim #15230, with a lease running through November 2022 at a stated $120,150 on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15219; what has not been said is the site's street address, its contracted megawatts and interconnection arrangement with the local utility, the all-in power price per kWh, and whether $120,150 is an annual rent, a monthly figure, or the aggregate over the lease term — square footage is a real estate unit, not a capacity unit, and nothing in the record converts one to the other.
The company disclosed deployment of 1,400 bitcoin mining units on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15220, alongside a stated plan to mine ether, cited as claim #15231; what has not been said is the miner model and per-unit hashrate, the aggregate hash power in PH/s, the energized-versus-received split as of the filing date, the capital committed to the ether plan, or the machines' expected useful life. A first-year analyst would ask on the next call how many of the 1,400 units were actually hashing, what the fleet efficiency in J/TH is, and how many bitcoin were produced in the quarter.
The company disclosed a three-million-share break-up fee tied to the terminated Global Bit Ventures merger on 2018-08-13, cited as claim #15461, following the termination announced on 2018-06-28, cited as claim #15477, on the same day directors resigned, cited as claim #15476; what has not been said is the dollar value ascribed to those shares, whether the departing directors had any affiliation with or economic interest in Global Bit Ventures, and why a terminated transaction carried a share-denominated fee payable by the company rather than a cash fee or none at all.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto received 5,000,000 stock options, cited as claim #15389, while separately disclosing 2,500,000 options issued to the CEO, cited as claim #15385, and 2,500,000 unvested options carrying change-of-control acceleration, cited as claim #15386, against a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve of 10,000,000 shares, cited as claims #15460 and #15373; what has not been said is whether these are three grants, one grant described three ways, or overlapping tranches, nor the exercise price, vesting schedule, grant-date fair value, or the resulting share of the entire plan reserve consumed by a single executive alongside his $350,000 salary, cited as claim #15388.
The company disclosed the purchase of cryptocurrency patents from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15218, together with a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity, cited as claim #15223; what has not been said is whether any officer or director of Marathon held a board seat, equity position, or other interest in XpresSpa at the time, the identity and manager of the special purpose entity, the tiers and priority of the waterfall above and below the 30% strip, and whether the transaction was reviewed as a related-party matter by an independent committee.
The company disclosed an At The Market program with H.C. Wainwright of $7,472,417 on 2019-07-18, cited as claims #15202 and #15203, at a 3% commission, cited as claim #15204, plus $25,000 of counsel expense reimbursement, cited as claim #15205, and the identical $7,472,417 figure appears in shelf disclosures on 2019-06-02 and 2019-07-01, cited as claims #15228 and #15217; what has not been said is the public float that produced that unusually precise cap, how much had actually been sold and at what average price, and how the remaining capacity reconciles with the going-concern language on twelve-month cash sufficiency, cited as claims #15462 and #15197, at a company reporting three full-time employees, cited as claim #15222.
The company disclosed shareholder authorization of a reverse stock split on 2018-12-11, cited as claim #15332, against a Nasdaq $1.00 minimum bid price cure deadline of 2019-04-15, cited as claim #15383; what has not been said is the ratio selected, the effective date, or whether the split was ever implemented — and the record likewise names no counterparty, fee, or term for the 24-hour security services and financial operations management arrangements disclosed on 2019-07-31, cited as claims #15199 and #15200, leaving open whether either vendor is a related party.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-20The company announced bitcoin mining operations at the Granby facility on 2019-07-31, cited as claims #15198, #15199 and #15200, describing mining operations, 24-hour security services and financial operations management as if performed by someone else; what has not been said is who that counterparty is, whether the hosting, security and financial-management roles sit with one vendor or three, what the contract term and fee structure are, and whether any of those parties is a related party of an officer or director. The gap is sharpened by claim #15222, which puts total full-time headcount at three employees as of 2019-07-01 — who physically operates a 26,700 square foot site, and under what agreement?
Marathon disclosed a Quebec mining facility of 26,700 square feet on 2019-06-02, cited as claim #15230, and a data center lease running through November 2022 with a figure of $120,150 on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15219; what has not been said is the period that $120,150 covers — monthly, annual, or aggregate over the full lease — nor the site's street address, its electrical service in megawatts, the contracted power rate per kilowatt-hour, the Hydro-Québec interconnection or energization status, and whether the lease price includes power at all. Square footage is not capacity: what is the energized megawatt figure behind the 26,700 square feet?
The company disclosed deployment of 1,400 bitcoin mining units on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15220, alongside plans to mine ether on 2019-06-02, cited as claim #15231; what has not been said is the miner make and model, the aggregate hashrate in petahash, how many of the 1,400 units were actually energized and hashing versus purchased or in transit, the capitalized cost and depreciation life, and — given the separate ether plan — whether any GPU capacity was ever procured or the plan quietly abandoned. A first-year analyst would ask for monthly bitcoin production and all-in cost per coin against these 1,400 units.
Marathon disclosed acquiring cryptocurrency patents from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15218, together with a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity, cited as claim #15223; what has not been said is the name of the special purpose entity, who holds the other 70%, the tiers and thresholds of the waterfall, who controls enforcement and litigation funding decisions, and — most importantly — what overlapping officer, director or shareholder relationships existed between Marathon and XpresSpa at the time that would make this a related-party transaction requiring proxy disclosure.
On 2018-10-15 the company disclosed option grants of 5,000,000 shares to Merrick Okamoto, cited as claim #15389, plus a 2,500,000 share CEO grant and 2,500,000 unvested options carrying change-of-control acceleration, cited as claims #15385 and #15386, against a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve of 10,000,000 shares, cited as claims #15460 and #15373; what has not been said is whether these are one grant described three ways or successive grants that consume the entire plan reserve, and in either case the exercise price, vesting schedule, and grant-date fair value are absent. Given the $1.00 minimum bid price deficiency disclosed six days later on 2018-10-21, cited as claim #15383, at what strike were these options struck relative to a sub-$1 stock, and what change-of-control event would accelerate the 2,500,000 unvested shares?
The company authorized a reverse stock split on 2018-12-11 with a 2018-12-31 date attached, cited as claim #15332, and separately obtained approval to issue non-public securities above the 20% threshold, cited as claim #15333, after regaining Nasdaq compliance on 2018-08-21, cited as claim #15438 — yet a new listing rule violation followed on 2019-05-23, cited as claim #15243; what has not been said is whether the reverse split was ever effected and at what ratio, why authority granted in December did not cure the bid price deficiency whose deadline was 2019-04-15, and which specific rule the May 2019 violation concerns. Was the 20% issuance authority used, and if so, to whom and at what discount?
The At The Market program with H.C. Wainwright was disclosed on 2019-07-18 at a capacity of $7,472,417 with a 3% sales agent commission, cited as claims #15202, #15203 and #15204, against going-concern language about twelve-month cash sufficiency on 2018-08-13 and 2019-07-31, cited as claims #15462 and #15197; what has not been said is the cash balance and monthly operating burn those going-concern statements are measured against, how much of the ATM had actually been sold and at what average price, and why the capacity is an unrounded $7,472,417 — is it the one-third public float cap under General Instruction I.B.6, and what public float does that imply? How many months of runway do current cash plus undrawn ATM capacity fund at the present burn rate?
The Global Bit Ventures merger was disclosed as terminated on 2018-06-28, cited as claim #15477, with directors resigning the same day, cited as claim #15476, but a 3,000,000 share break-up fee surfaced only in the 2018-08-13 disclosure, cited as claim #15461; what has not been said is who received those shares, the dollar value recorded and the expense period in which it was booked, whether the resigning directors were GBV designees or affiliates receiving any portion of the fee, and why a termination announced in June had its share-based cost disclosed six weeks later.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-20The company disclosed a Quebec data center lease of 26,700 square feet running through November 2022 at a stated $120,150 on 2019-06-02 and 2019-07-01, cited as claims #15230, #15229 and #15219, and separately described bitcoin mining operations at a 'Granby facility' on 2019-07-31, cited as claim #15198; what has not been said is the street address and interconnection detail of that site, the contracted megawatt capacity behind the square footage, whether the $120,150 figure is annual rent, total lease consideration or a deposit, and whether 'Granby' and the 26,700-square-foot lease are the same building or two sites. Square footage is not a power number, and a miner cannot be sized from it.
The company disclosed deployment of 1,400 units of bitcoin mining equipment on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15220, alongside a full-time employee headcount of three on the same date, cited as claim #15222; what has not been said is the miner model and aggregate hashrate, the energized-versus-received split of those 1,400 units, the total load they draw against the leased facility, and who physically operates and maintains the fleet given a three-person payroll — the 24-hour security services and financial operations management arrangements announced on 2019-07-31, cited as claims #15199 and #15200, name no counterparty and disclose no fee.
The company disclosed hosting at a bitcoin mining facility with electricity costs of $0.055 per KwH on 2019-08-28, cited as claim #15153; what has not been said is the identity of the host, the contract term and termination rights, whether $0.055 is an all-in hosting rate or a pass-through power rate before a hosting margin, whether there is a minimum take-or-pay commitment, and how many megawatts are contracted at that price. A rate without a committed quantity or a term is not a cost structure.
The company disclosed a cryptocurrency patent acquisition from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15218, together with a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity, cited as claim #15223; what has not been said is whether XpresSpa was a related party at the time through overlapping officers, directors or beneficial owners, whether the $250,000 price was set by arm's-length negotiation or board fairness determination, the name and capitalization of the special purpose entity, and where the 30% interest sits in the waterfall — that is, what recovery thresholds and priority returns must be satisfied before the company receives a dollar.
The company disclosed a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan share reserve of 10,000,000 shares on 2018-08-13 and again on 2018-11-12, cited as claims #15460 and #15373, and then on 2018-10-15 disclosed grants of 5,000,000 options and 2,500,000 options to Merrick Okamoto, 200,000 to David Lieberman, 100,000 to James Crawford and 50,000 each to three directors, cited as claims #15389, #15385, #15392, #15393, #15394, #15395 and #15396, plus 2,500,000 unvested options carrying change-of-control acceleration, cited as claim #15386; what has not been said is whether the 5,000,000 and 2,500,000 figures are two separate grants or one grant described twice, the exercise prices and vesting schedules, how much of the 10,000,000-share reserve remained after a single day's grants, and whether the accelerating 2,500,000 tranche is a subset of those awards or additional to them. Against base salaries of $350,000 and $180,000, cited as claims #15388 and #15391, the option grants are the compensation, and their terms are the undisclosed part.
The company disclosed a shelf registration and At The Market program capacity of $7,472,417 on 2019-06-02, 2019-07-01 and 2019-07-18, cited as claims #15228, #15217 and #15203, with a 3% sales agent commission to H.C. Wainwright, cited as claims #15204 and #15202, and disclosed 8,720,405 shares of common stock outstanding post-transaction on 2019-08-28, cited as claim #15152, following a reverse stock split authorization that slipped past its 2018-12-31 date, cited as claim #15332; what has not been said is the reverse split ratio and effective date, how many dollars of the ATM had actually been sold and at what average price as of the 8,720,405 share count, and whether the oddly precise $7,472,417 is a baby-shelf General Instruction I.B.6 one-third-of-float cap that shrinks as the stock falls. The first-year analyst question for the next call is simple: how many ATM dollars remain available today, and at what share price does that capacity go to zero.
The company disclosed twelve-month cash sufficiency uncertainty on 2018-08-13 and an operating cash sufficiency statement on 2019-07-31, cited as claims #15462 and #15197, both now carried as delayed, while disclosing a Nasdaq minimum stockholders' equity deficiency on 2019-05-23 and a compliance filing obligation, cited as claims #15243, #15244 and #15196 — this after having regained compliance on 2018-08-21, cited as claim #15438; what has not been said is the actual cash balance and monthly operating burn underlying the going-concern language, the dollar size of the stockholders' equity shortfall against the Nasdaq threshold, and how a $7.5 million ATM is expected to close that gap. Separately, the Global Bit Ventures merger termination carrying a 3,000,000-share break-up fee, cited as claims #15461 and #15477, has never been accompanied by the reason for termination, the value ascribed to those 3,000,000 shares, or whether they were in fact issued.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-19The company disclosed on 2019-07-31 that bitcoin mining operations at its Granby facility, 24-hour security, and financial operations management were all handled through partnerships (claims #15198, #15199, #15200), while reporting only three full-time employees on 2019-07-01 (claim #15222). What has not been said is who these counterparties are, what they are paid, and whether any of them are related to officers or directors. For a company this small, those vendors effectively run the business.
The company disclosed on 2019-07-01 a Quebec data center lease running through November 2022 at $120,150 (claim #15219), a 26,700 square foot facility (claim #15230), and deployment of 1,400 mining units (claim #15220). What has not been said is whether the $120,150 is a monthly, annual, or total-term figure. The company also has not given the facility's street address, contracted power capacity in megawatts, utility interconnection, miner model, or aggregate hashrate. Without those, the capacity claim cannot be tied to revenue potential.
The company disclosed on 2019-08-28 a hosting arrangement at $0.055/kWh (claim #15153). What has not been said is the name of the hosting provider, the contracted power capacity, the contract term, or whether the rate is fixed or pass-through. It is also unclear whether this arrangement is the Granby facility or a separate site.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto received 2.5 million stock options (claim #15385) and, in a separate item, 5,000,000 options (claim #15389). It also disclosed change-of-control acceleration on 2.5 million unvested options (claim #15386), against a 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve (claims #15460, #15373). What has not been said is which option figure is correct and what the strike price and vesting terms are. The company also has not said why roughly half the plan reserve went to one executive. Nor has it explained whether Proposal No. 5, withdrawn on 2018-11-13 over NASDAQ Rule 5635(b) change-of-control concerns (claim #15372), was connected to Okamoto's holdings.
The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated and that directors resigned the same day (claims #15477, #15476). On 2018-08-13 it described a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claim #15461). What has not been said is which party paid the fee, and whether it was issued or cancelled. The company also has not named the resigning directors or said whether their departures related to the failed merger.
The company disclosed on 2019-07-01 a $250,000 patent acquisition from XpresSpa Group paired with a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claims #15218, #15223). It separately disclosed a $7,472,417 H.C. Wainwright at-the-market program at a 3% commission (claims #15203, #15204). It also flagged twelve-month cash runway doubts twice (claims #15462, #15197). What has not been said is who holds the other 70% of the patent entity, what the waterfall priority is, and how much of the at-the-market capacity has actually been drawn.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-19The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated (claim #15477), that directors resigned the same day (claim #15476), and later a break-up fee payable in 3,000,000 shares (claim #15461). What has not been said is which directors left, why the deal collapsed, whether the fee shares were actually issued, and at what per-share value they were booked. Was the resignation connected to the termination?
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 option grants to Merrick Okamoto of 5,000,000 shares (claim #15389), described elsewhere as 2,500,000 issued plus 2,500,000 unvested with change-of-control acceleration (claims #15385, #15386), against a 10,000,000-share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve (claims #15460, #15373). What has not been said is the strike price, the vesting triggers for the unvested tranche, and why half the plan went to one executive. It is also unexplained what change of control Proposal No. 5 would have caused under Nasdaq Rule 5635(b) before it was withdrawn on 2018-11-13 (claim #15372), and who would have gained control.
The company disclosed on 2019-06-02 and 2019-07-01 a 26,700-square-foot Quebec facility (claim #15230) leased through November 2022 at a cited 120,150 USD (claim #15219), later tied to Granby (claim #15198). What has not been said is whether 120,150 USD is a monthly, annual, or total-term figure, the site's street address, its contracted power capacity in megawatts, and the name of the landlord or operator. Who provides the 24-hour security and financial operations management described as partnerships (claims #15199, #15200)?
The company disclosed 1,400 deployed mining units on 2019-07-01 (claim #15220), then on 2019-08-28 an acquisition of 6,000 Bitmain S-9 Antminers (claim #15150) hosted at 0.055 USD/kWh (claim #15153). What has not been said is the seller, the purchase price and how it was financed, the hosting counterparty and site, the resulting hashrate, and the fate of the 1,400 existing units. Was the 0.055 USD/kWh rate all-in or electricity only, and for what term?
The company disclosed on 2019-07-01 a 250,000 USD patent purchase from XpresSpa Group (claim #15218) and a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim #15223). What has not been said is who holds the remaining interest in the entity, whether any party is related to management or directors, and what the waterfall priority actually pays out before the company's 30% applies.
The company disclosed a string of Nasdaq compliance deadlines that slipped (claims #15466, #15467, #15468, #15383, #15244, #15196), a reverse split authorization (claim #15332), going-concern-style runway language (claims #15462, #15197), and a 7,472,417 USD H.C. Wainwright ATM at a 3% commission (claims #15202, #15203, #15204). What has not been said is the reverse split ratio and whether it was executed, how much of the ATM was drawn and at what average price, and whether the ATM proceeds alone were expected to cover the twelve-month runway with only three full-time employees on staff (claim #15222).
What we aren't being told
2026-09-18The company disclosed on 2019-06-02 a 26,700 square foot Quebec mining facility (claim #15230) and on 2019-07-01 a lease there through November 2022 at 120,150 USD (claim #15219). Operations at a Granby facility followed on 2019-07-31 (claim #15198). What has not been said is whether the 120,150 USD is annual, monthly or total, and whether it is in USD or CAD. The company also has not said whether Granby is the same site, what megawatt load is contracted, or which utility and interconnection serve it. So what power capacity actually backs the Quebec footprint?
The company disclosed on 2019-08-28 a hosting arrangement at 0.055 USD/kWh (claim #15153) and on 2019-07-01 a deployment of 1,400 mining units (claim #15220). What has not been said is who the hosting counterparty is, how long the rate is fixed and how much power it covers. The company also has not given the miner model or aggregate hashrate behind the 1,400 units. The Granby security and financial-operations partners (claims #15199, #15200) are likewise unnamed. Who are these counterparties, and on what terms?
The company disclosed on 2019-07-01 a 250,000 USD patent acquisition from XpresSpa Group (claim #15218) and a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim #15223). What has not been said is who holds the other 70%, what cash flows the waterfall applies to, and whether any director or officer has a relationship with XpresSpa or the SPE. Should this have been presented as a related-party transaction?
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that CEO Merrick Okamoto received 5,000,000 stock options (claim #15389). It described these as 2,500,000 issued plus 2,500,000 unvested options with change-of-control acceleration (claims #15385, #15386), alongside a 350,000 USD base salary (claim #15388). What has not been said is the strike price, the vesting schedule or performance hurdles, and what counts as a change of control. The company also has not disclosed any bonus terms. What is the full economic value of the package, measured against the 10,000,000 shares reserved under the 2018 plan (claims #15460, #15373)?
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claim #15461). On 2018-06-28 it disclosed that directors resigned in connection with the termination (claims #15477, #15476). What has not been said is which party paid the fee to whom, whether the shares were ever issued and at what valuation, and which directors left and why. How did the break-up fee affect the share count?
The company disclosed a chain of Nasdaq compliance deadlines, all now marked delayed (claims #15467, #15468, #15383, #15244, #15196). It also disclosed a reverse split authorization due by 2018-12-31 (claim #15332), approval for non-public issuances above 20% (claim #15333) and a 2,335,000-share private placement on 2019-08-28 (claim #15151). What has not been said is the split ratio and whether a split was executed. The company also has not named the placement investors or disclosed the per-share price and discount. What dilution did these financings cause relative to the H.C. Wainwright ATM capacity of 7,472,417 USD (claim #15203)?
What we aren't being told
2026-09-18The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto received stock options on 5,000,000 shares (claim #15389), split into 2,500,000 options (claim #15385) and 2,500,000 unvested options with change-of-control acceleration (claim #15386). What has not been said is the exercise price, the vesting schedule or performance conditions for the unvested tranche, or what counts as a change of control. Given that Proposal No. 5 was withdrawn on 2018-11-13 over NASDAQ Rule 5635(b) change-of-control concerns (claim #15372), what did that proposal cover, and who would have gained control or economics under it?
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim #15461), and on 2018-06-28 that directors resigned in connection with the termination (claims #15476, #15477). What has not been said is who received the break-up shares, how they were valued, whether they carried registration rights, and which directors resigned and why. Were any of the resigning directors affiliated with Global Bit Ventures?
The company disclosed a Quebec mining facility of 26,700 square feet on 2019-06-02 (claim #15230), a lease running through November 2022 tied to a figure of $120,150 on 2019-07-01 (claim #15219), and mining operations at a Granby facility on 2019-07-31 (claim #15198). What has not been said is whether $120,150 is monthly, annual, or total lease cost, whether Granby is the same site as the Quebec facility, and what the site's contracted power capacity in megawatts is, along with the utility counterparty and interconnection terms. How many megawatts does the facility actually draw?
The company disclosed 1,400 bitcoin mining units deployed on 2019-07-01 (claim #15220), alongside a full-time headcount of 3 employees (claim #15222), and on 2019-08-28 a hosting arrangement at $0.055/kWh (claim #15153). What has not been said is the miner model, aggregate hashrate, the share of units actually operating, the name of the hosting provider, and the contract term and minimum-power commitments. The same gap applies to the unnamed providers of 24-hour security and financial operations management (claims #15199, #15200). Who are these counterparties, and are any of them related parties?
The company disclosed on 2019-07-01 a $250,000 cryptocurrency patent acquisition from XpresSpa Group (claim #15218) and a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special-purpose entity (claim #15223). What has not been said is which patents were acquired, the name and other owners of the SPE, and where Marathon sits in the waterfall. What monetization, if any, has the patent portfolio produced relative to its cost?
The company disclosed an all-stock private placement of 2,335,000 shares on 2019-08-28 (claim #15151), a $7,472,417 at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright at a 3% commission (claims #15202, #15203, #15204), and repeated doubts about its twelve-month cash runway (claims #15462, #15197). What has not been said is who the placement purchasers were, the per-share price, how much of the ATM was actually drawn and at what average price, and whether the repeated Nasdaq equity and bid-price deficiencies (claims #15243, #15196, #15383) were cured by these raises or by the reverse split authorized on 2018-12-11 (claim #15332). When, if ever, was that reverse split effected?
What we aren't being told
2026-09-18The company disclosed on 2019-07-31 that Bitcoin mining at its Granby facility runs under a partnership that also covers 24-hour security and financial operations management (claims #15198, #15199, #15200), and on 2019-08-28 that hosting is priced at 0.055 USD/kWh (claim #15153). What has not been said is who the counterparty is. Is it the same party for hosting, security and financial management, and is that party related to any director, officer or placement investor?
The company disclosed a 26,700 square foot Quebec facility on 2019-06-02 (claim #15230) and a lease through November 2022 figured at 120,150 USD (claims #15219, #15229). What has not been said is whether that figure is monthly, annual or total. The company has also not given the facility's street address, its contracted megawatt capacity, or its utility and interconnection arrangement, and it has not said whether the 0.055 USD/kWh rate is fixed or indexed.
The company disclosed on 2019-07-01 that 1,400 mining units were deployed (claim #15220) with only three full-time employees (claim #15222). What has not been said is the miner model, the aggregate hashrate, the power draw, or the monthly bitcoin produced. Without those figures, the hosting cost and the cash-runway warnings (claims #15462, #15197) cannot be checked against unit economics.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that CEO Merrick Okamoto received 2.5 million stock options (claim #15385) but also 5 million options (claim #15389), with 2.5 million unvested options carrying change-of-control acceleration (claim #15386). What has not been said is how these figures reconcile, or what the exercise price, vesting schedule and grant-date fair value are. The company has also not explained how these grants relate to the 10 million share 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve (claims #15460, #15373).
The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 and 2018-08-13 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated with a break-up fee paid as 3,000,000 shares (claims #15477, #15461), and that directors resigned on the same date (claim #15476). What has not been said is who received the shares, what value was assigned to them, and whether they were actually issued. The company has also not said which directors resigned or whether the resignations were tied to the termination.
The company disclosed on 2019-08-28 an all-stock private placement of 2,335,000 common shares (claim #15151), and on 2019-07-18 a 7,472,417 USD at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright (claims #15202, #15203). What has not been said is who bought the placement shares, at what price, and whether any purchaser is linked to the Granby hosting counterparty. The company has also not said how much of the ATM capacity has been drawn, or whether the reverse split authorized on 2018-12-11 (claim #15332) was carried out, and at what ratio, to address the recurring Nasdaq deficiencies (claims #15383, #15243, #15196).
What we aren't being told
2026-09-18The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto received 5,000,000 stock options (claim #15389), including 2,500,000 options (claim #15385) and 2,500,000 unvested options with change-of-control acceleration (claim #15386). The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserved only 10,000,000 shares (claims #15460, #15373). What has not been said is the strike price, the vesting schedule for the unvested tranche, what counts as a change of control, and why half the plan reserve went to a single executive who also chairs the board. How was that grant priced relative to the grants of 50,000 to 200,000 options made to directors and the CFO on the same date (claims #15392 to #15396)?
The company disclosed on 2018-11-13 that Proposal No. 5 was withdrawn to comply with NASDAQ Rule 5635(b) (claim #15372). On 2018-12-11 it disclosed approval for a non-public issuance above the 20 percent threshold (claim #15333). What has not been said is who the intended investor or acquirer was, and whose holdings would have triggered a change of control under 5635(b). Was the later approved issuance directed to the same unnamed counterparty, and on what terms?
The company disclosed on 2018-08-13 a 3,000,000-share break-up fee tied to terminating the Global Bit Ventures merger (claims #15461, #15477). What has not been said is whether those shares were actually issued, and at what per-share value the fee was recorded. It is also unclear how the fee was adjusted, if at all, for the reverse split authorized on 2018-12-11 (claim #15332), given that only 8,720,405 common shares were outstanding by 2019-08-28 (claim #15152).
The company disclosed a Quebec data center lease through November 2022 valued at 120,150 USD (claim #15219) for a 26,700 square foot facility (claims #15229, #15230), plus operations at a Granby facility (claim #15198). What has not been said is whether 120,150 USD is a monthly, annual, or total-term figure, and whether the Quebec and Granby references describe the same site. The filings also give no street address, no contracted megawatt capacity, and no utility or interconnection arrangement behind a site deploying 1,400 mining units (claim #15220).
The company disclosed on 2019-08-28 a hosting arrangement priced at 0.055 USD/kWh (claim #15153), and on 2019-07-31 it disclosed third-party 24-hour security and financial operations management services (claims #15199, #15200). What has not been said is the name of the hosting provider or the service counterparties, the contract term, and whether any of these parties are related to management. With only three full-time employees (claim #15222), who actually operates the mining fleet, and what are the fixed fees beyond the per-kWh rate?
The company disclosed on 2019-07-01 the purchase of cryptocurrency patents from XpresSpa Group for 250,000 USD (claim #15218), along with a 30 percent waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim #15223). What has not been said is who holds the other 70 percent and what the waterfall priority is. The company also has not said how much of the 7,472,417 USD At The Market capacity with H.C. Wainwright (claims #15203, #15202) had been drawn. This matters given the repeated twelve-month cash runway uncertainty (claims #15462, #15197). How much cash did the ATM actually raise, and does any patent monetization proceeds flow to parties other than shareholders?
What we aren't being told
2026-09-15The company disclosed on 2018-06-28 that the Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated and that directors resigned, cited as claims #15477 and #15476, and on 2018-08-13 described a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares, cited as claim #15461 and marked delayed. What has not been said is which directors resigned and why, whether the 3,000,000 shares were actually issued, at what per-share value the fee was recorded, and whether the resignations were tied to the failed merger.
The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto received stock options described as 5,000,000 shares, cited as claim #15389, and separately as 2,500,000 options issued plus 2,500,000 unvested options carrying change-of-control acceleration, cited as claims #15385 and #15386. What has not been said is the exercise price, the vesting triggers for the unvested tranche, and whether this grant is connected to Proposal No. 5, which was withdrawn on 2018-11-13 over Nasdaq Rule 5635(b) change-of-control concerns, cited as claim #15372. The company also has not identified who would receive the non-public issuance of up to 20 percent approved on 2018-12-11, cited as claim #15333.
The company disclosed a 26,700 square foot Quebec mining facility, cited as claim #15230, leased through November 2022 at a figure of $120,150, cited as claim #15219, and bitcoin mining at a Granby facility, cited as claim #15198. What has not been said is whether $120,150 is a monthly, annual, or total-term amount, who the landlord or operating partner is, and the site's contracted power capacity in megawatts.
The company disclosed on 2019-08-28 the acquisition of 6,000 Bitmain S-9 miners, cited as claim #15150, hosted at an electricity cost of $0.055/kWh, cited as claim #15153, after reporting 1,400 deployed units on 2019-07-01, cited as claim #15220. What has not been said is the seller, the purchase price or consideration, the identity and location of the hosting provider, and when the 6,000 units would be energized, including the implied hashrate.
The company disclosed on 2019-07-01 a $250,000 cryptocurrency patent acquisition from XpresSpa Group, cited as claim #15218, alongside a 30 percent waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity, cited as claim #15223. What has not been said is who holds the remaining 70 percent, whether any officer or director has a relationship with XpresSpa or the SPE, and whether the waterfall has produced any cash.
The company disclosed going-concern-style runway uncertainty on 2018-08-13 and 2019-07-31, cited as claims #15462 and #15197, repeated Nasdaq deficiencies, cited as claims #15383, #15243 and #15196, a reverse split authorization by 2018-12-31, cited as claim #15332, and a $7,472,417 ATM with H.C. Wainwright, cited as claims #15203 and #15202, while reporting three full-time employees, cited as claim #15222. What has not been said is the reverse split ratio and whether it was effected, how much of the ATM had been drawn and at what average price, and who provides the outsourced financial operations management and security services, cited as claims #15200 and #15199.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-15The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto was appointed Executive Chairman and CEO with a $350,000 base salary and 5,000,000 stock options (claims #15387, #15388, #15389). The same filing records 2,500,000 options issued to the CEO and 2,500,000 unvested options carrying change-of-control acceleration (claims #15385, #15386). What has not been said is how the 5,000,000 and 2,500,000 figures reconcile, what the strike price and vesting schedule are, and which grants would accelerate. Related to this, the company withdrew Proposal No. 5 on 2018-11-13 over NASDAQ Rule 5635(b), the change-of-control rule (claim #15372). Which holder or transaction would have crossed the control threshold, and how did that interact with the CEO's accelerated options?
The company disclosed a 26,700 square foot Quebec mining facility leased through November 2022 at a cited $120,150 (claims #15230, #15219, #15229). What has not been said is whether $120,150 is a monthly, annual or total-term figure. The company also has not given the facility's contracted power in megawatts, its Hydro-Quebec rate or interconnection terms, or the street address of the Granby site referenced separately (claim #15198).
On 2019-08-28 the company disclosed a hosting arrangement at $0.055 per kWh and the acquisition of 6,000 Bitmain S-9 Antminers (claims #15153, #15150). This followed a 2019-07-01 statement of 1,400 deployed units (claim #15220). What has not been said is who the hosting provider and the miner seller are, what was paid for the 6,000 machines, where they will be physically hosted, and what hosting term and minimum power commitment the $0.055 rate is tied to. The company also has not given a resulting hashrate figure that would let the unit counts be checked.
The company described third-party arrangements for its Granby mining operations, 24-hour security, and financial operations management (claims #15198, #15199, #15200) while reporting only 3 full-time employees (claim #15222). What has not been said is who these counterparties are, what they are paid, and whether any are affiliated with officers or directors. That matters given how much of the operation appears to be outsourced.
The company disclosed a $250,000 cryptocurrency patent acquisition from XpresSpa Group and a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claims #15218, #15223). What has not been said is who holds the remaining interests in that entity, how the waterfall is ordered, and whether any director or officer has ties to XpresSpa. Separately, the terminated Global Bit Ventures merger carried a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claims #15477, #15461). Were those shares actually issued, and at what recorded value?
The company put in place a $7,472,417 at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright at a 3% commission (claims #15202, #15203, #15204). It did so while twice flagging doubt about twelve months of cash runway (claims #15462, #15197) and a Nasdaq minimum equity deficiency with a 2019-11-13 filing deadline (claim #15196). What has not been said is how much of the ATM has been drawn, at what average price and resulting share count, and whether the proceeds were enough to cure the equity deficiency. The company also has not said how the reverse split authorized for 2018-12-31 was used (claim #15332).
What we aren't being told
2026-09-14The company disclosed on 2018-10-15 that Merrick Okamoto received stock options covering 5,000,000 shares (claim #15389). It also disclosed 2.5 million options issued to the CEO (claim #15385) and 2.5 million unvested options with change-of-control acceleration (claim #15386). What has not been said is whether these are two halves of one 5,000,000-share grant or separate awards, and what the strike price, vesting schedule and expiry are. Separately, Proposal No. 5 was withdrawn on 2018-11-13 over NASDAQ Rule 5635(b) change-of-control concerns (claim #15372), so what did that proposal actually authorize, and did it involve the CEO's equity or a specific investor?
The company disclosed an all-stock purchase of 6,000 Bitmain S-9 miners for 2,335,000 common shares on 2019-08-28 (claims #15150, #15151, #15136). Post-transaction shares outstanding were 8,720,405 (claim #15152), and the seller was later named as SelectGreen at a $4,086,250 value (claims #15062, #15071). What has not been said is who beneficially owns SelectGreen, and whether any insider is connected to it. The block works out to roughly 27% of outstanding shares, so how was the deal structured to stay clear of the 20% issuance and change-of-control limits flagged in claims #15333 and #15372? It is also unexplained why $1,852,477 of the share issuance was still pending as of 2019-11-07 (claim #15066).
The company disclosed on 2019-08-28 that the new miners would be hosted at an electricity cost of $0.055/kWh (claim #15153). What has not been said is the hosting provider's name, the site location, the contracted megawatts, the contract term, and whether hosting fees sit on top of the power rate. It is also unclear whether those 6,000 units are deployed alongside the 1,400 units already disclosed (claim #15220).
The company disclosed on 2019-06-02 and 2019-07-01 a 26,700 sq ft Quebec mining facility leased through November 2022 at $120,150 (claims #15229, #15230, #15219). What has not been said is whether $120,150 is an annual, monthly or total-term figure, and what the street address and power capacity in MW are. Does the site have a direct Hydro-Québec interconnection or tariff allocation? The 2019-06-02 mention of Ether mining plans (claim #15231) has also never been followed by any deployment or abandonment update.
The company disclosed on 2019-07-31 and again on 2019-11-07 unnamed partners for Granby facility operations, financial operations management and 24-hour security services (claims #15198, #15200, #15199, #15068, #15070, #15069). With only three full-time employees (claim #15222), what has not been said is who these counterparties are, what they are paid, and whether any are related parties. Given how much of the business has been outsourced, the omission is significant.
The company disclosed a $7,472,417 at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright on 2019-07-18 (claims #15202, #15203), with only $79,817 raised by 2019-11-11 (claim #15061). It also disclosed guidance that operating cash would suffice for twelve months (claim #15197). What has not been said is how many shares were sold and at what average price, and what cash balance and monthly burn support that guidance. Relatedly, what is the counterparty and economic value of the 30% waterfall interest in the patent special-purpose entity tied to the $250,000 XpresSpa patent purchase (claims #15223, #15218)?
What we aren't being told
2026-09-14The company disclosed on 2019-11-07 a Granby facility operations partnership, a 24-hour security services partnership and a financial operations services partnership (claims #15068, #15069, #15070), none of which names a counterparty; what has not been said is who operates Granby, where exactly the site is, how much power it has and on what terms, and whether the miners bought in 2020 (claims #14868, #14869, #14870) are hosted there or elsewhere. Who runs the site Marathon's hashrate depends on, and how many megawatts does it have?
The company disclosed on 2019-11-07 and again on 2020-08-13 the purchase of 6,000 S-9 miners from SelectGreen Blockchain for $4,086,250 (claims #15071, #15062, #14851, #14883), tied to a pending $1,852,477 share issuance (claim #15066) and stockholder approval for issuing more than 19.99% (claim #15048); what has not been said is how the price was split between cash and stock, how many shares SelectGreen received, whether SelectGreen became a significant or related holder, and whether the S-9s were ever deployed. Why do the August 2020 hashrate figures of 73 PH/s and 56 PH/s (claims #14857, #14856) appear to leave the 6,000 S-9s out?
The company disclosed on 2020-06-28, 2020-07-22 and 2020-08-05 a target of about 240 PH/s once the announced miners are deployed (claims #14906, #14887, #14871), but its itemized figures come to only 129 PH/s (claims #14857, #14856). The remainder depends on 1,000 S-19 Pro units expected only in 'Q4 2020' (claim #14855). What has not been said is the firm delivery date and payment status of those 1,000 units, whether the 660 mid-August units (claims #14873, #14854) actually arrived, and which MicroBT model was bought, given that filings variously say M30S+, M31S+ and M305+ (claims #14884, #14872, #14852). What is the energized, hashing capacity today versus 'when fully deployed'?
The company disclosed on 2020-06-28 and 2020-07-22 executive stock and cash awards totaling 1,164,000 restricted stock units (claims #14908, #14891), made while it reported 3 full-time employees (claim #14890) and a Nasdaq bid-price deficiency (claims #14943, #14893). What has not been said is who received the units, the vesting and performance conditions, the dollar value of the cash component, and whether the grants were benchmarked or approved by an independent committee. How were awards of this size justified for a three-person company facing a delisting notice?
The company disclosed on 2020-05-19 and 2020-07-22 an amendment reducing the conversion price on a $999,105.60 Bi-Coastal Consulting convertible note (claims #14913, #14892); what has not been said is the old and new conversion prices, how many shares the note now converts into, and who owns or controls Bi-Coastal Consulting. Is Bi-Coastal a related party, and what did the company receive in exchange for the lower conversion price?
The company disclosed at-the-market figures of $79,817 (claim #15061), $7,472,417 capacity (claim #14915), a $7.5M H.C. Wainwright agreement with a 2019-07-19 date (claim #14848), $7.1M sold in the first half of 2020 (claim #14849), a $6.9M underwritten offering of 5,293,246 shares (claims #14850, #14895) and a $100M S-3 (claim #14874). What has not been said is whether these amounts are gross or net, what the $79,817 figure represents, the average sale price and total share count, fees paid to Wainwright, and how much capacity remains. With the company claiming regained Nasdaq compliance as of August 6, 2020 (claim #14864), has it received written confirmation from Nasdaq, and how much further dilution is planned to pay for the Q4 miner deliveries?
What we aren't being told
2026-09-14The company disclosed an exclusive power purchase agreement with Beowulf on 2020-10-12, cited as claims #14791 and #14801, alongside a $14,000,000 Phase I construction cost (#14793) and a Phase II cost "per megawatt" (#14794). What has not been said is the PPA term, the contracted megawatts, the site's physical location and interconnection point, or the actual Phase II per-megawatt figure. Is the $0.006/kWh rate (#14800) the all-in power price, or only an operating and maintenance charge on top of an undisclosed energy tariff?
The company disclosed on 2020-08-13 a target of 294 PH/s once all S-19 Pro miners are installed, cited as claim #14858. That conflicts with the approximately 240 PH/s figure repeated on 2020-06-28, 2020-07-22 and 2020-08-05 (#14906, #14887, #14871), and with the 129 PH/s actually running (#14857 plus #14856). What has not been said is how the target moved, and whether 1,660 S-19 Pros (#14853) is right, given that the itemized batches of 660 and 500 (#14885, #14886) total only 1,160. The same filings call the MicroBT unit an M30S+, M31S+ and M305+ (#14884, #14872, #14856), so which model was actually bought?
The company disclosed on 2020-08-17 a $23,159,173.80 purchase of 10,500 Antminer S-19 Pros with a minimum aggregate hashrate of 1,155,000 TH/s, delivered through June 2021, cited as claims #14842, #14843, #14844 and #14845. What has not been said is the tranche-by-tranche delivery schedule, the deposit already paid versus the balance still owed, and remedies if hashrate falls short. It also has not said where these units will be hosted and at what power cost, given that Compute North (#14861) and the Beowulf site (#14791) both appear without allocation.
The company disclosed on 2020-07-22 and 2020-05-19 an amendment reducing the conversion price on a $999,105.60 convertible note held by Bi-Coastal Consulting, cited as claims #14892 and #14913. What has not been said is the old and new conversion price, the resulting share count and dilution, why a lower price was granted while the company was issuing equity (#14895, #14850), and whether Bi-Coastal has any relationship with insiders.
The company disclosed on 2020-06-28 and 2020-07-22 executive stock and cash awards of 1,164,000 units, cited as claims #14908 and #14891. At the same time it reported three full-time employees (#14890) and flagged going-concern doubt (#14865). What has not been said is which executives received the grants, how they split, the vesting or performance conditions, and the cash component's dollar value. The 3,000,000-share issuance and 150,000-share Phase I completion bonus tied to the O&M agreement (#14796, #14797, #14792) leave a similar question: who is the counterparty?
The company disclosed an ATM facility sized variously at $7,472,417 and $7,500,000 (#14915, #14848), of which $7,100,000 was used in the first half of 2020 (#14849), plus a $100,000,000 S-3 shelf (#14874). What has not been said is how much ATM capacity remains, whether a new ATM sits under the shelf, and how the roughly $23 million Antminer balance will be funded. Separately, it claimed Nasdaq compliance was regained as of 2020-08-06 (#14864); has it produced the Nasdaq confirmation letter that retires the 2020-12-17 deadline still cited in #14863?
What we aren't being told
2026-09-14The company disclosed a binding letter of intent with Compute North to host 73,000 miners by 2022-03-31, cited as claims #14590, #14591 and #14284. It later restated that target as 2022-06-30 (claim #14346) and described a joint venture, Marathon Compute North 1 LLC, that is 82% owned and hosts 30,000 S19 miners (claims #14347 and #14348). What has not been said is how many of the 73,000 machines were actually energized by each deadline, where the other roughly 43,000 miners outside the JV are sited, and what physical addresses, interconnection capacity or power counterparties sit behind any of these hosting sites.
The company disclosed a bridge loan to Compute North and a related expedite-fee commitment on 2021-05-26, cited as claims #14593, #14594, #14311 and #14283. It also disclosed a hosting rate recorded as 0.5 USD per machine per month (claim #14289). What has not been said, in consistent units, is the actual bridge loan principal: it is recorded as 67.0 USD, while the expedite fees appear as both 14.0 and 14,000,000 USD. Nor has the company given the interest rate, collateral, or repayment status of the loan, or the all-in hosting cost in dollars per kWh and the contract term. The 0.5 USD figure cannot be the true economic rate.
The company disclosed a $100 million Silvergate Bank revolving credit facility maturing 2022-10-01. That facility carries a $25 million minimum liquidity covenant, a 0.5 debt-to-equity covenant and a 65% loan-to-value collateral requirement (claims #14440, #14444, #14445 and #14446). An amendment and waiver followed on 2021-11-14, alongside the convertible note launch (claim #14399). What has not been said is which covenant was waived and why, how much of the facility was drawn at any reporting date, and whether the facility was renewed, repaid or terminated at its 2022-10-01 maturity. The financial statement disclosure also restates the facility ambiguously as "100.0 USD" (claims #14298 and #14312).
The company disclosed an SEC investigation and subpoena in its 2022-03-09 filing, cited as claim #14292. The same filing disclosed a CEO appointment (claim #14293). What has not been said is the subject matter and scope of the SEC inquiry, whether it relates to the Hardin, Montana facility or to earlier financings, and its current status. On the governance side, the record does not name the appointee, describe the compensation terms, or say how much of the 7,500,000-share increase to the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (claim #14555) went to executives or the newly appointed directors (claims #14596, #14597 and #14323).
The company disclosed a series of Bitmain purchase contracts. These include August and October 2020 S-19 Pro contracts due by mid-2021, a $167.8 million December 2020 contract due by 2022-01-31, and a $126 million July 2021 contract for 30,000 S-19j Pro units due by 2022-06-30 (claims #14340, #14341, #14342, #14343, #14344, #14522 and #14523). It also cited a total hashrate of 240.0 PH/s (claim #14286). What has not been said is how many units under each contract were actually delivered and deployed against those dates, and how much in deposits remained outstanding. The record also does not state whether the hashrate figure is current or a target, its as-of date, or whether the unit should be EH/s.
The company disclosed a Master Securities Loan Agreement under which NYDIG lends it 300 BTC, cited as claims #14464, #14290 and #14345. It also disclosed a $150 million bitcoin purchase of 4,812.66 BTC (claims #14291 and #14297). What has not been said is the borrow fee, the term, the use of the borrowed bitcoin, and whether any company-owned bitcoin was pledged or rehypothecated under this agreement or as collateral for the Silvergate facility's loan-to-value test.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-14The company disclosed on 2021-12-05 that Compute North would host 73,000 S19 miners by 2022-06-30 (claim #14346), and on 2022-03-09 it restated that capacity with a 2022-03-31 date (claim #14332). It also disclosed a $67 million binding letter of intent (claim #14331) and a $14.6 million initial deposit (claim #14333). What has not been said is which physical sites host these machines, their megawatt allocation and interconnection arrangements, and why the two filings give different completion dates for the same 73,000-miner commitment. The hosting price was recorded as 0.5 USD/machine/month (claim #14289), which cannot be right as stated; what is the actual unit (per kWh, per MW, or per month per machine) and the all-in hosting cost?
The company disclosed an 82 percent stake in Marathon Compute North 1 LLC hosting 30,000 S19 miners (claims #14347 and #14348). What has not been said is who holds the remaining 18 percent, what that party contributed, how cash flows and control are split, and where the other 43,000 of the 73,000 hosted miners (claim #14346) sit outside the joint venture.
The company disclosed a 70,000-unit Antminer S-19 purchase for $167.8 million with delivery through January 2022 (claim #14301), and a 30,000-unit S-19j Pro contract for $126 million due by 2022-06-30 (claims #14522, #14523, #14302 and #14317). What has not been said is how many units were actually delivered and energized by each deadline, and whether any shortfall led to refunds, credits or re-pricing from Bitmain. Beyond deliveries, what hashrate in EH/s did the company actually reach, and on what date?
The company disclosed a $100 million Silvergate Bank revolver on 2021-10-06 with a $25 million minimum-liquidity covenant, a 0.5 debt-to-equity covenant and a 65 percent LTV collateral requirement (claims #14440, #14444, #14445 and #14446). Roughly a month later it disclosed an amendment and waiver (claim #14399), timed alongside the convertible notes offering (claim #14400). What has not been said is which covenant was waived and why, how much was drawn against the facility, and whether it was renewed or repaid after its 2022-10-01 maturity.
The company disclosed $650 million of 1.00% convertible senior notes plus a $97.5 million option (claims #14387, #14388 and #14369). The due date appears as December 1, 2026 in one record (claim #14387) and November 18, 2026 in others (claims #14299, #14313 and #14327). What has not been said is the correct maturity date, how much principal is still outstanding, and how the company plans to settle or refinance the notes now that maturity is less than three months away. A related open question is whether conversions or repurchases have already reduced that balance.
The company disclosed an SEC investigation and subpoena tied to the Hardin, Montana data center facility (claims #14292, #14324 and #14338), a board overhaul including Peter Benz's transition and Michael Berg's resignation (claim #14322), and conditional RSU awards to Merrick Okamoto of roughly 6 million units tied to market-capitalization milestones (claim #14320). What has not been said is the subject matter and current status of the SEC inquiry, including whether any counterparties or insiders connected to the Hardin transaction are involved. The company also has not disclosed the milestone thresholds for the RSU awards, how many units have vested, or what separation terms accompanied the director departures.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-14The company disclosed on 2022-04-04 that its Hardin data center had 110 MW of capacity, cited as claim #14094, that it would terminate the Hardin facility agreements by 2022-08-15 (claim #14095), redeploy the Hardin miners to renewable facilities by 2022-09-30 (claim #14096), and become carbon neutral by the end of 2022 (claim #14097). What has not been said is who the counterparty to the Hardin agreements was, what the termination cost, which named sites received the miners and how many, and whether the carbon-neutral mandate was met or quietly dropped. Did any of those deadlines close with a disclosed outcome?
The company disclosed a $100 million revolver and a $100 million term loan with Silvergate Bank on 2022-08-02, cited as claims #13835 and #13836. These carried a $350 million adjusted net worth covenant and a $25 million minimum liquidity covenant (claims #13839 and #13840), and $35 million was drawn on the revolver by 2022-08-08 (claim #13817). Both facilities were terminated on 2023-03-07, with Silvergate waiving the 0.50% prepayment charge and the 90-day notice requirement (claims #13180, #13181, #13182, #13194, #13195, #13196). What has not been said is how the $35 million was repaid and from what source, whether the $50 million delayed-draw tranche (claim #13837) was ever drawn, whether the $250,000 contingent draw fee (claim #13838) was refunded, and what replaced this liquidity. Were the covenants at risk of breach before termination?
The company disclosed executive RSU grants across several filings, but the figures and vesting dates do not reconcile. Hugh Gallagher's grant appears as 50,000 units vesting to 2023-03-31 (claim #14087) and as 150,000 units with end dates of 2023-03-31, 2024-03-31 and 2025-03-31 (claims #13707, #13669, #13965). Fred Thiel's 500,000 RSUs vest by 2024-04-26 in claims #13964 and #13667 but by 2022-04-26 in claim #13705. The COO and CAO grants end on 2023-04-01 in claims #13706 and #13708 but on 2026-04-01 in claims #13668 and #13670. What has not been said is which schedule governs, whether any vesting is performance-conditioned, and what the grant-date fair values were. Were these separate grants or amendments?
The company disclosed on 2022-10-16 a settlement payment to former CEO Merrick D. Okamoto, cited as claim #13531, and settlement payments to five other individuals including a director and the current CEO, cited as claim #13532. These were recorded as 24.0 and 1.0 USD, which are figures whose units are plainly ambiguous. What has not been said is the actual dollar amounts, the underlying claims being settled, who funded the payments (the company, insurers, or the individuals), and why a sitting CEO and director were settling parties. Does this related-party exposure appear in proxy disclosures?
The company disclosed an SEC comment letter on accounting matters and a restatement of its financial statements on 2023-02-27, cited as claims #13318 and #13320, along with an expected 10-K filing date of 2023-03-16 that slipped (claim #13319). What has not been said is which periods were restated, the dollar magnitude of the adjustments, and whether a material weakness was identified. It is also unclear why the Chief Accounting Officer role turned over: Simeon Salzman was appointed in April 2022 (claims #14085 and #13963), and John Lee was appointed CAO with a 2022-11-21 date (claim #13062). Was Salzman's departure related to the accounting issues the SEC raised?
The company disclosed on 2023-03-15 a set of 2023 deployment targets, all now marked delayed: 57,000 rigs at Ellendale ND (claims #13070 and #13080), 10,400 air-cooled rigs at Jamestown ND (claim #13081), a 19 MW immersion expansion at Garden City TX (claims #13069 and #13079), 4,000 rigs at McCamey TX (claims #13068 and #13078), and 23 EH/s by 2023-09-30 (claims #13067, #13075 and #13088). What has not been said is who hosts or powers each site, how many megawatts were actually energized versus rigs merely installed, what hashrate was achieved on the target date, and why the Ellendale deadline appears as both 2023-03-31 and 2023-06-30. The claim record supplied here is truncated after claim #12983, so later updates may exist but were not reviewed.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-14The company disclosed a settlement with former CEO Merrick Okamoto on 2022-10-16 (claim #13531), later quantified as $24.0 million (claim #12986). It also disclosed payments to five other individuals including a director and the current CEO (claim #13532), later restated as $2.1 million to seven other recipients (claim #12987). What has not been said is why the recipient count moved from five to seven, how much Fred Thiel personally received while he was CEO and Chairman (claim #13666), and whether the board approved these related-party payments with an independent committee.
The company disclosed 500,000-RSU, 150,000-RSU and 25,000-RSU grants to its CEO, CFO, COO and CAO across three filings (claims #13964, #13965, #13705, #13706, #13707, #13708, #13667, #13668, #13669, #13670). The vesting end dates conflict across those filings: the CEO's is shown as 2022-04-26 and 2024-04-26, the CFO's as 2023-03-31, 2024-03-31 and 2025-03-31, and the COO's as 2023-04-01 and 2026-04-01. What has not been said is which schedule governs, whether any tranche is performance-conditioned, and what grant-date fair value was recognized. It is also unclear why COO James Crawford is absent from the April 2022 officer roster (claims #13961-#13963).
The company disclosed $100 million term and $100 million revolving facilities with Silvergate Bank on 2022-08-02 (claims #13835, #13836), with $35 million drawn on the revolver (claim #13817). It then disclosed their termination on 2023-03-07, with the 0.50% prepayment charge and 90-day notice waived (claims #13180, #13181, #13182). What has not been said is the outstanding balance repaid at termination and the source of that cash. The filings also leave open whether the $50 million delayed draw (claim #13837) was ever used, whether the $25 million liquidity and $350 million adjusted net worth covenants were in compliance at exit (claims #13839, #13840), and how much of the company's cash, if any, was on deposit at Silvergate when it failed.
The company disclosed a 250 MW Abu Dhabi mining facility (claim #13064) and an $81.2 million joint-venture capital contribution (claim #12974). It also referenced an operational timeline that carries no date (claim #12975). What has not been said is the name of the JV counterparty, the company's ownership percentage and its share of the output, the physical site and power source, and a committed energization date.
The company guided on 2023-03-15 to 23 EH/s by 2023-09-30 (claims #12955, #12971, #12979, #13057). That guidance was tied to 57,000 units at Ellendale ND (claims #12959, #13050, #12960) and to 10,400 air-cooled and 768 immersion units at Jamestown ND (claims #12961, #12962, #13052), all now marked delayed. What has not been said is the hashrate actually achieved at the deadline and the specific cause of each site's slip. The filings also do not name the hosting counterparties at Ellendale, Jamestown, Kearney NE (claim #13103) and Plano TX (claim #13102, contract expiring 2027-06-01). Nor do they give a date for energizing the full 200,000-unit fleet (claim #12956).
The company disclosed an SEC comment letter on accounting matters and a financial statements restatement on 2023-02-27 (claims #13318, #13320). It also disclosed a 2022 Form 10-K expected by 2023-03-16 that was delayed (claim #13319). What has not been said is which periods and line items were restated, the dollar impact on net income and equity, whether the comment letter has been fully resolved, and whether a material weakness in internal controls was identified.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-14The company disclosed on 2022-10-16 a settlement payment to former CEO Merrick D. Okamoto and payments to "five other individuals including director and current CEO" (claims #13531, #13532), with the amounts recorded as 24.0 and 1.0 and no units. On 2023-03-15 it restated these as $24.0 million to Okamoto and $2.1 million to "seven other recipients" (claims #12986, #12987). What has not been said is why the recipient count changed from five to seven, how much of the $2.1 million went to CEO and Chairman Fred Thiel and to the named director, and whether the board's independent directors or a special committee approved a settlement that paid the sitting CEO.
The company disclosed on 2022-08-02 a $100 million term loan and a $100 million revolver with Silvergate Bank (claims #13836, #13835), and on 2022-08-08 a $35 million revolver draw (claim #13817). On 2023-03-07 it terminated both facilities, with Silvergate waiving the 90-day notice and the 0.50% prepayment charge (claims #13180, #13181, #13182). What has not been said is the principal outstanding at termination, what cash funded the repayment, whether the $250,000 contingent draw-fee refund tied to 2022-11-25 was ever received (claim #13838), and how much Marathon cash or collateral was still on deposit at Silvergate during that bank's wind-down.
The company disclosed on 2023-03-15 an $81.2 million capital contribution to an Abu Dhabi mining joint venture (claim #12974). The same filing records the FS Innovation joint venture at 406,000 thousand USD, a target that is now delayed past 2023-12-31 (claim #13056). What has not been said is whether $406 million is the total venture size or Marathon's commitment, what ownership percentage the $81.2 million buys, and what megawatt capacity and energization date sit behind the undated "operational timeline" (claim #12975).
The company guided on 2023-03-15 to 23 EH/s by 2023-09-30 (claims #12955, #12971, #12979, #13057), to 57,000 rigs energized at Ellendale, ND by 2023-06-30 (claims #12959, #13050), and to a 200,000-unit full fleet (claim #12956). All of these dated targets are now marked delayed. It also named Applied Digital as a hosting partner (claim #13055). What has not been said is the actual hashrate and rig count on each deadline, which hosting counterparty's delay caused the Ellendale slip, and the megawatts, per-kWh pricing and term of the Applied Digital hosting contract.
The company disclosed a 19 MW immersion-cooling expansion at Garden City, TX, now delayed past 2023-12-31 (claims #12958, #12981, #13049). It said the site had regulatory approval (claim #13060) and cited a 4,000-rig deployment at McCamey, TX (claims #12957, #12980). What has not been said is which regulator granted the approval, whether an ERCOT interconnection agreement was executed and for what load, and who owns or hosts each site. Separately, the Jamestown, ND immersion contract was due to expire on 2026-08-01 and is now marked delayed (claim #13099). The company has not said whether that contract was renewed, extended or exited, or what happened to the 10,400-unit air-cooled expansion (claim #13097).
The company disclosed on 2023-02-27 an SEC comment letter on accounting matters and a restatement of its financial statements, and delayed its 2022 Form 10-K past 2023-03-16 (claims #13318, #13320, #13319). What has not been said is which periods were restated, the dollar impact on revenue, impairment and equity, and whether the restatement produced a material-weakness finding or affected the $350 million minimum net worth covenant then in force (claim #13839).
What we aren't being told
2026-09-14The company disclosed on 2022-10-16 a settlement payment to former CEO Merrick D. Okamoto recorded as 24.0 USD (claim #13531), and separate settlement payments to five individuals, including a director and the current CEO, recorded as 1.0 USD (claim #13532). What has not been said is the unit behind these figures, since they are almost certainly millions rather than dollars. Also missing: what claims were settled, who funded the payments (company, insurer or individuals), and how much went to the sitting CEO and director. That last point is related-party context a proxy reader would expect.
The company disclosed on 2023-03-15 an Abu Dhabi mining joint venture with FS Innovation with 250 MW of initial capacity (claims #12951, #12952, #12973). It cited an $81.2 million capital commitment (claim #12977), but capital contributions were recorded as 406,000 USD (claim #12953). What has not been said is how those two figures reconcile, what Marathon's ownership percentage and share of the commitment are, and where the facility physically sits and connects to the grid. Operations were promised by 2023-12-31 and are marked delayed (claims #12977, #13076), so when did hashing actually begin, and at what energized MW?
The company disclosed on 2023-03-15 that Ellendale, ND would begin energizing 57,000 units by 2023-03-31 (claims #12960, #12982, #12967). It also disclosed 10,400 air-cooled and 768 immersion units at Jamestown, ND (claims #12961, #12962, #13097) and a 200,000-unit full-fleet target (claim #12956). All of the dated items are delayed, and the fleet target has no date. What has not been said is who hosts or operates these sites and what caused the slippage. Also unsaid: the Jamestown immersion contract was set to expire 2026-08-01 (claim #13099), so was it renewed, and with which counterparty?
The company disclosed on 2023-03-15 an unsecured claim of $40 million in the Compute North bankruptcy (claim #12985). What has not been said is how much has been recovered or written off. It is also unclear which of the announced hosted deployments depended on Compute North sites, and how that exposure was replaced.
The company disclosed on 2023-02-27 an SEC comment letter on accounting matters and a restatement of financial statements (claims #13318, #13320). The 2022 Form 10-K, expected by 2023-03-16, is marked delayed (claim #13319). What has not been said is which periods and line items were restated and by how much. The underlying accounting issue in the SEC letter is also undisclosed, as is whether the letter was formally resolved and when the 10-K was actually filed.
The company disclosed on 2022-09-01 and 2022-09-11 RSU grants of 500,000 units to CEO Fred Thiel, 150,000 each to the COO and CFO, and 25,000 to the CAO (claims #13705 through #13708 and #13667 through #13670). The CEO's first milestone is dated 2022-04-26, before the grant was disclosed, and the COO and CAO schedules run to 2026-04-01. What has not been said is the grant-date fair value and whether any performance conditions apply. Also unsaid: whether these awards have fully vested or been forfeited as of today. Separately, the company terminated its Silvergate Bank facilities on 2023-03-07 with fee and notice waivers (claims #13180, #13181, #13182, #13195), so what balance was repaid, and what financing replaced it?
What we aren't being told
2026-09-14The company disclosed settlement payments to former CEO Merrick D. Okamoto on 2022-10-16, cited as claim #13531, recorded at an unitless "24.0 USD." A later filing on 2023-03-15, cited as claim #12986, puts the figure at $24,000 thousand. The related payments to others are harder to reconcile. Claim #13532 describes "five other individuals including director and current CEO" at "1.0 USD," while claim #12987 describes "seven other recipients" totaling $2.1 million. What has not been said is who the recipients were, why the count grew from five to seven, how much went to the sitting CEO and to the director, and whether these RSU cash settlements were reviewed as related-party transactions.
The company disclosed a 250 MW Abu Dhabi mining facility and an $81.2 million joint venture capital contribution on 2023-03-15, cited as claims #13086 and #12974. It also referenced an operational commencement and timeline, cited as claims #13087 and #12975, but gave no promised date. What has not been said is who the joint venture partner is, what economic and governance share the company holds for its $81.2 million, where the site is physically located and how it is interconnected and powered, and when the 250 MW is expected to be energized.
The company guided to 23 EH/s of operational hashrate by 2023-09-30, repeated across claims #12955, #12971, #12979, #13057, #13067, #13075 and #13088, all now marked delayed. That guidance depended on a 57,000-unit Ellendale, ND deployment, and the target date for it differs between filings: 2023-03-31 in claim #13070 and 2023-06-30 in claims #12959, #13050 and #13080. It also depended on a 10,400-unit Jamestown, ND deployment due 2023-03-31, cited as claims #12983, #13081 and #13097. What has not been said is which Ellendale date governs, who hosts or operates these sites, what hashrate was actually achieved on the guidance date, and when the 200,000-unit full-fleet energization target in claim #12956 is now expected.
The company disclosed a 19 MW immersion-cooling expansion at Garden City, TX due by 2023-12-31, cited as claims #12981, #13069 and #13079. It also said a regulatory approval for that site was pending, cited as claims #13060 and #13091. What has not been said is which regulator or grid operator must grant the approval, what exactly is being approved (interconnection, load, or permitting), whether it has since been granted, and who owns and operates the facility.
The company disclosed an SEC comment letter on accounting matters and a restatement of its financial statements on 2023-02-27, cited as claims #13318 and #13320. On the same date it expected to file its 2022 Form 10-K by 2023-03-16, cited as claim #13319, which is marked delayed. The Chief Accounting Officer appointment is tied to a 2022-11-21 date, cited as claims #12976 and #13062. What has not been said is which periods and line items were restated, the dollar impact, whether a material weakness in internal controls was identified, and whether the comment letter has been fully resolved.
The company disclosed on 2023-03-07 that its Silvergate Bank loan facilities were terminated, cited as claims #13180 and #13194. Silvergate waived the 0.50% prepayment charge and the 90-day notice requirement, cited as claims #13181, #13182, #13195 and #13196. What has not been said is the outstanding balance repaid at termination, the source of the repayment funds, and whether any collateral or deposits remained at Silvergate. The filings also leave open whether the Jamestown, ND immersion contract expiring 2026-08-01, cited as claim #13099, was renewed, and whether the delayed Coshocton, OH exit in claim #13101 was ever completed.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-14The company disclosed a settlement payment to former CEO Merrick D. Okamoto on 2022-10-16, cited as claim #13531, recorded as 24.0 USD. It also disclosed payments to five other individuals, including a director and the current CEO, cited as claim #13532, recorded as 1.0 USD. The units are almost certainly not literal dollars, and what has not been said is the actual magnitude, how the second amount was split among the five recipients, how much went to the sitting CEO and the director, what dispute or obligation the payments resolved, and whether the company or insurers funded them.
The company disclosed a 20% stake in an Abu Dhabi mining joint venture with FS Innovation on 2023-03-15, cited as claims #12951, #13063 and #13084. The venture carries total capital contributions recorded variously as 406,000 USD, 406,000 USD thousands and 406,000,000 USD (claims #12953, #13056, #13085), and a company commitment recorded as 81,200 USD, 81,200 thousand USD and 81.2 million USD (claims #13074, #12977, #13066). What has not been said is the unambiguous dollar figure, the contribution schedule and how much had already been paid, how the commitment is funded, and whether Marathon has control or consolidation rights at a 20% interest. The same filing gives the 250 MW facility (claims #12952, #12973, #13064, #13077) an operational date of 2023-07-01 in claim #13065 but 2023-12-31 in claims #13058 and #13076. Which date governs, and where is the physical site, what is its power source, and what are its interconnection terms?
The company disclosed a $40 million unsecured claim in the Compute North bankruptcy on 2023-03-15, cited as claim #12985. In the same filing it announced a hosting partnership with Applied Digital (claim #13055) and 57,000 units at Ellendale, ND, due for energization by 2023-03-31 (claims #12960, #12967, #12982) but for deployment by 2023-06-30 (claim #12959). What has not been said is the expected recovery on or impairment of the Compute North claim, whether Ellendale is the Applied Digital site, what hosting rates and MW apply there, and why the energization and deployment dates differ by a quarter.
The company disclosed on 2023-03-07 that its Silvergate Bank loan facilities were terminated, cited as claims #13180 and #13194, with the 0.50% prepayment charge and the 90-day notice requirement waived (claims #13181, #13182, #13195, #13196). What has not been said is the outstanding balance repaid, the source of the repayment cash, which collateral was released, and whether any deposits or other exposure remained at Silvergate when the bank failed days later.
The company disclosed on 2023-02-27 an SEC comment letter on accounting matters and a restatement of its financial statements, cited as claims #13318 and #13320, with the 10-K expected by 2023-03-16 (claim #13319). What has not been said is which periods and line items were restated, the dollar impact on revenue, impairments or digital-asset balances, and whether a material weakness in internal controls was identified. The filing also records Hugh Gallagher's appointment as CFO with a date of 2022-03-31 (claim #13061) but gives no compensation terms. How was the CFO's pay structured, and did any incentive pay tie to the periods that were restated?
The company disclosed hosting contracts at McCamey, TX expiring 2027-08-01 and Garden City, TX expiring 2027-07-01 on 2023-03-15, cited as claims #13090 and #13093. It also disclosed unit or MW expansions at McCamey, Garden City, Jamestown and Kearney (claims #12965, #12966, #12968, #12969, #13073) and an exit from Coshocton, OH by 2023-06-30 (claim #13053). What has not been said is who the hosting counterparties at the Texas sites are, their power pricing and renewal terms, the MW and exahash equivalents of the unit counts, and the reason for leaving Coshocton, including any write-down and where those machines were redeployed.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-13The company disclosed on 2023-03-15 an Abu Dhabi mining joint venture with FS Innovation, a 20 percent stake, an $81.2 million capital commitment and $406 million in total project contributions, cited as claims #13063, #12977, #12974, #12953 and #13056; what has not been said is when the $81.2 million is due, whether Marathon must fund more if the project runs over budget, and who ultimately controls FS Innovation. The same filing gives two start dates for the 250 MW facility, 2023-07-01 in claims #13065 and #12978 and 2023-12-31 in claim #13058, and names no site, power source or grid connection. So which date is the real commitment, and where does the power come from?
The company disclosed on 2023-03-15 a $24.0 million RSU settlement payment to Merrick Okamoto and $2.1 million paid to seven other people, cited as claims #12986 and #12987; what has not been said is who the seven are, why these awards were settled in cash rather than shares, and what the board or compensation committee approved and why. Given the size of the chairman's payment next to everyone else's, did he have any role in approving it?
The company disclosed on 2023-03-15 a $40.0 million unsecured claim in the Compute North bankruptcy, cited as claim #12985, alongside a hosting partnership with Applied Digital, cited as claim #13055; what has not been said is how much of the $40 million Marathon expects to recover, how much has already been written off, and which rigs and sites were hosted by Compute North. The Applied Digital deal has no disclosed megawatts, price per unit of power or contract length.
The company disclosed on 2023-03-15 a Jamestown, ND immersion hosting contract expiring 2026-08-01, cited as claim #13099, along with 10,400 air-cooled and 768 immersion units at that site, cited as claims #12983, #12984, #13051 and #13052; what has not been said is whether the contract was renewed, extended or allowed to lapse, and if it lapsed, where those machines went and what hashrate was lost. That expiration date has now passed.
The company disclosed on 2023-03-07 that it terminated its Silvergate Bank loan facilities and that Silvergate waived the 0.50 percent prepayment charge and the 90-day notice requirement, cited as claims #13180, #13194, #13181, #13195, #13182 and #13196; what has not been said is the principal balance repaid, the dollar value of the waived charge, where the repayment cash came from, and whether any Marathon deposits or collateral were still at Silvergate when the bank wound down days later.
The company disclosed on 2023-03-15 a target of 23 EH/s by Q3 2023 and full energization of a 200,000-unit fleet, cited as claims #12971, #12979, #12955 and #12956; what has not been said is the target date for the 200,000 units or who hosts the 57,000 Ellendale, ND units. The Ellendale energization date is itself given two ways, 2023-03-31 in claim #12982 and 2023-06-30 in claim #13050. Relatedly, what did the Coshocton, OH exit (claim #13053) cost, where were its rigs moved, and which regulator's approval is still needed at Garden City, TX (claim #13060)?
What we aren't being told
2026-09-13The company disclosed an incremental $30 million investment in Auradine, Inc. on 2023-04-27, cited as claims #12686 and #12691, alongside a board seat for CEO Fred Thiel and broader executive and board representation at Auradine (claims #12687 and #12692). What has not been said is Marathon's cumulative investment and resulting ownership percentage, the valuation at which the tranche was priced, whether Thiel or other Marathon executives receive compensation or equity from Auradine for those seats, and whether Marathon has any committed or contemplated purchases of Auradine hardware. Without those figures, how should a reader assess the related-party conflict?
The company disclosed an Abu Dhabi bitcoin mining joint venture on 2023-05-09, cited as claim #12646. What has not been said is the name of the counterparty, the ownership split, Marathon's capital commitment, the planned hashrate or megawatt capacity, the site location, and the energization timeline. Who is the partner, and how much of the venture's economics does Marathon actually hold?
The company disclosed a $14.25 million Series A Preferred private placement on 2023-06-08, cited as claims #12532 and #12486, with a $14.52 conversion price (claim #12487) and a $1,050 redemption amount (claim #12488). What has not been said is who bought the preferred, how many shares were issued, whether any purchaser is an insider or affiliate, what triggers redemption, and why a company of Marathon's scale raised this relatively small sum through a bespoke preferred instrument rather than its existing equity programs. What is the maximum dilution on conversion, and what was the use of proceeds?
The company disclosed Hugh Gallagher as Chief Financial Officer at $475,000 on 2023-04-27, cited as claims #12683 and #12694, and then Salman Khan's appointment as CFO at the same $475,000 base with a $125,000 signing bonus less than two months later (claims #12456, #12480, #12489, #12491). What has not been said is why Gallagher left or changed roles, whether he received severance or accelerated vesting, and whether the transition involved any disagreement over accounting or controls. What did the CFO change cost the company in total?
The company disclosed Khan's 297,247-unit RSU grant with vesting through 2027-07-01 (claims #12493, #12519, #12483), but the same grant also appears with a 2024-07-01 date (claims #12539, #12459) and a 74,312-unit first tranche (claim #12433). Separately, Chief Growth Officer Adam Swick's award appears as 166,817 units on 2023-06-12 (claim #12522) and as 212,817 units on 2023-06-22 (claim #12429). What explains the 46,000-unit difference in Swick's award? Also, what performance metrics govern Khan's eligibility for long-term incentive awards of up to 300% of salary (claims #12494, #12540)?
The company disclosed a CEO salary figure of $750,000 for 2022 on 2023-04-27, cited as claim #12693, and then a $50,000 base salary increase plus a 500,000-unit RSU grant for Fred Thiel on 2023-05-02 (claims #12664 and #12663). The vesting of that grant is shown as running to 2027-05-02 in one place and to 2024-04-26 in others (claims #12426 and #12524). What has not been said is whether $750,000 is the base salary or total cash compensation, what the post-increase base is, whether any of the 500,000 units are performance-conditioned, and what the grant-date fair value of the award was.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-13The company disclosed an Abu Dhabi bitcoin mining joint venture on 2023-05-09, cited as claim #12646; what has not been said is who the joint venture partner is, how ownership and capital commitments are split, and how many megawatts or exahash the venture targets at what site and energization date. Without a named counterparty, a capacity figure with units, or a physical location and power arrangement, how is a reader supposed to size this venture against the rest of the fleet?
The company disclosed a $14.25 million Series A Preferred Stock private placement on 2023-06-08, with a $14.52 conversion price and a $1,050 redemption figure, cited as claims #12486, #12532, #12487, #12488 and #12533; what has not been said is who bought the preferred, whether any purchaser is a related party, how many shares were issued, and what dividend rate applies. Is the $1,050 a per-share stated value with a 5% redemption premium, and how does the $14.52 conversion price compare with the common stock price on the pricing date?
The company disclosed CFO Salman Khan's package in June 2023, including 297,247 RSUs, a 100% annual bonus target and 300% long-term incentive eligibility, cited as claims #12539, #12493, #12459, #12433, #12537 and #12540; what has not been said is what the 300% and 100% are measured against, and which performance metrics govern the bonus and LTIP awards. The same grant is recorded with end dates of both 2024-07-01 and 2027-07-01. Is the 74,312-unit tranche one of four equal annual installments, and does the $125,000 signing bonus carry a clawback if he leaves early?
The company disclosed Chief Growth Officer Adam Swick's RSU award as 166,817 units in claim #12522, but as 212,817 units in claims #12429 and #12225, with a first tranche of 41,704 units in claims #12436 and #12220; what has not been said is what the 46,000-unit difference represents. The 41,704-unit tranche is exactly one quarter of 166,817, not of 212,817. Is the extra block a separate grant, and if so, what are its terms and vesting conditions?
The company disclosed a 500,000-unit RSU grant to CEO Fred Thiel with a 2024-04-26 date, cited as claims #12524, #12426 and #12221; what has not been said is whether this is a single cliff or a tranche schedule, as with the other officers, and whether any performance conditions apply. No CEO salary, bonus target or long-term incentive multiple appears alongside the detailed CFO terms, so how does the CEO's total target compensation compare?
The company disclosed an increase in the share authorization under its 2018 Employee Incentive Plan and a General Counsel and Corporate Secretary appointment on 2023-11-12, cited as claims #6539 and #6540; what has not been said is how many shares were added to the plan and what dilution that implies against the roughly 1.36 million RSUs already granted to named officers. The record also gives no name or compensation terms for the General Counsel. Did the board ratification of Marcum LLP as FY2023 auditor, cited as claims #12430 and #12525, come with any disclosure of audit fees, non-audit services, or remediation of prior control weaknesses?
What we aren't being told
2026-09-13The company disclosed on 2023-12-18 a $178.65 million acquisition of GC Data Center Equity Holdings (claim #6401), closed 2024-01-15 (claim #6379), and then carried it at $183.8 million in the 2024-05-08 filing (claim #6206). What has not been said is what makes up the roughly $5.15 million difference, such as working-capital adjustments, transaction costs or assumed liabilities. Nor has the company said whether the $15 million Expansion Payment earn-out (claim #6402), which depends on ERCOT approval for the Granbury, TX expansion (claim #6403), has been earned, paid or written off. What MW of interconnection does that ERCOT approval cover?
The company disclosed on 2024-11-18 plans to repurchase about $199 million of its 2026 convertible notes with offering proceeds (claim #5425). On 2024-11-20 that figure was $212 million (claim #5400), after the deal was upsized from $850 million priced (claim #5422) to $1 billion completed (claim #5398). What has not been said is the principal repurchased versus the cash paid, and which holders were counterparties. The disclosure also leaves open how much of the $980 million net (claim #5399) was used to buy bitcoin (claims #5401, #5426), at what average price, and on what date. The underlying records give these amounts as bare figures such as "850.0 USD" and "980.0 USD", so the millions scale is inferred and not stated.
The company disclosed on 2024-11-20 a conversion term of "25.9133 USD per share" (claim #5402), with a 2027-12-01 holder put (claim #5405) and a 2030-03-01 maturity (claim #5403). That number reads like a conversion rate in shares per $1,000 principal, implying roughly $38.59 per share, rather than a dollar price. What has not been said is which it is. The company also has not said whether a capped call or other hedge was bought to offset dilution, and how the 2027 put would be funded if the stock trades below conversion.
The company disclosed on 2024-10-14 a $200 million line of credit (claim #5574), and on 2024-05-08 an electricity commodity swap running to 2027-12-31 (claim #6208). What has not been said is the lender, the collateral (in particular whether bitcoin is pledged), the interest rate and the amount drawn under the credit line. For the swap, the undisclosed details are the counterparty, the notional MWh, the fixed strike price and which facility's load it hedges.
The company disclosed on 2024-02-01 FY 2023 LTIP grants of $22.4 million to Fred Thiel and $13.3 million to Salman Khan (claims #6294, #6295). Those grants are more than 20 times their FY 2024 base salaries of $950,000 and $625,000 (claims #6300, #6301). On 2023-08-27 it separately recorded a 500,000-RSU grant to Thiel with no vesting date (claim #12221). What has not been said is which performance metrics, if any, govern vesting and how those RSU grants relate to the dollar LTIP values. The company also has not reconciled them with the 15 million-share plan increase (claim #5962) and the $489.3 million Q1 2024 ATM issuance (claim #6207). What is the total annual dilution attributable to equity compensation?
The company disclosed on 2024-09-04 the resignations of directors Kevin DeNuccio and Said Ouissal (claims #5796, #5797), the same-day appointments of Janet George and Barbara Humpton (claims #5798, #5799), and a corporate name change (claim #5800). What has not been said is whether either departure involved any disagreement with management and what committee seats were vacated. It is also not stated whether the new directors have any prior commercial or related-party ties to the company. Similarly, the General Counsel appointment on 2023-11-12 (claim #6540) is recorded without the appointee's name or employment terms.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-13Marathon Digital disclosed the GC Data Center Equity Holdings acquisition at two different values: $178.65 million on 2023-12-18 (claim #6401) and $183.8 million on 2024-05-08 (claim #6206), alongside mention of a separate $15 million earnout in claim #6402. What has not been disclosed is whether the December figure represents the base purchase price, what drove the $5.15 million difference between announcement and closing, whether earnouts were already achieved or remain contingent, and the specific capacity megawatts or other metrics that trigger the earnout payment.
Claims #6402 and #6403 disclose contingent consideration tied to "Expansion Payment...for data center capacity additions" ($15 million) and ERCOT regulatory approval for the Granbury, TX facility, but provide no capacity targets, timeline windows, or probability assessments. An analyst asking on the next earnings call would want to know: what specific MW or power consumption levels must be achieved, by what date must ERCOT approval be obtained to avoid losing the earnout, and what is the likelihood of achievement given current facility status?
Claim #6207 states Marathon raised $489.3 million in an "At-the-Market Offering Q1 2024" but does not disclose the average selling price per share, total shares issued, or whether proceeds were actually deployed. A first-year analyst would ask: at what price range was the ATM executed, what was the total shareholder dilution from this offering, and can you reconcile the $489 million raised to shares outstanding?
Claims #6308-6311 and #6306-6307 name five executives with FY 2024 bonus targets ranging from $406,250 (John Lee, claim #6311) to $2.1375 million (Fred Thiel, claim #6306), yet nowhere discloses the performance metrics—such as hash rate per dollar, power efficiency targets, or bitcoin acquisition volume—tied to actual payout percentages. What has not been said is what operational milestones determine whether these bonuses are paid at 50%, 100%, or above target.
Claims #6294-6299 disclose five executives received FY 2023 LTIP grants totaling roughly $48 million, including Fred Thiel's $22.4 million (claim #6294), but provide no information on vesting schedules, strike prices for equity awards, or performance conditions governing achievement. An analyst would need to know: are these restricted stock or options, what is the four-year vest schedule, and are any tied to hash rate, bitcoin price, or operational milestones?
Marathon disclosed multiple convertible note offerings in November-December 2024—a $1 billion completion (claim #5398), a $700 million new offering (claim #5348), and up to $212 million in repurchases of 2026 notes (claim #5400)—but does not provide a single consolidated statement of total convertible debt outstanding, blended conversion price, or fully diluted share count impact. What remains undisclosed is the company's total convertible debt position today and the aggregate dilution from these securities at current stock price versus the $25.91 conversion rate cited in claim #5402.
Multiple claims (5426, 5401, 5350, 5346) state Marathon intends to use convertible offering proceeds to acquire bitcoin, but none specifies quantity or pricing targets. For a bitcoin mining and acquisition company, the absence of disclosed bitcoin purchase volume and average cost per bitcoin—given that the company just raised $1.85 billion in gross proceeds—represents a gap a sophisticated reader would expect to be filled.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-13The company disclosed the acquisition of GC Data Center Equity Holdings in December 2023 cited as claim #6401 for $178.65M, later refined as claim #6206 for $183.8M in May 2024, along with a $15M earn-out for facility capacity additions (claim #6402) and an ERCOT approval earn-out (claim #6403); what has not been said is the specific megawatt-hour or power capacity targets that trigger these earn-outs, the timeline for achievement, or the physical location and grid interconnection details of the facility. The company raised $1 billion in convertible notes in November 2024 (claim #5398) and an additional $700 million in December 2024 (claim #5348), disclosing the conversion price of $25.9133 per share (claim #5402) and maturity date of 2030 (claim #5403); what has not been disclosed is the coupon rate or annual interest cost on these convertible notes, leaving investors unable to model Marathon's annual debt service cash obligations. The company announced plans on multiple occasions to acquire additional bitcoin with proceeds from convertible offerings (claims #5401, #5350, #5311); what has not been stated is the specific quantity of bitcoin to be acquired, the price per bitcoin or pricing mechanism, or the timeline for acquisition, despite approximately $1.68 billion in convertible proceeds alone being earmarked for this purpose. The company secured a $200 million line of credit in October 2024 (claim #5574); what has not been provided is the interest rate, lender identity, collateral pledged, financial covenants, or maturity date—material terms that affect borrowing capacity and financial flexibility. An energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging was mentioned with a maturity date of December 31, 2027 (claim #6208); what has not been disclosed is the notional MWh volume, counterparty, pricing mechanism, or which specific facilities or operations it covers. At-the-market equity offerings totaling $489.3 million in Q1 2024 (claim #6207) were announced without stating the average share price or share count sold, preventing investors from calculating dilution.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-13The company disclosed on 2023-12-18 (claim 6401) and again on 2024-05-08 (claim 6206) the acquisition of GC Data Center Equity Holdings for $178.65M and $183.8M respectively, but did not name the seller or explain the discrepancy between these two amounts; a sophisticated reader would expect the counterparty identity and acquisition structure details, especially given the earn-out provisions tied to facility expansion (claims 6402, 6403). The company announced plans on multiple dates in late 2024 (claims 5426, 5401, 5350, 5346) to acquire "additional bitcoin" using proceeds from convertible note offerings totaling nearly $1.7B, but never disclosed the quantity of bitcoin purchased, intended purchase prices, or timing; an analyst would immediately ask for specific bitcoin volume and acquisition cost on the next earnings call. The company stated on 2024-05-08 (claim 6208) that it entered an energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging with a 2027-12-31 deadline, but provided no notional value, facility coverage, counterparty, or hedging ratios; capacity planners would want to know which of its data centers are hedged and to what extent. The Granbury, TX facility expansion that triggered an ERCOT approval earn-out (claim 6403) was announced without disclosing the actual megawatt capacity addition or the interconnection point specifications; physical interconnection details are material to validating the earn-out conditions (claim 6402). The $489.3M At-the-Market offering (claim 6207) was disclosed on 2024-05-08 without stating the share count issued, price range during the offering period, or timing of draws; an investor would expect these execution metrics alongside the gross proceeds. The $200M secured line of credit announced on 2024-10-14 (claim 5574) was disclosed without naming the lender, stating the interest rate, or describing any financial covenants; covenant and rate information is standard in credit facility disclosures.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-12The company reported the GC Data Center Equity Holdings acquisition at $178.65 million in December 2023 (claim #6401) but revised the purchase price to $183.8 million in May 2024 (claim #6206); what has not been disclosed is what accounts for the $5.15 million discrepancy and whether this reflects additional purchase price adjustments, earn-out acceleration, or integration costs. Marathon disclosed plans to use approximately $2 billion in convertible notes proceeds to acquire bitcoin across multiple announcements in November and December 2024 (claims #5401, #5346, #5350, #5311), yet has not disclosed the actual bitcoin holdings acquired, the average cost basis, or the timing and execution pace of purchases relative to the offering closings. The company secured a $200 million line of credit in October 2024 (claim #5574), but what has not been disclosed is the interest rate, covenant structure, the amount (if any) drawn to date, and the intended use of proceeds or operational purpose the facility serves. Marathon announced the Granbury, Texas facility expansion as part of the GC Data Center acquisition (claim #6403) with an associated $15 million earn-out for capacity additions (claim #6402), but has not disclosed the baseline or post-expansion MW capacity, megahash rate, or power consumption specifications of the facility. The company completed a $1 billion convertible notes offering in November 2024 (claim #5398) and a $700 million offering in December 2024 (claim #5348), with concurrent repurchases of 2026 convertible notes (claims #5349, #5400), but has not disclosed the total impact on share count, the weighted-average conversion price across all outstanding convertible notes, or the net capital raised after refinancing activities. Marathon disclosed an electricity commodity swap contract for hedging through December 31, 2027 (claim #6208), but has not disclosed the notional megawatt-hours covered, the fixed price or collar structure negotiated, or the percentage of the company's operational electricity consumption hedged by the contract.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-12The company disclosed acquisition of the GC Data Center facility in Granbury, TX for $178.65M–$183.8M (claims 6401, 6206) along with ERCOT approval for facility expansion and earn-out payments (claims 6403, 6402, 6404), yet has not disclosed the facility's actual power capacity in megawatts, current utilization rate, or specific grid interconnection specifications—standard metrics for infrastructure investors evaluating operational and competitive positioning. The company announced plans to acquire additional bitcoin using proceeds from $1.8 billion in convertible notes offerings in late 2024 (claims 5399, 5348, 5426, 5401, 5346), but has not disclosed the quantities of bitcoin actually purchased, prices paid per coin, timing of acquisitions, or total bitcoin holdings—critical operational metrics for a company whose returns depend on Bitcoin appreciation and whose capital allocation strategy centers on accumulation. Fred Thiel's FY 2023 LTIP grant of $22.4M and Salman Khan's $13.3M grant (claims 6294, 6295) are disclosed with explicit base salary and bonus targets for FY 2024 (claims 6300–6311), but without vesting schedules, performance conditions, or clawback provisions—standard proxy disclosure elements that would clarify whether equity compensation is genuinely at-risk or largely guaranteed. Claim 6208 discloses an "Energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging" running through December 31, 2027, but provides no detail on notional MW-hours hedged, strike prices, or cost of the hedge—information required to assess whether the company's material electricity cost exposure is substantively protected. The ATM offering of $489.3M priced in Q1 2024 (claim 6207) lacks disclosure of shares issued, average sale price, or deployment of proceeds—details expected in capital allocation transparency. The $200M line of credit secured in October 2024 (claim 5574) omits interest rate, maturity date, financial covenants, and draw status—material terms affecting the company's true liquidity and financial flexibility.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-11The company disclosed two different acquisition prices for GC Data Center Equity Holdings within six months—$178.65 million on 2023-12-18 (claim 6401) and $183.8 million on 2024-05-08 (claim 6206)—yet has not explained what accounts for the $5.15 million variance or identified the sellers and principals behind GC Data Center, LLC.
A facility capacity earn-out of $15 million for 'data center capacity additions' is stated on 2023-12-18 (claim 6402), but the company has not disclosed the specific megawatt capacity, physical site location, completion timeline, or how capacity will be measured and verified for earn-out purposes.
The company announced an ERCOT approval earn-out tied to a Granbury, Texas facility expansion on 2023-12-18 (claim 6403), but the dollar amount of this contingent liability—a material obligation tied to regulatory approval—is absent from all filings.
A $9.0125 million 'reverse termination fee' is recorded on 2023-12-18 (claim 6404), yet the company has not disclosed to whom the fee was paid, which agreement generated it, or the underlying commercial event it resolves.
Executive compensation filings from 2024-02-01 (claims 6294–6311) disclose significant LTIP grants to five named executives—most notably Salman Khan at $13.3 million and Fred Thiel at $22.4 million—but omit vesting schedules, performance conditions, and critical related-party context: whether any of these individuals hold equity in or have prior commercial ties to GC Data Center, and their roles (CEO, board chair, founder status) within Marathon's structure.
The company committed to an energy commodity swap for electricity hedging through 2027-12-31 on 2024-05-08 (claim 6208), but has disclosed neither the price ($/MWh) at which electricity was hedged, the total megawatt hours covered, the counterparty to the contract, nor the tenor-specific hedge ratios.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-11The company disclosed the GC Data Center Equity Holdings acquisition at $178,650,000 USD (claim 6401, December 2023), but subsequently reported the same acquisition at $183,800,000 USD (claim 6206, May 2024)—a ~$5.15M variance; what has not been said is whether this reflects earn-out adjustments, additional consideration, or revised calculations, and whether the difference maps to the contingent payments referenced in claims 6402 and 6403.
Claims 6402 and 6403 reference earn-outs totaling at least $15M (expansion payment and ERCOT approval contingency) tied to the GC Data Center acquisition; what has not been said is whether either published acquisition price ($178.65M or $183.8M) already incorporates these earn-outs, or whether they are additive liabilities triggered by future milestones.
The company announced a $1 billion convertible notes offering (claim 5398, November 2024) but cited "estimated net proceeds" as $833 USD (claim 5424) and "net proceeds" as $980 USD (claim 5399)—values that appear to omit units or be orders of magnitude wrong; what has not been said is the actual capital raised and whether these figures should read $833M, $980M, or something else entirely.
The company disclosed a $200M secured line of credit (claim 5574, October 2024) without specifying interest rate, pricing grid, financial covenants, tenor, or lender identity; what has not been said is whether this line is drawn or undrawn, what borrowing conditions apply, and when it matures—information material to assessing liquidity.
Claim 6404 states a $9,012,500 reverse termination fee as of December 2023, appearing amid the GC Data Center acquisition disclosures; what has not been said is which transaction triggered this fee, whether it was paid or remains contingent, and under what circumstances Marathon would owe it.
The company committed to an electricity hedging swap contract with maturity by December 31, 2027 (claim 6208, May 2024); what has not been said is the notional value or exposure being hedged, the strike price or pricing terms, which specific commodity or load profile is covered, and the settlement schedule—details that would inform risk assessment.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-11The company disclosed a $183.8 million acquisition of GC Data Center Equity Holdings, LLC on May 8, 2024 (claim 6206), but has not disclosed the physical location, nameplate capacity in megawatts, or mining hashrate of this asset, which are material operational details for evaluating a bitcoin mining company's competitive position and asset quality. An energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging was announced on May 8, 2024 with a promised date of December 31, 2027 (claim 6208), yet the company has not specified the notional contract size, strike prices, tenor, or which electricity price indices are being hedged, leaving the financial magnitude of this hedging instrument unexplained. The company disclosed ERCOT approval for a Granbury, Texas facility expansion earn-out on December 18, 2023 (claim 6403) and a related $15 million expansion payment earn-out (claim 6402), but has not specified the megawatt capacity to be added, the expected operational timeline, or total capex required, making it impossible to model the impact on future hashrate. Long-term incentive plan grants totaling $13.3 million for Salman Khan (claim 6295) and $22.4 million for Fred Thiel (claim 6294) were disclosed on February 1, 2024, but the company has not disclosed the vesting schedules, performance metrics, or actual achievement rates against those conditions, preventing assessment of executive wealth creation versus value delivered. A $200 million line of credit was reported as secured on October 14, 2024 (claim 5574), but the company has not disclosed the interest rate, financial covenants, debt maturity structure, or events of default, which are critical to evaluating financial flexibility. The company stated plans to acquire additional bitcoin using convertible notes proceeds in November and December 2024 (claims 5401, 5346, 5350), but has not disclosed the timing of actual bitcoin purchases, quantities acquired, or average purchase prices, leaving investors unable to track capital deployment.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-10The company disclosed acquisition of GC Data Center Equity Holdings for $178.65M–$183.8M (claims 6401, 6206) and $15M in expansion earn-outs (claim 6402) tied to regulatory approval for Granbury, TX facility expansion (claim 6403). What has not been said is the megawatt capacity at acquisition and post-expansion, grid interconnection specifications, or completion timeline for capacity additions. The company announced multiple convertible notes offerings with ambiguous quantitative notation: claim 5398 describes a "$1 billion convertible notes offering" but quantifies it as "1000.0 USD," while other claims list "700000000.0 USD" (claim 5348), "833.0 USD" (claim 5424), and "150.0 USD" (claims 5423, 5309) without clarifying whether amounts are in millions or literal dollars. What has not been said is consistent notation and explicit confirmation of total gross proceeds and net proceeds across all offerings announced between November and December 2024. The company disclosed an "Energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging" with a 2027-12-31 promised date (claim 6208) but no financial parameters. What has not been said is the notional contract value, percentage of operational load hedged, strike prices, counterparty identity, or what event or milestone triggers the stated maturity date. Marathon Digital announced plans to acquire bitcoin using convertible notes proceeds (claims 5426, 5401, 5346, 5350) without specifying acquisition strategy. What has not been said is target quantity of bitcoin, acquisition price or range, execution timeline and method, or custody and insurance arrangements. Fred Thiel's FY 2023 LTIP Grant was $22.4M (claim 6294), substantially exceeding peer executives—Salman Khan $13.3M, Ashu Swami $5.2M, Adam Swick $3.9M, James Crawford $4.0M (claims 6295–6296, 6298)—with no rationale disclosed. What has not been said is the performance metrics, vesting schedule, or explanation for the grant differential, including whether special signing, retention, or equity-related-party transaction provisions apply. A $200M line of credit was announced on 2024-10-14 (claim 5574) with no terms provided. What has not been said is the interest rate, maturity date, financial or operational covenants, lender identity, collateral pledged, or current drawdown status.

2026-09-10The company disclosed executive FY 2024 bonus targets for six named officers ranging from $406,250 to $2,137,500 on 2024-02-01 (claims 6306-6311), but disclosed no performance metrics, earnings thresholds, or other quantitative conditions that determine whether these bonuses are earned; a first-year analyst would ask what operational or financial hurdles must be cleared to trigger each payment. The company announced the GC Data Center Equity Holdings acquisition at $178.65 million USD on 2023-12-18 (claim 6401), then later disclosed the same transaction closed at $183.8 million USD on 2024-05-08 (claim 6206)—a 3% variance with no explanation for the difference, raising questions about whether earnouts, assumed liabilities, or other adjustments accounted for the spread. The company disclosed plans across multiple press releases in November and December 2024 to use convertible notes proceeds to acquire additional bitcoin (claims 5346, 5401, 5350, 5426), with four separate offerings totaling approximately $3.3 billion announced between 2024-11-18 and 2024-12-03 (claims 5422, 5342, 5343, 5307), yet no disclosure of actual bitcoin purchased, price paid, quantity held, or timing of acquisitions relative to each offering date. The company disclosed FY 2023 LTIP grant awards to five named officers totaling $48.5 million on 2024-02-01 (claims 6294-6299), but made no disclosure of vesting schedules, performance conditions, grant dates, or whether awards are time-based or performance-contingent. The company announced a $200 million secured line of credit on 2024-10-14 (claim 5574) but disclosed no interest rate, borrowing base, financial covenants, or lender identity. The company disclosed an earn-out payment of $15 million USD for facility capacity additions at Granbury, Texas on 2023-12-18 (claim 6402) but specified neither the target capacity in MW or rack units nor the timing of when this milestone must be achieved.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-10The company disclosed a $1 billion completed convertible notes offering on 2024-11-20 (claim 5398) with a conversion rate of $25.9133 per share and a 2030-03-01 maturity date (claims 5402, 5403), yet the annual coupon rate or interest percentage on these debt securities appears nowhere in the disclosed record; a sophisticated reader would expect that the cost of capital for a $1B debt instrument be prominently stated.
Marathon disclosed a $15 million expansion payment earn-out for data center capacity additions on 2023-12-18 (claim 6402) and an ERCOT approval earn-out for Granbury, TX facility expansion (claim 6403), but neither the target MW capacity required to trigger payment, the timeline for achievement, nor the specific interconnection or voltage requirements from ERCOT have been disclosed; an analyst would ask: how many megawatts must be added, by when, and what are the precise regulatory milestones?
The company raised $489.3 million through an at-the-market offering in Q1 2024 (claim 6207), yet the share price range, the average execution price, or the number of shares issued during the ATM period is not stated; this prevents an analyst from calculating dilution or understanding the capital-raising efficiency.
Marathon disclosed an "energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging" promised by 2027-12-31 (claim 6208), but no notional quantity of electricity being hedged (in MWh), the fixed and floating rate terms, the swap counterparty, or the strike prices are provided; an analyst would request these specifics to assess the actual cost of the hedging program.
The company secured a $200 million line of credit in October 2024 (claim 5574) with no disclosure of the interest rate or pricing, covenant requirements, maturity date, borrowing base calculation, or lender identity; an analyst would want to know the draw status and whether the facility is subject to leverage ratios or other operational restrictions.
While the company disclosed Fred Thiel's FY 2023 LTIP grant of $22.4 million (claim 6294) and other executive equity grants (claims 6295-6298), no employment agreements, change-of-control severance multiples, or accelerated vesting provisions triggered by an acquisition are stated; given the material size of these awards, investors expect disclosure of what happens to them in a transaction.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-09The company disclosed a $1 billion convertible notes offering completed on November 20, 2024 (claim 5398, net proceeds claim 5399), and a separate $700 million convertible notes offering announced December 1, 2024 (claim 5348, estimated proceeds claim 5344), with the December offering potentially reaching $850 million in principal (claim 5342). What has not been clarified is whether the December offering is truly a separate issuance or an alternative description of the same November deal—and if separate, what is the total aggregate convertible debt now outstanding, how it matures across the announced December 2026 and March 2030 dates, and why Marathon required two tranches within eleven days.
Marathon disclosed plans to acquire additional bitcoin using convertible notes proceeds (claims 5401, 5346) but has not disclosed the company's current bitcoin holdings, average cost basis, or what percentage of the new capital raises will actually be deployed to bitcoin purchases. Without this baseline, investors cannot model the true leverage implied by the convertible debt relative to the company's core asset position.
The company announced acquisition of GC Data Center Equity Holdings in Granbury, Texas for $178.65 million (claim 6401, closed claim 6379) with a $15 million earn-out for capacity additions (claim 6402), but has not disclosed the facility's precise address, current megawatt capacity, bitcoin hash rate potential, or the specific capacity milestones that trigger earn-out payments. These technical details are essential for assessing the acquisition's strategic fit within Marathon's mining portfolio.
Marathon disclosed an energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging with a maturity of December 31, 2027 (claim 6208) but has not stated the notional value, quantity of electricity (MWh) being hedged, strike price terms, or the identity of the counterparty. Without this information, investors cannot evaluate whether Marathon has meaningfully locked in energy costs or remains exposed to price volatility.
The company disclosed base salaries promised by January 1, 2024, for five named executives, including $950,000 for Fred Thiel and $625,000 for Salman Khan (claims 6300-6305), yet provided no explanation in the February 1, 2024 filing as to why these payments appear delayed or unpaid at the promised date—whether due to cash constraints or an intentional compensation restructuring. This omission raises questions about the company's liquidity position during that period.
Marathon disclosed a reverse termination fee of $9.0125 million on December 18, 2023 (claim 6404) with no explanation of which transaction triggered this liability, which counterparty is involved, or the circumstances under which the company became obligated to pay it. This material expense lacks the contextual disclosure that would allow investors to assess the underlying commitment and risk.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-09The company announced acquisition of GC Data Center Equity Holdings for $178.65M on December 18, 2023 (claim 6401), then reported the same acquisition for $183.8M on May 8, 2024 (claim 6206). What remains undisclosed is what accounts for the $5.15M difference—was this an earn-out that vested, revised purchase price adjustment, or contingent consideration that came into effect?
The company disclosed ERCOT approval for Granbury, TX facility expansion (claim 6403, December 18, 2023) and a $15M expansion payment earn-out for data center capacity additions (claim 6402, same date). What has not been disclosed is the actual capacity being added—megawatt count, rack density, or power consumption targets—without which investors cannot assess operational leverage or competitive positioning.
Fred Thiel's FY 2023 LTIP grant was disclosed as $22.4M (claim 6294, February 1, 2024), alongside similar multi-million-dollar grants for other executives including Salman Khan $13.3M (claim 6295), Adam Swick $3.9M (claim 6297), James Crawford $4.017M (claim 6296), and Ashu Swami $5.209M (claim 6298). What is absent from the proxy disclosure is the vesting schedule for these grants, performance conditions attached to them, and the grant-date stock prices.
The company completed a $1 billion convertible senior notes offering (claim 5398, November 20, 2024), followed by a $700M additional offering (claim 5348, December 1, 2024), with conversion prices disclosed at $25.9133 per share (claim 5402). What has not been disclosed is the coupon rate (annual interest rate) paid on these notes, a material financing cost.
An energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging with maturity December 31, 2027 was announced (claim 6208, May 8, 2024). What remains undisclosed is the notional amount of electricity being hedged (in MWh), the strike prices, and offsetting price terms—critical to understanding exposure management strategy.
A $200M secured line of credit was announced (claim 5574, October 14, 2024). What has not been specified is the interest rate spread over base rate, term length, and borrowing base formula—standard terms that would appear in any credit facility announcement and are essential to evaluating the company's cost of capital.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-09The company disclosed plans to acquire additional bitcoin with convertible notes proceeds (claims 5426, 5401, 5350, 5346, 5311, November–December 2024); what has not been said is the intended bitcoin purchase volumes, price targets, or execution timeline, despite bitcoin accumulation being positioned as a core capital allocation strategy.
The company disclosed a $15M expansion payment earn-out for the GC Data Center acquisition (claim 6402, December 2023); what has not been said is what data center capacity additions in megawatts are required to trigger this earn-out, by what date, and at what utilization threshold—information a first-year analyst would need to forecast whether the earn-out is likely or contingent.
Claim 6208 (May 2024) disclosed an energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging through December 2027; what has not been said is the notional volume hedged (MWh), locked-in price levels, counterparty identity, and what percentage of Marathon's total electricity consumption is covered—material details for understanding cost protection in a power-intensive mining operation.
The company announced a $200M line of credit (claim 5574, October 2024); what has not been said is the interest rate, financial covenants (debt-to-EBITDA, minimum liquidity), any borrowing base formula tied to bitcoin holdings, and the current drawn balance—all essential given Marathon's leverage and dual exposure to crypto and energy volatility.
Two disclosures reference the GC Data Center acquisition at different values: $178.65M in claim 6401 (December 2023) and $183.8M in claim 6206 (May 2024), with claim 6379 stating closure in January 2024; what has not been said is the reason for the $5.15M variance, whether it reflects price adjustments, assumption of liabilities, or earn-out prepayments.
Claim 6207 (May 2024) disclosed a $489.3M At-the-Market Offering in Q1 2024; what has not been said is the share price range, number of shares issued, the draw pattern across the quarter, or whether draws concentrated around market events—information needed to calculate actual dilution and understand capital raise timing.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-09The company announced two different acquisition prices for GC Data Center Equity Holdings within five months: $178.65 million in December 2023 (claim 6401) and $183.8 million in May 2024 (claim 6206), a $5.15 million difference—yet did not disclose whether this reflected earnout adjustments, additional working capital, or separate tranches of the same deal.
Marathon disclosed an energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging with a December 2027 maturity (claim 6208) but provided no detail on the MWh volume covered, strike pricing, or which mining facilities the hedge protects—standard derivative disclosures that would allow investors to assess operational risk exposure and whether the hedge meaningfully de-risks production.
The company announced plans to acquire bitcoin using convertible notes proceeds across multiple filings between November and December 2024 (claims 5401, 5346, 5311, and others), yet has not disclosed how much bitcoin was actually purchased, at what average price, or how much of the raised capital remains undeployed—leaving capital deployment execution opaque months after the raises closed.
Marathon announced ERCOT approval for a Granbury, Texas facility expansion with a conditional $15 million earn-out payment (claims 6402, 6403) but withheld the megawatt capacity being added, expected production lift, or timeline to completion—metrics any bitcoin miner's investor would require to evaluate capacity growth and cash deployment.
The company secured a $200 million line of credit (claim 5574) without disclosing interest rate, tenor, financial covenants, or the amount currently drawn versus available—information essential to understanding liquidity position and leverage flexibility.
Three board directors departed in September 2024 (Kevin DeNuccio, Said Ouissal; claims 5796, 5797) while two were appointed (claims 5798, 5799), but Marathon did not explain the departures or disclose any severance, retention, or special compensation arrangements tied to the transitions.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-08The company disclosed plans to acquire additional bitcoin with proceeds from convertible notes offerings exceeding $2 billion across multiple announcements (claims 5350, 5346, 5426, 5401), each specifying dollar amounts; what has not been disclosed is the intended quantity of bitcoin (in BTC) to be acquired at current or anticipated price levels, which would materially clarify the company's balance sheet composition and capital allocation strategy to equity investors.
The company announced an earn-out structure for Granbury, Texas facility expansion conditioned on ERCOT regulatory approval (claim 6403) and a separate $15 million earn-out for data center capacity additions (claim 6402); what has not been stated is the megawatt or computational capacity target for the Granbury expansion, the expected construction timeline and operational start date, or which other facilities would receive capacity-expansion funding under the earn-out.
The company disclosed an electricity commodity swap contract extending through December 31, 2027 (claim 6208); what has not been specified is what percentage of Marathon's total forecasted electricity consumption the hedge covers, the per-megawatt-hour pricing or collar structure, or which mining and data center facilities are included in the swap.
The company reported two different aggregate acquisition prices for GC Data Center Equity Holdings—$178.65 million in December 2023 (claim 6401) and $183.8 million in May 2024 (claim 6206)—notwithstanding the transaction closing in January 2024 (claim 6379); what has not been explained is whether this $5.15 million difference represents an adjustment to purchase price, contingent earn-out payment, or other consideration, and under what specific milestones it would be triggered.
The company raised $489.3 million through an At-the-Market Offering in Q1 2024 (claim 6207); what has not been disclosed is the number of shares issued in the offering and the weighted average price per share, metrics that would clarify the dilution to existing shareholders at the time of issuance.
The company identified a $9.0125 million reverse termination fee associated with the GC Data Center acquisition closing (claim 6404); what has not been specified is the contractual trigger for this fee (e.g., Marathon's financing failure, regulatory denial) and whether the fee was incurred or remains contingent on a future event.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-08The company disclosed an acquisition of GC Data Center Equity Holdings for $178.65 million on December 18, 2023 (claim 6401), then revised to $183.8 million on May 8, 2024 (claim 6206)—what was not said is the reason for this $5.15 million variance, or whether the earn-out provisions for capacity additions (claim 6402, $15 million) and ERCOT regulatory approval (claim 6403) were triggered and satisfied.
Marathon announced plans to acquire additional bitcoin using proceeds from convertible offerings on November 18, 2024 (claim 5426), with net proceeds of $980 million confirmed on November 20 (claim 5399) and additional proceeds of $835 million on December 2 (claim 5344)—what has not been said is the quantity of bitcoin actually purchased, the price per coin, or the timing of acquisitions.
The company announced and completed three convertible note offerings within 14 days: a completed $1 billion offering on November 20, 2024 (claim 5398), followed by an $850 million offering announced December 2 (claim 5348) and completed December 3 (claim 5307), with a greenshoe option (claim 5309)—what was not disclosed is whether these were separate offerings or revisions to a single offering, and why the conversion rate (claim 5402, $25.9133 per share) would apply across offerings weeks apart.
A secured $200 million line of credit was disclosed on October 14, 2024 (claim 5574)—what has not been said is the interest rate, maturity date, financial covenants, lender identity, and which assets secure the facility.
The company disclosed long-term incentive plan grants to executives with specific amounts in February 2024—Fred Thiel $22.4 million (claim 6294), Salman Khan $13.3 million (claim 6295), Ashu Swami $5.2 million (claim 6298)—but what was not stated are the vesting schedules, cliff periods, performance conditions, or settlement method (cash versus shares).
An electricity hedging swap contract was promised by December 31, 2027 (claim 6208)—what has not been disclosed is the notional MWh volume being hedged, strike prices, counterparty identity, or the cash flow mechanics of the contract.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-08The company announced "ERCOT approval earn-out for Granbury, TX facility expansion" on 2023-12-18 (claim #6403), but has not disclosed the target MW capacity being sought, the specific transmission interconnection point or substation at Granbury, or the timeline and financial triggers for the earn-out. What megawatt capacity is being approved by ERCOT, where exactly in Granbury is the facility physically located, and how much of the earn-out is contingent on achieving that capacity by a specific date?
The company disclosed an "Energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging" promised by end of 2027 on 2024-05-08 (claim #6208), but has not specified the notional MWh volume or dollar value of the hedge, the strike price or price collar, the ERCOT nodes or geographic footprint covered, or the counterparty's identity. How many MWh per year is being hedged at what price range, against which facilities, and with which counterparty?
The company announced a "$15,000,000 Expansion Payment earn-out for data center capacity additions" on 2023-12-18 (claim #6402) as part of the GC Data Center Equity Holdings acquisition, but has not defined the MW capacity thresholds that trigger payment, the timeline for achieving them, or whether the earn-out is all-or-nothing or staged. Additionally, the acquisition price increased from $178.65M (claim #6401, Dec 2023) to $183.8M (claim #6206, May 2024) without explanation. What is the target data center capacity in MW, by when must it be operational to trigger each earn-out tranche, and what caused the $5.15M price adjustment between announcement and close?
The company has stated its "plans to acquire additional bitcoin" with the proceeds of convertible notes offerings announced on 2024-11-20 (claim #5401), 2024-11-18 (claim #5426), 2024-12-02 (claim #5346), and 2024-12-01 (claim #5350), but has not disclosed the target dollar amount or BTC quantity, the assumed or targeted price per bitcoin, the timeline for execution, or confirmation of actual purchases to date. How much capital from the $1.55B+ in convertible offerings is committed to bitcoin acquisition, at what average price has bitcoin been purchased, and how much BTC does the company currently hold?
Between 2024-11-18 and 2024-12-03, the company announced multiple convertible notes offerings ($1B on claim #5398, $700M on claim #5348, $850M on claims #5307/#5342), creating ambiguity about whether these are separate offerings, tranches of a combined offering, or repricing of a prior deal. The disclosure does not clearly state the final principal amounts outstanding, their distinct conversion prices, or the combined debt burden incurred. What is the total principal amount of convertible notes now outstanding, what are the conversion prices for each offering, and what is the pro-forma share count at conversion?
The company disclosed FY2023 long-term incentive plan grants to its named executives on 2024-02-01 (claims #6294–#6299), ranging from $3.34M for John Lee to $22.4M for Fred Thiel, but has not specified the vesting schedule (cliff vs. ratable), the duration, performance metrics or conditions attached to each grant, or the basis for the 6.7x disparity between the highest and lowest grant. Over how many years does each LTIP vest, are there performance conditions beyond stock price appreciation, and what is the accounting valuation and dilution impact of each grant?
What we aren't being told
2026-09-07The company disclosed an acquisition price of $178.65M for GC Data Center Equity Holdings on 2023-12-18 (claim #6401) with closure announced on 2024-01-15 (claim #6379), but subsequently reported $183.8M on 2024-05-08 (claim #6206). What has not been clearly stated is whether this $5.15M difference represents earn-out adjustments tied to the $15M facility expansion payment condition (claim #6402), additional equity holdings acquired, or different accounting treatments between announcement and closing.
The company disclosed an "Energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging" on 2024-05-08 maturing 2027-12-31 (claim #6208) but provided no quantitative terms: megawatt-hours being hedged, price per unit, which facilities are covered, counterparty identity, or exact start date. For a data center operator managing substantial electricity load, the absence of these hedging volumes and pricing leaves material gap in understanding power cost management.
The company stated a $15M "Expansion Payment earn-out for data center capacity additions" on 2023-12-18 (claim #6402) alongside separate ERCOT approval conditions for Granbury, TX (claim #6403) but never specified the capacity threshold (in megawatts) triggering the payment, completion timeline, or whether both conditions pertain to the same expansion or separate facilities.
The company issued $1.85B in convertible senior notes principal across November-December 2024 (claims #5398, 5307) with conversion prices and maturity dates disclosed, but what has not been stated is the coupon rate or annual interest expense—material for debt service forecasting and cost-of-capital analysis.
The company announced plans to acquire additional bitcoin using convertible notes proceeds (claims #5401, 5346, 5350) with net proceeds ranging $835.1M–$980M (claims #5399, 5308), but did not disclose the quantity of bitcoin actually acquired, average purchase price per coin, or the precise allocation between debt repurchase and digital asset purchases.
The company disclosed FY 2024 base salaries and bonus targets for five named executives (claims #6300–6311) but only disclosed FY 2023 LTIP grants (claims #6294–6299); what has not been stated is the FY 2024 LTIP grant value for each executive, vesting schedules, performance conditions, and the reason for reporting only prior-year equity awards in the proxy statement.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-07The company disclosed an acquisition of GC Data Center Equity Holdings at $178.65M in December 2023 (claim 6401) and later disclosed the same deal at $183.8M in May 2024 (claim 6206); it simultaneously announced earn-out obligations for capacity additions (claim 6402) and ERCOT approval (claim 6403). What remains unexplained is the $5.15M price discrepancy and the specific conditions, timelines, and current status of the earn-outs.
Marathon announced plans to deploy $1 billion from convertible notes (November 18, 2024, claims 5398, 5426) and $700 million more (December 2-3, 2024, claims 5348, 5346) for "additional bitcoin" acquisitions. The company has not disclosed the intended quantity in BTC or dollars, execution prices, deployment timing, or confirmation that capital has actually been deployed.
The company disclosed LTIP grants totaling $48.7M to five executives on February 1, 2024 (Fred Thiel $22.4M, Salman Khan $13.3M, James Crawford $4M, Adam Swick $3.9M, John Lee $3.34M, claims 6294-6299), but provided no details on vesting schedules, performance conditions, current exercise or vested status, or expected shareholder dilution.
Marathon announced plans in late 2024 to repurchase existing 2026 convertible notes (claims 5425, 5400, 5310 dated November-December) with stated dollar amounts that lack context for total principal outstanding, target percentage of notes to be retired, repurchase prices or effective yields, and execution status.
The company secured a $200 million line of credit on October 14, 2024 (claim 5574) without disclosing the interest rate, financial covenants, lender identity, use restrictions, drawdown status, or whether the facility was established for general corporate purposes or to support specific asset acquisitions.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-06The company announced acquisition of GC Data Center Equity Holdings at $178.65M on 12/18/23 (claim 6401) and again at $183.8M on 5/8/24 (claim 6206)—which purchase price is accurate, and what accounts for the $5.15M variance between the two announcements?
Marathon disclosed multiple plans to acquire bitcoin using convertible notes proceeds (claims 5401, 5426, 5350, 5346, 5311, among others, beginning 11/18/24) but never quantified how much bitcoin would be purchased, at what average price, or when—what are the actual quantities acquired and their average purchase prices?
The company announced a $15M expansion payment earn-out for data center capacity additions and a Granbury, TX facility expansion with ERCOT approval as an earn-out trigger (claims 6402 and 6403, both 12/18/23) but disclosed no capacity metrics—what is the planned megawatt output, cooling capacity in tons, rack count, or anticipated incremental power consumption?
An electricity hedging contract for commodity swaps was disclosed to run through 2027-12-31 (claim 6208, 5/8/24), but the notional contract value, strike prices, and baseline electricity cost assumptions underlying the hedge structure were not disclosed; what are these material risk parameters?
FY 2023 LTIP grants to five executives totaling ~$48.8M—Fred Thiel ($22.4M, claim 6294), Salman Khan ($13.3M, claim 6295), James Crawford ($4.017M, claim 6296), Adam Swick ($3.9M, claim 6297), and Ashu Swami ($5.209M, claim 6298)—were announced with grant values on 2/1/24 but without vesting schedules, performance conditions, or clawback provisions; what are the vesting terms and acceleration or forfeiture triggers?
What we aren't being told
2026-09-06The company disclosed convertible senior notes offerings with conversion prices (claim 5402), maturity dates (claim 5403), and redemption dates (claims 5404-5405) across multiple issuances in November and December 2024 (claims 5398, 5348, 5343, 5342); what has not been said is the coupon rate or annual interest rate for these instruments, material to any evaluation of capital costs.
The company disclosed plans to acquire additional bitcoin using convertible notes proceeds (claims 5401, 5346, 5350) with net proceeds of approximately $980 million available (claim 5399), announced November–December 2024; what has not been said is how many bitcoin were purchased, at what average price, or confirmation that these acquisitions were completed—information that should appear in subsequent quarterly filings 22 months later.
GC Data Center Equity Holdings was acquired for $183.8 million (claim 6206) with a $15 million earn-out contingent on facility expansion (claim 6402) and ERCOT regulatory approval (claim 6403); what has not been said is the megawatt (MW) capacity added by the acquisition or expansion, nor the current operational MW capacity—standard metrics for data center operators.
Executive long-term incentive grants for fiscal 2023 are disclosed with dollar amounts for named executives (claims 6294–6299: Fred Thiel $22.4M, Salman Khan $13.3M, James Crawford $4.017M, Adam Swick $3.9M); what has not been said is the vesting schedule, cliff date, performance conditions, or grant type (restricted stock units vs. options) for any of these awards.
An At-the-Market offering was announced for Q1 2024 with stated authorization of $489.3 million (claim 6207); what has not been said is how much was actually drawn, the pricing achieved, or when the offering concluded—material to assessing actual capital raise and share dilution.
The energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging is disclosed as a future commitment to December 31, 2027 (claim 6208); what has not been said is the megawatt-hour volume hedged, the contract term, the price per unit, or the counterparty—material for understanding power cost certainty.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-06The company disclosed an acquisition of "GC Data Center Equity Holdings, LLC" citing two different prices—$178.65M on December 18, 2023 (claim 6401) and $183.8M on May 8, 2024 (claim 6206)—without explaining the assets acquired, the number of facilities, physical locations, or energy capacity (in MW), or why the price changed. Related claims 6403 and 6402 reference an ERCOT-approval dependent earnout and a $15M "expansion payment for capacity additions" at Granbury, TX, but the company has not disclosed the baseline MW capacity, post-expansion target capacity, or expansion timeline.
The February 1, 2024 proxy filings detailed LTIP grants of $22.4M (Fred Thiel), $13.3M (Salman Khan), $5.2M (Ashu Swami), $4.0M (James Crawford), $3.9M (Adam Swick), and $3.3M (John Lee)—claims 6294-6299—but provided no vesting schedule, cliff dates, performance metrics, clawback provisions, or treatment upon executive separation.
Between November 18 and December 3, 2024, Marathon announced multiple convertible offerings on claims 5422-5426, 5398-5405, 5348-5350, 5342-5345, and 5309-5310 with stated principal amounts of "$850 USD," "$700 USD," and "$1,000 USD" without clarification of whether these are millions, and without disclosing actual settlement dates or cumulative net proceeds after accounting for concurrent repurchases of 2026 convertible notes.
Claim 6207 disclosed a $489.3M At-the-Market offering in Q1 2024 without specifying the average price per share, execution timing (continuous vs. batched), or remaining available authorization.
Claim 6208 referenced an "energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging" promised by December 31, 2027, without naming the counterparty, stating the notional amount, or disclosing the pricing mechanism and electricity cost exposure being managed.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-06The company disclosed acquiring GC Data Center Equity Holdings for $178.65 million on 2023-12-18 (claim 6401), then reported the identical acquisition as $183.8 million in Q1 2024 filings dated 2024-05-08 (claim 6206)—a $5.15 million discrepancy that was never reconciled. Was this difference an earn-out accrual, a purchase price adjustment, or a restatement of deal structure?
Marathon announced multiple convertible senior notes offerings totaling approximately $1.85 billion in net proceeds across November-December 2024 (claims 5398, 5399, 5348, 5344), with explicit plans to acquire additional bitcoin stated in claims 5401, 5350, and 5346. However, the company disclosed neither the actual bitcoin quantity purchased nor the average acquisition price per coin—material omissions for an investor evaluating the company's core bitcoin accumulation strategy and cost basis.
The company disclosed an energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging promised through 2027-12-31 (claim 6208, 2024-05-08), but provided no disclosure of the contract's notional value, the percentage of facility electricity consumption covered, the price per MWh locked in, or the counterparty. This leaves the magnitude and exposure of a material derivative position unstated.
Marathon announced a $15 million expansion payment earn-out tied to ERCOT approval for its Granbury, Texas facility expansion (claim 6402, 2023-12-18), but never disclosed the specific capacity milestone that triggers payment, the timeline for achievement, or whether the earn-out was subsequently triggered—leaving investors unable to assess a contingent $15 million liability or asset.
The company reported raising $489.3 million in an At-the-Market offering during Q1 2024 (claim 6207, 2024-05-08), but disclosed neither the share count sold nor the average share price achieved during the offering period—data necessary for calculating actual dilution and share counts for the period.
Marathon disclosed a 15 million-share authorization increase to the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan promised by 2024-06-27 (claim 5962, 2024-06-19, status delayed), but provided no information on whether this increase required shareholder approval, when that approval occurred, or the remaining available authorization—context necessary to track future dilution capacity.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-05The company disclosed plans to acquire "additional bitcoin" with proceeds from financing secured across multiple 2024 tranches—including a $200 million line of credit (2024-10-14, claim 5574), a $1 billion convertible offering completed 2024-11-20 (claim 5398), and a $700 million convertible offering 2024-12-01 (claim 5348)—with multiple stated intentions to deploy capital to bitcoin acquisitions (claims 5426, 5401, 5346, 5350, 5311); what has not been said is current bitcoin holdings, the price-per-bitcoin at which the company intends to acquire, and the specific allocation of each financing tranche between crypto and other capital needs.
The company disclosed a GC Data Center Equity Holdings acquisition price of $178.65 million on 2023-12-18 (claim 6401), then reported the same acquisition at $183.8 million on 2024-05-08 (claim 6206); what has not been said is the reason for this $5.15 million variance, whether it reflects earnout vesting, purchase price adjustments, or different accounting treatment.
The company disclosed plans to repurchase existing convertible notes due 2026 (2024-11-20, claims 5400, 5425; 2024-12-01, claims 5349, 5345), with repurchase amounts appearing to range from $48 million to $212 million; what has not been said is the total principal amount of 2026 convertible notes outstanding prior to repurchase, the conversion rate of those notes, or whether this refinancing while issuing new 2030 notes at $25.91/share (claims 5402, 5403) reflects unfavorable economics on the earlier tranche.
The company disclosed that the Granbury, Texas facility expansion carries an earnout contingent on ERCOT approval (claim 6403) and an expansion payment of $15 million for data center capacity additions (claim 6402), tied to the acquisition of GC Data Center Equity Holdings; what has not been said is what specific technical or regulatory milestones constitute successful ERCOT approval, what timeline applies to the earnout vesting, or what baseline capacity the $15 million expansion builds from.
The company disclosed an energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging with a maturity of 2027-12-31 on 2024-05-08 (claim 6208); what has not been said is the notional value of the swap, what percentage of the company's electricity consumption is hedged, or what forward electricity price was locked in.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-05The company disclosed a $178.65M acquisition price for GC Data Center Equity Holdings in December 2023 (claim 6401), with a separate $15M expansion payment earn-out and $9.0125M reverse termination fee noted (claims 6402, 6404). Yet in May 2024, the same acquisition was reported at $183.8M (claim 6206). What accounts for the $5.15M variance, and which figure represents the all-in commitment once earn-outs and termination fees are settled? The company announced an ERCOT approval earn-out for Granbury, TX facility expansion (claim 6403, December 2023) but disclosed no megawatt capacity being added, timeline for commissioning, or updated total fleet capacity post-acquisition; a first-year analyst would ask: what MW of new hosting capacity is Granbury adding, and when will it reach production? Claim 6540 (November 2023) discloses a General Counsel and Corporate Secretary appointment with no name provided; this is the company's top legal officer, yet shareholders learn neither the appointee's identity nor prior compensation. The company described an electricity hedging swap maturing December 2027 (claim 6208, May 2024) but omitted all material terms: notional volume in MWh, price strike, counterparty identity, or mark-to-market value. Between November 18 and December 3, 2024, Marathon announced at least three convertible notes offerings (claims 5422, 5348, 5342) reported in inconsistent units—some as millions (700000000.0), others apparently shorthand (850.0, 1000.0)—without explaining whether these are overlapping tranches of a single offering or separate issuances, creating ambiguity about total dilution. Finally, when announcing a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan share authorization increase in November 2023 (claim 6539), the company withheld the number of shares being authorized; shareholders only learned it was 15 million shares when a separate June 2024 claim (5962) disclosed the specific count, raising the question: why were share authorization counts excluded from the original announcement when they are material to evaluating dilution?
What we aren't being told
2026-09-05The company disclosed an acquisition of GC Data Center Equity Holdings for $178.65 million on December 18, 2023 (claim 6401), but then restated it for $183.8 million on May 8, 2024 (claim 6206)—a discrepancy of $5.15 million with no explanation of whether this reflects earn-out accruals, purchase price adjustments, or a correction. The company disclosed a facility expansion at 'Granbury, TX' requiring ERCOT approval (claim 6403) and contingent earn-outs totaling $15 million for capacity additions (claim 6402), but provided no physical address, property size, power capacity in megawatts, grid interconnection details, probability of approval, or timeline for the regulatory decision. The company announced an energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging with a December 31, 2027 maturity (claim 6208), but disclosed no counterparty name, notional amount of electricity covered, price mechanism, specific facilities included, or hedge ratios—standard disclosure for hedging arrangements in capital-intensive businesses. FY 2023 long-term incentive plan grants totaling over $43 million were disclosed for executives including Fred Thiel ($22.4M) and Salman Khan ($13.3M) on February 1, 2024 (claims 6294–6299), yet no vesting schedules, performance conditions, cliff periods, acceleration triggers, or equity versus cash terms were provided. The company raised approximately $1.98 billion in aggregate net proceeds from convertible notes offerings in November–December 2024 with stated intent to acquire bitcoin (claims 5346, 5350, 5398–5399), but disclosed no average purchase price per bitcoin, number of bitcoins acquired, timing of purchases, whether acquisitions have been completed, or custody arrangements. A $200 million line of credit was secured on October 14, 2024 (claim 5574) with no material terms disclosed: borrowing base calculation, financial covenants, interest rate structure, lender identity, or amount drawn to date.
What we aren't being told
2026-09-05The company disclosed the acquisition of GC Data Center Equity Holdings at $178.65M in December 2023 (claim 6401) and then $183.8M in May 2024 (claim 6206), with closure occurring in January 2024 (claim 6379); the $5.15M variance—nearly 3% of the stated price—is not reconciled, leaving unclear whether earnout conditions (claim 6402's $15M expansion payment or claim 6403's ERCOT approval) were triggered at close or remain contingent.
The company announced multiple convertible senior notes offerings across November-December 2024 (claims 5398, 5348, 5342) expressly intended to acquire additional bitcoin (claims 5401, 5350, 5346, 5426), yet no subsequent claim discloses the quantity of bitcoin acquired, the average cost per coin, the timing of purchase, or current holdings—making it impossible for a reader to assess the execution or economics of these capital deployment announcements.
The earnout provisions for the GC Data Center acquisition (claim 6402 for $15M on expansion payment, claim 6403 contingent on ERCOT approval for Granbury facility expansion) were disclosed in December 2023 but have no follow-up claims indicating whether these conditions were satisfied, when they were satisfied, or whether the $15M has been paid, despite the acquisition closing in January 2024 (claim 6379).
Directors Kevin DeNuccio and Said Ouissal departed without disclosed severance terms (claims 5796, 5797, September 2024), despite the company having detailed executive compensation disclosures including $22.4M in LTIP grants for Fred Thiel and $13.3M for Salman Khan in FY 2023 (claims 6294, 6295), creating a gap in related-party disclosure and change-of-control provisions for named executives.
The corporate name change announced on September 4, 2024 (claim 5800) is disclosed as an event but the new corporate name is not stated, leaving readers unable to identify the company's post-change identity or the business rationale for the change.
The $200M line of credit secured in October 2024 (claim 5574) lacks disclosure of interest rate, lender identity, specific covenant restrictions, and whether any amount has been drawn to date—standard terms a diligent reader would expect given the company's detailed convertible notes disclosures (claims 5398-5405 specify conversion prices and maturity dates).
What we aren't being told
2026-09-05Marathon disclosed the acquisition of GC Data Center Equity Holdings for $178.65 million on December 18, 2023 (claim 6401), but reported the same acquisition at $183.8 million in its May 2024 filing (claim 6206)—a $5.15 million discrepancy that likely reflects earn-out adjustments, capital calls, or other contingent consideration that was never explained. Why did the acquisition price increase materially between announcement and close, and what was the nature of this additional $5.15 million consideration?
Marathon announced an "Expansion Payment earn-out for data center capacity additions" of $15 million (claim 6402) and an "ERCOT approval earn-out for Granbury, TX facility expansion" (claim 6403) in December 2023, but disclosed neither the specific technical milestones required to trigger payments, the payment schedule, the amount paid to date, nor the current status of these contingent liabilities. What are the exact performance criteria and timeline for each earn-out tranche, and how much of the $15 million remains outstanding as of today?
On May 8, 2024, Marathon announced a $489.3 million at-the-market offering (claim 6207) but never disclosed how these proceeds were deployed—whether toward bitcoin acquisition, facility expansion, debt repayment, or operating cash. What was the specific use-of-proceeds breakdown for the $489.3 million ATM offering?
Marathon disclosed an "Energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging" set to expire December 31, 2027 (claim 6208), but omitted the contract size in megawatt-hours, the electricity price or rate level hedged, the counterparty, the specific facilities protected, and the mark-to-market valuation. What are the notional volume, strike prices, and financial terms of this electricity hedge, and which Marathon mining facilities are covered?
Marathon disclosed FY 2024 bonus targets for executives including Fred Thiel ($2.1375 million, claim 6306), Salman Khan ($1.40625 million, claim 6307), and others, but provided no proxy statement detail on the performance metrics, threshold/target/maximum payout scales, or what percentage of bonuses were actually earned in 2024. What are the specific operational or financial metrics triggering these bonuses, and what was the actual bonus payout percentage achieved against each executive's target for FY 2024?
Marathon appointed Janet George and Barbara Humpton to the Board of Directors on September 4, 2024 (claims 5798, 5799) without disclosing their director compensation, equity grant vesting schedules, committee assignments, or any material business relationships with the company, its officers, or affiliated entities. What are the annual retainers, stock grants, and related-party transaction disclosures for these newly appointed directors?
What we aren't being told
2026-09-05The company disclosed a $178.65 million acquisition of GC Data Center Equity Holdings on 2023-12-18 (claim 6401) and a $15 million expansion payment earn-out for data center capacity additions (claim 6402), yet has not disclosed the specific physical locations of the acquired facilities, the megawatt capacity being added, or the operational timeline for when this capacity becomes live. For a bitcoin mining operation, capacity in megawatts is the fundamental operational metric; investors cannot assess utilization or future mining profitability without knowing these specific figures.
The company announced plans to acquire additional bitcoin with convertible notes proceeds, with net proceeds of $980 million disclosed on 2024-11-20 (claim 5399) and $835.1 million on 2024-12-02 (claim 5344), yet has not disclosed how much of those proceeds was actually deployed into bitcoin purchases, at what price bitcoin was acquired, how many bitcoin were purchased with each offering's proceeds, or the timing of the purchases. Without this, investors cannot evaluate the company's capital deployment efficiency or cost basis for its bitcoin holdings.
The company disclosed multiple convertible senior notes offerings in November and December 2024, with principal amounts of $1 billion (claim 5398 on 2024-11-20) and $850 million (claim 5307 on 2024-12-03), but has not disclosed the identity of the lead underwriter(s), the names of major institutional investors in the offerings, whether any related parties or executives participated in the offerings, or the exact pricing spread relative to bitcoin's market price at time of issuance. This context is essential for assessing whether the company received favorable terms.
The company disclosed FY 2023 and FY 2024 executive compensation including LTIP grants of $22.4 million to Fred Thiel (claim 6294, 2024-02-01), $13.3 million to Salman Khan (claim 6295, 2024-02-01), and $5.2 million to Ashu Swami (claim 6298, 2024-02-01), yet has not disclosed the vesting schedules for these grants, the performance conditions (if any) that must be satisfied, or whether any executives received compensation adjustments or waivers in connection with the company's extensive 2024 convertible offerings and capital restructuring activity.
The company disclosed a $15 million earn-out payment for data center capacity additions at Granbury, Texas (claims 6402 and 6403, 2023-12-18), but has not disclosed what specific megawatt capacity threshold must be achieved to trigger the $15 million payment, whether the earn-out is paid in full upon achievement or in tranches, the deadline for achieving ERCOT approval, or what remedies the company has if ERCOT approval is denied. These details are material to evaluating the true acquisition cost.
The company disclosed an "energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging" promised by 2027-12-31 (claim 6208, 2024-05-08), but has not disclosed the volume of megawatts being hedged, the fixed price term or reference benchmark, the contract tenor and specific start/end dates, or the counterparty to the swap. For a company whose operating costs are heavily dependent on electricity prices, the terms of this hedge directly impact future profitability.

What we haven't been told
2026-10-19The patent-monetization strategy that defined the company after its 2013 rebrand to Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045) does not reappear in later records. The 2013-02-04 disclosures described an IP acquisition, development and monetization business (21043) built on the Sampo IP purchase (21042), and the 2014-03-30 annual filing listed a long run of portfolio acquisitions and licensing arrangements, including TeleCommunication Systems, Mosaid, Siemens, Zhone, Intergraph, CyberFone and Delphi (21016 through 21035), along with the start of patent revenue (21014) and active enforcement litigation (21025). The last related item is the Opus Analytics SaaS offering on 2015-03-25 (21010), which is mentioned once and never again. By 2018-08-13 the record describes the company as a cryptocurrency miner (15459). All of these claims remain at 'stated', and the ledger holds no disclosure on what happened to the portfolios, the licenses, the pending litigation or Opus Analytics. The record does not say whether they were sold, abandoned, written down or left to expire.
On 2013-02-04 the company said it was exploring a disposition of its real estate business (21044). No later claim reports a completed sale, a spin-off or the end of that process. The item is still at 'stated' more than a decade on, and nothing in the record explains how the real estate operations were resolved.
The 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (16645) was noted on 2018-04-01, the same day an interim chief executive was named (16644). The ledger moved this claim from 'stated' to 'delayed' and then to 'not_yet_verifiable'. These were automated transitions on 2026-09-20 and 2026-10-09, not company statements. No later claim confirms the report was filed on time, a late-filing notice, or the leadership change behind the interim appointment.
The going-concern language of 2018-08-13, which questioned whether the company had a 12-month cash runway through 2019-08-13 (15462), has no follow-up on record. The claim now sits at 'not_yet_verifiable'. No later disclosure in the ledger says how the shortfall was funded, or whether the warning was ever formally withdrawn.
The termination of the Global Bit Ventures merger was disclosed on 2018-06-28 (15477), and on 2018-08-13 it was described as carrying a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (15461). The status of 15461 has changed four times and has now returned to 'stated'. No later claim confirms that the shares were issued, settled in another form, or disputed.
The NASDAQ remediation deadlines of 2018-07-12 call for a different reading. These are the compliance plan (15466), two new independent directors by 2019-01-07 (15465), listing-rule compliance (15467) and compensation-committee compliance by 2019-06-28 (15468). All of them were automatically marked 'delayed' and then 'not_yet_verifiable'. Yet the 2018-08-21 claims record Michael Berg and Fred Thiel joining the board in committee chair roles (15435, 15437) and compliance being regained (15438). This looks less like a silent walk-back than a gap in how the ledger links the claims. It is noted here so that the automated statuses are not read as an admission.
Two caveats apply. The claims list supplied was cut off partway through the October 2018 entries, so anything disclosed after that point was not reviewed. Also, claims 20895 through 20903 describe the Mara Foundation, Ashish J. Thakkar and operations across 26 countries. They appear to belong to a different entity, Mara Group, and were left out of this analysis.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-19Opus Analytics, the SaaS tool the company described in its 2015-03-25 disclosure (claim 21010), does not appear in any later record. The same is true of the broader patent business: the IP acquisition and monetization model (claims 21043, 21014), the run of portfolio purchases from Siemens, Mosaid, Delphi, Intergraph and others (claims 21031, 21029, 21023, 21020), and the licensing relationships with Zhone and Siemens (claims 21022, 21018). The 2018 filings turn to cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459) without any statement on our ledger about what happened to the patent portfolio or the licenses. The 2013 plan to explore disposing of the real estate business (claim 21044) was likewise never followed up. We have no record of a sale, write-down, wind-down or discontinuation for any of these lines.
In the 2018-04-01 disclosure, which also named an interim chief executive (claim 16644), the company pointed to a 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim 16645). Our ledger moved the claim to delayed on 2026-09-20 and then to not_yet_verifiable on 2026-10-09. Nothing on record confirms that the annual report was filed by that date, and nothing acknowledges a late filing or an extension.
On 2018-08-13 the company said there was uncertainty about whether its cash would last twelve months, a window ending 2019-08-13 (claim 15462). The claim was auto-transitioned to delayed and then to not_yet_verifiable. No later disclosure in this record says whether that uncertainty was resolved, how it was resolved, or that it was dropped as a concern.
The termination of the Global Bit Ventures merger was disclosed on 2018-06-28 (claim 15477). The break-up fee was later described as 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461, 2018-08-13). That claim went from delayed to not_yet_verifiable and then back to stated on 2026-10-10, but the record never confirms that the shares were issued or describes their terms on settlement.
Two items are excluded deliberately. The NASDAQ compliance deadlines set on 2018-07-12 (claims 15465 through 15468) also carry not_yet_verifiable flags, but the company reported regaining compliance on 2018-08-21 (claim 15438) and named Michael Berg and Fred Thiel to the board and committees (claims 15435, 15437), so they do not read as walked back. Claims 20896 through 20903 describe Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate, and appear to have been attached to this company in error. The ledger supplied ends partway through the 2018-10-15 disclosures, so later mentions of these items may exist outside what was reviewed.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-19The patent-monetization business that defined the company from 2013 through 2015 has no visible ending in the record. The March 2014 disclosures describe a portfolio assembled from Siemens, Zhone, Mosaid, Intergraph, Delphi, TeleCommunication Systems, CyberFone and TT IP (claims 21013, 21016 through 21023, 21028, 21029, 21031, 21035), along with licensing arrangements and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (21018, 21022, 21024) and ongoing enforcement litigation (21025). The last related mention is the Opus Analytics SaaS offering on 2015-03-25 (21010). By August 2018 the disclosures describe cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459), and nothing on record explains what happened to the portfolio, the licensing agreements, the pending litigation, or Opus Analytics. The 2013 plan to explore disposing of the real estate business (21044) also has no recorded outcome.
The annual report deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim 16645), disclosed alongside an interim chief executive appointment (16644), moved from stated to delayed and is now not_yet_verifiable. No later claim confirms when the 10-K was filed or whether a late-filing notice was needed.
The August 2018 statement that the company could not be sure its cash would last twelve months (claim 15462) ran to a 2019-08-13 horizon. That claim has also moved through delayed to not_yet_verifiable. The record contains no follow-up saying whether the going-concern doubt was resolved or what financing closed the gap, apart from the 10 million share equity incentive reserve (15460), which is not a funding source.
The Global Bit Ventures merger was reported as terminated in June 2018 (claim 15477), and the August filing attached a 3 million share break-up fee (15461). That claim's status has moved back and forth between stated, delayed and not_yet_verifiable before settling on stated. Nothing on record confirms that the shares were issued, when, or at what value they were booked.
The July 2018 NASDAQ deficiency set deadlines for a compliance plan, board independence, and compensation committee composition, with two new independent directors promised by 2019-01-07 (claims 15465 through 15468). All four claims now read not_yet_verifiable. The record shows Michael Berg joining as audit committee chair, Fred Thiel taking the compensation committee chair, and compliance being regained on 2018-08-21 (15435, 15437, 15438), so the ledger status probably overstates the gap. Still, no disclosure states which of the cited rules that announcement covered or whether the compensation committee requirement was separately met.
Claims 20895 through 20903, covering African operations in 19 and 26 countries, the Mara Foundation, UN Women and EY partnerships, and the Thakkar family leadership, appear to describe the unrelated Mara Group. They were left out of this review. The ledger as provided also ends partway through the October 2018 entries, so later disclosures may address some of these items.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-17Marathon's July 2018 Nasdaq remediation plan carried three dated commitments: a compliance plan due 2018-08-24 (claim 15466), restoration of board and audit-committee compliance, including two new independent directors, by 2019-01-07 (claims 15465, 15467), and compensation-committee compliance by 2019-06-28 (claim 15468). All four passed their dates without a closing statement in the ledger and were auto-transitioned to delayed, then to not_yet_verifiable on 2026-10-09. The record is not wholly silent. On 2018-08-21 the company said it had regained compliance with the Nasdaq listing rule (claim 15438) and named Michael Berg as audit chair and Fred Thiel as compensation chair (claims 15435, 15437), which appears to satisfy the director and audit items early. What has not been said is whether that August notice covered the separate compensation-committee requirement, or whether Nasdaq formally closed the matter. Claim 15468 has no matching resolution.
The 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim 16645) was stated on 2018-04-01, alongside the appointment of an interim chief executive (claim 16644). The ledger holds no later disclosure confirming a timely filing, an NT 10-K extension, or a late filing. The claim has moved from stated to delayed to not_yet_verifiable. Nothing on record explains how the leadership transition affected the annual report timetable.
In August 2018 management flagged uncertainty about whether it had twelve months of cash runway, a window that ran to 2019-08-13 (claim 15462). In the same filing it described a cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459) without capacity or capital figures. The going-concern question has no follow-up statement in the record and now sits at not_yet_verifiable. Nor did any later disclosure put numbers to the mining expansion or say how it was funded.
The patent-monetization business that defined the company from 2013 through 2015 has dropped out of the record without a wind-down statement. Between February 2013 and March 2014 it described acquisitions of portfolios from Sampo, Mosaid, CyberFone, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, Delphi, Siemens and Zhone, and active enforcement litigation (claims 21042, 21043, 21013–21029, 21031, 21035). It last mentioned that business in March 2015, with the launch of the Opus Analytics SaaS tool (claim 21010). Neither Opus Analytics nor the portfolios appear again. Separately, the February 2013 plan to explore disposing of the legacy real estate business (claim 21044) has no recorded outcome. Nothing in the ledger explains whether the patents were sold, abandoned or written down before the 2018 pivot to mining, or what became of Opus Analytics.
Two caveats about the source data. First, claims 20895–20903 (the Thakkar family, Mara Foundation, operations in 26 countries, and the UN Women and EY partnerships) appear to describe Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate, and were not used here. Second, the claims list supplied for this review breaks off partway through the October 2018 entries, at claim 15387. Later disclosures may address some of the gaps noted above.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-17Marathon's 2013 through 2015 disclosures describe a patent acquisition, development and monetization business in some detail (claims 21043, 21013, 21014, 21025), and they culminate in a March 2015 description of an Opus Analytics SaaS offering (claim 21010). After that the record falls silent until 2018, when the company reappears with a cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459). No disclosure on record says what became of the patent portfolios acquired from Sampo, Mosaid, CyberFone, Siemens, Intergraph, Delphi, Zhone and TeleCommunication Systems (claims 21015 through 21035). Nothing on record says whether those patents were sold, written down or simply left idle, or what happened to the pending enforcement litigation. Opus Analytics is not mentioned again after March 2015.
In February 2013 the company said it was exploring a disposition of its real estate business (claim 21044) as it pivoted to intellectual property. The ledger holds no later statement saying whether that disposition was completed, at what value, or whether it was abandoned. The claim remains in its original 'stated' form more than a decade later.
In April 2018 the company named an interim chief executive and pointed to a 10-K filing deadline of April 15, 2018 (claim 16645). The ledger moved this claim automatically to 'delayed' and then to 'not_yet_verifiable' on October 9, 2026. No disclosure on record confirms when the annual report was actually filed, and none explains why it needed the extension.
The July 2018 NASDAQ deficiency set out three deadlines: a compliance plan by August 24, 2018, board composition by January 7, 2019, and compensation committee compliance by June 28, 2019 (claims 15465 through 15468). All four claims were auto-transitioned to 'not_yet_verifiable'. On August 21, 2018 the company did announce that it had regained compliance with the listing rule, and it appointed Michael Berg and Fred Thiel to committee chair roles (claims 15438, 15435, 15437). That announcement does not separately address the compensation committee requirement with the later deadline. The record shows no statement confirming that this particular deficiency was closed.
In August 2018 the company disclosed substantial doubt about its ability to fund operations over the following twelve months, a window ending August 13, 2019 (claim 15462). In the same period it terminated the Global Bit Ventures merger, with a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claims 15461, 15477). The runway claim now sits at 'not_yet_verifiable'. No later disclosure on record says how the funding gap was closed or whether the going-concern language was ever withdrawn.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-17The 2018 annual report is the clearest unexplained gap. Claim 16645, recorded on 2018-04-01 alongside the appointment of an interim chief executive (claim 16644), set a 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15. The ledger moved it to delayed and then to not_yet_verifiable on 2026-10-09. Nothing on record states when the filing was actually made, whether an extension was relied upon, or why a leadership change coincided with the deadline.
The July 2018 Nasdaq remediation commitments have never been formally closed out. On 2018-07-12 the company set out a compliance plan due 2018-08-24 (claim 15466), two new independent directors by 2019-01-07 (claim 15465), listing rule compliance by the same date (claim 15467), and compensation committee compliance by 2019-06-28 (claim 15468). All four now sit at not_yet_verifiable. The record does contain a likely answer: Michael Berg's appointment as audit committee chair (claim 15435), Fred Thiel's appointment as compensation committee chair (claim 15437), and a 2018-08-21 statement that compliance had been regained (claim 15438). However, the company has not tied those announcements to each commitment. In particular, it has not said whether the compensation committee requirement was satisfied in full or only by the August appointments.
The going-concern language from August 2018 has no stated resolution. Claim 15462 flagged uncertainty about a 12-month cash runway ending 2019-08-13, in the same disclosure that recorded the terminated Global Bit Ventures merger and its 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claim 15461) and a pivot toward cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459). The runway claim has moved from stated to delayed to not_yet_verifiable. No later disclosure on record says the doubt was lifted, how the gap was funded, or what the break-up shares cost existing holders.
The patent-licensing business has dropped out of the record without a stated end. The 2013 and 2014 disclosures describe a business built on intellectual property acquisition and monetization (claims 21043 and 21014). It drew on portfolios from Sampo, Mosaid, CyberFone, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, Delphi, Siemens and Zhone (claims 21015 through 21035), relied on IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (claim 21024), and pursued active enforcement litigation (claim 21025). The Opus Analytics SaaS offering, introduced on 2015-03-25 (claim 21010), is the last product-level mention of that business. From 2018 the record shifts to mining, and no claim on file explains whether these portfolios were sold, abandoned, or left to expire, what became of the pending litigation, or whether the Opus Analytics tool ever launched commercially.
The Global Bit Ventures transaction is recorded only at its termination. Claims 15477 and 15461 document the merger's termination and the director resignations that accompanied it (claim 15476), but no claim on file records the original announcement terms or the strategic rationale. The company has not said publicly why the deal failed or why issuing shares was preferred over a cash break fee.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-17Marathon told investors on 2018-04-01 that its 10-K annual report would be filed by 2018-04-15 (claim 16645), in the same disclosure that named an interim chief executive (claim 16644). Nothing later on record confirms the filing or gives a revised date. The ledger moved the item to delayed on 2026-09-20 and to not_yet_verifiable on 2026-10-09. Both were automated transitions, not company statements. The disclosures that follow turn to the Global Bit Ventures termination and board changes and do not say whether, or when, the report was filed.
On 2018-08-13 the company disclosed uncertainty over whether it had enough cash for the next twelve months (claim 15462), a window that ran to 2019-08-13. That same filing announced an expansion into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459) and a 10,000,000-share equity incentive reserve (claim 15460). The record contains no later statement that the runway concern was resolved, reduced or carried forward. The item has passed through delayed (2026-09-15) to not_yet_verifiable (2026-10-09) without any company comment on the funding position that was in doubt.
The patent licensing business has dropped out of the disclosures without an explanation on record. In 2014 the company described a patent portfolio and the start of patent revenue (claims 21013, 21014), licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022), a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim 21024), and active enforcement litigation (claim 21025). On 2015-03-25 it introduced an Opus Analytics SaaS offering (claim 21010). That is the last mention of any of these. By 2018 the disclosures concern cryptocurrency mining alone. The record contains nothing on whether the licenses ran to term or were sold, how the litigation ended, what became of the IP Navigation relationship, or whether Opus Analytics ever shipped.
At the 2013-02-04 Sampo IP acquisition, management said it was exploring a disposition of the real estate business (claim 21044), alongside the name change to Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045). The record has no later statement that a sale was completed, abandoned or reclassified. The real estate business is simply absent from the 2014 description of the company, and it is not clear whether it was sold, wound down or written off.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-16The annual report deadline in claim 16645 was disclosed on 2018-04-01, the same date the company named an Interim Chief Executive Officer (claim 16644), with a promised filing date of 2018-04-15. That deadline was first marked delayed and is now classed not_yet_verifiable as of 2026-10-09. The record on file contains no later statement confirming when, or whether, the 10-K was filed. It also does not explain how the leadership change related to the timing.
The July 2018 NASDAQ remediation commitments form a cluster. These are the compliance plan due 2018-08-24 (claim 15466), two new independent directors by 2019-01-07 (claim 15465), listing-rule compliance by the same date (claim 15467), and compensation committee compliance by 2019-06-28 (claim 15468). All four slipped from delayed to not_yet_verifiable. Claim 15438, dated 2018-08-21, states that compliance was regained, alongside the board appointments of Michael Berg and Fred Thiel (claims 15435 and 15437). That partly answers the director and listing commitments. The record does not show a separate statement closing out the compensation committee deadline or the plan submission, and the ledger has not been reconciled to the August disclosure.
The going-concern language in claim 15462, dated 2018-08-13, flagged uncertainty about funding operations over the following twelve months, through 2019-08-13. It is now not_yet_verifiable. No subsequent disclosure on record says whether that window was bridged, by what financing, or whether the warning was withdrawn. That same filing introduced the cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459) and a 10,000,000-share equity incentive reserve (claim 15460).
The termination of the Global Bit Ventures merger was disclosed on 2018-06-28 (claim 15477). The 2018-08-13 version added a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claim 15461). That claim cycled through delayed and not_yet_verifiable before returning to stated on 2026-10-10. The record does not show confirmation that the shares were actually issued, nor does it explain the shift between the two descriptions of the termination.
The patent monetization business drew heavy disclosure in March 2014: portfolio acquisitions from Mosaid, Siemens, Delphi, Intergraph and others (claims 21016 through 21035), licensing agreements with Zhone and Siemens (claims 21022 and 21018), and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim 21024). The 2015 Opus Analytics SaaS offering (claim 21010) is the last product mention in that line. The 2013 plan to explore disposing of the real estate business (claim 21044) was never followed up. None of these threads reappears in the 2018 disclosures, which concern only governance, financing and crypto mining. No statement on record describes winding down the licensing relationships, the fate of the portfolio, or the outcome of the real estate exploration. Several 2013 and 2014 claims on this ledger (claims 20895 through 20903, covering African operations and the Thakkar family) appear to describe a different entity also named Mara, and have been set aside here. This review covers only the portion of the claims ledger that was provided.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-16Marathon's 2018 annual report is the clearest unresolved date on the record. On 2018-04-01 the company said its 10-K would be filed by 2018-04-15 (claim 16645). In the same disclosure it named an interim chief executive (claim 16644), which places the filing commitment during a leadership change. The ledger moved this claim from stated to delayed on 2026-09-20 and then to not_yet_verifiable on 2026-10-09. Nothing on file confirms the filing was made on time, explains a late filing, or says whether an extension was used. The record simply goes quiet on it.
The going-concern language from August 2018 was never followed up. On 2018-08-13 Marathon said there was substantial doubt it could fund operations for the next twelve months, a window ending 2019-08-13 (claim 15462). That was the last time the company addressed its runway, and the claim now sits at not_yet_verifiable after passing through delayed. The record does not show the doubt being lifted or the 2019-08-13 horizon being revisited. It also does not say how the cryptocurrency mining expansion announced in the same filing (claim 15459) was to be paid for, and no capacity or timing figures for that expansion appear afterward.
Opus Analytics has disappeared from the record. On 2015-03-25 Marathon described it as a software-as-a-service offering (claim 21010). It is the only product claim from that year, and no later disclosure mentions it as launched, wound down, sold or written off.
The patent licensing business was dropped without an account of what happened to it. Between 2013-02-04 and 2014-03-30 Marathon built its identity around patent acquisition and licensing (claims 21043 and 21014). It listed purchased portfolios from Siemens, Zhone, Delphi, Intergraph, Mosaid, TeleCommunication Systems, CyberFone and Sampo (claims 21015 through 21035), licensing agreements with Siemens and Zhone (claims 21018 and 21022), and IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (claim 21024). By August 2018 the disclosures had turned to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). Nothing on file says whether those portfolios were sold, abandoned or allowed to lapse, whether the licensing agreements were still producing revenue, or when the IP Navigation relationship ended. Similarly, the plan to explore selling the real estate business, first raised on 2013-02-04 (claim 21044), never reappears and was never reported as completed or abandoned.
The July 2018 Nasdaq deadlines are a contrast. The ledger still shows four of them as not_yet_verifiable (claims 15465 through 15468). However, the disclosure of 2018-08-21 reports that Michael Berg and Fred Thiel joined the board as committee chairs and that compliance had been regained (claims 15435, 15437 and 15438). That appears to settle the matter on the record, even though the status entries have not been reconciled with it.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-16The 10-K for fiscal 2017 carries a stated filing deadline of April 15, 2018 (claim 16645). The claim comes from an April 1, 2018 disclosure that also names an interim chief executive (claim 16644). Its status has moved between stated, delayed and not_yet_verifiable, and it now sits at not_yet_verifiable. Nothing in the record confirms that the report was filed on time, says when it was ultimately filed, or explains any lateness.
The July 12, 2018 Nasdaq deficiency set out three deadlines. A compliance plan was due by August 24, 2018 (claim 15466), two new independent directors were to be in place by January 7, 2019 (claims 15465 and 15467), and compensation committee compliance was due by June 28, 2019 (claim 15468). All four claims auto-transitioned to delayed and now read not_yet_verifiable. The August 21, 2018 disclosure says compliance was regained (claim 15438) and names Michael Berg and Fred Thiel to board and committee roles (claims 15435 and 15437). That points to early resolution, but the company never tied the cure back to each deadline. In particular, it has not said whether the separate compensation committee requirement was satisfied or simply absorbed into the general statement of compliance.
The August 13, 2018 disclosure raised doubt about whether cash would last twelve months, which implies a horizon of roughly August 13, 2019 (claim 15462). That was the last time the record mentions the subject. The claim now sits at not_yet_verifiable. No later statement says whether the doubt was lifted, by what financing, or whether the going-concern language was carried into later filings. The same filing introduced cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459) and a 10,000,000-share equity incentive reserve (claim 15460). Neither has a quantified follow-up in the record.
The Global Bit Ventures merger was reported terminated on June 28, 2018 (claim 15477). On August 13, 2018 the company described a break-up fee payable in 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). That claim's status moved from stated to delayed to not_yet_verifiable and back to stated. The record contains no confirmation that the shares were issued, at what value, or to whom. The fee is never mentioned again.
The patent-monetization business is the largest thing to fall out of view. In 2013 and 2014 the company built itself around buying, licensing and enforcing patents. The record lists portfolio purchases from Mosaid, Intergraph, Delphi, TeleCommunication Systems, CyberFone, Siemens and Zhone (claims 21016 through 21023, 21029, 21031 and 21035), along with licensing arrangements, a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim 21024), and ongoing enforcement litigation (claim 21025). The last product mention is the Opus Analytics SaaS offering on March 25, 2015 (claim 21010). The real-estate disposition announced as under exploration in February 2013 (claim 21044) never resurfaces either. By 2018 the disclosures speak only of cryptocurrency mining. The record does not say whether the portfolios were sold, abandoned or allowed to lapse, how the litigation ended, or what became of the Opus Analytics product. Separately, the April 2013 claims about African operations and the Mara Foundation (claims 20897 through 20903) appear to describe an unrelated Mara Group entity and may be misattributed rather than abandoned. This review covers the portion of the ledger supplied, which ends partway through the October 2018 disclosures.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-16Opus Analytics, the SaaS tool introduced in the 2015-03-25 disclosure (claim 21010), is the clearest item that simply disappears. It arrived as an extension of the IP acquisition and monetization business described in 2013 and 2014 (claims 21043, 21014), which was built on a long run of patent portfolio purchases from Sampo, Mosaid, CyberFone, Siemens, Zhone, Intergraph, Delphi and TeleCommunication Systems (claims 21015 through 21035). After March 2015 the record has nothing on Opus Analytics or on the portfolios. When disclosures resume in 2018 the company is discussing cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). Nothing on record explains whether the tool launched, whether the patents were sold, licensed out or abandoned, or how the enforcement litigation noted in claim 21025 concluded.
The real estate disposition exploration flagged on 2013-02-04 (claim 21044) belongs to the same pattern. It was raised once, alongside the name change and the Sampo acquisition, and never came up again. The ledger still holds it as stated, with no follow-up describing a sale, a write-down or a decision to keep the assets.
The 2018 annual report deadline in claim 16645 was set for 2018-04-15, in the same disclosure that named an interim chief executive (claim 16644). The automated ledger moved it to delayed on 2026-09-20 and then to not_yet_verifiable on 2026-10-09. The claims on record include no confirmation that the 10-K was filed on time and no notice of a late filing. The leadership change around that date makes the missing confirmation more noticeable.
The 12-month cash runway warning dated 2018-08-13 (claim 15462) ran to 2019-08-13 and has followed the same path, from stated to delayed to not_yet_verifiable. Nothing in the record says whether the going-concern doubt was resolved, by what financing, or whether it carried into later periods. The 10,000,000-share equity plan reserve in claim 15460 is the only capital-related item disclosed in the same window.
The Nasdaq remediation sequence from 2018-07-12 (claims 15465 through 15468) is partly answered. On 2018-08-21 the company reported board appointments (claims 15435, 15437) and said it had regained compliance (claim 15438), which appears to cover the director and compensation committee items. The 2018-08-24 compliance plan submission in claim 15466 has no separate confirmation, however, and all four claims remain not_yet_verifiable in the ledger. The Global Bit Ventures termination (claims 15477, 15461) is also loosely tied off. The 3,000,000-share break-up fee went from stated to delayed to not_yet_verifiable and back to stated on 2026-10-10, but nothing on record says whether those shares were issued or on what terms. The claims supplied here end mid-entry in October 2018, so later disclosures may address some of these points. The Mara Group entries (claims 20895 through 20903) appear to describe an unrelated company and were not treated as walk-backs.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-15Opus Analytics, the patent-analytics SaaS tool introduced in the 2015-03-25 disclosures (claim 21010), is the clearest product that simply disappears. It was presented as an offering, not an exploration, and its only status is stated, set by automated extraction on 2026-09-27. No later claim on record mentions it again, whether as launched, licensed, sold or discontinued. The same is true of the broader IP acquisition and monetization business it supported (claims 21043, 21014, 21013). That business was described in detail through 2014-03-30, and then the record moves to cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459, 2018-08-13) without any disclosure explaining how the patent portfolio or its licensing relationships were wound down, written off or retained.
The 10-K annual report filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim 16645) was raised on 2018-04-01, the same date an interim chief executive was named (claim 16644). Its ledger shows a quick progression from stated to delayed on 2026-09-20, then to not_yet_verifiable on 2026-10-09. Nothing on record confirms that the report was filed on time, filed late under an extension, or what caused the leadership change that coincided with it. The deadline has neither been met in the record nor formally revised.
The Nasdaq compliance package from 2018-07-12 is partly resolved and partly silent. It covered a compliance plan due 2018-08-24 (claim 15466), a listing-rule deadline of 2019-01-07 (claim 15467), a compensation committee deadline of 2019-06-28 (claim 15468) and the appointment of two independent directors by 2019-01-07 (claim 15465). An announcement on 2018-08-21 that compliance had been regained (claim 15438), together with the appointments of Michael Berg and Fred Thiel (claims 15435, 15437), appears to answer much of this. However, the company has never explicitly tied those announcements to each of the four commitments. All four were auto-marked delayed on 2026-09-15 and now sit at not_yet_verifiable as of 2026-10-09. In particular, nothing confirms that the compensation committee requirement was fully satisfied, or that the plan submission happened by its date.
The going-concern language of 2018-08-13 (claim 15462) set out a twelve-month cash runway uncertainty measured to 2019-08-13. That claim also moved from stated to delayed to not_yet_verifiable. The record holds no subsequent statement that the uncertainty was lifted, that new financing removed it, or that the window passed with the caveat still in place. The 10,000,000-share equity incentive reserve disclosed the same day (claim 15460) and the CEO option grants that followed (claims 15385, 15386) are documented. How operations were to be funded through the period is not.
The Global Bit Ventures merger was reported as terminated on 2018-06-28 (claim 15477), alongside director resignations (claim 15476). The 2018-08-13 disclosure then attached a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). The status history of that fee is unusually unsettled: stated, then delayed on 2026-09-15, then not_yet_verifiable on 2026-10-09, then back to stated on 2026-10-10. Nothing on record says whether the shares were actually issued, on what terms, or why the merger was abandoned.
These observations are limited to the claims supplied, which end in October 2018. Later disclosures may address some of these points, but they are not reflected in the ledger as provided.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-15The patent-monetization business that defined the company from 2013 through 2015 has no recorded ending. Claims 21043, 21013, 21014 and 21025 describe an IP acquisition and licensing operation built on portfolios bought from Mosaid, CyberFone, Delphi, Siemens, Zhone, Intergraph and others (claims 21016, 21017, 21023, 21031, 21035, 21020). The last product-level mention is the Opus Analytics SaaS offering on 2015-03-25 (claim 21010). By 2018-08-13 the record describes cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459) without any intervening statement on record about what happened to the patent portfolios, the pending enforcement litigation, or the Opus Analytics product. The same pattern applies to the real estate disposition exploration flagged on 2013-02-04 (claim 21044), which was never mentioned again.
The 2018 annual report deadline carries an unresolved trail. Claim 16645, dated 2018-04-01 and alongside the appointment of an interim chief executive (claim 16644), set a 10-K filing date of 2018-04-15. When that date passed with no confirming disclosure in the record, the item was automatically moved to delayed and later to not_yet_verifiable. Nothing on file says whether the report was filed on time, filed under an extension, or filed late. Nothing explains how the leadership change bore on the timing.
The July 2018 Nasdaq deficiency produced four dated commitments: a compliance plan by 2018-08-24 (claim 15466), two new independent directors and listing-rule compliance by 2019-01-07 (claims 15465 and 15467), and compensation committee compliance by 2019-06-28 (claim 15468). All four were auto-transitioned to delayed and then to not_yet_verifiable. The record does contain a 2018-08-21 statement that compliance was regained (claim 15438), along with the appointments of Michael Berg and Fred Thiel to committee chairs (claims 15435 and 15437). What has not been said is whether that statement resolved every one of the separately dated obligations, the compensation committee requirement in particular, or only the board-independence deficiency.
The going-concern language of 2018-08-13 has never been revisited. Claim 15462 recorded uncertainty about whether the company had twelve months of cash, a window ending 2019-08-13. It came in the same filing as the share-based break-up fee for the terminated Global Bit Ventures merger (claim 15461) and a new 10 million share equity incentive reserve (claim 15460). The claim has since lapsed to not_yet_verifiable. No later disclosure on record states that the runway concern was resolved, how it was financed, or what dilution resulted.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-15The 2017 annual report deadline (claim 16645) was disclosed on 2018-04-01 alongside an interim CEO appointment (claim 16644), with a committed filing date of 2018-04-15. The ledger moved this claim to delayed on 2026-09-20 and then to not_yet_verifiable on 2026-10-09. Both changes were automated, and neither followed a company statement. Nothing on record confirms when the 10-K was actually filed, whether a Form 12b-25 extension was used, or whether the interim leadership arrangement played a part. Management has not addressed the deadline since it was set.
The NASDAQ compliance commitments of 2018-07-12 included a compliance plan due 2018-08-24 (claim 15466), two new independent directors by 2019-01-07 (claim 15465), and listing-rule and compensation-committee deadlines of 2019-01-07 and 2019-06-28 (claims 15467 and 15468). Each was auto-transitioned to delayed and then not_yet_verifiable. A 2018-08-21 disclosure does state that compliance was regained (claim 15438), naming Michael Berg as audit committee chair (claim 15435) and Fred Thiel as compensation committee chair (claim 15437). That suggests at least part of this cluster was satisfied early. However, the company never tied that announcement back to the specific obligations, and the compensation-committee deadline that ran to mid-2019 was never confirmed as met. The ledger has not been reconciled either. These items may be stale rather than slipped, but the company has not closed them out explicitly.
The 2018-08-13 disclosures flagged uncertainty about whether cash would last twelve months, a window running to 2019-08-13 (claim 15462). The same filings described the Global Bit Ventures merger termination as carrying a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). The runway claim was auto-moved to not_yet_verifiable, and the record contains no later statement that the going-concern risk was resolved or how the gap was funded. The break-up fee claim moved from stated to delayed to not_yet_verifiable and back to stated, all within the ledger. Nothing on record confirms that the shares were issued or what they cost existing holders. The earlier termination notice of 2018-06-28 (claim 15477) came with director resignations (claim 15476) that were never explained.
The intellectual-property strategy that defined the company from 2013 through 2015 has dropped out of the record. That strategy included patent acquisition and monetization (claim 21043), a long list of portfolio purchases from Sampo, Mosaid, Siemens, Zhone, Delphi, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, CyberFone and TT IP (claims 21015 through 21035), and the Opus Analytics SaaS offering (claim 21010, last mentioned 2015-03-25). By 2018 the disclosures turn to cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459) without saying whether the patents were sold, abandoned, or allowed to lapse, or whether Opus Analytics ever launched commercially. The real estate disposition first explored in 2013 (claim 21044) never received a follow-up announcement. Likewise, no later disclosure addresses the IP Navigation Group supplier relationship (claim 21024) or the open enforcement litigation (claim 21025).
What we haven't been told
2026-10-15Marathon's July 12, 2018 disclosures set out a NASDAQ remediation timetable: a compliance plan due by August 24, 2018 (claim 15466), two new independent directors by January 7, 2019 (claim 15465), compliance with the listing rules by that same date (claim 15467), and a compensation-committee fix by June 28, 2019 (claim 15468). Each of these was automatically marked delayed and now sits at not_yet_verifiable. The record does contain partial answers. On August 21, 2018 the company said it had regained compliance with a NASDAQ listing rule (claim 15438) and named Michael Berg and Fred Thiel to board and committee roles (claims 15435, 15437). What has not been said is which deadline that resolved. The company has not tied the regained compliance to the January 2019 director requirement, and nothing on record confirms the June 2019 compensation-committee deadline was met.
The August 13, 2018 filing flagged doubt about whether the company had 12 months of cash, with that horizon running to August 13, 2019 (claim 15462). That claim has moved from stated to delayed to not_yet_verifiable. No later disclosure on record says whether the going-concern doubt was resolved, how it was resolved, or whether it was carried into subsequent filings. The company's next steps were a new chief executive, Merrick Okamoto, with substantial option grants (claims 15384 through 15389), and a stated expansion of cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). Neither was accompanied by any update on the runway.
The termination of the Global Bit Ventures merger was first disclosed on June 28, 2018 (claim 15477). It was restated on August 13, 2018 with a break-up fee payable in 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). The status of the fee has moved back and forth: stated, then delayed, then not_yet_verifiable, and back to stated. No disclosure on record confirms that the shares were actually issued, when they were issued, or at what value they were recorded. The directors who resigned alongside the termination (claim 15476) are not named or explained in later disclosures.
The April 1, 2018 disclosure named an interim chief executive (claim 16644) and referred to a 10-K filing deadline of April 15, 2018 (claim 16645). That deadline was automatically marked delayed and is now not_yet_verifiable. The record contains no statement that the annual report was filed on time or under an extension, and none that explains the circumstances of the interim leadership arrangement.
The patent-monetization business has not been formally wound down in the record; it has simply stopped appearing. Between 2013 and 2015 that business was described in detail: the Sampo, Mosaid, CyberFone, Siemens, Intergraph, Delphi and other portfolio acquisitions (claims 21015 through 21035), licensing agreements with Siemens and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022), the IP Navigation Group supplier relationship (claim 21024), and the Opus Analytics SaaS offering (claim 21010). It is also absent from everything on record from 2018 onward, when disclosures turn to mining. The company has not said whether the portfolios were sold, abandoned or impaired, what happened to Opus Analytics, or whether the 2013 exploration of a real-estate disposition (claim 21044) was ever concluded. The 2013 claims about African operations and the Mara Foundation (claims 20897 through 20903) appear to describe an unrelated Mara Group entity and should not be read as Marathon commitments that lapsed.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-15Marathon's patent-monetization business has no recorded wind-down. In March 2014 the company described a portfolio built from acquisitions of Sampo, TT IP, Mosaid, Siemens, Zhone, TeleCommunication Systems, Delphi, Intergraph and CyberFone patents (claims 21013–21023, 21028–21035), along with licensing agreements, active enforcement litigation (21025) and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (21024). The last addition to that line of business on record is the Opus Analytics SaaS tool, introduced on 2015-03-25 (21010) and never mentioned again. By August 2018 the disclosures describe cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459). Nothing on record says whether the patents were sold, abandoned or written down, whether the Siemens and Zhone licenses or the IP Navigation relationship were ended, or what became of Opus Analytics.
The real-estate disposition first raised on 2013-02-04 (21044) appears once. The record has no later statement that a sale was completed, abandoned or still under consideration. That earliest restructuring left no visible end point.
The Global Bit Ventures merger was reported terminated on 2018-06-28 (15477), on the same date as director resignations (15476). An August 2018 filing then referred to a termination with a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (15461), a claim whose status has moved between stated, delayed and not_yet_verifiable in the ledger. The record does not explain why the deal ended, which side was paid the fee, or whether the shares were actually issued.
On 2018-08-13 management disclosed uncertainty about having 12 months of cash, running to 2019-08-13 (15462). That claim is now not_yet_verifiable after an automated delayed flag. Nothing on record says the uncertainty was resolved, whether new financing closed, or how the runway turned out. The 10-K due 2018-04-15 (16645), filed under an interim CEO (16644), is in a similar position. It was marked delayed and is now not_yet_verifiable, and no disclosure on record confirms when the report was filed or why it may have been late.
The July 2018 Nasdaq deadlines (15465–15468) are a different case and should not be read as silent walk-backs. They also sit at not_yet_verifiable. However, the record shows Michael Berg and Fred Thiel appointed to board committee chair roles and listing compliance regained on 2018-08-21 (15435, 15437, 15438), which appears to resolve them. The ledger has not yet been reconciled. Claims 20895–20903, covering the Mara Foundation, the Thakkar family leadership and operations in African countries, appear to describe Mara Group, an unrelated company, and were excluded from this review.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-14The patent licensing business that defined the company from 2013 through 2015 has no recorded ending. In February 2013 management described an IP acquisition, development and monetization strategy (claim 21043), and the 2014 annual disclosures listed a long run of portfolio purchases from Mosaid, CyberFone, Siemens, Zhone, TeleCommunication Systems, Delphi, Intergraph and TT IP (claims 21015 through 21035), along with licensing agreements with Siemens and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022), a supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim 21024), and active enforcement litigation (claim 21025). The last related item is the Opus Analytics SaaS tool, mentioned on 2015-03-25 (claim 21010). The next disclosures on record, from 2018, concern cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). Nothing in the ledger says what happened to the portfolios, whether the licenses still produce revenue, whether the litigation was settled or dropped, or whether the assets were sold, written down or allowed to lapse.
The plan to explore disposing of the legacy real estate business, stated on 2013-02-04 (claim 21044), was never mentioned again. The ledger records no completed sale, no buyer, no price, and no decision to keep the assets.
The 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15, raised alongside the interim CEO appointment on 2018-04-01 (claim 16645), has no confirmation that the report was filed on time. The ledger auto-transitioned the claim to delayed and then to not_yet_verifiable. Management has not said whether the deadline was met or extended. The 12-month cash runway warning dated 2018-08-13, with a horizon of 2019-08-13 (claim 15462), also passed without a follow-up statement on record. It remains not_yet_verifiable, and nothing later says whether the going-concern uncertainty was resolved or how.
The Global Bit Ventures merger termination is resolved only in part. The termination appears on 2018-06-28 (claim 15477) and is restated on 2018-08-13 with a break-up fee payable in 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). That second claim has moved between stated, delayed, not_yet_verifiable and back to stated, which suggests the source material never clearly said whether the shares were issued. The ledger also records no explanation of why the merger was abandoned, and the same-day director resignations (claim 15476) are not tied to any stated reason.
The July 2018 NASDAQ deficiency items (claims 15465 through 15468) carry auto-transitioned not_yet_verifiable statuses. However, a 2018-08-21 disclosure reports that compliance was regained and that new audit and compensation committee chairs were appointed (claims 15435, 15437, 15438), so these appear substantively resolved rather than walked back. Two caveats apply to this section. The 2013 entries naming the Mara Foundation, the Thakkar family and African operations (claims 20897 through 20903, 20895, 20896) appear to describe an unrelated Mara Group entity and should not be read as abandoned company commitments. The ledger supplied here is also truncated after mid-October 2018, so the later mining-era record has not been assessed.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-13In July 2018 the company set out a sequence of NASDAQ governance commitments: a compliance plan due by 24 August 2018 (claim 15466), restored compliance with listing rules by 7 January 2019 (claim 15467), two new independent directors by the same date (claim 15465), and a compliant compensation committee by 28 June 2019 (claim 15468). On 21 August 2018 the company reported that compliance had been regained (claim 15438), and it named Michael Berg as audit committee chair and Fred Thiel as compensation committee chair (claims 15435, 15437). After that, the disclosures on record do not return to the individual commitments. The ledger has not confirmed that both promised independent directors were seated, or that the compensation committee met the requirement by its June 2019 deadline. All four claims were automatically moved to delayed and then to not_yet_verifiable. The company has not said whether the August 2018 announcement satisfied each separate obligation or only the most pressing one.
On 1 April 2018, under an interim chief executive (claim 16644), the company referred to a 10-K filing deadline of 15 April 2018 (claim 16645). No later disclosure on record confirms that the report was filed on time or under an extension. The claim was automatically marked delayed and is now not_yet_verifiable. Management also has not tied the filing timeline to the leadership change happening at the same moment.
The August 2018 quarterly disclosures raised doubt about whether the company had twelve months of cash, running to 13 August 2019 (claim 15462). That language appeared alongside a cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459) and a new 10,000,000-share equity incentive reserve (claim 15460). No later statement on record either removes the going-concern caveat or explains how the runway question was resolved. The claim has passed through delayed to not_yet_verifiable without any follow-up.
The Global Bit Ventures merger was reported as terminated on 28 June 2018 (claim 15477), together with director resignations (claim 15476). In August 2018 the company described a break-up arrangement settled in 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). That claim's status has changed several times, from stated to delayed to not_yet_verifiable and back to stated, which suggests the record of how the fee was settled is not clear. Management has not explained the reasons for the termination or the dilution that resulted from the fee, beyond the bare figures.
Several initiatives from the company's patent-monetization years have dropped out of later disclosures without any stated conclusion. These include the February 2013 plan to explore disposing of a real estate business (claim 21044), the March 2015 Opus Analytics SaaS offering (claim 21010), and the supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group described in March 2014 (claim 21024). None appears in later filings on record, and the company has not announced a sale, shutdown, or write-down for any of them. A group of April 2013 and early 2014 records concerning African operations, the Mara Foundation, and partnerships with UN Women and EY (claims 20895 to 20903) appears to describe an unrelated entity with a similar name. Those records have been left out of this assessment.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-13Opus Analytics, the SaaS tool introduced in the March 25, 2015 disclosure (claim 21010), is the clearest disappearance on the record. It was presented as a new offering alongside the patent-monetization business (claims 21043, 21014). No later claim mentions it again, in any form. The ledger still holds it as stated because nothing has superseded it. The company has not said whether the product launched, earned revenue, or was shut down. The patent business it sat next to is also absent from every disclosure after 2015, and the record contains no statement winding it down before the 2018 turn to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459).
The February 4, 2013 filing said management was exploring a disposition of its real estate business (claim 21044). That is the only mention. There is no later claim announcing a sale or spin-off, and none ending the effort. The real estate operations simply drop out of the record once the company is renamed Marathon Patent Group (claim 21045).
The April 1, 2018 disclosure set April 15, 2018 as the 10-K filing deadline (claim 16645). The ledger moved this item from stated to delayed on September 20, 2026, then to not_yet_verifiable on October 9, 2026. Nothing on file confirms a timely filing, an NT 10-K extension, or a late filing date. The same disclosure named an interim chief executive (claim 16644). That appointment had no follow-up until Merrick Okamoto appears as CEO and Chairman on October 15, 2018 (claim 15384).
The August 13, 2018 disclosure raised doubt about whether the company had 12 months of cash runway, through August 13, 2019 (claim 15462). The ledger has since moved this to not_yet_verifiable. Later claims on the record cover stock options and executive pay (claims 15385, 15390–15396), but none says whether the going-concern doubt was resolved, deepened, or addressed with new financing.
The July 2018 Nasdaq deficiency items were partly closed out and partly left unexplained. Their deadlines ran from August 24, 2018 to June 28, 2019 (claims 15466, 15467, 15465, 15468). An August 21, 2018 claim says listing-rule compliance was regained, with Michael Berg and Fred Thiel appointed to board committee roles (claims 15438, 15435, 15437). That covers the director and audit-committee items. It does not say whether the separate compensation-committee requirement, due June 28, 2019 (claim 15468), was satisfied by the same appointments. The ledger still carries all four items as not_yet_verifiable. The transition dates in this ledger reflect re-evaluation in September and October 2026, not company statements, and the supplied record ends in late 2018, so later filings may address some of these points.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-13Marathon's 2018 annual report is the clearest open thread. On 2018-04-01 the company disclosed an interim chief executive (claim 16644) and a 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim 16645). That deadline passed and the ledger moved it to delayed on 2026-09-20 and to not_yet_verifiable on 2026-10-09. The disclosures on record contain no follow-up confirming when the report was filed or why the date was missed, and no statement explaining the leadership change that coincided with it.
The going-concern language from August 2018 has no stated resolution. On 2018-08-13 management flagged uncertainty about whether cash would last twelve months, a window ending 2019-08-13 (claim 15462). The ledger now carries it as not_yet_verifiable after a delayed transition. No later disclosure on record says the runway was extended, financed, or no longer in doubt. The same filing reserved 10 million shares for a new equity plan (claim 15460), and the record does not tie that dilution capacity to the funding gap.
The July 2018 NASDAQ remediation was only partly closed out. Four dated commitments were made on 2018-07-12: a compliance plan by 2018-08-24 (claim 15466), two new independent directors by 2019-01-07 (claim 15465), restored listing-rule compliance by the same date (claim 15467), and compensation-committee compliance by 2019-06-28 (claim 15468). The 2018-08-21 disclosures do report that compliance was regained (claim 15438) and that Michael Berg and Fred Thiel were appointed (claims 15435, 15437), which appears to answer the first three. Nothing on record separately confirms the compensation-committee requirement was met by its later deadline. All four still show as not_yet_verifiable in the ledger.
The Global Bit Ventures merger ended without a stated rationale. Directors resigned on 2018-06-28 and the merger was reported terminated the same day (claims 15476, 15477). The 2018-08-13 filing added that the termination carried a break-up fee payable in 3 million shares (claim 15461). That claim moved through delayed and not_yet_verifiable before being reset to stated on 2026-10-10. The record does not explain why the deal collapsed, why directors left alongside it, or what the share-based fee cost existing holders.
Several earlier business lines simply stop appearing. The 2013 disclosures promised to explore disposing of the legacy real estate business (claim 21044), and the 2014 filings described an active patent licensing and enforcement operation built on portfolios acquired from Mosaid, Siemens, Intergraph, Delphi and others (claims 21013 to 21035). The Opus Analytics SaaS product was announced on 2015-03-25 (claim 21010). None of these is mentioned again before the August 2018 shift to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The record contains no statement that the real estate sale was completed, that the patent portfolios were sold, abandoned, or written down, or that Opus Analytics was discontinued.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-13Opus Analytics, the SaaS tool Marathon described in its 2015-03-25 disclosures (claim 21010), appears once and does not recur. No later claim on record mentions the product's launch, revenue, sale, or discontinuation. The company's 2018 disclosures move straight to cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459), and Opus Analytics drops out without any statement about what became of it.
The patent-monetization business was laid out in detail in the 2014-03-30 filing. It included portfolios acquired from Siemens, Zhone, Delphi, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Mosaid and CyberFone (claims 21016 through 21035), licensing agreements with Siemens and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022), a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim 21024), and active enforcement litigation (claim 21025). All of these remain marked 'stated' as of their 2014 extraction. Nothing on record explains how the portfolios were disposed of, whether the licensing arrangements or the IP Navigation relationship were terminated, or how the litigation was resolved before the company presented itself as a mining operator. The 2013 plan to explore disposing of the real estate business (claim 21044) is in the same position: it was announced once and never closed out.
The 2018-07-12 Nasdaq remediation commitments set out specific dates. A compliance plan was due by 2018-08-24 (claim 15466), two new independent directors were to be in place and listing compliance restored by 2019-01-07 (claims 15465, 15467), and compensation-committee compliance was due by 2019-06-28 (claim 15468). All four passed their dates without a confirming statement, were automatically marked 'delayed' on 2026-09-15, and now sit at 'not_yet_verifiable'. The record does contain related events from 2018-08-21: Michael Berg's and Fred Thiel's board appointments (claims 15435, 15437) and a statement that one listing rule was back in compliance (claim 15438). The substance may therefore have been addressed. What is missing is any statement tying those events to each of the four commitments, in particular the separate compensation-committee deadline.
The 2018-08-13 disclosure raised doubt about whether the company had 12 months of cash runway, a window that ran to 2019-08-13 (claim 15462). That claim has followed the same path through 'delayed' to 'not_yet_verifiable'. No later claim on record says whether the uncertainty was resolved, through what financing, or whether the going-concern language was withdrawn. The 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim 16645) also has no confirmation of timely filing on record.
The Global Bit Ventures merger termination (claims 15477, 15461) came with a break-up fee payable in 3,000,000 shares. The ledger briefly moved this claim to 'delayed' and then 'not_yet_verifiable' before returning it to 'stated' on 2026-10-10. Nothing on record confirms that the shares were issued or describes their effect on the share count. Management has not revisited the transaction since the 2018-08-13 disclosure.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-12Opus Analytics, the software-as-a-service tool described in the 2015-03-25 disclosure (claim 21010), appears once and does not resurface in any later disclosure on record. It arrived alongside a patent-monetization business built on licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022) and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim 21024), all last described on 2014-03-30 and all still carried as stated. Nothing in the record says whether Opus Analytics launched, generated revenue, or was discontinued. Nothing says how the licensing relationships ended as the company turned toward cryptocurrency mining in 2018 (claim 15459).
The 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim 16645) was disclosed on 2018-04-01, alongside the appointment of an interim chief executive (claim 16644). The ledger moved it automatically to delayed and then to not_yet_verifiable on 2026-10-09. No disclosure on record confirms when the annual report was filed or whether an extension was used.
The 12-month cash runway uncertainty disclosed on 2018-08-13 (claim 15462) set a window that closed on 2019-08-13. It was likewise auto-transitioned to delayed and then not_yet_verifiable. The record contains no later statement on whether the going-concern doubt was resolved, what financing closed it, or whether the uncertainty was carried forward.
The Global Bit Ventures merger was reported terminated on 2018-06-28 (claim 15477). On 2018-08-13 the company disclosed a break-up fee payable in 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). That claim's status has moved from stated to delayed to not_yet_verifiable and back to stated as recently as 2026-10-10. No disclosure on record confirms that the shares were issued, or on what date.
The NASDAQ remediation commitments of 2018-07-12 had deadlines running from 2018-08-24 to 2019-06-28: a compliance plan, two new independent directors, listing-rule compliance, and compensation-committee compliance (claims 15466, 15465, 15467, 15468). All four now sit at not_yet_verifiable. Later disclosures suggest most were met rather than abandoned. On 2018-08-21 the company reported regaining listing-rule compliance (claim 15438) and appointed Michael Berg as audit committee chair and Fred Thiel as compensation committee chair (claims 15435, 15437). What has not been said is a direct closing statement tying those appointments to each deadline, in particular the compensation-committee requirement due 2019-06-28.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-12The patent-monetization business is the clearest disappearance. In the March 2014 disclosures management described a patent portfolio built through acquisitions from Sampo IP, Mosaid Technologies, CyberFone Systems, TeleCommunication Systems, Delphi Technologies, Intergraph, Siemens and Zhone, along with licensing agreements with Siemens and Zhone, active enforcement litigation, and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claims 21013 through 21035). The last related mention is the Opus Analytics SaaS offering on 2015-03-25 (claim 21010). By August 2018 the record describes cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459). Each of these claims still sits at 'stated', and nothing on record says whether the portfolios were sold, abandoned, written down or left to expire, or how the pending litigation and licensing relationships ended.
Two early strategic intentions also have no recorded outcome. On 2013-02-04 the company said it was exploring a disposition of its real estate business (claim 21044), and on 2013-05-16 it stated an intent to list on the NASDAQ Capital Market (claim 21037). Both remain at 'stated'. The record contains no follow-up on whether the real estate operations were sold or on what terms. The listing appears to have happened only by implication, through the 2018 NASDAQ compliance correspondence.
The 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim 16645) was raised on 2018-04-01, alongside the appointment of an interim chief executive (claim 16644). It has since moved from 'stated' to 'delayed' to 'not_yet_verifiable'. No later disclosure on record confirms when the annual report was filed or explains the circumstances behind the deadline being flagged.
The 12-month cash runway uncertainty disclosed on 2018-08-13 (claim 15462) carried a horizon of 2019-08-13 and is now 'not_yet_verifiable'. Nothing on record says how that uncertainty was resolved, whether through financing, revenue or a going-concern conclusion. The same filing set aside 10 million shares under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (claim 15460). Within weeks it was followed by option grants of 2.5 million and then 5 million shares to the incoming chief executive (claims 15385, 15389), with no reconciliation of those grants against the stated liquidity concern.
The July 2018 NASDAQ deficiency cluster (claims 15465 through 15468) shows deadlines running to January and June 2019 that were auto-transitioned to 'not_yet_verifiable'. This looks more like a ledger gap than a walk-back. The 2018-08-21 disclosures report regained compliance (claim 15438) and two board appointments, Michael Berg and Fred Thiel (claims 15435, 15437), which appear to satisfy the two-director requirement. Those status flags should probably be revisited rather than presented as silence. Similarly, the Global Bit Ventures termination fee of 3 million shares (claim 15461) has settled back to 'stated', but the record does not say whether those shares were in fact issued.
Two caveats apply to this record. The 2013-04-04 claims about Mara Foundation, the Thakkar family and operations in 19 African and 26 global countries (claims 20897 through 20903), along with the 2014 UN Women and EY partnerships (claims 20895, 20896), appear to belong to the unrelated Mara Group and should not be read as Marathon commitments. The ledger supplied here is also truncated after mid-October 2018, so later disclosures may address some of these gaps.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-12The patent-monetization business that defined the company's earlier disclosures has dropped out of view without a stated disposition. Between February 2013 and March 2015 management described an IP acquisition, development and monetization model (claim 21043), a run of portfolio purchases including Sampo, Mosaid, CyberFone, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph and Delphi (claims 21015 through 21023), licensing arrangements with Siemens and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022), and a supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim 21024). The last product-level mention is the Opus Analytics SaaS tool on 2015-03-25 (claim 21010). The real estate disposition first raised as something being explored in February 2013 (claim 21044) has no follow-up claim on record. By August 2018 the disclosures describe cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459). The record reviewed contains no statement on what became of the patent portfolios, the licensing revenue, the litigation activity flagged in claim 21025, or the Opus Analytics product.
The 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15, disclosed on 2018-04-01 alongside the appointment of an interim chief executive (claims 16645, 16644), has no confirming follow-up on the ledger. The claim moved automatically from stated to delayed on 2026-09-20 and to not_yet_verifiable on 2026-10-09. The record does not show whether the filing was made on time or late, or whether an extension was sought.
On 2018-07-12 the company set out a series of NASDAQ compliance commitments: a compliance plan by 2018-08-24, two new independent directors and listing-rule compliance by 2019-01-07, and a compensation committee fix by 2019-06-28 (claims 15466, 15465, 15467, 15468). All four were auto-transitioned to delayed on 2026-09-15 and to not_yet_verifiable on 2026-10-09. The 2018-08-21 disclosure of Michael Berg and Fred Thiel joining the board, with a statement that compliance had been regained (claims 15435, 15437, 15438), appears to address most of this. However, the company did not tie that announcement to the specific deadlines it had published, and the compensation committee item is not explicitly closed on the record.
The 2018-08-13 disclosure flagged uncertainty about whether cash would cover the following twelve months (claim 15462), which puts the horizon at 2019-08-13. That claim followed the same automatic path, from delayed on 2026-09-15 to not_yet_verifiable on 2026-10-09. Nothing in the record reviewed says whether the runway concern was resolved, how it was funded, or whether the going-concern language was later withdrawn.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-11The 10-K deadline in the April 2018 leadership transition. On 2018-04-01, alongside the appointment of an interim chief executive (claim 16644), the company referenced an annual report filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim 16645). That date passed without a follow-up statement in the record confirming a timely filing or explaining a late one. The ledger first auto-transitioned the claim to delayed and now holds it at not_yet_verifiable. Nothing in the subsequent disclosures on record ties the filing to the interim leadership change or says when the report was actually filed.
The twelve-month cash runway warning. The August 2018 disclosures flagged uncertainty about whether the company could fund operations through 2019-08-13 (claim 15462). In the same period it described expanding into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459) and reserved 10 million shares under a new equity incentive plan (claim 15460). The record contains no later statement saying the runway concern was resolved, what financing closed it, or whether the mining expansion went ahead at the scale implied. The claim was auto-transitioned to delayed and now sits at not_yet_verifiable.
The Global Bit Ventures break-up fee. The June 2018 termination of the Global Bit Ventures merger (claim 15477) came with a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares, described in August 2018 (claim 15461). That claim has moved more than any other on file: stated, then delayed, then not_yet_verifiable, and back to stated on 2026-10-10. The record does not show whether the shares were issued, on what date, or at what dilution. The board resignations disclosed the same day (claim 15476) were never connected to the termination in any statement on record.
The real estate disposition. When the company renamed itself Marathon Patent Group in February 2013 (claim 21045) and pivoted to intellectual property acquisition and monetization (claim 21043), it said it was exploring a disposition of its legacy real estate business (claim 21044). That is the only mention on record. No later disclosure says whether the assets were sold, written down, or retained. The claim remains at stated, with no completion or abandonment ever announced.
Opus Analytics and the IP Navigation relationship. In March 2015 the company introduced Opus Analytics, a software-as-a-service offering (claim 21010). It was the one product line on record that was not patent licensing or litigation. A year earlier it had named IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (claim 21024). Neither appears again in the disclosures on record. As the company moved toward cryptocurrency mining in 2018, there was no statement that the software product was discontinued or sold, or that the supplier relationship had ended.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-11Marathon's 2014 annual disclosures describe a sizable patent-monetization business. They list portfolios acquired from Mosaid, Delphi, Intergraph, Siemens, Zhone, TeleCommunication Systems, CyberFone and TT IP (claims 21016, 21023, 21020, 21031, 21035, 21019, 21017, 21021), licensing agreements with Zhone and Siemens (21022, 21018), and active enforcement litigation (21025). The last product-level mention in the record is the Opus Analytics SaaS tool on 2015-03-25 (21010). When the company next appears in the ledger in 2018, it is discussing cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459), and none of the claims on record say what became of the patent portfolios, the licenses or the pending litigation. The 2013 plan to explore disposing of the real estate business (21044) likewise has no recorded outcome.
The 10-K that was due on 2018-04-15 (16645) was first logged as stated, then auto-transitioned to delayed, and on 2026-10-09 moved to not_yet_verifiable. No claim on record confirms when the report was filed or explains the slip. It was disclosed alongside the appointment of an interim chief executive (16644).
The July 2018 Nasdaq deficiency notice set three dates: a compliance plan by 2018-08-24 (15466), two new independent directors by 2019-01-07 (15465, 15467), and a compliant compensation committee by 2019-06-28 (15468). All four claims were auto-marked delayed and are now not_yet_verifiable. The record does contain a 2018-08-21 statement that compliance was regained (15438), along with the appointments of Michael Berg as audit chair and Fred Thiel as compensation chair (15435, 15437). That suggests the director requirement was addressed, but the company never tied that statement back to the specific deadlines. The compensation-committee item in particular has no recorded confirmation of its own.
The Global Bit Ventures merger was reported terminated on 2018-06-28 (15477), together with board resignations (15476). On 2018-08-13 the company disclosed a break-up fee payable in 3,000,000 shares (15461). That claim has moved from stated to delayed to not_yet_verifiable and back to stated, the last change on 2026-10-10. The record does not show whether the shares were issued, on what date, or at what accounting value.
The same 2018-08-13 filing flagged uncertainty about whether the company had twelve months of cash, measured through 2019-08-13 (15462). That claim is now not_yet_verifiable. The visible record has no later statement saying the going-concern doubt was resolved, or what financing resolved it.
This review covers the portion of the ledger supplied, which ends partway through the October 2018 disclosures. Some of these items may be addressed in later claims that were not available. Separately, several 2013-2014 entries describe Africa-based operations, the Mara Foundation and UN Women and EY partnerships (20895-20903). These appear to describe a different 'Mara' entity and may be extraction errors rather than Marathon disclosures.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-11Marathon's intellectual-property business is the largest thing that has gone quiet in the record. From February 2013 through March 2014 the company described itself as an IP acquisition, development and monetization business (claim 21043). It built that business through a series of portfolio purchases, including Sampo IP (21042, 21015, 21028), Mosaid (21016, 21029), Siemens (21031), Zhone (21035), Intergraph (21020), TeleCommunication Systems (21019), Delphi (21023), CyberFone (21017) and TT IP (21021). It reported revenue commencement (21014), active enforcement litigation (21025) and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (21024). The last related item is the Opus Analytics SaaS offering on 2015-03-25 (21010). By August 2018 the disclosures concern cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459), and nothing in the ledger records what happened to the portfolios, the pending litigation, Opus Analytics or the IP Navigation relationship. No sale, write-down, abandonment or lapse of any patent is recorded.
On 2013-02-04, alongside the name change and the Sampo acquisition, management said it was exploring a disposition of its real estate business (21044). No later claim mentions real estate. The record contains no completed sale, no decision to keep the assets, and no statement that the exploration ended.
On 2018-08-13 the company flagged uncertainty about whether it had twelve months of cash runway, a horizon ending 2019-08-13 (15462). The ledger moved this claim to delayed on 2026-09-15 and then to not_yet_verifiable on 2026-10-09. No subsequent claim says whether the going-concern doubt was resolved, how the gap was funded, or whether the runway was ever restated. The large option grants recorded on 2018-10-15 (15386 through 15396) do not address it.
An April 2018 disclosure set 2018-04-15 as the deadline for the 10-K annual report (16645), at a time when the company had an interim chief executive (16644). The ledger cycled this claim from stated to delayed to not_yet_verifiable. No record confirms the filing date or explains the slip.
The July 2018 NASDAQ compliance items (15465, 15466, 15467, 15468) were all auto-transitioned to delayed and then not_yet_verifiable. These should be read with care. On 2018-08-21 the company reported that it had regained compliance (15438) and had appointed Michael Berg and Fred Thiel to the audit and compensation committee chairs (15435, 15437), which appears to satisfy at least the two-director and committee commitments. What has not been said is whether the compliance plan due 2018-08-24 was ever submitted or became moot, and the ledger has not been reconciled against the August announcement.
The April 2013 claims about operations in 26 countries, an African presence in 19 countries, the Mara Foundation and the Thakkar family leadership (20897 through 20903), along with the 2014 UN Women and EY partnerships (20895, 20896), seem to describe the unrelated Mara Group rather than Marathon. They are not treated here as walked-back commitments. The claim list supplied for this review also ends partway through the 2018-10-15 entries, so later disclosures that might address any of the above were not assessed.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-11The Opus Analytics software offering last appears in the record in the 2015-03-25 disclosure (claim 21010), where it was described as a SaaS tool built alongside the company's patent licensing business. No later disclosure on record mentions it again, whether as launched, discontinued, sold or folded into another product. The broader patent monetization strategy follows the same pattern. Between 2013 and 2014 management described it in detail, covering the Sampo IP acquisition (claims 21042, 21015), portfolios bought from Mosaid, CyberFone, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, TT IP and Delphi (claims 21016, 21017, 21020, 21019, 21021, 21023), and licensing agreements with Siemens and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022). By the 2018-08-13 filing the company was describing cryptocurrency mining expansion instead (claim 15459). The record contains no statement on what became of those portfolios, the licensing revenue they produced, or the IP Navigation Group supplier relationship (claim 21024). The 2013 plan to explore selling the legacy real estate business (claim 21044) was likewise never followed up.
In the 2018-04-01 disclosure, which also announced an interim chief executive (claim 16644), the company referenced its 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim 16645). That date passed without any confirming statement in the record. The ledger moved the claim from stated to delayed on 2026-09-20 and to not yet verifiable on 2026-10-09. No later disclosure on record says whether the annual report was filed on time, filed late, or preceded by an extension notice.
The Nasdaq governance commitments made on 2018-07-12 are only partly closed. They were a compliance plan due 2018-08-24 (claim 15466), two new independent directors and listing-rule compliance by 2019-01-07 (claims 15465, 15467), and a compensation committee fix by 2019-06-28 (claim 15468). On 2018-08-21 the company said it had regained compliance with a Nasdaq listing rule, appointed Michael Berg as audit committee chair, and named Fred Thiel compensation committee chair (claims 15438, 15435, 15437). That is the last mention of the matter. The record does not say which of the four commitments that announcement satisfied, whether a second new director was seated, or whether the compensation committee deadline was met. All four claims remain open in the ledger as not yet verifiable.
The 2018-08-13 filing flagged uncertainty about whether the company had twelve months of cash (claim 15462), a window that ran to 2019-08-13. The same filing described the terminated Global Bit Ventures merger and a break-up fee payable in 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461), following the June 2018 termination notice (claim 15477). The ledger has since returned the break-up fee claim to stated after briefly marking it delayed. Neither topic is revisited in later disclosures on record. Management has not said whether the cash shortfall was resolved through financing, cost cuts or the shift to mining, and has not confirmed whether the fee shares were actually issued or on what date.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-10The patent licensing business that defined the company's early disclosures has no recorded exit. In March 2014 management described a portfolio built through acquisitions from Sampo IP, Mosaid, CyberFone, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, TT IP, Delphi, Siemens and Zhone (claims 21015 through 21035), along with the start of patent revenue (21014) and active enforcement litigation (21025). The Opus Analytics SaaS product followed in March 2015 (21010). That is the last mention of either line. By August 2018 the disclosures concern cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459), and nothing on record explains whether the portfolios were sold, abandoned, written off or left to expire, or what became of the pending litigation and licensing relationships.
The real estate disposition announced on 2013-02-04 (claim 21044) was framed as something management was exploring. No later claim records a sale, a decision to keep the assets, or an end to the review. The same filing set out a 2-for-3 reverse split authorization (21046) and the strategic intent of a NASDAQ Capital Market listing (21037, May 2013). The 2018 compliance correspondence implies the listing happened, but no claim on record states when the split or the uplisting was completed.
The 10-K that management said would be filed by 2018-04-15 (claim 16645) moved automatically from stated to delayed and then to not_yet_verifiable on 2026-10-09. It was disclosed on 2018-04-01 alongside an interim chief executive appointment (16644). No later claim confirms the filing date, an extension, or a late-filing notice.
The July 2018 NASDAQ remediation commitments have only partly been resolved on the record. Claims 15465 through 15468 set deadlines of 2018-08-24 for a compliance plan, 2019-01-07 for two new independent directors and overall compliance, and 2019-06-28 for the compensation committee. All four were auto-transitioned to delayed and then not_yet_verifiable. On 2018-08-21 the company appointed Michael Berg and Fred Thiel (15435, 15437) and stated that compliance had been regained (15438). That appears to cover the board requirement. It does not say whether the separate compensation committee deadline was satisfied in the same step or on its own, and no later disclosure on record revisits it.
The going-concern caveat in the August 2018 filing (claim 15462) said there was uncertainty about having enough cash for twelve months, a horizon ending 2019-08-13. The claim is now not_yet_verifiable. It was made the same day as the Global Bit Ventures termination and its 3,000,000-share break-up fee (15461), and nothing on record says whether the doubt was lifted, by what financing, or when.
Two caveats about this review. The April 2013 and early 2014 claims about operations in 26 countries, the Thakkar family leadership, the Mara Foundation and the UN Women and EY partnerships (20895 through 20903) appear to describe Mara Group, an unrelated company, and were not treated as this company's commitments. The claims list supplied for this review also ends partway through the October 2018 entries, so any later disclosures that resolve the items above were not seen.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-10Between February 2013 and March 2015 the company described itself as a patent acquisition and monetization business. It disclosed portfolios bought from Delphi, Intergraph, Mosaid, CyberFone, TeleCommunication Systems, Siemens and Zhone (claims 21013, 21016, 21017, 21019, 21020, 21023, 21031, 21035), named IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (21024), and in March 2015 described an Opus Analytics SaaS offering (21010). An exploration of disposing of the legacy real estate business, raised in February 2013 (21044), has no follow-up on record. After the March 2015 mention of Opus Analytics, none of these items appears again. The next disclosures, in 2018, describe cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459). The record does not say what happened to the patent portfolios, whether the licensing and enforcement activity (21018, 21022, 21025) was wound down or sold, or whether Opus Analytics ever launched.
The disclosures dated 2018-04-01 set a 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim 16645) and refer to an Interim Chief Executive Officer (16644). The ledger first marked the deadline delayed and has carried it as not_yet_verifiable since 2026-10-09. Nothing on record confirms whether the filing was made on time, late or under an extension. Nothing describes the interim role being made permanent or filled by someone else, although an October 2018 compensation disclosure for Merrick Okamoto (15388, 15389) suggests a change in leadership.
In July 2018 the company set out a NASDAQ remediation timetable. It was to submit a compliance plan by 2018-08-24 (15466), meet the listing rule by 2019-01-07 (15467), appoint two independent directors by the same date (15465), and satisfy compensation committee requirements by 2019-06-28 (15468). All four are now not_yet_verifiable. Part of this appears to be answered by the company's own later statements. On 2018-08-21 it reported that compliance had been regained (15438) and that Michael Berg and Fred Thiel had joined in committee roles (15435, 15437). What has not been said is whether that announcement also covered the separate compensation committee deadline, and whether a formal compliance plan was ever submitted or became moot.
The August 2018 disclosures flagged uncertainty over whether the company had 12 months of cash runway, out to 2019-08-13 (claim 15462). The record contains no later statement saying whether that uncertainty was resolved, whether going-concern language was kept or dropped, or what financing closed the gap. The only nearby financing item is the reserve of 10 million shares under the 2018 equity plan (15460).
The Global Bit Ventures merger was reported terminated on 2018-06-28 (15477). In August it was described as carrying a break-up fee of 3 million shares (15461). The ledger moved that claim through delayed and not_yet_verifiable before returning it to stated on 2026-10-10. Nothing on record confirms that those shares were actually issued. The record also does not explain how the terminated deal relates to the mining expansion the company announced at the same time.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-10Marathon told the market on 2018-07-12 that it had fallen out of compliance with Nasdaq's board-independence rules. It set out four deadlines: a compliance plan by 2018-08-24 (claim 15466), two new independent directors (claim 15465) and restored listing-rule compliance (claim 15467) by 2019-01-07, and a properly constituted compensation committee by 2019-06-28 (claim 15468). The ledger moved all four to delayed and then to not_yet_verifiable. The record suggests this was a resolution the company never formally closed, not a slip. On 2018-08-21 Marathon said compliance had been regained (claim 15438) and named Michael Berg as audit committee chair (claim 15435) and Fred Thiel as compensation committee chair (claim 15437). What has not been said is whether the compensation committee met the separate June 2019 standard, and no later disclosure ties any of these deadlines to a closing statement.
The cash-runway warning of 2018-08-13 (claim 15462) said there was substantial doubt about funding operations over the next twelve months, a window that ran to 2019-08-13. The claim has since moved to delayed and then not_yet_verifiable. Nothing in the record says whether that doubt was removed, carried into the next annual report, or addressed through specific financing.
The 10-K filing date of 2018-04-15 (claim 16645) appeared in a disclosure that also named an interim chief executive (claim 16644). It has gone through the same delayed and not_yet_verifiable sequence. The record contains no confirmation that the report was filed on time and no late-filing notice. The interim leadership arrangement is not explained either, beyond stock option grants to Merrick Okamoto as CEO six months later (claims 15385 and 15389).
The Global Bit Ventures merger was reported terminated on 2018-06-28 (claim 15477), alongside director resignations (claim 15476). In August the company described a break-up fee to be paid in 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). The status of that claim has moved four times, ending at stated on 2026-10-10. No disclosure confirms that the shares were issued, how they were valued, or whether the directors' departures were connected to the deal's collapse.
The patent-monetization business is the clearest case of a business left behind without explanation. In 2014 the company listed licensing agreements with Zhone and Siemens Technology (claims 21022 and 21018), a supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim 21024), and portfolios acquired from Mosaid, Delphi, Intergraph and others. In 2015 it introduced an Opus Analytics SaaS product (claim 21010). None of these appear again in the record, and the August 2018 disclosures speak only of cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459), with no figures attached. The company has not said what happened to the licensing agreements, the patent portfolios, or the analytics product. Separately, claims 20895 through 20903 describe the Mara Foundation and the Thakkar family's African holdings, which appear to belong to an unrelated company and are left out of this analysis. The record supplied ends partway through October 2018, so later disclosures may answer some of these questions.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-10Marathon's July 2018 Nasdaq remediation plan carried four dated commitments: a compliance plan due 2018-08-24 (claim 15466), restored listing-rule compliance by 2019-01-07 (claim 15467), two new independent directors by the same date (claim 15465), and a compliant compensation committee by 2019-06-28 (claim 15468). All four were last addressed on 2018-07-12. The ledger moved them to delayed on 2026-09-15 and then to not_yet_verifiable on 2026-10-09. Weeks later, on 2018-08-21, the company announced Michael Berg and Fred Thiel as directors and said it had regained compliance (claims 15435, 15437, 15438). That likely satisfies the director and listing items. Nothing on record speaks to the compensation-committee deadline specifically, and the company never published a statement closing out the plan as a whole.
The 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim 16645) appeared in an April 2018 disclosure that also named an interim chief executive (claim 16644). The record holds no confirmation that the report was filed on time or late, and no explanation either way. The claim was auto-marked delayed on 2026-09-20 and has been not_yet_verifiable since 2026-10-09.
In August 2018 the company flagged uncertainty about whether it had twelve months of cash, a window running to 2019-08-13 (claim 15462). That was the last time the record mentions it. It has since cycled from delayed to not_yet_verifiable. No later disclosure says the doubt was resolved, what funding resolved it, or whether the going-concern language was carried forward.
The Global Bit Ventures merger was disclosed as terminated on 2018-06-28 (claim 15477). The August 2018 filing then described a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). That claim's status has moved four times: stated, delayed, not_yet_verifiable, and back to stated on 2026-10-10. The record does not show whether the shares were ever issued, when, or at what dilution to holders.
The patent-monetization business that defined the company from 2013 to 2015 has dropped out of the disclosures. That business covered the Sampo, Mosaid, Siemens, Zhone, Delphi, Intergraph, CyberFone and TeleCommunication Systems portfolios (claims 21015 through 21035), the licensing agreements with Zhone and Siemens (claims 21018, 21022), the IP Navigation Group supplier relationship (claim 21024), and the Opus Analytics SaaS product last mentioned on 2015-03-25 (claim 21010). The exploration of a real-estate disposition announced in February 2013 (claim 21044) has likewise never been followed up. By August 2018 the stated direction was cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459). The record contains no statement on whether those portfolios were sold, abandoned, written down or still held, and none on what became of the licensing relationships. The claims provided here end in October 2018, so later filings may address some of these points.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-10The 2018 annual report is the plainest unexplained gap. In a 2018-04-01 disclosure, which also named an interim chief executive (claim 16644), management committed to filing its 10-K by 2018-04-15 (claim 16645). The ledger moved that commitment to delayed on 2026-09-20 and then to not_yet_verifiable on 2026-10-09. No later disclosure on record says when the report was actually filed, whether an extension was taken, or why the original date could not be met.
The company's 2018 runway warning has also gone quiet. On 2018-08-13 management stated that its ability to fund operations over the following twelve months, through 2019-08-13, was uncertain (claim 15462). The claim has since moved from stated to delayed and then to not_yet_verifiable. Nothing on record says whether that uncertainty was resolved, through what financing, or whether the going-concern language was later withdrawn. In the same filing the company announced an expansion of cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459) without stating any capacity, hash-rate or timing target, so the expansion cannot be measured against a promise.
The Nasdaq board-composition matter looks mostly resolved, but the record does not show it being closed out. On 2018-07-12 the company set four deadlines: a compliance plan by 2018-08-24 (claim 15466), two new independent directors and restored listing-rule compliance by 2019-01-07 (claims 15465 and 15467), and a compliant compensation committee by 2019-06-28 (claim 15468). Within six weeks, on 2018-08-21, it reported that Michael Berg had joined the board as audit chair (claim 15435), that Fred Thiel would chair the compensation committee (claim 15437), and that compliance had been regained (claim 15438). All four original deadlines nonetheless sit at not_yet_verifiable after passing through delayed. No disclosure on record says whether the compliance plan was ever submitted or whether the August announcement satisfied the compensation-committee requirement as well as the board-majority rule.
The patent-monetization business that defined the company from 2013 to 2015 simply stops appearing. The record documents the Sampo IP acquisition (claims 21042 and 21015), portfolio purchases from CyberFone, Delphi, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph and Mosaid (claims 21016 through 21023), licensing arrangements with Siemens and Zhone (claims 21018 and 21022), active enforcement litigation (claim 21025), and an Opus Analytics software-as-a-service product announced 2015-03-25 (claim 21010). After that date nothing on record addresses what happened to these portfolios, the pending litigation or Opus Analytics. The next disclosures, in 2018, describe a cryptocurrency miner.
Two earlier corporate intentions were also never followed up. In February 2013 the company said it was exploring the disposition of its real estate business (claim 21044). In May 2013 it stated an intent to list on the Nasdaq Capital Market (claim 21037). Both remain at stated, with no later disclosure on record confirming the sale was completed or recording when the listing took effect. The intervening 2-for-3 reverse split authorization (claim 21046) is likewise not tied to any reported execution date.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-10The 2017 annual report is the clearest open item. Claim 16645, recorded on 2018-04-01 alongside the appointment of an interim chief executive (claim 16644), set a 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15. The ledger moved this claim from stated to delayed and, on 2026-10-09, to not_yet_verifiable. Nothing in the record confirms that the report was filed by that date, that a late-filing notice was submitted, or what caused the leadership change that was announced at the same time.
The going-concern question raised in August 2018 was never closed. Claim 15462, dated 2018-08-13, flagged uncertainty about whether the company had 12 months of cash runway, a window that ran to 2019-08-13. The claim has since been auto-transitioned through delayed to not_yet_verifiable. The record contains no later statement that the doubt was resolved, no financing that was described as curing it, and no update on the runway once that date had passed. The only nearby financing disclosure is the 10 million share reserve under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (claim 15460), which is a compensation pool and not a funding event.
The patent licensing business was the company's stated core from 2013 through 2015, and it disappears from the record without a stated end. That period includes the IP monetization model (claim 21043), the portfolio built from the CyberFone, Delphi, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, Mosaid, Siemens and Zhone acquisitions (claims 21016 through 21035), the commencement of patent revenue (claim 21014), and active enforcement litigation (claim 21025). The last mention is 2014-03-30. By August 2018 the disclosures describe cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459). The record does not say whether those portfolios were sold, written off, allowed to lapse or kept, and it does not say how the pending litigation was resolved.
Two smaller initiatives were announced once and then dropped from the record. The Opus Analytics SaaS offering (claim 21010, 2015-03-25) has no later disclosure of launch, revenue or discontinuation. The exploration of selling the real estate business (claim 21044, 2013-02-04) was announced together with the change of name to Marathon Patent Group, and the record never says whether a sale took place or what happened to those assets.
Two things in this ledger are not walk-backs, and readers should not take them as such. The NASDAQ deficiency items from July 2018 (claims 15465 through 15468) appear as not_yet_verifiable, but the record shows they were addressed within weeks. Directors were appointed (claims 15435 and 15437) and compliance was regained (claim 15438, 2018-08-21). Their current status reflects a gap in how the ledger links claims, not silence from management. Separately, claims 20895 through 20903, which cover Ashish Thakkar, operations in African countries and the Mara Foundation, describe the unrelated Mara Group and appear to have been attached to this company by mistake. The ledger supplied for this review ends in October 2018, so silences after that point are outside this assessment.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-10The patent-monetization business that defined the company from 2013 through 2015 has no recorded ending. In early 2014 management described a string of portfolio acquisitions from Siemens, Zhone, Mosaid, Delphi, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, CyberFone and TT IP (claims 21015 through 21035), along with licensing agreements with Siemens and Zhone (21018, 21022) and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (21024). The last product claim in that line is the Opus Analytics SaaS tool offering on 2015-03-25 (21010). All of these remain marked stated, but none appears again in later disclosures on record. By 2018-08-13 the company was describing cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459). The record does not say whether the portfolios were sold, written down, abandoned or still held, what became of the Siemens and Zhone licenses, or whether Opus Analytics ever launched. The 2013 plan to explore disposing of the real estate business (21044) also has no follow-up claim.
The 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (16645) was stated on 2018-04-01, alongside the naming of an interim Chief Executive Officer (16644). The ledger moved the claim from stated to delayed on 2026-09-20, and on 2026-10-09 it was reclassified as not_yet_verifiable. No claim on record confirms when, or whether, the annual report was filed. The interim CEO arrangement is not resolved in the disclosures either. By 2018-10-15 Merrick Okamoto is described as CEO and Chairman (15384), but nothing on record explains how the interim role ended or why.
The Global Bit Ventures merger is recorded only at its termination, on 2018-06-28 (15477). On 2018-08-13 a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares was added (15461), and the same filing period records director resignations (15476). The ledger status of 15461 cycled through delayed and not_yet_verifiable before returning to stated on 2026-10-10. Management has given no stated reason for the termination. The record also does not confirm that the break-up shares were actually issued, or whether the board departures were connected to the deal.
The 12-month cash runway uncertainty disclosed on 2018-08-13 (15462) ran to 2019-08-13. It is now marked not_yet_verifiable, and no later claim says whether the concern was resolved, by what financing, or whether it was ever formally withdrawn.
The NASDAQ compliance cluster of 2018-07-12 is the reverse case. The compliance plan deadline (15466), the listing-rule deadline (15467), the two new independent directors (15465) and the compensation committee deadline (15468) all sit at not_yet_verifiable. Yet the company's own disclosures of 2018-08-21 state that compliance was regained (15438), that Michael Berg was appointed to the board and as Audit Committee Chairman (15435), and that Fred Thiel was named Compensation Committee Chairman (15437). Here the gap lies in the ledger's linkage rather than in management's disclosure. These deadlines appear to have been met ahead of schedule.
Two notes on the record itself. Claims 20895 through 20903, dated 2013-04-04 and 2014, describe the founders, African operations and foundation of Mara Group, which appears to be a different entity, and they were set aside here. The claim list supplied for this review also ends partway through the 2018-10-15 entries, so later disclosures may answer some of the questions above.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-09The patent licensing business that defined the company from 2013 onward has no recorded end. The February 2013 disclosures announced an IP acquisition, development and monetization business (claim 21043). By March 2014 the company had described a sizable portfolio (claims 21013, 21016, 21017, 21019, 21020, 21023), licensing agreements with Siemens and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022), a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim 21024), and active enforcement litigation (claim 21025). The March 2015 filing added an Opus Analytics SaaS offering (claim 21010). After that, none of these appear again. The next substantive disclosures, in 2018, describe a cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459). The record contains no statement that the portfolios were sold, abandoned or written down, that the litigation was resolved, that the IP Navigation relationship ended, or that Opus Analytics was discontinued.
In February 2013 management said it was exploring a disposition of its real estate business (claim 21044). That is the only mention. No later disclosure says whether a sale happened, on what terms, or whether the idea was dropped. The claim remains at stated, with nothing after it.
The August 2018 filing described the Global Bit Ventures merger termination as carrying a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). The termination itself had been reported in June 2018 (claim 15477), alongside director resignations (claim 15476). The fee has since been auto-transitioned from stated to delayed to not_yet_verifiable. No subsequent disclosure confirms that the shares were issued, renegotiated or waived.
In August 2018 the company flagged uncertainty over whether it had a 12-month cash runway, with the horizon running to August 2019 (claim 15462). That horizon has passed, and the claim has drifted to not_yet_verifiable. The record holds no follow-up showing whether financing was raised or the going-concern language was lifted. Separately, a 10-K deadline of 15 April 2018 (claim 16645), disclosed while an interim chief executive was in place (claim 16644), has followed the same path with no confirmation of timely filing.
By contrast, the July 2018 Nasdaq compliance deadlines (claims 15465, 15466, 15467, 15468) are also marked not_yet_verifiable, but they appear to have been addressed. In August 2018 the company reported regaining compliance with Nasdaq listing rules (claim 15438) and appointed Michael Berg and Fred Thiel to board committee roles (claims 15435, 15437). Their status reflects a gap in linkage rather than silence. Claims 20895 through 20903, covering Mara Foundation, the Thakkar family and African operations, appear to concern an unrelated entity and are not considered here.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-09The patent-licensing business that defined the company in its first filings is the largest thread that simply stops. In February 2013 management described an IP acquisition, development and monetization business (claim 21043). By the March 2014 annual disclosure it had listed a run of portfolio purchases, including Sampo, Mosaid, CyberFone, TT IP, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Siemens, Zhone and Delphi (claims 21015 through 21035). It also cited licensing agreements with Siemens and Zhone (21018, 21022), a supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (21024) and the start of patent revenue (21014). The last product-level mention on record is the Opus Analytics SaaS tool in March 2015 (21010). By August 2018 the record speaks only of cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459). Every patent-era claim still sits at stated, with no transition after extraction. Nothing in the record explains what happened to those portfolios, whether they were sold, abandoned or written down, or whether the licensing agreements were wound down.
The Global Bit Ventures merger ended in a terminated deal (15477, June 2018). The August 2018 filing tied that termination to a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares, dated to 28 June 2018 (15461). The claim was auto-flagged delayed and now reads not_yet_verifiable. No later disclosure in the record confirms that the shares were issued, records their value, or says the obligation was settled or renegotiated.
A group of NASDAQ governance commitments from July 2018 has no explicit closure. These include a compliance plan due 24 August 2018 (15466), two new independent directors and listing-rule compliance by 7 January 2019 (15465, 15467), and compensation-committee compliance by 28 June 2019 (15468). All four moved from delayed to not_yet_verifiable. The August 2018 appointments of Michael Berg and Fred Thiel (15435, 15437), and a statement that compliance was regained (15438), suggest some of this was resolved. However, management never linked those announcements to the specific deadlines. Nothing on record addresses the compensation-committee requirement or confirms that the second-director commitment was met as framed.
Two earlier items also have no follow-up. The 10-K that management said would be filed by 15 April 2018, during an interim-CEO period (16645, 16644), was auto-marked delayed and is now not_yet_verifiable. No later statement gives the actual filing date or a reason for any lateness. The August 2018 caveat about whether cash would last twelve months, to August 2019 (15462), likewise has no update saying whether the going-concern uncertainty was lifted or how it was funded.
A note on scope: the April 2013 claims about operations in 26 countries, an African presence and the Mara Foundation (20897 through 20903) appear to describe the unrelated Mara Group and were not treated as company commitments. The ledger as supplied ends in October 2018, so later disclosures may address some of these items.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-09The Nasdaq compliance remediation from July 2018 is the clearest unresolved thread. Claims 15465, 15466, 15467 and 15468 set out a compliance plan due 24 August 2018, two new independent directors and listing-rule compliance by 7 January 2019, and a compensation committee fix by 28 June 2019. All four were automatically marked delayed and now sit at not_yet_verifiable. The record partly answers them. On 21 August 2018 the company said compliance had been regained (claim 15438) and named Michael Berg and Fred Thiel to board committee roles (claims 15435, 15437). However, no disclosure on file ties those appointments to the specific deadlines. Nothing on file confirms that the June 2019 compensation committee requirement was met, and the company has not said whether the January and June 2019 dates were satisfied, superseded or simply no longer relevant.
The termination of the Global Bit Ventures merger was disclosed on 28 June 2018 (claim 15477). It was described again on 13 August 2018 as carrying a break-up fee payable in 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). That item has since moved from delayed to not_yet_verifiable. The last mention is the August 2018 filing. Later disclosures on record do not say whether the shares were issued, whether the terms changed, or how the fee was accounted for.
In the same 13 August 2018 filing, management flagged uncertainty about whether it had twelve months of cash (claim 15462). That implies a test date around August 2019. The claim is now not_yet_verifiable. No later statement on record says whether the going-concern doubt was resolved, what funding addressed it, or whether the warning was carried forward. The same filing announced an expansion of cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). The final disclosures on file, from October 2018, cover executive pay and option grants (claims 15384 through 15396) and give no capacity, machine count or timeline for that expansion.
The patent business that defined the company from 2013 to 2015 has dropped out of the record without a stated ending. Management described an IP acquisition and monetization model (claim 21043), a run of portfolio purchases and licensing agreements in March 2014 (claims 21013 through 21035), and an Opus Analytics SaaS product in March 2015 (claim 21010). The real-estate disposition announced as under exploration in February 2013 (claim 21044) and the stated aim of a Nasdaq Capital Market listing (claim 21037) have also gone without follow-up. No disclosure on file says whether the patent portfolios were sold, written down or abandoned, what became of Opus Analytics, or when the real-estate exploration ended. The 10-K deadline of 15 April 2018 (claim 16645), filed under an interim chief executive (claim 16644), is likewise unconfirmed and now stands at not_yet_verifiable.
A note on the record itself. Claims 20895 through 20903, covering the Mara Foundation, the Thakkar family directors and operations in 26 countries, appear to describe Mara Group, an unrelated African conglomerate. They do not appear to describe Marathon Digital, and they should not be read as commitments this company has dropped.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-09The termination of the proposed merger with Global Bit Ventures was disclosed on 2018-06-28 (claim 15477), and the August 2018 filing described a break-up fee payable in 3,000,000 shares tied to that termination date (claim 15461). That was the last mention on record. The ledger moved the item to delayed and then to not_yet_verifiable, and no later disclosure confirms that the shares were issued, says what they were valued at, or explains whether the terms were renegotiated. The fee has simply dropped out of the narrative.
In August 2018 management also flagged uncertainty about whether the company had cash for the next twelve months (claim 15462), which put a horizon of 2019-08-13 on the question. Nothing on record returns to it. There is no statement that the uncertainty was resolved, no description of the financing that closed the gap, and no updated runway figure. Meanwhile the narrative moved on to expanding cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459) and a 10,000,000-share equity incentive reserve (claim 15460).
The July 2018 Nasdaq deficiency set several deadlines: a compliance plan by 2018-08-24 (claim 15466), two new independent directors and restored listing compliance by 2019-01-07 (claims 15465 and 15467), and a compensation committee fix by 2019-06-28 (claim 15468). All four now sit at not_yet_verifiable. The 2018-08-21 disclosure appointed Michael Berg and named Fred Thiel compensation committee chairman (claims 15435 and 15437), and it said compliance had been regained (claim 15438). That appears to answer most of these deadlines. However, the record never explicitly closes the separate compensation committee deadline, and it never says whether a compliance plan was ever submitted or became unnecessary.
An April 2018 disclosure named an interim chief executive (claim 16644) and referred to a 10-K due by 2018-04-15 (claim 16645). That date was the last time the deadline was mentioned. The record contains no confirmation that the report was filed on time and no notice of a late filing or extension. The item has been auto-transitioned to not_yet_verifiable.
The earlier business lines faded without a formal close-out. A 2013 filing said management was exploring a sale of the real estate business (claim 21044), and no outcome was ever reported. The patent licensing model built on the Sampo, Siemens, Zhone, Delphi, Intergraph and other portfolios (claims 21013 through 21035) was last described in March 2014. The Opus Analytics SaaS offering was last mentioned on 2015-03-25 (claim 21010). After that, disclosures turn to crypto mining, and nothing on record explains what happened to the patent portfolios, the licensing agreements, or the Opus product. The ledger reviewed here was cut off partway through the October 2018 entries, so later filings may address some of these points, but none of the material provided does.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-09The patent-monetization business that defined the company's earlier disclosures has no recorded wind-down. In February 2013 management described an IP acquisition, development and monetization business (claim 21043). By March 2014 it had listed portfolio acquisitions from Mosaid, CyberFone, Delphi, Zhone, TT IP, Intergraph, Siemens and TeleCommunication Systems (claims 21016, 21017, 21036, 21035, 21034, 21033, 21031, 21032). The same filings described licensing agreements with Zhone and Siemens (claims 21022, 21018), the start of patent revenue (claim 21014) and active enforcement litigation (claim 21025). By August 2018 the disclosed focus is cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459). Nothing in the ledger explains how those portfolios, licenses and pending cases were resolved, sold or abandoned. The last patent-era claim is dated March 2015, and every item remains at 'stated' with no follow-up.
Two earlier initiatives were raised once and not mentioned again. The February 2013 disclosure said management was exploring a disposition of the real estate business (claim 21044). The March 2015 disclosure introduced an Opus Analytics SaaS tool (claim 21010). Neither appears in any later claim. Both remain 'stated', with no record of completion, sale or discontinuation.
The August 2018 cash-runway warning has no resolution on record. Management then disclosed uncertainty about funding operations over the next twelve months, implicitly through August 2019 (claim 15462). The ledger moved this item to 'delayed' automatically on 2026-09-15 once that horizon passed. No later claim says whether the going-concern question was resolved, renewed or financed away.
The 10-K deadline of 2018-04-15 has no recorded outcome. That deadline was set in an April 2018 disclosure that coincided with an interim CEO appointment (claims 16645, 16648). The item was auto-transitioned to 'delayed', and no subsequent claim gives the actual filing date or explains the slippage.
The Global Bit Ventures termination is incomplete on record. The merger was disclosed as terminated on 2018-06-28, alongside director resignations (claims 15477, 15476). The August 2018 filing attached a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claim 15461). No later disclosure confirms that the shares were issued, renegotiated or disputed, and the item has carried an automatic 'delayed' status since 2026-09-15.
The July 2018 NASDAQ compliance deadlines are excluded despite their 'delayed' flags (claims 15465, 15466, 15467, 15468). Disclosures dated 2018-08-21 record three new directors and a statement that compliance was regained (claims 15435, 15436, 15437, 15438). Those flags therefore appear to be a mechanical artifact rather than a walk-back. The April 2013 claims about operations in 26 countries and an African foundation (claims 20897–20903) are also left aside, because they appear to describe a different entity. This review covers the ledger only through mid-October 2018.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-08The patent-monetization business is the largest thing that went quiet. The 2014-03-30 disclosures describe it in detail: acquired portfolios from Siemens, Delphi, Mosaid, CyberFone, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, TT IP, Zhone and Sampo (claims 21013, 21015 through 21023, 21028 through 21036), plus licensing agreements with Siemens and Zhone (21018, 21022), active enforcement litigation (21025), and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (21024). The last related mention in the record is the Opus Analytics SaaS offering on 2015-03-25 (21010). By 2018-08-13 the company describes itself as expanding cryptocurrency mining (15459). Every one of these patent claims still sits at 'stated', and the record contains nothing on whether the portfolios were sold, licensed out, abandoned or written off, what came of the litigation, or what happened to the licensing revenue.
Two smaller strategic statements from 2013-02-04 were never closed out. The company said it was exploring disposition of its real estate business (21044), and the record has no later statement that a sale happened or was dropped. Opus Analytics (21010) appears once, in 2015, with no launch figures, customers or discontinuation notice after that.
The Global Bit Ventures termination left a payment question open. The merger was reported terminated on 2018-06-28 (15477), and on 2018-08-13 the company described a break-up fee payable in 3,000,000 shares (15461). The ledger auto-transitioned that claim to 'delayed' on 2026-09-15. The record does not say whether the shares were issued, renegotiated or waived, and there is no follow-up disclosure on the fee.
The cash-runway warning was never resolved. On 2018-08-13 the company disclosed uncertainty about having 12 months of cash (15462), a horizon ending 2019-08-13. The claim was auto-moved to 'delayed' on 2026-09-15, and the available record contains no statement that the going-concern doubt was lifted or how the gap was funded.
The 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (16645) is flagged 'delayed', and the ledger shows the transitions to 'delayed' and 'stated' on the same day (2026-09-20). The record holds no confirmation of when the annual report was actually filed. By contrast, the NASDAQ compliance items that are also marked 'delayed' (15465 through 15468) do appear to have been addressed. Three directors were appointed and a compensation committee chair named on 2018-08-21 (15435 through 15437), and the company reported regaining compliance the same day (15438). Those look like ledger artifacts rather than walk-backs.
Two caveats apply to this record. The claims from 2013-04-04 and early 2014 (20895 through 20903), covering the Mara Foundation, Thakkar family leadership and the UN Women and EY partnerships, appear to describe an unrelated African conglomerate and were not treated as this company's disclosures. The claim list provided was also cut off after claim 15395, so later disclosures may address some of the gaps described here.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-08Marathon's original business was intellectual property. Between February 2013 and March 2014 it described buying Sampo IP (claims 21042, 21028, 21015), building an IP acquisition, development and monetization business (21043), and assembling portfolios from Mosaid, CyberFone, Siemens, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, TT IP, Zhone and Delphi (21016 through 21036). It reported licensing agreements with Siemens and Zhone (21018, 21022) and the start of patent revenue (21014). The last disclosure in this group is dated 2014-03-30. By August 2018 the record describes cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459). No disclosure on file says what happened to the patent portfolios, the licensing agreements, or the litigation program described in claim 21025. All of these claims remain marked 'stated' and have no follow-up.
Opus Analytics was presented on 2015-03-25 as a SaaS tool offering (21010). It is the only product of its kind in the record, and it does not appear in any later disclosure. Its status is still 'stated'. There is no statement that it launched, was discontinued, or was sold.
On 2013-02-04 the company said it was exploring a disposition of its real estate business (21044). The record contains no later disclosure that reports a sale, a wind-down, or an end to the exploration. The claim remains 'stated' with nothing on file to close it.
The disclosure of 2018-04-01 set a 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (16645), and the ledger moved that claim automatically to 'delayed'. The 2018-08-13 filings raised uncertainty about whether the company had 12 months of cash runway, a window running to 2019-08-13 (15462), and that claim has also passed automatically to 'delayed'. The record contains no statement giving the actual filing date of the 10-K or saying whether the funding concern was resolved. The record does show that the NASDAQ board and committee requirements were met: directors were appointed on 2018-08-21 (15435, 15436, 15437) and compliance was reported as regained (15438). The 'delayed' status on claims 15465, 15467 and 15468 therefore appears to reflect the deadline rule rather than any lapse by the company.
The Global Bit Ventures merger was reported terminated on 2018-06-28 (15477). On 2018-08-13 the company tied that termination to a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (15461), and the claim now shows as 'delayed'. No disclosure on file confirms that the shares were issued, says when, or explains whether the terms were renegotiated.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-07The 2018 annual report is the earliest slipped date on record. Claim 16645, disclosed 2018-04-01 alongside the appointment of Merrick D. Okamoto as interim chief executive (claims 16644, 16648), set a 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15. The ledger now carries it as delayed. That status was assigned automatically on 2026-09-20, and the same day also shows a transition to stated. None of the claims reviewed says when the report was actually filed, why the deadline was missed, or whether the leadership change was connected.
The Global Bit Ventures merger ended without its settlement being accounted for. Claim 15477 records the termination on 2018-06-28. Claim 15461, disclosed 2018-08-13, attached a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares to that termination, due as of 2018-06-28, and the item has since moved to delayed. No later disclosure on record confirms that the shares were issued, says on what terms, or explains the delay. Nor has management said what the termination meant for the cryptocurrency mining expansion announced the same day (claim 15459).
The going-concern language of August 2018 has not been revisited. Claim 15462 flagged uncertainty about a 12-month cash runway, which implies a horizon of 2019-08-13. The ledger now marks that horizon as delayed. No subsequent claim on record states whether the runway was extended, by what financing, or whether the uncertainty was formally withdrawn. The only adjacent financing item is the 10,000,000-share equity incentive reserve in claim 15460, which does not address liquidity.
The Nasdaq compliance items need a narrower reading than their status suggests. Claims 15465, 15466, 15467 and 15468, all from 2018-07-12, carry automatically assigned delayed statuses with deadlines running from 2018-08-24 to 2019-06-28. However, claim 15438 states on 2018-08-21 that compliance with the listing rule was regained. That claim coincided with three board appointments (claims 15435, 15436, 15437), including a compensation committee chair. The delayed labels therefore appear to reflect elapsed dates rather than missed obligations. Still, no claim on record explicitly closes out the compliance plan submission (15466) or the separate compensation committee deadline (15468).
The patent business has fallen out of the record entirely. Between 2013 and 2015 the company described itself as an IP acquisition, development and monetization business (claim 21043). It recorded portfolio purchases from Siemens, Delphi, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Zhone, CyberFone, Mosaid and TT IP (claims 21016 through 21036) and launched an Opus Analytics SaaS tool (claim 21010, 2015-03-25). By the 2018 disclosures the stated direction is cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). No claim on record describes the sale, abandonment or write-down of the portfolios, the fate of Opus Analytics, or the outcome of the earlier exploration of a real estate disposition (claim 21044).
What we haven't been told
2026-10-07The annual report for fiscal 2017 is the clearest lapse in the record. On 2018-04-01, alongside the appointment of Merrick D. Okamoto as interim chief executive (claims 16644, 16648), the company pointed to an April 15, 2018 filing deadline for its 10-K (claim 16645). The ledger later moved that claim to delayed automatically. No company statement was involved. Nothing in the disclosures that follow confirms when the report was actually filed, and no filing appears in the record. The leadership change and the missed date were never explicitly connected.
The Global Bit Ventures merger ended on 2018-06-28 (claim 15477), along with director resignations (claim 15476). In the 2018-08-13 disclosure, the termination is described as involving a break-up fee payable in 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). That claim is now marked delayed. No later disclosure in the record says whether those shares were issued, renegotiated or forgone. The deal itself was acknowledged as dead, but the cost of ending it has not been accounted for.
The same 2018-08-13 filing raised doubt about whether the company had cash for the following twelve months (claim 15462). That window closed on 2019-08-13, and the claim has moved to delayed. In the same filing, management described an expansion into cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). There is no follow-up statement on whether the going-concern doubt was resolved, renewed or financed away. The record goes from expressed uncertainty to silence.
The company's earlier identity has faded without a closing statement. The 2014 disclosures describe an intellectual-property business in detail: a string of patent portfolio acquisitions (claims 21016 through 21036), enforcement litigation (claim 21025), and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim 21024). A product, Opus Analytics, was introduced as a SaaS tool on 2015-03-25 (claim 21010). After that date, neither the patent licensing operation nor Opus Analytics appears again in the visible record. When the 2018 filings arrive, the business is cryptocurrency mining. No disclosure here explains whether the portfolios were sold, abandoned or written down, or what became of the analytics product. Similarly, the plan to explore selling the legacy real estate business, stated on 2013-02-04 (claim 21044), is never mentioned again in any form.
One caution about the ledger. The July 2018 Nasdaq compliance items (claims 15465 through 15468) are marked delayed, but the 2018-08-21 disclosure reports that compliance was regained and three directors were appointed (claims 15435 through 15438). These appear to be resolved rather than walked back. Separately, the 2013-04-04 entries about the Mara Foundation and the Thakkar family (claims 20897 through 20903) seem to describe an unrelated entity, Mara Group, and should not be read as Marathon commitments. The claim list supplied here ends in October 2018, so later disclosures may address some of these gaps.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-07The largest silence on record concerns the patent business itself. In its 2014-03-30 disclosures the company described a portfolio built from at least nine acquisitions, including Sampo, Mosaid, CyberFone, Siemens, Delphi, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, TT IP and Zhone (claims 21015 through 21036). It also described licensing agreements with Siemens and Zhone (21018, 21022), active enforcement litigation (21025) and revenue generation from patents (21014). By 2018-08-13 the disclosed strategy had become cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459). None of the claims on record explain what became of these portfolios, the licensing arrangements or the pending litigation. There is no record of a sale, an abandonment, an impairment or an expiry.
The Opus Analytics SaaS tool appears once, on 2015-03-25 (21010), as a product offering. It does not appear again in any subsequent disclosure on record, and it remains in 'stated' status. The company has said nothing about whether the product launched, generated revenue or was discontinued. Similarly, the 2013-02-04 statement that management was exploring a disposition of its real estate business (21044) has no follow-up on record. No completed sale has been disclosed, and the exploration has not been formally ended.
The 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (16645), disclosed on 2018-04-01 during the interim-CEO transition (16644, 16648), was auto-transitioned to 'delayed' once the date passed. The ledger also contains a same-day 'stated' entry, so its status is internally inconsistent. No later claim records when the annual report was actually filed or why the deadline required a notice.
Two items from the 2018-08-13 disclosures remain open. The Global Bit Ventures merger termination carried a break-up fee payable in 3,000,000 shares (15461). The termination itself is recorded on 2018-06-28 (15477), but nothing on record confirms that the shares were issued or the fee settled. The same filing flagged uncertainty about a 12-month cash runway ending 2019-08-13 (15462), and that claim has since moved to 'delayed'. No subsequent statement on record says whether the going-concern doubt was resolved, nor by what financing.
Several other items are marked 'delayed' but should not be read as walk-backs. These are the July 2018 Nasdaq deadlines for board independence, the compliance plan and the compensation committee (15465 through 15468). Later claims show three independent directors appointed and compliance regained on 2018-08-21 (15435 through 15438). The record supplied for this company is truncated after 2018-10-15, so items disclosed later could not be assessed. The 2013-04-04 claims referencing the Mara Foundation, African operations and the Thakkar family (20897 through 20903) appear to describe an unrelated entity, Mara Group, and are excluded here.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-06The real estate exit is the oldest loose thread. On 2013-02-04, alongside the Sampo IP acquisition and the renaming to Marathon Patent Group, management said it was exploring a disposition of its real estate business (claim 21044). That filing is the last mention of the real estate business in the record. No later disclosure says whether the assets were sold, written down or simply absorbed, and the claim remains at 'stated' with no closing statement attached.
Opus Analytics appears once. The 2015-03-25 disclosure presented it as a SaaS tool offering (claim 21010), the only product claim in the patent-era record that was not about licensing or enforcement. Nothing later on record mentions it again: no revenue attribution, no customer count, no notice of discontinuation. When the company shifted to cryptocurrency mining in 2018 (claim 15459), there was no account of what became of the software line or the IP Navigation Group supplier relationship it had once called key (claim 21024, 2014-03-30).
The Global Bit Ventures break-up fee lacks a final accounting. The record shows the merger terminated on 2018-06-28 (claim 15477), and the 2018-08-13 filing described a 3,000,000-share break-up fee tied to that termination (claim 15461). The ledger has auto-transitioned that claim to 'delayed' against its 2018-06-28 date. The record contains no later statement that the shares were issued, renegotiated or waived, even though a fee of that size would affect share count.
The going-concern language was never closed out. On 2018-08-13 management disclosed uncertainty about whether it had cash to fund twelve months of operations (claim 15462). The horizon passed on 2019-08-13, and the ledger moved the claim to 'delayed'. Nothing on record says whether the doubt was resolved, what financing resolved it, or whether the language was simply dropped from later filings. The same pattern applies to the 2017 annual report: a 10-K was due 2018-04-15 (claim 16645), the claim sits at 'delayed', and no filing date or explanation follows.
The July 2018 Nasdaq items should be read with care. The board-composition and compliance deadlines in claims 15465 through 15468 also show 'delayed', but on 2018-08-21 the company announced three new independent directors and regained compliance with the listing rule (claims 15435 through 15438). Those 'delayed' labels look like a ledger artifact, not a walk-back. The open question is narrower: claim 15468 set a separate 2019-06-28 deadline for the compensation committee, and the record holds no statement specifically confirming that deadline was met.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-06The patent-monetization business that Marathon described in detail in its 2014 annual disclosures does not appear in the later record. On 2014-03-30 the company listed acquired portfolios from Delphi, Zhone, TT IP, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, CyberFone, Siemens and Mosaid (claims 21016 through 21036). It also named IP Navigation Group as a key supplier (21024) and reported licensing agreements with Zhone and Siemens (21022, 21018). The last related item is the Opus Analytics SaaS offering on 2015-03-25 (21010). By 2018-08-13 the company was describing cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459). The record contains no statement on the status of those portfolios, the licensing agreements or the IP Navigation relationship, and no impairment, sale or abandonment is disclosed. All of these claims remain at 'stated'.
The Global Bit Ventures merger has an unresolved financial consequence. Claim 15477 records the termination on 2018-06-28, and claim 15461 (2018-08-13) describes a break-up fee payable in 3,000,000 shares, due by 2018-06-28. The ledger auto-transitioned 15461 to 'delayed' on 2026-09-15. The record contains no later disclosure confirming that those shares were issued, renegotiated or waived, and no explanation of what drove the termination beyond the concurrent director resignations (15476).
The going-concern language of 2018-08-13 (15462) flagged uncertainty about a 12-month cash runway, with a horizon of 2019-08-13. That date has passed, and the claim was auto-transitioned to 'delayed' on 2026-09-15. The record contains no follow-up statement on whether the runway concern was resolved or how the gap was funded. The only related item is the 10,000,000-share equity incentive reserve disclosed the same day (15460).
The 2017 annual report carried a 2018-04-15 filing deadline (16645), set during the interim tenure of Merrick D. Okamoto (16648). That claim is now 'delayed'. The record does not show when or whether the 10-K was filed, or whether an extension was formally sought. Its two ledger transitions, to 'delayed' and to 'stated', are both dated 2026-09-20, so the ordering of the current status should be confirmed.
The NASDAQ compliance items from 2018-07-12 (15465, 15466, 15467, 15468) were auto-transitioned to 'delayed' on 2026-09-15. Unlike the items above, the record does appear to resolve them. Three directors were appointed on 2018-08-21 (15435, 15436, 15437), and compliance was reported regained that same day (15438). The 'delayed' labels look like a ledger artifact rather than a walk-back. The compensation-committee deadline of 2019-06-28 (15468) is the one item not directly confirmed.
The 2013-04-04 claims describing operations in 26 countries, the Mara Foundation and the Thakkar family leadership (20897 through 20903), along with the UN Women and EY partnerships (20896, 20895), appear to describe Mara Group, an unrelated entity. They are excluded here and should be reviewed for misattribution. The claims list provided ends partway through 2018-10-15 (at 15394), so later disclosures may address some of these gaps.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-05The patent licensing business that defined the company through 2014 and 2015 has no exit on record. The 2014-03-30 disclosures list a wide set of acquired portfolios, including Sampo, Mosaid, CyberFone, Siemens, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, TT IP, Zhone and Delphi (claims 21015 through 21036). They also describe ongoing patent enforcement litigation (21025), the start of patent revenue (21014) and a supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (21024). The last related mention is the Opus Analytics SaaS offering on 2015-03-25 (21010). By 2018-08-13 the disclosures describe cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459) instead. Nothing in the record says whether the portfolios were sold, abandoned or written down, how the pending enforcement actions ended, or what became of Opus Analytics.
The real estate disposition that was being explored on 2013-02-04 (21044) is never mentioned again. That was the same filing that announced the IP pivot (21043). No later claim records a sale, a decision to keep the assets, or an end to the review.
The 10-K for fiscal 2017 was due by 2018-04-15 (16645). The ledger has moved it to delayed. The deadline appears in the same 2018-04-01 disclosure that named Merrick Okamoto interim chief executive (16648, 16644). No subsequent claim gives the actual filing date or explains the timing.
The Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated on 2018-06-28 (15477). The same day, directors resigned (15476). The 2018-08-13 disclosure describes a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares (15461), and that claim now sits at delayed. The record does not confirm whether the shares were issued. It also does not say why the deal ended or why the resignations came on the same day.
On 2018-08-13 the company disclosed doubt about its cash runway over the following twelve months (15462). That window closed on 2019-08-13 and the ledger has the claim at delayed. In the record provided, no later statement says how the gap was funded or whether the going-concern language was withdrawn.
Some items marked delayed should not be read as walk-backs. These are the NASDAQ compliance deadlines and the director appointments dated 2018-07-12 (15465 through 15468). On 2018-08-21 the company reported new independent directors, a new compensation committee chair and regained compliance (15435, 15436, 15437, 15438), which appears to resolve them.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-05Marathon's patent-licensing business is the largest topic that disappears from the record without explanation. On 2014-03-30 the company described a portfolio built from at least eight acquisitions, including CyberFone Systems, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Delphi, Zhone, Siemens, Mosaid and TT IP (claims 21016 through 21036). It also disclosed licensing agreements with Zhone and Siemens (21022, 21018), active enforcement litigation (21025), and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (21024). The last related mention is the Opus Analytics SaaS offering on 2015-03-25 (21010). By 2018 the disclosures concern cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459) instead. The record contains no statement on whether these portfolios were sold, abandoned or written down, whether the licensing agreements remain in force, or what became of the litigation.
The Global Bit Ventures merger termination carried a break-up fee payable in 3,000,000 shares, with a stated date of 2018-06-28 (claim 15461). That claim has since moved automatically to delayed. A separate disclosure of the same date confirms that the merger was terminated and that directors resigned (15477, 15476). The fee was last referenced on 2018-08-13. Nothing on record says whether the shares were issued, renegotiated or waived.
The 2018 annual report was promised by 2018-04-15 (claim 16645), during the interim leadership of Merrick Okamoto (16648, 16644). The claim is now marked delayed. The record contains no later disclosure giving the actual filing date or explaining the slippage.
On 2018-08-13 management flagged uncertainty about whether the company had a 12-month cash runway, a horizon that ran to 2019-08-13 (claim 15462). That claim has also auto-transitioned to delayed. No subsequent statement on record either resolves the going-concern question or updates the runway estimate.
Two earlier strategic statements from 2013 also have no follow-up. The company said on 2013-02-04 that it was exploring a disposition of its real estate business (21044), and on 2013-05-16 that it intended to list on the NASDAQ Capital Market (21037). Later NASDAQ compliance disclosures suggest a listing did happen, but neither the real estate disposition nor the date and terms of the listing appear anywhere in the record.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-03In February 2013 the company said it was exploring a disposition of its legacy real estate business as it repositioned around intellectual property (claim 21044, alongside the name change in claim 21045 and the IP monetization strategy in claim 21043). That is the only mention on record. No later disclosure in the ledger says whether a sale was completed, at what value, or whether the effort was abandoned. The claim still sits at 'stated', and the outcome of a business the company publicly put on the block has not been addressed.
The patent-monetization business was described in detail in March 2014: a portfolio built from Sampo, Mosaid, CyberFone, Siemens, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, Delphi, Zhone and TT IP (claims 21015 through 21036), active enforcement litigation (claim 21025), and IP Navigation Group named as a key supplier (claim 21024). In March 2015 the company introduced an Opus Analytics SaaS offering (claim 21010). Neither the SaaS product nor the IP Navigation relationship appears again. By August 2018 the record describes cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459) with no intervening entry on what became of the portfolio, the pending litigation, or the analytics product. The pivot is visible, but the wind-down of the prior business has not been accounted for in the disclosures on file.
The terminated Global Bit Ventures merger was disclosed on 2018-06-28 (claim 15477) and restated on 2018-08-13 with a break-up fee payable in 3,000,000 shares (claim 15461). The ledger has auto-transitioned that claim to 'delayed' against its 2018-06-28 date. Nothing on record confirms that the shares were issued, when, or on what terms, so the settlement of an obligation management quantified remains unconfirmed.
In August 2018 management flagged uncertainty over whether it had twelve months of cash runway, through 2019-08-13 (claim 15462). That window has long passed and the claim has been auto-marked 'delayed'. The record contains no follow-up stating whether the going-concern doubt was resolved, by what financing, or whether it was carried forward into later filings.
The April 2018 disclosure set a 2018-04-15 deadline for the annual 10-K (claim 16645), filed alongside an interim CEO appointment (claims 16644, 16648). The claim is marked 'delayed', and its transition history shows conflicting 'delayed' and 'stated' entries on the same date. No disclosure on file gives the actual filing date or acknowledges a late filing. By contrast, the NASDAQ board-composition deadlines from July 2018 (claims 15465 through 15468), although also auto-flagged 'delayed', appear to have been resolved by the August 2018 director appointments and the announced regaining of compliance (claims 15435, 15436, 15438). They are not treated here as walk-backs.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-03The patent business that defined the company from 2013 through 2015 has no recorded exit. In March 2014 management described a portfolio assembled from Sampo IP, CyberFone Systems, Mosaid, Siemens, Intergraph, TeleCommunication Systems, TT IP, Zhone and Delphi (claims 21015 through 21036), along with licensing agreements with Siemens and Zhone (21018, 21022), a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (21024) and the start of patent revenue (21014). The last product statement in this line is the Opus Analytics SaaS tool on 2015-03-25 (21010). By August 2018 the disclosures describe cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459) instead. All of these claims remain at stated status. The record contains no account of what happened to the portfolios, the licensing arrangements or the IP Navigation relationship, and no statement that the patent business was sold, written down or wound down.
The real estate disposition announced on 2013-02-04 (21044) is an older and smaller version of the same gap. Management said it was exploring a sale of the real estate business at the time it acquired Sampo IP and renamed itself Marathon Patent Group (21042, 21045). That is the only mention. No later disclosure on record says whether a sale took place, on what terms, or whether the effort was dropped.
The annual report due 2018-04-15 (16645) was disclosed on 2018-04-01, alongside the appointment of Merrick Okamoto as interim chief executive (16644, 16648). The ledger now marks the deadline as delayed. Nothing on record states when the 10-K was actually filed or why the deadline was missed, and no revised date was announced.
The Global Bit Ventures merger was reported terminated on 2018-06-28 (15477), together with director resignations (15476). The 2018-08-13 filing then described a break-up fee payable in 3,000,000 shares (15461), and the ledger has marked that item delayed. There is no later statement confirming that the shares were issued, that the fee was renegotiated, or that the obligation was settled in some other way.
The 2018-08-13 filing also flagged uncertainty about the company having twelve months of cash (15462). That window ran to 2019-08-13, and the ledger has marked the item delayed. No disclosure on record says the going-concern doubt was resolved, or what financing, beyond the 10,000,000-share 2018 equity incentive reserve (15460), was expected to close the gap. The NASDAQ compliance deadlines from 2018-07-12 (15465 through 15468) carry the same automated delayed label. Here the record is more complete: compliance was declared regained on 2018-08-21 (15438), and new committee chairs were named the same day (15435, 15436, 15437). Those labels likely overstate the problem and are noted here only for completeness.
This review covers the claims ledger as supplied. That ledger ends in October 2018, so later disclosures may address some of these questions.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-02The 2018 annual report is the earliest dated commitment in the record that lapsed without a follow-up. On 2018-04-01, alongside the installation of Merrick D. Okamoto as interim chief executive (claims 16644, 16648), the company pointed to a 10-K filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim 16645). The ledger now carries that claim as delayed. No later claim records when the report was actually filed, whether an extension was taken, or how the leadership change bore on the timing.
The NASDAQ compliance commitments of 2018-07-12 were resolved only in part, and only by implication. That disclosure set four dated obligations: a compliance plan by 2018-08-24 (claim 15466), two new independent directors and restored listing-rule compliance by 2019-01-07 (claims 15465, 15467), and a compensation committee fix by 2019-06-28 (claim 15468). All four now sit at delayed. Six weeks later the company announced that compliance had been regained (claim 15438) and named Michael Berg, S. Michael Rudolph and Fred Thiel to board and committee roles (claims 15435, 15436, 15437). That suggests the director and committee items were met early. The company never tied the announcement back to the specific deadlines, though. Nothing on record says whether the compliance plan was submitted or whether the 2019 compensation committee requirement was separately satisfied.
The Global Bit Ventures merger ended on 2018-06-28 (claim 15477). A 2018-08-13 disclosure attached a break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares to that termination, dated to the same day (claim 15461), and the ledger now shows that claim as delayed. Subsequent disclosures do not mention whether the shares were issued, when, or on what terms. They also give no account of why the merger, which had framed the company's turn toward cryptocurrency, was abandoned.
The same 2018-08-13 filing raised doubt about whether the company had twelve months of cash, a horizon running to 2019-08-13 (claim 15462). It also announced an expansion of cryptocurrency mining with no stated capacity, cost or timetable (claim 15459). The runway claim has passed its date and reads as delayed. Nothing in the record says how the funding question was settled, and the mining expansion was never given figures that could later be checked against results.
The patent-monetization business that defined the company from 2013 through 2015 drops out of the record without any closing statement. That business included the Sampo IP acquisition and the IP monetization model (claims 21042, 21043), licensing deals with Siemens and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022), the IP Navigation Group supplier relationship (claim 21024), and the Opus Analytics SaaS offering last mentioned on 2015-03-25 (claim 21010). The 2013 plan to explore disposing of the real estate business (claim 21044) also appears once and never again. The record has no account of what became of these portfolios, licenses or products, or of any write-down, before the 2018 disclosures arrive describing a different company.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-02The patent-monetization business that defined the company's disclosures from 2013 through 2015 has no successor mentions on the record. The 2014-03-30 filing describes a portfolio built from Sampo IP, Mosaid, CyberFone, Siemens, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, Zhone, TT IP and Delphi (claims 21013 through 21036), licensing agreements with Siemens Technology and Zhone (21018, 21022), and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (21024). The last related item is the Opus Analytics SaaS offering on 2015-03-25 (21010). By 2018-08-13 the disclosures describe cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459) instead. All of these claims remain in 'stated' status. Nothing on record says whether the portfolios were sold, written off, abandoned or allowed to lapse, whether the licensing agreements or the IP Navigation relationship were terminated, or what became of Opus Analytics.
The 2013-02-04 disclosure said the company was exploring disposition of its real estate business (21044). That was the only mention. No later disclosure on record reports a sale, a spin-off or a decision to keep the assets, and the claim still sits in 'stated' status more than a decade later.
The 2018-04-01 disclosure tied the annual 10-K to a 2018-04-15 deadline (16645). The ledger shows the claim auto-transitioned to 'delayed' on 2026-09-20. No subsequent disclosure on record confirms when, or whether, the report was filed, or explains the reason for missing the date.
The Global Bit Ventures merger was reported terminated on 2018-06-28 (15477). The 2018-08-13 filing referenced a break-up fee payable in 3,000,000 shares (15461). That claim has since auto-transitioned to 'delayed'. The record does not say whether the shares were issued, renegotiated or disputed, and no follow-up statement on the fee appears.
The 2018-08-13 filing flagged uncertainty about whether the company had cash to fund operations over the following twelve months (15462). That horizon closed on 2019-08-13, and the claim is now auto-marked 'delayed'. No later disclosure on record says how the shortfall was resolved, whether through financing, cost reductions or a change in the mining plan described alongside it. By contrast, the Nasdaq board-composition deadlines from 2018-07-12 (15465, 15467, 15468) are also auto-marked 'delayed', but the 2018-08-21 disclosures report new independent directors and regained compliance (15435 through 15438). Those items appear to have been addressed rather than walked back.
What we haven't been told
2026-10-01The patent-monetization business that defined the company's early filings has no recorded wind-down. Between February 2013 and March 2015 management described acquiring and licensing a substantial portfolio: Sampo IP (claims 21042, 21015, 21028), CyberFone Systems (21017, 21030), Mosaid (21016, 21029), TeleCommunication Systems (21019, 21032), Intergraph (21020, 21033), Delphi (21023, 21036), TT IP (21021, 21034), and Zhone (21022, 21035). It also cited licensing agreements with Siemens and Zhone (21018, 21022), a supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (21024), active enforcement litigation (21025), and an Opus Analytics SaaS product (21010, last mentioned 2015-03-25). By August 2018 the disclosures describe cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459). Nothing on record says what happened to the portfolio, the licenses, the litigation, or Opus Analytics. There is no sale, abandonment, impairment, or expiry statement. The real-estate disposition management said it was exploring in February 2013 (21044) also has no recorded outcome.
The Global Bit Ventures merger was reported terminated on 2018-06-28 (15477). Its break-up consideration of 3,000,000 shares (15461), disclosed on 2018-08-13, carries a 2018-06-28 date and is now marked delayed, with an earlier stated transition. The record contains no statement confirming that the shares were issued, when, or on what terms, and no explanation of the terminated deal beyond the termination itself.
The 2018-08-13 disclosure raised doubt about whether cash would last twelve months (15462), a window running to 2019-08-13. The ledger now marks that claim delayed. No later claim on record says the uncertainty was resolved or restated, or says how the company was funded through that period. The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan reserve of 10,000,000 shares (15460) appears in the same filing and has no follow-up on usage.
The 2018 annual report was due 2018-04-15 (16645), alongside an interim CEO appointment (16648, 16644). The claim is marked delayed, and the record has no filing-date confirmation or late-filing explanation. The NASDAQ deficiency items from 2018-07-12 (15465, 15466, 15467, 15468) are also marked delayed. However, a 2018-08-21 claim reports compliance regained (15438), along with new directors and committee chairs (15435, 15436, 15437). Those deadline claims were never formally closed against that statement. This may be a reconciliation gap in the ledger rather than a walk-back.
Some caveats apply to everything above. Every delayed status here was set by automated extraction in September 2026, and several claims carry both delayed and stated transitions. The record supplied also ends partway through October 2018, so later disclosures may address some of these gaps. Separately, the 2013-04-04 claims about the Mara Foundation, the Thakkar family, and African operations (20897 through 20903) appear to describe a different entity and may be misattributed.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-30The patent-monetization business that defined the company's identity from 2013 onward has no closing entry in the record. The February 2013 disclosures describe an IP acquisition, development and monetization business (claim 21043), and the March 2014 filing lists more than a dozen acquired portfolios, including Sampo, Mosaid, CyberFone, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, Siemens, Zhone, Delphi and TT IP (claims 21013 through 21036), along with licensing relationships with Siemens and Zhone (claims 21018, 21022) and a supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claim 21024). The last related item is the Opus Analytics SaaS offering on 2015-03-25 (claim 21010). All of these remain at 'stated'. The record contains no disclosure explaining what happened to the portfolios, whether the licensing agreements expired or were terminated, whether the patents were sold, written down or allowed to lapse, or what became of Opus Analytics before the company re-emerged as a cryptocurrency miner in 2018.
On 2013-02-04 management said it was exploring a disposition of its real estate business (claim 21044). The ledger has no later statement on whether a sale occurred, on what terms, or whether the effort was abandoned. The reverse split authorized the same day at a 2-for-3 ratio (claim 21046) likewise has no follow-up confirming that it took effect.
The Global Bit Ventures merger was reported terminated on 2018-06-28 (claim 15477). A separate claim dated 2018-08-13 describes a break-up fee payable in 3,000,000 shares tied to that termination date (claim 15461). That claim has been auto-transitioned to 'delayed'. The record does not show that the shares were issued, that the fee was renegotiated, or that the obligation was otherwise settled.
The 10-K for the period ending in early 2018 carried a filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (claim 16645). It was auto-transitioned to 'delayed' and, on the same date, also recorded as 'stated', which leaves its standing ambiguous. No entry in the ledger gives the actual filing date or acknowledges a late filing.
The August 2018 disclosure flagged uncertainty over a twelve-month cash runway, measured to 2019-08-13 (claim 15462). That horizon has passed, and the claim is now auto-flagged 'delayed'. Nothing in the record says whether the going-concern doubt was lifted, through what financing, or whether it was carried into later filings.
Two cautions about the ledger itself. The NASDAQ compliance items from 2018-07-12 (claims 15465 through 15468) are flagged 'delayed', but the record reports that compliance was regained on 2018-08-21, with three directors appointed and a compensation committee chair named (claims 15435 through 15438). Those flags therefore look like automated artifacts rather than walk-backs. Separately, claims 20895 through 20903, covering operations in 26 countries, the Thakkar family, the Mara Foundation, and the UN Women and EY partnerships, appear to describe the unrelated African conglomerate Mara Group and are likely misattributed to this company. Finally, the ledger supplied here is truncated after October 2018, so later disclosures may address some of these gaps.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-30In its 2014 disclosures (claims 21013 through 21036), Marathon described a patent monetization business built on portfolios acquired from Sampo IP, Mosaid Technologies, CyberFone Systems, Siemens Technology, TeleCommunication Systems, Intergraph, Zhone, TT IP and Delphi Technologies. It also named licensing agreements with Siemens Technology (21018) and Zhone (21022) and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (21024). A year later, on 2015-03-25, it introduced an Opus Analytics SaaS offering (21010). After that date none of these portfolios, licenses or the Opus product appears again in the record. By 2018-08-13 the company was describing cryptocurrency mining expansion (15459) instead. The record contains no statement on whether the patents were sold, abandoned, written off or allowed to lapse, whether the licensing agreements ended, or what became of Opus Analytics.
On 2013-02-04, alongside the Sampo IP acquisition and the name change to Marathon Patent Group, management said it was exploring a disposition of its real estate business (21044). That is the only mention. Nothing on record says whether a sale happened, on what terms, or whether the idea was dropped.
The Global Bit Ventures merger was recorded as terminated on 2018-06-28 (15477), and directors resigned at the same time (15476). A filing dated 2018-08-13 described a break-up fee payable in 3,000,000 shares, with 2018-06-28 as the reference date (15461). The ledger has since moved this claim to delayed. That is the last mention. There is no later statement confirming that the shares were issued, that the fee was renegotiated, or that the obligation was settled.
Also on 2018-08-13, management disclosed uncertainty about whether it had twelve months of cash runway, a horizon ending 2019-08-13 (15462). This claim now also sits at delayed. No subsequent disclosure in the record resolves the question, either by reporting new financing tied to the concern or by withdrawing the going-concern language.
On 2018-04-01, while Merrick Okamoto was interim chief executive (16648), the company pointed to an annual report filing deadline of 2018-04-15 (16645). That claim is recorded as delayed, and the record holds no later statement giving the actual filing date or explaining the lateness. The Nasdaq compliance items from 2018-07-12 (15465 through 15468) are also marked delayed. However, the 2018-08-21 disclosure that compliance was regained, together with three new committee chair appointments (15435 through 15438), appears to address them, so they are not included here as unexplained.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-27The patent-monetization business that defined the company's early filings has no closing entry in the record. In February 2013 management described an IP acquisition, development and monetization strategy (claim 21043). By March 2014 it had listed a string of portfolio purchases, including CyberFone Systems, Siemens Technology, TeleCommunication Systems, Delphi Technologies, Intergraph, Zhone, Mosaid and TT IP (claims 21015 through 21036). It also described licensing agreements, patent enforcement litigation, the start of patent revenue, and a key supplier relationship with IP Navigation Group (claims 21014, 21018, 21022, 21024, 21025). All of these remain at 'stated' status. By August 2018 the disclosures on record describe cryptocurrency mining expansion (claim 15459) instead. Nothing on record explains what happened to the portfolios, the pending litigation, or the licensing relationships.
The Opus Analytics SaaS tool was introduced on 2025-03-25 (claim 21010) and never appears again. The ledger holds no launch metrics, customer figures, discontinuation notice or write-down for it. It is the only product offering of that period on record, and its status is still 'stated' more than a decade later.
In the same February 2013 filing that announced the rename to Marathon Patent Group, management said it would explore disposing of its real estate business (claim 21044). The record contains no later disclosure saying whether the sale happened, on what terms, or whether the idea was dropped. The claim remains 'stated' with no follow-up.
In April 2018 the company cited an April 15, 2018 deadline for its 10-K annual report (claim 16645), and the ledger has since marked that claim 'delayed'. In the same disclosure, Merrick D. Okamoto was named interim chief executive (claims 16644, 16648). The record contains no filing confirmation and no reason for the delay. It also contains no later statement on whether the interim appointment became permanent.
In August 2018 management flagged uncertainty about whether the company had enough cash for the next twelve months (claim 15462), and the claim auto-transitioned to 'delayed' once the August 2019 horizon passed. No later disclosure on record says whether that uncertainty was resolved, whether new financing arrived, or how the runway actually played out. The Nasdaq-related deadlines from July 2018 (claims 15465, 15466, 15467, 15468) also show 'delayed' in the ledger. However, the August 2018 board appointments and the stated return to listing-rule compliance (claims 15435 through 15438) suggest those were met, and that the 'delayed' status there is a ledger artifact rather than a silent walk-back.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-27The Quebec data center is the most concrete operating commitment in the record that later goes unaddressed. On 2019-06-02 and again on 2019-07-01, management described a 26,700 square foot mining facility in Quebec (claim 15230) on a lease running through November 2022, with rent disclosed at $120,150 (claims 15229 and 15219). The same period's filings described roughly 1,400 deployed mining units (claim 15220). The lease date has passed, and both lease claims were automatically moved to delayed on 2026-09-15. Nothing in the disclosures on record says whether the lease was renewed, terminated early or allowed to lapse, or where the equipment went afterward. The facility is not mentioned again after mid-2019.
The Nasdaq listing-compliance thread has a similar gap. The company reported regaining compliance with one listing rule on 2018-08-21 (claim 15438). Later deadlines then appear without any recorded resolution: the $1.00 minimum bid price deadline of 2019-04-15 (claim 15383), a compliance plan due 2019-07-05 after a fresh violation notice (claims 15243 and 15244), and a minimum stockholders' equity filing due 2019-11-13 (claim 15196). The reverse stock split, authorized with a target of 2018-12-31 (claim 15332), has no follow-up statement confirming it was carried out or setting the ratio. All of these were auto-transitioned to delayed on 2026-09-15. The record does not show whether each notice was cured, extended by Nasdaq or superseded.
The move into Ether mining was stated once, on 2019-06-02 (claim 15231). It came alongside the July 2019 purchase of cryptocurrency patents from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 and a 30 percent waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claims 15218 and 15223). None of these recurs in later claims on record. There is no disclosure that Ether mining began or was abandoned, and none about whether the patent entity produced any licensing or litigation proceeds.
The company twice gave twelve-month liquidity language: uncertainty about a 12-month cash runway as of 2018-08-13 (claim 15462), and a statement on 2019-07-31 that operating cash would be sufficient through 2020-07-31 (claim 15197). The $7.47 million at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright was set up on 2019-07-18 with a July 2022 termination date (claims 15202, 15203 and 15206). Each of these horizons has passed and was marked delayed automatically. The record contains no update on how much of the ATM capacity was used, whether the agreement ran to term, or whether the sufficiency statement held.
One caveat applies to all four items. The delayed statuses come from automated date checks, not from anything the company said, and the ledger available here ends in mid-2019. The observation is that there is no recorded follow-up, not that the company is known to have fallen short.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-27The Nasdaq listing questions of 2018 and 2019 are the clearest loose thread. The 2018 board-composition deficiency (claims 15465, 15467) appears to have been closed when the company reported regaining compliance on 2018-08-21 (claim 15438). The later notices have no matching resolution in the record. These are the minimum bid price deadline of 2019-04-15 (claim 15383), the reverse split authorization tied to it (claim 15332), the 2019-05-23 rule violation with a compliance plan due 2019-07-05 (claims 15243, 15244), and the minimum stockholders' equity filing due 2019-11-13 (claim 15196). All the dated items now read as delayed because their deadlines passed with no disclosure of the outcome. The record does not say whether compliance was regained, whether an extension was granted, or whether the reverse split was carried out.
The Quebec data center was presented in mid-2019 as the operational base. It was described as a 26,700 square foot facility (claim 15230) under a lease running through November 2022 at a stated cost of $120,150 (claims 15219, 15229), housing roughly 1,400 deployed mining units (claim 15220). The last mention is 2019-07-01. The lease end date has since passed, and the record contains nothing on renewal, relocation, or exit. The site has simply dropped out of the disclosures.
On 2019-06-02 the company described plans to mine Ether alongside bitcoin (claim 15231). The plan does not reappear in the disclosures that follow. The record has no statement that it was launched, deferred, or abandoned.
In July 2019 the company disclosed buying a cryptocurrency patent from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218). The deal carried a 30 percent waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223). Both claims were last mentioned on 2019-07-01. The record has no later word on whether the patent was licensed, enforced, or written off, or on what the special purpose entity has returned.
The at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright was signed on 2019-07-18 (claim 15202). It carried $7,472,417 of capacity and was set to end on 2022-07-19 (claims 15203, 15206). Around the same time, management said it expected operating cash to last twelve months (claim 15197), an assurance that followed an earlier disclosure of runway uncertainty (claim 15462). The agreement's end date has passed. No later disclosure on record says how much of the program was drawn, whether it was replaced, or how the runway picture resolved.
One caveat applies to all of the above. The claims list supplied here is cut off partway through 2019, so these findings cover only the portion of the record shown.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-26The Quebec mining footprint is the most concrete commitment that goes quiet. In June and July 2019 management described a 26,700 square foot facility in Quebec (claim 15230), leased through November 2022 at a stated cost of $120,150 (claims 15229, 15219). It also described a deployment of 1,400 Bitcoin mining units (claim 15220), with operations at the Granby site run through a hosting and security arrangement (claims 15198, 15199). The last mention on record is 2019-07-31. Both lease-term claims have since been auto-transitioned to delayed because the November 2022 end date passed without a confirming disclosure. The record does not say whether the lease ran to term, was renewed or terminated early, or whether the 1,400 machines stayed in Granby, were relocated, or were retired.
Ether mining appeared once, as a stated plan in the June 2, 2019 disclosure (claim 15231), alongside the general description of cryptocurrency mining operations (claim 15221). It does not recur in the July 2019 filings or anywhere later in the claims on record. There is no statement that Ether mining began, no revenue or hash-rate figure attached to it, and no announcement that the idea was dropped.
The patent strategy has a similar shape. On 2019-07-01 the company disclosed buying a cryptocurrency patent from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and holding a 30 percent waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223). Both claims remain in stated status with no follow-up. Nothing on record describes licensing income, enforcement activity, a write-down, or the eventual fate of the SPE interest, even though patent monetization had been the company's pre-mining identity.
The July 2019 At The Market program with H.C. Wainwright was set at $7,472,417 of capacity, carried a 3 percent commission, and ran until 2022-07-19 (claims 15202, 15203, 15204, 15206, echoing the shelf figure in claims 15217 and 15228). Both dated claims have been auto-marked delayed now that the termination date has passed. The record contains no statement of how much of the capacity was used, or whether the agreement expired, was terminated, or was replaced by a larger facility.
The Nasdaq compliance thread was never visibly closed. A minimum bid price deficiency carried a cure deadline of 2019-04-15 (claim 15383), and a reverse split was authorized with a 2018-12-31 target (claim 15332). Both are now auto-transitioned to delayed, with no disclosure on record confirming that the split was effected or that bid-price compliance was regained. Board-composition compliance was separately declared restored in August 2018 (claim 15438). Yet by 2019-05-23 the company reported a fresh listing-rule violation, with a plan due 2019-07-05 (claims 15243, 15244). No subsequent statement on record explains how, or whether, that later deficiency was resolved. The twelve-month cash sufficiency statements of August 2018 and July 2019 (claims 15462, 15197) have likewise lapsed without a follow-up assessment. In every case above, the delayed status reflects a passed date with no confirming statement in the record, not an admitted slip.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-26The Quebec data center is the clearest open thread. In June and July 2019 Marathon described a 26,700 square foot mining facility in Quebec, leased through November 30, 2022 at a stated cost of $120,150 (claims 15230, 15229, 15219). It also described deploying about 1,400 bitcoin mining units, presumably at that site (claim 15220). The last mention on record is July 1, 2019. The lease end date has since passed, and the ledger marked both lease claims delayed on an automated basis. Nothing on record says whether the lease was renewed, terminated early or allowed to expire, or what became of the equipment housed there.
On June 2, 2019 the company said it planned to mine ether alongside bitcoin (claim 15231). That is the only reference to it. The disclosures that follow describe the business simply as cryptocurrency mining (claim 15221) and bitcoin equipment (claim 15220). The ledger holds no later statement that ether mining started, was put off or was dropped, so the plan appears to have lapsed without explanation.
Also on July 1, 2019, Marathon disclosed buying cryptocurrency patents from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218). It also disclosed a 30% waterfall interest in a special purpose entity that holds patents (claim 15223). Neither appears again in the claims on record. Nothing has been said about licensing income, litigation proceeds, write-downs or disposal of either the patents or the SPE interest.
Marathon had a string of Nasdaq compliance problems in 2018 and 2019, and only one of them has an explicit resolution. In August 2018 it announced that it had regained compliance with the board-composition rules (claim 15438), which likely makes the automated delayed status on claims 15465 through 15468 an artifact. After that, three more issues were opened and never visibly closed. One was a $1.00 minimum bid price deadline of April 15, 2019 (claim 15383), with a reverse split authorized to take effect by December 31, 2018 (claim 15332). Another was a new rule violation in May 2019 with a compliance plan due July 5, 2019 (claims 15243, 15244). The third was a minimum equity compliance filing due November 13, 2019 (claim 15196). All of these were marked delayed automatically once their dates passed. The record contains no statement that the reverse split was carried out on schedule, that the bid price or equity deficiencies were cured, or that Nasdaq accepted the plans.
The July 2019 at-the-market agreement with H.C. Wainwright provided up to $7,472,417 of capacity running to July 19, 2022 (claims 15202, 15203, 15206). The same period carried recurring twelve-month cash-sufficiency caveats (claims 15462, 15197). The record does not show how much of that capacity was used, whether the agreement ran to term or was replaced, or whether the going-concern language was ever formally withdrawn. Each of these items was last mentioned in mid-2019, and their current status comes from the ledger's date checks rather than from anything management has said.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-26The Quebec hosting arrangement is the clearest thread that goes quiet. In June and July 2019 the company described a 26,700 square foot facility (claim 15230), a lease running through November 2022 at about $120,150 (claims 15229 and 15219), roughly 1,400 mining machines deployed (claim 15220), and bitcoin mining at the Granby site (claim 15198). The last mention in the record is 2019-07-31. Both lease-term claims have since been automatically marked delayed because the November 2022 end date passed with nothing disclosed about it. The record has no renewal, early exit, relocation of the 1,400 machines, or statement on whether Granby still hosts company equipment.
Ether mining appears once. On 2019-06-02 management described plans to mine ether (claim 15231), alongside the Quebec facility disclosure. The claim remains at stated, with no later reference to launching, scaling, or abandoning those plans, and no filing in the record tells shareholders what became of them.
The cryptocurrency patent position also stops being discussed. On 2019-07-01 the company disclosed buying cryptocurrency patents from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and holding a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223). Neither is mentioned after that date in the record. There is no word on licensing income, litigation, impairment, or whether the entity still exists, even though 30% waterfall language implies expected recoveries management would ordinarily report on.
The H.C. Wainwright at-the-market program was announced on 2019-07-18 (claim 15202) with $7,472,417 of capacity, a 3% commission, and a termination date of 2022-07-19 (claims 15203, 15204, 15206). The same $7.47 million figure had appeared in the shelf registration disclosures of June and July 2019 (claims 15228 and 15217). The capacity and termination-date claims were automatically marked delayed once July 2022 passed. The record shows no disclosure of how much was sold, whether the program was replaced, or when it formally ended.
The Nasdaq compliance history ends differently in its second round. In 2018 the company followed its deficiency notices with an explicit statement on 2018-08-21 that compliance had been regained (claim 15438). The 2019 round shows no such close. A listing rule violation was disclosed on 2019-05-23 (claim 15243), a compliance plan was due by 2019-07-05 (claim 15244), and a minimum equity filing was due by 2019-11-13 (claim 15196). Both dated items now sit at delayed through automatic transition. Similarly, the 2018 minimum bid price deadline of 2019-04-15 (claim 15383) and the reverse split authorization targeted for year-end 2018 (claim 15332) are marked delayed, and the record has no confirmation that a split was carried out or that bid-price compliance was restored.
Two caveats apply. The delayed statuses above were assigned automatically because promised dates passed, not because management announced a slip. The claims list supplied here also ends partway through the 2019-07-31 entries, so some of these threads may be resolved in later filings not shown. Within the record as provided, however, none of these items carries a follow-up statement explaining its outcome.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-26The Quebec hosting arrangement is the most concrete commitment that goes quiet. In June and July 2019 the company described a 26,700 square foot facility (claim 15230), a lease running through November 2022 at a stated cost of $120,150 (claims 15229 and 15219), roughly 1,400 mining units deployed there (claim 15220), and Bitcoin mining at the Granby site (claim 15198). The last mention on record is 2019-07-31. Both lease-term claims were moved to delayed on 2026-09-15 because the November 2022 date passed, not because the company announced anything. The record contains nothing on whether the lease ran to term, was ended early or renegotiated, or what happened to the 1,400 machines.
On 2019-06-02 management said it planned to mine Ether (claim 15231). Later disclosures on record refer only to Bitcoin and to cryptocurrency mining in general (claims 15221 and 15198). The claim still shows as stated, but it has not come up again. No disclosure on record says the plan was carried out, postponed or dropped.
The patent line of business also stops being mentioned. On 2019-07-01 the company disclosed a $250,000 acquisition of cryptocurrency patents from XpresSpa Group (claim 15218) and a 30 percent waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223). That filing is the last mention. Nothing on record reports any income from the entity, a change in its value, or an exit from the interest, even though the company's stated focus moved fully to mining.
The at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright was signed on 2019-07-18 (claim 15202). It had $7,472,417 of capacity (claim 15203), a 3 percent commission (claim 15204) and a termination date of 2022-07-19 (claim 15206). The capacity and termination claims were auto-marked delayed once the 2022 date passed. The record does not show how much was raised under the agreement, whether it was used up, replaced or allowed to lapse, or whether the Wainwright relationship continued.
Several listing deadlines were also set and never closed out in the record. There was a Nasdaq minimum bid price deadline of 2019-04-15 (claim 15383), and a reverse split authorization tied to 2018-12-31 (claim 15332) was the likely remedy. A new listing-rule violation followed on 2019-05-23 with a compliance plan due 2019-07-05 (claims 15243 and 15244), and then a minimum equity compliance filing due 2019-11-13 (claim 15196). Each deadline was mechanically transitioned to delayed. Unlike the 2018 board-composition issue, where the company announced regained compliance (claim 15438), the record has no statement that these later deficiencies were resolved. The same applies to the twelve-month cash sufficiency outlook given in 2019 (claim 15197), which was never later confirmed or revised on record.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-24The Global Bit Ventures merger ended on 2018-06-28 (claim 15477). The 2018-08-13 filing described the termination as carrying a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares, tied to a 2018-06-28 date (claim 15461). That filing is the last time the fee appears in the record. The claim now sits at delayed, a status the ledger assigned automatically on 2026-09-15, not one the company announced. No later disclosure on record says whether the shares were issued, renegotiated or dropped, and none explains how the fee was accounted for.
The Quebec mining operation was described in some detail in mid-2019. It was a 26,700-square-foot facility (claim 15230) holding about 1,400 deployed Bitcoin mining units (claim 15220), run with a partner at the Granby site (claim 15198). It was leased through November 2022 at a stated 120,150 USD (claims 15219 and 15229). The last mention is 2019-07-31. The lease end date has since passed, and both lease claims were moved to delayed automatically. The record contains no statement on whether the lease was renewed, whether the Granby arrangement ended, or where the 1,400 machines went.
Two side initiatives from mid-2019 appear once and do not recur. The 2019-06-02 disclosures mentioned plans to mine Ether (claim 15231). The 2019-07-01 filing described a cryptocurrency patent bought from XpresSpa Group for 250,000 USD (claim 15218) and a 30 percent waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223). All three remain at stated, which only means nothing later confirmed or contradicted them. No subsequent disclosure on record reports any Ether mining, any revenue or litigation from the patent entity, or a decision to abandon either line.
Nasdaq compliance followed a pattern of deadlines that were never clearly closed out. The company set a minimum bid price deadline of 2019-04-15 at 1.0 USD (claim 15383). Shareholders authorized a reverse stock split to be effected by 2018-12-31 (claim 15332). Then a fresh listing rule violation was disclosed on 2019-05-23, with a compliance plan due 2019-07-05 (claims 15243 and 15244). Each dated item was auto-transitioned to delayed. The record shows the separate board-composition issue resolved on 2018-08-21 (claim 15438). It contains no matching statement that the bid price deficiency was cured, that the split was carried out, or that the May 2019 compliance plan was submitted and accepted.
The going-concern language has a similar gap. In 2018-08-13 the company flagged uncertainty over its twelve-month cash runway (claim 15462). By 2019-07-31 it said operating cash was sufficient for the following twelve months (claim 15197). Both horizons passed and were marked delayed by the ledger, not by management. The record does not say what changed between the two statements, or whether the 2019 sufficiency view relied on the H.C. Wainwright at-the-market program (claims 15202 and 15203).
What we haven't been told
2026-09-23The Quebec mining site is the clearest example of a commitment with a fixed end date and no follow-up. In June and July 2019 the company described a 26,700-square-foot facility (claim 15230), about 1,400 Bitcoin mining units deployed there (claim 15220), and a data center lease running through November 2022 at 120,150 USD (claims 15219 and 15229). On 2019-07-31 it added operating arrangements at the Granby facility covering mining operations, 24-hour security and financial operations management (claims 15198, 15199 and 15200). The lease end date passed, and both lease claims were moved automatically to delayed on 2026-09-15. Nothing on record says whether the lease was renewed, ended early or allowed to lapse, or what happened to the deployed machines. The 1,400-unit figure has not been updated in either direction.
The Ether mining plans disclosed on 2019-06-02 (claim 15231) were not mentioned again. They followed a broader August 2018 statement about expanding cryptocurrency mining (claim 15459). Both are still recorded as stated, and no later disclosure on file says whether Ether mining started, was tested or was dropped.
The patent business has also gone quiet. On 2019-07-01 the company recorded a 250,000 USD purchase of cryptocurrency-related patents from XpresSpa Group (claim 15218) and a 30 percent waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223). Neither claim has a follow-up. The record does not say whether the entity produced any licensing or litigation proceeds, whether the waterfall ever paid out, or whether the patents are still held.
The Nasdaq listing issues resolved only in part. The July 2018 board and committee deficiencies (claims 15465, 15466, 15467 and 15468) appear to have been addressed. The company reported regaining compliance on 2018-08-21 (claim 15438) and appointed new committee chairs the same day (claims 15435, 15436 and 15437), so the automated delayed status on those items probably overstates the lapse. Later items have no stated resolution. These are the minimum bid price deadline of 2019-04-15 (claim 15383), the reverse split authorization targeted for 2018-12-31 (claim 15332), a new listing violation on 2019-05-23 with a compliance plan due 2019-07-05 (claims 15243 and 15244), and a minimum equity filing due 2019-11-13 (claim 15196). Each was moved to delayed automatically on 2026-09-15. None has a matching company statement confirming compliance, an extension or a hearing outcome.
The at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright, announced on 2019-07-18, is another open item. It allowed up to 7,472,417 USD in sales at a 3 percent commission and was set to terminate on 2022-07-19 (claims 15202, 15203, 15204 and 15206). The termination date passed and the claims were moved to delayed automatically. Nothing on record discloses how much of the program was used, whether it was replaced or when it actually ended. The 12-month cash runway uncertainty flagged in August 2018 (claim 15462) likewise has no closing statement explaining how the gap was funded.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-23The Quebec mining footprint is the clearest thread that goes quiet. In June and July 2019 management described a 26,700-square-foot facility (claim 15230), a data center lease running through November 2022 at a stated $120,150 (claims 15229, 15219), roughly 1,400 deployed Bitcoin miners (claim 15220), and a set of operating arrangements at the Granby site covering mining operations, 24-hour security and financial operations management (claims 15198, 15199, 15200). The last mention in this record is 2019-07-31. Both lease-term claims have since moved to delayed by automated transition because the November 2022 end date passed with nothing further on file. No disclosure in the record says whether the lease was renewed, terminated early or allowed to lapse, or what became of the 1,400 machines.
Ether mining appeared once, in the 2019-06-02 filing, as a stated plan (claim 15231). It is not mentioned again in any later claim on record. The company has not said it began Ether mining, and it has not said it dropped the idea. The plan simply stops appearing, while later disclosures refer only to cryptocurrency and Bitcoin mining in general terms (claims 15221, 15198).
The patent strategy follows the same pattern. On 2019-07-01 the company disclosed a $250,000 purchase of cryptocurrency patents from XpresSpa Group (claim 15218) and a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223). Neither claim has a later update. The record contains nothing on licensing income, enforcement activity, distributions from the entity, or any write-down. Both claims remain in stated status with no follow-up.
The $7,472,417 at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright was signed on 2019-07-18 with a 3% commission and a termination date of 2022-07-19 (claims 15202, 15203, 15204, 15206). The same dollar figure appears in the shelf registration disclosures (claims 15228, 15217). Both date-bound ATM claims have auto-transitioned to delayed because the 2022 end date passed without a matching record. The file does not say how much of the capacity was used, whether the agreement ran to term, or whether it was replaced by a different facility.
The Nasdaq compliance history is only partly closed out. The 2018 board-composition deficiencies (claims 15465, 15466, 15468) appear to be resolved by the 2018-08-21 statement that compliance was regained (claim 15438), even though the ledger still marks them delayed. The later items have no such resolution on file. These are the $1.00 minimum bid deadline of 2019-04-15 (claim 15383), the reverse split authorization targeted for 2018-12-31 (claim 15332), the fresh listing-rule violation and plan deadline of 2019-05-23 and 2019-07-05 (claims 15243, 15244), and the minimum equity filing due 2019-11-13 (claim 15196). None has a follow-up confirming it was cured, extended or appealed. The same is true of the 12-month cash runway uncertainty flagged in August 2019 (claim 15462). The record provided ends mid-2019, so later filings may address some of these points, but none of those filings appear here.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-22The Ether mining program is the cleanest disappearance. Claim 15231 records "Ether mining plans" as of 2019-06-02, alongside the Quebec facility disclosures from the same date. It carries no promised-by date, no capacity, and no subsequent transition beyond its initial 'stated' on 2026-09-14, and it does not reappear in any later disclosure on record. Bitcoin mining continues to be described (claims 15221, 15220, 15198), so the omission is selective rather than a general silence about mining. Nothing on record says the Ether plan was deferred, scaled back, or abandoned, or what the company concluded when it stopped mentioning it.
The Quebec/Granby facility commitments have slipped without any revision statement. Claim 15229 (lease term) and claim 15219 (data center lease at 120,150 USD, described as running through November 2022) were both auto-transitioned to 'delayed' on 2026-09-15 against a 2022-11-30 date; claim 15230 fixes the facility at 26,700 square feet and claim 15220 at 1,400 mining units. The last substantive mention of Granby operations is 2019-07-31 (claim 15198). What has not been said is whether the lease ran its stated term, whether the 1,400-unit deployment was ever fully populated against the 26,700 square feet, or what replaced the site.
The Global Bit Ventures break-up fee is a second unresolved thread. The merger termination is stated flatly on 2018-06-28 (claim 15477), but claim 15461, disclosed later on 2018-08-13, attaches a 3,000,000-share break-up fee with a promised-by date of 2018-06-28 — a date already past at the time of disclosure — and that claim now sits at 'delayed'. There is no follow-up confirming the shares were issued, renegotiated, or waived, and the topic does not recur after August 2018.
The At The Market program with H.C. Wainwright has quietly gone from a signed agreement to an open-ended arrangement. Claim 15202 names the agreement itself; claims 15203 and 15206 set the program capacity at 7,472,417 USD with a 2022-07-19 termination date, and both were auto-transitioned to 'delayed' on 2026-09-15. That capacity is the same 7,472,417 USD figure carried by the shelf registration in claims 15228 and 15217, repeated unchanged across June and July 2019. Nothing on record states how much was actually drawn under the program, whether the agreement was terminated on its stated date, or whether the 3.0 percent commission (claim 15204) applied to any completed sales.
The Nasdaq compliance narrative was declared closed and then reopened without reconciliation. Claim 15438 states on 2018-08-21 that compliance was regained, following the deadline set in claims 15466, 15467 and 15468 and the 1.00 USD minimum bid deadline of 2019-04-15 in claim 15383. Yet claim 15243 records a fresh listing rule violation on 2019-05-23, with a new plan deadline in claim 15244 and a minimum equity filing deadline in claim 15196 — all now 'delayed'. Management has not explained why the August 2018 "regained" statement was followed within nine months by a renewed deficiency, nor what became of the reverse stock split authorized in claim 15332 for 2018-12-31, which was never reported as executed or withdrawn. The going-concern language in claim 15462, framed as a twelve-month runway question expiring 2019-08-13, likewise lapsed with no closing statement. It is worth noting that every 'delayed' status in this ledger was assigned by automated extraction in September 2026, not by a company announcement; in no case did the issuer itself mark the date as missed.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-22The Quebec data center is the clearest silence. Management described a 26,700 square foot Granby facility (claim 15230) under a lease running through November 30, 2022 (claims 15229 and 15219, the latter carrying a $120,150 figure), and as recently as July 31, 2019 still spoke of bitcoin mining operations at Granby (claim 15198). That is the last mention on record. Both lease-term claims have since been auto-transitioned to 'delayed' (2026-09-15) purely because the promised end date came and went without confirmation. Nothing on record says whether the lease was renewed, assigned, allowed to expire, or terminated early, whether the 1,400 units deployed there (claim 15220) were relocated or written off, or what the facility's final hosted capacity actually was against the square footage originally advertised.
Ether mining has quietly disappeared. On June 2, 2019 the company disclosed plans to mine ether (claim 15231), stated and never dated. Every subsequent operational disclosure on record — the July 1, 2019 mining operations description (claim 15221), the equipment deployment count (claim 15220), and the Granby description (claim 15198) — refers only to bitcoin. There has been no statement retiring the ether program, no explanation of why it was dropped, and no accounting of any equipment or capital committed to it. It was mentioned in one quarter's disclosures and absent from the next, with no bridging language.
The Global Bit Ventures break-up fee remains unresolved in the record. The merger termination was announced on June 28, 2018 (claim 15477), and the August 13, 2018 disclosure attached a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares with an effective date of June 28, 2018 (claim 15461). That claim now sits at 'delayed' after an automated transition on 2026-09-15, meaning no confirmation of satisfaction was ever recorded. August 13, 2018 is the last mention. Management has not said whether the three million shares were issued, renegotiated, settled in cash, or waived, and the director resignations disclosed alongside the termination (claim 15476) were likewise never revisited.
The reverse stock split and the listing-compliance sequence were both left hanging. Shareholders authorized a reverse split with a December 31, 2018 horizon (claim 15332); that claim is now 'delayed' with no follow-up disclosure that the split was effected, abandoned, or deferred. It sat directly against the Nasdaq $1.00 minimum bid price deadline of April 15, 2019 (claim 15383), which also lapsed into 'delayed' without a compliance announcement — notable because the company had been willing to announce regaining compliance the previous August (claim 15438). When a fresh listing violation appeared on May 23, 2019 (claim 15243) with a plan due July 5, 2019 (claim 15244), and a minimum equity filing due November 13, 2019 (claim 15196), none of those were tied back to the earlier remediation, and all three closed out unverified. The 2018 commitment to appoint two new independent directors by January 7, 2019 (claim 15465) is in the same position: three board appointments were made on August 21, 2018 (claims 15435, 15436, 15437), but the original undertaking was never formally closed out and still reads as delayed.
Two smaller items were disclosed once and then dropped. The $250,000 cryptocurrency patent acquisition from XpresSpa Group (claim 15218) and the accompanying 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223), both disclosed July 1, 2019, have not been mentioned since — no update on the entity's activity, no recognized proceeds, no impairment. Separately, the twelve-month cash sufficiency language was re-issued rather than reconciled: the going-concern style runway statement running to August 13, 2019 (claim 15462) was followed by a fresh twelve-month sufficiency assertion running to July 31, 2020 (claim 15197), and both lapsed into 'delayed' on 2026-09-15. The second assurance was given without any statement addressing whether the first one held.
One structural note applies to all of the above: every 'delayed' status here was assigned by automated transition in September 2026, not by a company revision. Not one of these dates was publicly reset, extended, or withdrawn by management at the time it slipped.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-21The Global Bit Ventures acquisition is the clearest instance of a subject that stopped being spoken about. It was disclosed as terminated on 2018-06-28 (claim 15477), and then on 2018-08-13 the termination was restated with a specific consideration attached — a 3,000,000-share break-up fee (claim 15461), carried against a 2018-06-28 date that the ledger has since auto-transitioned to delayed. After 2018-08-13 the transaction does not appear again in any later disclosure on record. Management has not said whether those 3,000,000 shares were ever issued, whether the obligation was renegotiated or settled in cash, or whether any residual claim from the terminated merger remains outstanding. The last word on the subject is the promise, not its discharge.
The Quebec footprint follows the same pattern at a larger scale. Between 2019-06-02 and 2019-07-31 the company described a 26,700 square foot facility (claim 15230) under a lease running to 2022-11-30 (claim 15229), restated the lease on 2019-07-01 with a $120,150 figure and the same November 2022 term (claim 15219), disclosed 1,400 mining units deployed (claim 15220), and then described active mining at the Granby site (claim 15198) together with a 24-hour security arrangement (claim 15199). Both lease-term claims have auto-transitioned to delayed. The last mention of the Quebec facility on record is 2019-07-31, and nothing since explains whether the lease was assigned, terminated early, or run to term; whether the 1,400 units remained energized; or how the stated square footage relates to whatever capacity the company operates now. A facility commitment running to late 2022 was described three times in eight weeks and then not again.
Ether mining is a smaller but sharper example. It was raised once, on 2019-06-02, as a plan (claim 15231), and never restated. There is no claim on record withdrawing it, no revised scope, and no explanation of why a second mining vertical disclosed alongside the Quebec buildout produced no subsequent milestone, capacity figure, or timeline. It was mentioned, and then it was not.
The capital-raising program has quietly aged out rather than been revised. The $7,472,417 shelf was disclosed on 2019-06-02 (claim 15228), restated on 2019-07-01 (claim 15217), and then converted on 2019-07-18 into an At The Market program with H.C. Wainwright at the same $7,472,417 figure (claims 15202, 15203), with a 3% commission (claim 15204) and a stated termination date of 2022-07-19 (claim 15206). Both the capacity claim and the termination-date claim now sit as delayed. What has not been said is how much of the $7,472,417 was actually drawn, at what average price, or whether the agreement ran to its 2022 termination or was replaced. The partnership was announced as signed; nothing on record describes it as having been used.
Two running commitments have lapsed without comment. The patent position acquired from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 on 2019-07-01 (claim 15218), together with the 30% waterfall interest in the patent special purpose entity disclosed the same day (claim 15223), has not been mentioned since — no licensing proceeds, no impairment, no statement on whether the waterfall ever paid. And the going-concern language has been asserted twice on identical terms and never closed out: a twelve-month cash runway promised on 2018-08-13 against 2019-08-13 (claim 15462), and operating cash sufficiency for a twelve-month period promised on 2019-07-31 against 2020-07-31 (claim 15197), both now delayed. Against that sits an unresolved compliance sequence — the reverse stock split authorized on 2018-12-11 for 2018-12-31 (claim 15332) and the $1.00 minimum bid price deadline of 2019-04-15 (claim 15383), both delayed, with compliance announced as regained on 2018-08-21 (claim 15438) and then a fresh listing violation disclosed on 2019-05-23 (claim 15243). The repeated regaining of compliance has been announced each time; the repeated losing of it has not been characterized as a pattern.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-21The Quebec mining footprint is the clearest case. Management described a 26,700 square foot facility in Granby with a lease running through November 2022 (claims 15229, 15230), a data center lease valued at $120,150 (claim 15219), bitcoin mining operations at the site (claim 15198), 24-hour security services (claim 15199) and outsourced financial operations management (claim 15200). The last substantive mention of the Granby arrangement is 2019-07-31. Both facility_timeline claims were moved to 'delayed' on 2026-09-15 by automated extraction, not by a company revision. There is no statement on the record explaining whether the lease ran its term, was assigned, was exited early, or what became of the 1,400 units of mining equipment said to be deployed there (claim 15220). The square footage has never been restated either upward or downward; it has simply stopped being mentioned.
Ether mining is the most complete disappearance. Claim 15231, dated 2019-06-02, records ether mining plans alongside the Quebec lease and the shelf registration. It appears once. It carries no target date, no capacity figure, and no subsequent claim in any later filing period revisits it. Its status remains 'stated' only because nothing has ever been said to retire it. Management has not announced a decision to abandon ether mining, has not cited the Ethereum network's move away from proof of work, and has not reconciled the earlier plan with the bitcoin-only framing of the operations claims that follow (claims 15221, 15459).
The patent strategy has similarly gone quiet. The company paid $250,000 to acquire cryptocurrency patents from XpresSpa Group and disclosed a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claims 15218, 15223), both on 2019-07-01. Nothing on the record reports proceeds from that waterfall, an impairment of the $250,000, or a wind-down of the special purpose entity. The 30% figure has not been revised; it has been left standing without follow-up.
The At The Market program shows the pattern the ledger is designed to catch. Claims 15202 through 15206 describe an agreement with H.C. Wainwright, a $7,472,417 capacity, a 3% commission and a stated termination date of 2022-07-19. The capacity figure matches the shelf registration recited twice (claims 15228, 15217), which suggests it was the full shelf rather than an incremental commitment. Both the capacity claim and the termination date lapsed to 'delayed' on 2026-09-15 through automated extraction. No closeout statement exists saying how much of the $7.47 million was actually drawn before the agreement ended, and the partnership claim itself (15202) uses signing language that was never followed by any ongoing-relationship disclosure.
Two older items were walked back without acknowledgment. The Global Bit Ventures merger was terminated on 2018-06-28 (claim 15477), and a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares was disclosed on 2018-08-13 with a settlement date already in the past (claim 15461); that claim is now 'delayed' and no filing confirms the shares were issued. Separately, management announced that Nasdaq listing rule compliance had been regained on 2018-08-21 (claim 15438), yet a fresh listing rule violation appears on 2019-05-23 (claim 15243) with a new compliance plan deadline (claim 15244), and the earlier deadlines for independent directors, the compliance plan, the compensation committee and the $1.00 minimum bid price (claims 15465, 15466, 15468, 15383) all sit at 'delayed' by automated transition. The reverse stock split authorized by 2018-12-31 (claim 15332) is in the same condition. In every one of these cases the status changed because a date passed, not because anyone said anything.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-21The reverse stock split is the clearest example of a promise that simply stopped being discussed. Claim 15332 records a reverse split authorization on 2018-12-11 with a promised-by date of 2018-12-31, and it sits alongside claim 15383, the Nasdaq minimum bid price deadline of 2019-04-15. Both were auto-transitioned to 'delayed' on 2026-09-15 with no intervening statement. The last time management spoke to the split was the December 2018 authorization itself; there is no later disclosure on record confirming it was executed, abandoned, or re-timed, and no explanation of how the $1.00 bid requirement was ultimately addressed. Claim 15438 had announced on 2018-08-21 that Nasdaq listing rule compliance was regained, yet claims 15243 and 15244 show a fresh violation and a new compliance plan deadline by 2019-05-23 — the recurrence was disclosed, the reason the earlier 'regained' language did not hold was not.
The Quebec facility is described in detail once and then goes quiet. Claim 15230 gives a Granby facility of 26,700 square feet, claim 15220 gives 1,400 mining units deployed, and claims 15229 and 15219 both carry a lease running through 2022-11-30 at $120,150. Claim 15198 frames Granby as a partnership-based mining operation. The last substantive mention is 2019-07-31; the two lease-term claims were auto-flipped to 'delayed' on 2026-09-15. Nothing on record states whether the lease ran to term, was renewed, was exited early, or whether the 1,400 units and 26,700 square feet were ever added to, wound down, or written off. A square-footage and unit count disclosed once and never restated is not a revision, but it functions as one.
Ether mining has vanished outright. Claim 15231, dated 2019-06-02, states plans to mine Ether. It appears in that quarter's disclosures and in no subsequent one on record, and it remains at 'stated' — never confirmed, never withdrawn. There is no statement that the Ether program was deferred, that economics changed, or that the company elected to remain bitcoin-only. The same pattern covers the patent strategy: claim 15218 records a $250,000 cryptocurrency patent acquisition from XpresSpa Group and claim 15223 a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity, both on 2019-07-01. Neither has been revisited. No licensing revenue, impairment, or dissolution of the SPE has been described.
The Global Bit Ventures termination carries an unresolved number. Claim 15477 records the merger as terminated on 2018-06-28, and claim 15461 attaches a 3,000,000-share break-up fee with the same promised-by date. That claim was auto-transitioned to 'delayed' on 2026-09-15. The last mention is the 2018-08-13 filing. Whether the shares were issued, renegotiated, or settled on other terms has not been stated, and the share count itself has never been reaffirmed at 3,000,000 in any later disclosure on record.
Finally, the financing apparatus and the runway language both lapsed without comment. The H.C. Wainwright ATM (claim 15202) was announced on 2019-07-18 with a $7,472,417 capacity (claim 15203) and a termination date of 2022-07-19 (claim 15206) — the same $7,472,417 figure appearing earlier as shelf capacity in claims 15228 and 15217, so the headline number is a ceiling that was restated rather than raised. Claims 15203 and 15206 both auto-transitioned to 'delayed'. Alongside them, the twelve-month cash sufficiency assurances in claims 15462 (to 2019-08-13) and 15197 (to 2020-07-31) also went to 'delayed' without a revision statement. Neither the amount actually drawn under the ATM, the disposition of the agreement at its 2022 termination date, nor whether the runway assurances held has been addressed.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-20The Global Bit Ventures acquisition is the clearest discontinuity. The merger and its termination are on record as claims 15477 and 15461, the latter carrying a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares with a promised date of 2018-06-28, alongside claim 15476 recording director resignations on the same day. The last time the arrangement is mentioned at all is the 2018-08-13 disclosure. Claim 15461 has since been moved to delayed, but the ledger shows that move came from automated extraction on 2026-09-15, not from a company statement. Nothing on record says whether the 3,000,000 shares were ever issued, renegotiated, or extinguished, and no disclosure connects the director departures to the terminated transaction.
Ether mining appears once and then stops. Claim 15231, dated 2019-06-02, records ether mining plans. Four weeks later, on 2019-07-01, the disclosures describe cryptocurrency mining operations generically (claim 15221) and quantify deployment specifically in bitcoin mining equipment, 1,400 units (claim 15220). The ether program is not cancelled, deferred, or reduced in any subsequent claim; it simply is not mentioned again. There is no statement explaining why a stated product direction disappeared from the next disclosure that addressed the same subject matter.
The Quebec facility is described with unusual precision and then goes quiet. Claim 15230 puts the facility at 26,700 square feet as of 2019-06-02; claims 15229 and 15219 both anchor the lease to a term running through 2022-11-30, with 15219 attaching a figure of $120,150, and claim 15198 places bitcoin mining operations at the Granby site as of 2019-07-31. Both lease-term claims now sit at delayed, again by automated transition on 2026-09-15. What has not been said is how 1,400 deployed units relate to 26,700 square feet of contracted space, or whether the lease ran its stated term. The capacity figure was never revised downward in a disclosure; it was simply not repeated.
The Nasdaq compliance narrative was declared resolved and then quietly reopened. Claim 15438, dated 2018-08-21, states that listing rule compliance was regained, following the deadline structure in claims 15466, 15467 and 15468 and the director appointments in claim 15465. Claim 15243, dated 2019-05-23, records a fresh listing rule violation, with a new compliance plan deadline of 2019-07-05 (claim 15244) and a minimum equity filing deadline of 2019-11-13 (claim 15196), all of which now read delayed. Separately, the reverse stock split authorization of 2018-12-11 (claim 15332) carried a promised date of 2018-12-31 and is likewise delayed, with no later claim describing whether it was executed, abandoned, or held in reserve. Management has never reconciled the August 2018 'compliance regained' language with the May 2019 re-violation.
Two smaller items deserve naming. The 'Interim' qualifier attached to the chief executive role in claims 16644 and 16648 on 2018-04-01 is simply absent by 2018-10-15, where claims 15384 and 15387 describe the same individual as CEO and Executive Chairman; no disclosure records the conclusion of the interim period or a search process. And the patent line of business introduced on 2019-07-01, the $250,000 acquisition from XpresSpa Group (claim 15218) and the 30 percent waterfall interest in the patent special purpose entity (claim 15223), is framed as a partnership interest and then not mentioned again, with no subsequent claim reporting proceeds, impairment, or wind-down.
One qualification applies throughout. Every status change in this ledger is stamped 'automated extraction' and dated to the September 2026 processing window; none of the transitions to delayed reflect a company-issued revision, which is itself the finding. The record available here also thins substantially after mid-2019, so the absence of later mentions should be read as an absence in the claims on hand rather than as confirmed silence across all subsequent filings.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-20A note on method before the items themselves: every status change in this ledger is stamped "automated extraction," dated 2026-09-14 through 2026-09-20. Not one of the moves from 'stated' to 'delayed' is attached to a company revision, correction, or follow-up disclosure. The deadlines did not slip because management said they would; they slipped because the archive checked and nothing had been said. The record as supplied also runs out at 2019-07-31 (claim 15197 is truncated mid-entry), so 'last mention' below means last mention within this record.
The Quebec mining facility is the clearest silent exit. Management disclosed a 26,700 square foot Granby site on 2019-06-02 (claim 15230), a lease running to 2022-11-30 (claim 15229), a $120,150 lease commitment on the same term a month later (claim 15219), and active Bitcoin mining plus 24-hour security at Granby on 2019-07-31 (claims 15198, 15199). Both lease-term claims are now carried as delayed on automated inference alone. There is no statement in the record about whether the 1,400 miners disclosed for deployment (claim 15220) were ever fully energized in that building, whether the lease ran its term, was assigned, or was terminated early, and no disclosure of any exit cost. A three-year lease obligation simply stops being discussed after its second mention.
Ether mining was announced once and then dropped. Claim 15231, dated 2019-06-02, discloses plans to mine ether. Every subsequent operational disclosure narrows: claim 15220 on 2019-07-01 is Bitcoin mining equipment, claim 15221 the same day is generic "cryptocurrency mining operations," and claim 15198 on 2019-07-31 is Bitcoin mining at Granby. The word 'ether' does not appear again. There is no statement that the ether plan was abandoned, deferred, economically reconsidered, or folded into the Bitcoin fleet. It was replaced by more general language rather than retracted.
The Global Bit Ventures break-up fee is an obligation that quietly aged into 'delayed.' The merger termination was disclosed on 2018-06-28 (claim 15477); the 3,000,000-share break-up fee attached to that termination, with a 2018-06-28 due date, appears on 2018-08-13 (claim 15461) and is now marked delayed. Nothing in the record says whether those shares were ever issued, renegotiated, settled in cash, or disputed. A share-denominated liability of that size disclosed once and never revisited is the kind of item a later filing would normally close out.
The H.C. Wainwright at-the-market program was described in detail and then left open-ended. Claims 15202 through 15206, all dated 2019-07-18, set out the agreement, a $7,472,417 capacity, a 3% sales commission, $25,000 in counsel reimbursement, and a 2022-07-19 termination date; the same $7,472,417 shelf figure appears twice earlier (claims 15228 and 15217). Both the capacity claim and the termination-date claim now sit at delayed. The record contains no subsequent disclosure of how much of that capacity was actually drawn, at what average price, or whether the agreement was terminated ahead of its stated end date — only the original headline number, repeated three times and then never reconciled.
The patent transaction is a one-appearance asset. On 2019-07-01 the company disclosed acquiring cryptocurrency patents from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223). Neither is mentioned again. There is no disclosure of any licensing revenue, enforcement activity, impairment, or write-off of the $250,000, and no update on whether the waterfall interest ever produced a distribution. Alongside a disclosed headcount of three full-time employees on the same date (claim 15222), the absence of any follow-up on a patent monetization program is itself the substantive omission.
Finally, the Nasdaq compliance narrative was declared resolved and then quietly reopened. Claim 15438 states compliance was regained on 2018-08-21. Yet the minimum bid price deadline of 2019-04-15 (claim 15383) is carried as delayed, a fresh listing rule violation appears on 2019-05-23 (claim 15243) with a compliance plan due 2019-07-05 (claim 15244, delayed), and a minimum equity filing deadline of 2019-11-13 (claim 15196) is also delayed. The 2018 director-appointment commitment due 2019-01-07 (claim 15465) remains delayed even though three directors were seated on 2018-08-21 (claims 15435, 15436, 15437). What has not been said is how the August 2018 'compliance regained' statement relates to the violations that follow it, or whether the 2018 director obligation was in fact satisfied by those appointments. The ledger never closes the loop, and neither did management.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-20The Quebec data center is the clearest disappearance. Claim 15230 put the facility at 26,700 square feet, and claims 15229 and 15219 carried a lease running through November 30, 2022 at a stated $120,150. The last time any of this appears in the record is July 1, 2019. Both timeline claims now sit at 'delayed', and in each case the transition to that status was generated by automated extraction on 2026-09-15 rather than by any company statement. Nothing on record says the lease was assigned, terminated, renegotiated, or allowed to run its course, and no later disclosure restates the square footage or the deployed equipment count of 1,400 units from claim 15220. The facility simply stops being mentioned.
Ether mining is the second. Claim 15231, dated June 2, 2019, records a plan to mine Ether alongside Bitcoin. It was stated once and never revisited. There is no claim withdrawing it, no revised timeline, and no explanation of why a second-chain strategy announced in mid-2019 does not recur in any subsequent disclosure. The claim remains at 'stated' only because nothing ever contradicted it on the record.
The patent transaction has gone quiet in a similar way. Claim 15218 records the acquisition of cryptocurrency patents from XpresSpa Group for $250,000, and claim 15223 records a 30 percent waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity. Both are dated July 1, 2019 and both are last-mentioned that day. A waterfall interest is, by construction, something that either produces proceeds or does not, and the record contains no follow-up on either outcome — no impairment, no enforcement activity, no restatement of the 30 percent figure, and no statement that the special purpose entity was wound down.
The At The Market program shows the signed-to-ongoing drift. Claim 15202 records the agreement with H.C. Wainwright in the language of execution, with a 7,472,417 dollar capacity (claim 15203) at a 3 percent commission (claim 15204) and a termination date of July 19, 2022 (claim 15206). The capacity figure is identical to the shelf registration amounts in claims 15228 and 15217 and is never revised upward or downward anywhere in the record. Claims 15203 and 15206 both auto-transitioned to 'delayed' on 2026-09-15. Nothing states how much of the program was actually drawn, whether it was replaced at expiry, or why the same 7,472,417 dollar figure persists across three separate disclosures without movement.
Two going-concern horizons also lapsed silently. Claim 15462, from August 13, 2018, carried a twelve-month cash runway to August 13, 2019; claim 15197, from July 31, 2019, carried operating cash sufficiency to July 31, 2020. Both auto-transitioned to 'delayed'. Neither has an accompanying statement confirming the runway held, was extended, or was closed out by financing. The same pattern covers the Nasdaq sequence: claim 15438 announced compliance regained on August 21, 2018, after which claim 15383 set a minimum bid price deadline of April 15, 2019, claim 15243 recorded a fresh listing rule violation on May 23, 2019, and claims 15244 and 15196 set further filing deadlines of July 5 and November 13, 2019. The regaining of compliance was stated affirmatively; every subsequent deadline moved to 'delayed' through automated extraction, with no corresponding disclosure explaining the relapse. Related and equally unresolved: claim 15332 authorized a reverse stock split by December 31, 2018 and is now 'delayed', with nothing on record saying whether the authorization was ever exercised, and claim 15461's 3,000,000-share break-up fee tied to the terminated Global Bit Ventures merger (claim 15477) has no follow-up confirming the shares were issued.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-20The Quebec footprint is the most conspicuous silence. Between June and July 2019 the company described a 26,700 square foot Granby facility (claim 15230), a data center lease running through November 2022 at a stated $120,150 (claim 15219, with the lease term separately recorded as claim 15229), and a set of operating arrangements around it: bitcoin mining operations at Granby (claim 15198), 24-hour security services (claim 15199), and third-party financial operations management (claim 15200). The last mention of any of this is 2019-07-31. Both lease-timeline claims sit at 'delayed' as of the 2026-09-15 ledger pass, which is to say the November 2022 horizon passed without the company ever stating whether the lease ran to term, was renewed, was assigned, or was exited. The three service arrangements remain at 'stated' with no termination language and no subsequent confirmation that they are ongoing. Nothing in the record explains whether the 26,700 square feet is still operating, or whether the 1,400 deployed mining units (claim 15220) are still in it.
Ether mining appeared once and then disappeared. Claim 15231, dated 2019-06-02, records plans to mine ether. There is no follow-on claim adopting it, deferring it, or abandoning it. The surrounding generic language about cryptocurrency mining operations (claims 15221 and 15459) persists, which has the effect of letting a specific commitment dissolve into a general one. No statement has been made that the ether program was shelved, and no date was ever attached to it that could lapse visibly.
The patent business went quiet without being wound down in the record. On 2019-07-01 the company disclosed acquiring cryptocurrency patents from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and retaining a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223). That is the last mention of either. For a company whose earlier identity was patent monetization, the absence of any subsequent reference to the SPE, to whether the waterfall ever paid, or to the disposition of the acquired patents is a material gap. Both claims remain at 'stated' — not withdrawn, simply never returned to.
The listing-compliance sequence was presented as resolved and then quietly was not. Claim 15438, dated 2018-08-21, states that Nasdaq listing rule compliance was regained. Yet the record shows a fresh violation on 2019-05-23 (claim 15243), a new compliance plan deadline of 2019-07-05 (claim 15244), and a minimum equity filing deadline of 2019-11-13 (claim 15196), all now 'delayed'. Running alongside them, the $1.00 minimum bid price deadline of 2019-04-15 (claim 15383) and the reverse stock split authorization targeted for 2018-12-31 (claim 15332) both auto-transitioned to 'delayed' on 2026-09-15. The authorization was the obvious remedy for the bid-price deficiency, and the record never says whether it was exercised. The earlier board-composition commitments — two new independent directors by 2019-01-07 (claim 15465), compliance plan submission by 2018-08-24 (claim 15466), the listing deadline of 2019-01-07 (claim 15467), and compensation committee compliance by 2019-06-28 (claim 15468) — carry the same unexplained 'delayed' posture, even though three director and committee appointments were announced on 2018-08-21 (claims 15435, 15436, 15437). No statement reconciles those appointments against the deadlines they were presumably meant to satisfy.
The Global Bit Ventures termination has an unclosed money question. The merger was reported terminated on 2018-06-28 (claim 15477), and the 2018-08-13 disclosure attached a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares with the same 2018-06-28 date (claim 15461). That claim is now 'delayed'. Nothing subsequently states whether the 3,000,000 shares were issued, renegotiated, or forgiven, and the figure has never been revised in any later disclosure. Relatedly, the 12-month cash runway caveat of 2018-08-13 (claim 15462) carried a 2019-08-13 horizon that simply expired into 'delayed'; a similar twelve-month sufficiency statement resurfaced on 2019-07-31 (claim 15197) without any acknowledgment that the prior one had lapsed. In every one of these cases the status change came from the 2026-09-15 automated pass rather than from the company, which is the point: the ledger moved, and management did not.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-20The Quebec data center is the clearest case of a commitment that aged out without comment. Claims 15229 and 15230 (2019-06-02) put a 26,700 square foot leased facility on the record with a term running to 2022-11-30, and claim 15219 (2019-07-01) restated the same lease at $120,150 alongside claim 15220's deployment of 1,400 mining units. The Granby operating arrangements — hosting, financial operations management and 24-hour security, claims 15198, 15199 and 15200 — were last described on 2019-07-31, and the hosting economics at $0.055/KwH appear once in claim 15153 on 2019-08-28. Both lease-term claims now sit at 'delayed' by automated transition on 2026-09-15 rather than by any company statement. Nothing in the record says whether the lease ran its term, whether the 1,400 units were ever fully energized, or whether the 26,700 square feet was later reduced; the capacity figures were never restated, upward or downward, after mid-2019.
Ether mining is mentioned once and then not again. Claim 15231 (2019-06-02) records plans to mine Ether; the adjacent product claims on either side of it, 15459 (2018-08-13) and 15221 (2019-07-01), describe cryptocurrency mining in generic terms with no Ether component. There is no subsequent claim abandoning the plan, deferring it, or explaining why the description narrowed back to bitcoin.
The patent transaction has the same shape. Claim 15218 records a $250,000 cryptocurrency patent acquisition from XpresSpa Group on 2019-07-01, and claim 15223 records a 30% waterfall interest in the patent special purpose entity as of the same date. Both remain at 'stated' and neither has been revisited. Management has not said whether the special purpose entity generated any recovery, whether the 30% interest was retained, or whether the $250,000 was written off.
The Global Bit Ventures termination was disclosed twice with different content and reconciled neither time. Claims 15477 and 15476 (2018-06-28) record the merger termination and accompanying director resignations as simple statements. Claim 15461, filed 2018-08-13, adds a share-based break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares backdated to the 2018-06-28 termination; that claim auto-transitioned to 'delayed' on 2026-09-15. Whether those 3,000,000 shares were ever issued, renegotiated or waived is not addressed anywhere in the later record, including the share-count disclosure in claim 15152.
Financing capacity was repeated three times without ever being marked as used. The shelf registration figure of $7,472,417 appears identically in claims 15228 (2019-06-02), 15217 (2019-07-01) and again as the At The Market program capacity in claim 15203 (2019-07-18), with the H.C. Wainwright agreement itself at claim 15202 and a termination date of 2022-07-19 in claim 15206. Both 15203 and 15206 auto-transitioned to 'delayed'. Set against the two going-concern claims — 15462, a twelve-month cash runway uncertainty running to 2019-08-13, and 15197, operating cash sufficiency to 2020-07-31, both likewise auto-flagged 'delayed' — no statement on record says how much of the $7.47 million was actually drawn, or on what basis the runway question was subsequently resolved. Similarly, the Nasdaq sequence closes only halfway: compliance was announced regained on 2018-08-21 (claim 15438), a fresh violation was disclosed on 2019-05-23 (claim 15243), and the minimum bid price deadline of 2019-04-15 (claim 15383), the plan submission date of 2019-07-05 (claim 15244) and the minimum equity filing date of 2019-11-13 (claim 15196) all remain at 'delayed' with no follow-up statement confirming or denying compliance.
One qualification on all of the above: the extracted record supplied here runs from 2018-06-28 to 2019-08-28, so 'stopped mentioning' means absent from the disclosures captured in this ledger rather than demonstrably absent from every filing since.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-19This review covers the ledger as supplied, which ends mid-entry at 2019-08-28 (claim 15153). Later filings may address some of the points below. Several 'delayed' flags were applied automatically on 2026-09-15 because a promised date passed without a matching confirmation, so they mark gaps in the record rather than established failures. The clearest case of a false alarm is the July 2018 promise of two new independent directors and Nasdaq compliance (claims 15465, 15466, 15467). The August 21, 2018 appointments and the stated regaining of compliance (claims 15435 through 15438) appear to answer it.
The Quebec mining facility is the most concrete disappearing item. Management described a 26,700 square foot site under lease through November 30, 2022 (claims 15229, 15230). The lease was later described as a data center lease at about $120,150 (claim 15219), and operations at the Granby facility were supported by a hosting partner (claim 15198). The last mention of the lease term is 2019-07-01. The end date has since passed and the claim now sits as delayed. The record shows no renewal, early exit, relocation of the roughly 1,400 deployed machines (claim 15220), or impairment connected to the site.
Ether mining was described as a plan on 2019-06-02 (claim 15231). It does not appear again. Four weeks later the operations description (claim 15221) and the equipment count (claim 15220) refer only to bitcoin mining. No disclosure says whether ether mining started, was tested, or was dropped.
On 2019-07-01 management disclosed a $250,000 purchase of cryptocurrency patents from XpresSpa Group (claim 15218). It also disclosed a 30 percent waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223). Neither is mentioned again in the record provided. Nothing further is disclosed about licensing income, enforcement activity, write-down, or the entity's status.
The H.C. Wainwright at-the-market program was announced on 2019-07-18 with $7,472,417 of capacity and a termination date of July 19, 2022 (claims 15202, 15203, 15206). Both dated claims have since been auto-flagged as delayed. The ledger holds no statement of how much was sold under the program, or whether it ran to term, was terminated early, or was replaced by a later facility.
The Nasdaq bid-price problem also has loose ends. Shareholders authorized a reverse split to be completed by December 31, 2018 (claim 15332), and the minimum bid deadline was April 15, 2019 (claim 15383). Both are now flagged delayed. A fresh listing-rule violation followed on 2019-05-23, along with a compliance plan due July 5, 2019 (claims 15243, 15244). A minimum-equity filing was then due November 13, 2019 (claim 15196). The post-transaction share count of about 8.7 million in August 2019 (claim 15152) fits a split having happened. However, the ledger contains no claim confirming when a split took place, at what ratio, or that bid-price and equity compliance were regained. Going-concern language (claims 15462, 15197) was likewise last updated in July 2019, with no follow-up in the record provided.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-19The Quebec mining site has not been accounted for. Across mid-2019 disclosures, management described a 26,700 square foot facility in Quebec (claim 15230), leased through November 2022 at a disclosed cost of 120,150 USD (claims 15219, 15229), with 1,400 mining units deployed (claim 15220) and third-party security and operations support at the Granby site (claims 15198, 15199, 15200). The last mention was 2019-07-31. Four weeks later, on 2019-08-28, the company announced the purchase of 6,000 Bitmain S-9 miners to be hosted elsewhere at 0.055 USD per kWh (claims 15150, 15153), and Quebec does not appear in that disclosure. Both lease-term claims are now marked delayed because the November 2022 end date passed with no confirmation on record. The company has not said whether the lease was run off, terminated early, or renewed, what became of the 1,400 machines, or how the Granby arrangements related to the new hosting deal.
The Ether mining plan appears once and does not recur. On 2019-06-02 management stated an intention to mine Ether (claim 15231), alongside a general description of cryptocurrency operations (claims 15221, 15459). In the record supplied, no later disclosure mentions Ether, and the August 2019 equipment purchase consisted entirely of SHA-256 Bitcoin miners. The plan is still recorded only as stated. There has been no statement that it was abandoned or deferred, and none explaining why.
The patent business was left without a follow-up. On 2019-07-01 the company disclosed buying cryptocurrency patents from XpresSpa Group for 250,000 USD (claim 15218) and holding a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223). These are the last references to either. The record contains no monetization results, no litigation or licensing outcomes, and no impairment or write-down, even though the 30% waterfall interest implied that proceeds were expected.
The liquidity language shifted without explanation. The August 2018 disclosures raised doubt about whether cash would last twelve months, with that window ending 2019-08-13 (claim 15462). By 2019-07-31, management was stating that operating cash would be sufficient through 2020-07-31 (claim 15197). Both are now marked delayed because neither horizon was confirmed afterward. The company has not explained what changed in the intervening year that removed the going-concern doubt, although the at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright announced on 2019-07-18 was a likely source of funding. That program had 7,472,417 USD of capacity and a 3% commission, and was set to run until 2022-07-19 (claims 15202, 15203, 15204, 15206). No disclosure on record reports how much was drawn under it or how it ended.
The Nasdaq compliance status after 2019 is unresolved. Some ledger entries flagged as delayed were in fact closed in the company's own filings. The board and committee deficiencies raised in July 2018 (claims 15465, 15466, 15467, 15468) were cured by the director appointments and the regained-compliance notice of 2018-08-21 (claims 15435, 15436, 15437, 15438). Those delayed flags should be read as ledger artifacts, not walk-backs. The later issues are different. Management set a minimum bid price cure deadline of 2019-04-15 (claim 15383) and sought authority for a reverse split by 2018-12-31 (claim 15332). A new listing violation was then disclosed on 2019-05-23, with a compliance plan due 2019-07-05 (claims 15243, 15244), and a minimum equity filing was due 2019-11-13 (claim 15196). None of these is followed by a statement that compliance was regained or that the reverse split was carried out. The break-up fee of 3,000,000 shares tied to the terminated Global Bit Ventures merger (claim 15461) likewise has no disclosed settlement. These observations cover only claims dated through 2019-08-28, which is where the supplied record ends.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-18The Quebec data center lease is the clearest open thread. In June and July 2019 management described a 26,700 square foot mining facility in Quebec, leased through November 2022 at a stated cost of $120,150 (claims 15230, 15229, 15219), and in July 2019 referred to Bitcoin mining at a Granby facility with hosting, security and financial-operations services attached (claims 15198, 15199, 15200). The last mention in this record is 31 July 2019. The November 2022 lease date has since passed, and both lease claims were automatically moved to 'delayed' on 15 September 2026. Nothing on record says whether the lease was renewed, terminated early, or replaced, or whether the 1,400 deployed machines (claim 15220) stayed at that site.
The June 2019 statement of plans to mine Ether (claim 15231) was never repeated. Later disclosures in this record describe only Bitcoin mining (claims 15220, 15198, 15153). There is no statement that the Ether plan was dropped, deferred, or tried and abandoned. It remains in 'stated' status only because no dated commitment was attached to it.
The cryptocurrency patent portfolio has also gone quiet. In July 2019 the company disclosed buying patents from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 and holding a 30 percent waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claims 15218, 15223). Neither appears again after 1 July 2019. The record contains no update on licensing income, enforcement activity, write-down, or disposal of either asset.
The Nasdaq listing sequence shows a pattern of deadlines set but not closed out. The independent-director deficiency from July 2018 was resolved: compliance was regained on 21 August 2018 (claim 15438), with Berg and Rudolph appointed (claims 15435, 15436). The later deficiencies are different. The minimum bid price deadline of 15 April 2019 (claim 15383) and the reverse split authorized for completion by 31 December 2018 (claim 15332) have no stated outcome. They were followed by a new rule violation in May 2019 (claim 15243), a compliance plan due 5 July 2019 (claim 15244), and a minimum equity filing due 13 November 2019 (claim 15196). All of these now carry automated 'delayed' status. The record does not say whether any of them were met, extended by Nasdaq, or cured another way.
The $7.47 million at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright (claims 15202, 15203, 15206) had a stated end date of 19 July 2022. It was last described on 18 July 2019 and has since been auto-marked 'delayed.' No disclosure here reports how much was sold under it, whether it was used up or terminated, or whether a successor facility replaced it. Many of the 'delayed' flags above come from an automated pass, not from anything management said, and this record runs only through late August 2019. Later filings may address some of these items, but none of that is reflected here.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-18The Quebec hosting arrangement is the clearest thread that stops. In mid-2019 management described a 26,700 square foot facility (claim 15230), Bitcoin mining at the Granby site with third-party security and financial-operations support (claims 15198, 15199, 15200), and a lease running through November 2022 at 120,150 USD (claims 15219, 15229). The last mention in the record provided is 2019-07-31. Both lease-term claims were moved to delayed on 2026-09-15 by an automated check, because the end date passed without a follow-up disclosure. That label does not mean the company said anything new. Nothing in the record says whether the lease was renewed, terminated early, or allowed to lapse, or where the 1,400 deployed units (claim 15220) went.
Ether mining appears once and does not come back. On 2019-06-02 management cited Ether mining plans (claim 15231) alongside the Quebec buildout. The claim is still marked stated, and nothing later in the record mentions Ether, a start date, hardware, or a decision to drop the plan. Its absence from the July 2019 description of operations (claim 15221), which covers Bitcoin only, is the only sign that the plan may have been set aside. The company has not said so.
The patent position has a similar gap. The 2019-07-01 disclosures describe a 250,000 USD cryptocurrency patent acquisition from XpresSpa Group (claim 15218) and a 30 percent waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223). Neither is mentioned again in the record provided. There is no later account of licensing income, enforcement, impairment, or sale, even though the waterfall structure implies proceeds that would have to be reported if any arrived.
The listing-compliance record needs to be read with care. The 2018 board-composition and committee deadlines (claims 15465, 15466, 15467, 15468) are marked delayed only because the dates have passed. The company reported regained compliance and new director appointments on 2018-08-21 (claims 15435 to 15438), so those items appear to have been resolved rather than walked back. The later items are less clear. These are the 1.00 USD minimum bid price deadline of 2019-04-15 (claim 15383), the reverse-split authorization tied to 2018-12-31 (claim 15332), the May 2019 violation and plan deadline of 2019-07-05 (claims 15243, 15244), and the minimum equity filing due 2019-11-13 (claim 15196). None has a matching statement of regained compliance in the record provided, and the last mention is 2019-07-31. Management has not said whether the reverse split was carried out under that authorization, or how the 2019 equity deficiency was resolved.
The cash-runway language follows a pattern without a stated conclusion. In August 2018 management said there was uncertainty over a twelve-month runway (claim 15462). In July 2019 it said operating cash was sufficient for twelve months (claim 15197). Both horizons have passed and both are auto-marked delayed. Between them sit the H.C. Wainwright at-the-market program of 7,472,417 USD (claims 15202, 15203) and a 2,335,000 share private placement (claim 15151). Nothing in the record says how much of the ATM capacity was used before its 2022-07-19 termination date (claim 15206), or whether the sufficiency statement depended on that financing. This record is cut off after late August 2019, so later filings may address some of these points. Within what is shown here, none of them is addressed.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-18A caution on reading the ledger first. Every 'delayed' status here was applied automatically on 2026-09-15 because a promised date passed, not because management announced a slip. Some of those dates were plainly met. The July 2018 Nasdaq board-composition deadlines (claims 15465, 15466, 15467) were answered on 2018-08-21, when the company announced new independent directors and regained compliance (claims 15435, 15436, 15437, 15438). The record supplied to us also ends in late August 2019, so 'silence' below means silence within that window.
The clearest unresolved thread is the Nasdaq minimum bid price problem. The company disclosed a $1.00 bid-price deadline of 2019-04-15 (claim 15383) and obtained shareholder authorization for a reverse stock split to be used by 2018-12-31 (claim 15332). The record contains no statement that the split was carried out by that date or that bid-price compliance was regained. Instead, a new listing-rule violation appears on 2019-05-23, with a compliance plan due 2019-07-05 (claims 15243, 15244). On 2019-07-31 a minimum-equity compliance filing was promised by 2019-11-13 (claim 15196). None of these deadlines has a follow-up in the record, and the company has not explained how the earlier bid-price deficiency was cured before the next one arose.
The patent business has faded from view. On 2019-07-01 the company described buying cryptocurrency patents from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 and holding a 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claims 15218, 15223). Neither appears again in the record. There is no update on licensing income, litigation, write-down or disposal, and no statement that the company has left the patent strategy it came from. The Ether mining plans mentioned on 2019-06-02 (claim 15231) also have no later mention. Every subsequent mining disclosure concerns bitcoin.
The Quebec facility is described in detail and then left open. Mid-2019 filings give a 26,700 square foot site in Quebec (claim 15230), a lease through November 2022 at $120,150 (claims 15219, 15229), deployment of 1,400 mining units (claim 15220), and a hosting arrangement at Granby. That arrangement included operations, security and financial-management services (claims 15198, 15199, 15200) and electricity at $0.055 per kWh (claim 15153). The last mention is August 2019. Nothing in the record says whether the lease ran to term, was renewed or was exited early, or what happened to the 1,400-unit fleet.
Two financing items were announced without any later accounting. The H.C. Wainwright at-the-market program, up to $7,472,417 and running to 2022-07-19 (claims 15202, 15203, 15206, with the matching shelf in 15217 and 15228), has no disclosure of amounts drawn or of termination. The Global Bit Ventures merger ended in June 2018 with a break-up fee described as 3,000,000 shares (claims 15461, 15477). The record never confirms whether those shares were issued or settled some other way. Management has not addressed the outcome of either.
The going-concern language also stops without resolution. In August 2018 management said it could not assure a 12-month cash runway (claim 15462). A year later it asserted sufficient operating cash through 2020-07-31 (claim 15197). The record has no statement testing that assertion against actual results, and none explaining what changed between the two positions.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-18The Quebec mining footprint is the most visible thread without an ending. In mid-2019 Marathon described a 26,700 square foot facility in Quebec (claim 15230) under a data center lease running through November 2022 at 120,150 USD (claims 15229 and 15219). It also described Bitcoin mining at the Granby site with 24-hour security and outside financial operations management (claims 15198, 15199 and 15200), and a hosting arrangement at 0.055 USD per kWh (claim 15153). The last mention in the record is 28 August 2019. Both lease claims were automatically moved to delayed on 15 September 2026 because the November 2022 date has passed with nothing on file. The record does not say whether the lease ran its full term, was renewed, was ended early, or whether the equipment was moved elsewhere.
The at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright follows a similar pattern. It was announced on 18 July 2019 with 7,472,417 USD of capacity, a 3 percent sales commission, 25,000 USD of legal expense reimbursement, and a termination date of 19 July 2022 (claims 15202, 15203, 15204, 15205 and 15206). The same capacity figure appears in the shelf registrations of June and July 2019 (claims 15228 and 15217). The record contains no later statement on how much of the program was drawn, whether it was replaced by a larger facility, or when it formally ended. Claims 15203 and 15206 were automatically marked delayed only because the 2022 date passed without any disclosure.
Two strategic initiatives from 2019 appear once and then stop. On 2 June 2019 the company referred to Ether mining plans (claim 15231). On 1 July 2019 it disclosed a cryptocurrency patent acquisition from XpresSpa Group for 250,000 USD (claim 15218), along with a 30 percent waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223). Neither thread appears again in the disclosures on file, and all three claims remain at stated with no follow-up. The record does not show whether Ether mining ever started, whether the patents were enforced, licensed, or written off, or what became of the special purpose entity interest.
The Nasdaq compliance items from late 2018 and 2019 need a careful reading. Several of the early deadlines, including the compliance plan, the independent director appointments, and the listing rule deadline (claims 15466, 15465 and 15467), were in practice resolved when the company said on 21 August 2018 that it had regained compliance (claim 15438). Their delayed status is a result of the automated sweep, not evidence of a miss. The later items are different, because the record holds no resolution for them. These are the minimum bid price deadline of 15 April 2019 (claim 15383), the reverse split authorization targeted for 31 December 2018 (claim 15332), the compliance plan due 5 July 2019 (claim 15244), and the minimum equity filing due 13 November 2019 (claim 15196). The post-transaction share count of 8,720,405 reported on 28 August 2019 (claim 15152) suggests a capital restructuring took place. However, no disclosure on file states that the bid price or equity deficiencies were cured, or when.
The going-concern language fits the same pattern. In August 2018 the company flagged uncertainty about its 12-month cash runway (claim 15462). In July 2019 it made a statement about operating cash sufficiency through July 2020 (claim 15197). Neither claim has a later update in the record, so both were moved to delayed on 15 September 2026. The record does not say whether those runway assessments held, or what funding closed the gap.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-15The ledger provided ends partway through the August 28, 2019 disclosures, so what follows describes silence within that visible record. It does not establish silence across everything Marathon has filed since. Several 2018 items now marked delayed appear to have been resolved rather than abandoned. The board appointments and listing-rule deadlines in claims 15465, 15466 and 15467 were followed by the appointments in 15435 and 15436 and by the compliance regained in 15438. The Global Bit Ventures break-up item, 15461, restates a termination already disclosed in 15477. None of these is treated as a walk-back here; their delayed status reflects the automated date sweep of 2026-09-15 and not any new fact.
The Nasdaq price and equity compliance thread has no recorded conclusion. On 2018-10-21 the company disclosed a US$1.00 minimum bid price deadline of 2019-04-15 (claim 15383). Shareholders had authorized a reverse split to be effected by 2018-12-31 (claim 15332). The record contains no statement that the split was carried out or that bid-price compliance was regained. By 2019-05-23 the company reported a fresh listing rule violation (claim 15243) with a compliance plan due 2019-07-05 (claim 15244). On 2019-07-31 it pointed to a minimum equity compliance filing due 2019-11-13 (claim 15196). That July 31 disclosure is the last mention. All four claims are now delayed, and nothing on record says whether Nasdaq accepted a plan, granted an extension, or confirmed compliance.
The Quebec facility was described on 2019-06-02 as a 26,700 square foot site under a lease running to 2022-11-30 (claims 15229 and 15230). On 2019-07-01 the lease was given a value of US$120,150 (claim 15219) and the site was said to host 1,400 bitcoin mining units (claim 15220). On 2019-07-31 it was referenced as the Granby operation with security and financial-management arrangements (claims 15198, 15199 and 15200). Four weeks later the company disclosed the purchase of 6,000 Bitmain S-9 machines (claim 15150) under a hosting arrangement priced at US$0.055 per kWh (claim 15153). That disclosure did not say where the machines would sit or whether Granby remained part of the plan. The lease claims are now delayed past their 2022 end date, and the record says nothing about renewal, early exit, or the fate of the 1,400 installed units.
Ether mining was named as a plan on 2019-06-02 (claim 15231). Less than a month later, the 2019-07-01 description of operations referred only to cryptocurrency and bitcoin equipment (claims 15220 and 15221), and the July and August disclosures are bitcoin-specific throughout. The claim still reads stated because it had no date attached, but it is not repeated anywhere after its first appearance. No disclosure explains whether the plan was dropped.
The patent business is a similar case. The acquisition of cryptocurrency patents from XpresSpa Group for US$250,000 (claim 15218) and a 30 percent waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223) were both disclosed on 2019-07-01. Neither is mentioned again in the visible record, and there is no account of monetization, write-down, or disposal.
The at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright was signed on 2019-07-18 with capacity of US$7,472,417, a 3 percent commission and a scheduled termination of 2022-07-19 (claims 15202, 15203, 15204 and 15206). It was last referenced on that date. The capacity and termination claims are now delayed. The record contains no statement of how much of the facility was drawn, whether it was replaced by a larger program, or whether it simply lapsed. The same gap applies to the going-concern language in claims 15462 and 15197. Those twelve-month runway questions were raised in 2018 and 2019, and the record has no later statement that the doubt was resolved.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-15The record supplied ends with a claim dated 2019-08-28, so what follows describes silence within that record. It does not establish silence across everything the company has published since. Several items carry a delayed status only because the ledger moved them automatically on 2026-09-15 once their dates passed without a verifying disclosure. None reflects a revision announced by management.
The Nasdaq minimum bid price deadline of 2019-04-15 (claim 15383, disclosed 2018-10-21) appears alongside a reverse stock split authorization meant to be acted on by 2018-12-31 (claim 15332, disclosed 2018-12-11). Both are now marked delayed. The record contains no statement that the split was carried out, deferred or abandoned, and nothing says whether the bid price deficiency was cured. The next listing item is a fresh rule violation on 2019-05-23 (claim 15243). That was followed by a compliance plan deadline of 2019-07-05 (claim 15244) and a minimum stockholders' equity filing due 2019-11-13 (claim 15196). Neither of these later deadlines is followed by a disclosure of acceptance, extension or delisting action. The 2018 board-related deadlines (claims 15465, 15466, 15467, 15468) appear to have been addressed by the August 2018 director appointments and the stated regaining of compliance (claims 15435 through 15438), though the ledger does not formally link them.
Ether mining plans were described on 2019-06-02 (claim 15231). Every later operational disclosure in the record refers only to Bitcoin: the 1,400-unit deployment (claim 15220), the Granby facility operations (claim 15198) and the purchase of 6,000 Bitmain S-9 miners (claim 15150). Ether does not reappear, and nothing explains whether the plan was dropped, deferred or folded into something else.
The patent business that preceded mining was last mentioned on 2019-07-01. That disclosure covered a cryptocurrency patent bought from XpresSpa Group for $250,000 (claim 15218) and a 30 percent waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (claim 15223). Both remain in stated status. No later claim addresses the value, monetization, sale or write-off of either asset.
The Quebec facility was described as 26,700 square feet under a lease running to 2022-11-30 at $120,150 (claims 15229, 15230, 15219). It was last referenced as the Granby site on 2019-07-31 (claim 15198). The lease end date has passed and the claims were moved to delayed on 2026-09-15. The record holds no disclosure of whether the lease ran to term, was renewed or was exited early. The H.C. Wainwright at-the-market program shows a similar gap. It was signed 2019-07-18 with $7,472,417 of capacity and a termination date of 2022-07-19 (claims 15202, 15203, 15206). It is now marked delayed with no statement of how much was sold under it or when it ended. The twelve-month cash sufficiency statement running to 2020-07-31 (claim 15197) has likewise gone unrevisited.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-14A caveat on the ledger first. Every claim on record for Marathon moved from automated extraction to 'stated' on the same day, 2026-09-14, and none has been auto-transitioned to 'delayed' or 'not_yet_verifiable'. The record supplied also ends in mid-November 2019. What follows are topics that stop appearing within that window, or whose stated end dates have passed without a disclosed outcome. They are not adjudicated failures.
Ether mining is the clearest disappearance. On 2019-06-02 the company described plans to mine Ether (claim 15231). No later disclosure on record returns to it. The July 2019 description of the business refers only to cryptocurrency mining operations (15221), and every hardware claim from August through November 2019 concerns Bitcoin miners (15150, 15141, 15101, 15062). The status remains 'stated'. Nothing on record says the Ether plan was abandoned, deferred, or folded into the Bitcoin strategy.
The cryptocurrency patent acquisition from XpresSpa Group appears only on 2019-07-01. That covers the $250,000 purchase (15218) and the 30% waterfall interest in a patent special purpose entity (15223). Both are presented as part of the company's position, and neither is mentioned in the later 2019 filings on record. There is no statement on whether the patent entity produced any monetization, whether the interest is still held, or how it was valued afterward. For a company that had only recently moved out of patent licensing, the silence stands out.
The Quebec mining facility lease had a firm horizon. It covered 26,700 square feet in the 2019-06-02 filing (15230), with a term running to 2022-11-30 (15229). The 2019-07-01 filing repeated that term and cited a $120,150 figure (15219). Both claims carry a promised-by date that is now nearly four years past, and both still sit at 'stated'. Later 2019 disclosures shift to describing Granby facility operations as a partnership (15198 on 2019-07-31, then 15068 on 2019-11-07). The record does not say whether the lease was renewed, terminated early, or superseded when the company's mining footprint moved elsewhere.
The H.C. Wainwright at-the-market program was announced on 2019-07-18 with capacity of $7,472,417 and a termination date of 2022-07-19 (15202, 15203, 15206). By 2019-11-11 the only reported usage was $79,817 (15061), roughly one percent of capacity. No later claim on record reports further draws, an amendment, or whether the program ran to its termination date. Separately, the 2019-07-31 guidance that operating cash would suffice for twelve months, through 2020-07-31 (15197), was never revisited in the disclosures provided.
The 6,000 Bitmain S-9 miner purchase drifted in how it was described. On 2019-08-28 it was framed as an all-stock private placement of 2,335,000 shares (15150, 15151), and that framing was repeated on 2019-10-03 (15136). By 2019-11-07 the filings instead describe a $4,086,250 equipment acquisition dated to 2019-09-30 (15071, 15062). They also describe a share issuance still pending, worth $1,852,477 and due by 2019-11-15 (15066). The record contains no confirmation that the pending shares were issued by that date, and no explanation of how the dollar value relates to the originally stated share count.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-14The Granby facility is the clearest silence in the record. On 2019-11-07 the company described three service relationships supporting its mining operations: a Granby facility operations partnership (claim 15068), 24-hour security services (claim 15069) and financial operations services (claim 15070). None of the three appears in any later disclosure on file. By 2020-07-22 the company named its partners as Cumberland DRW for cryptocurrency trading (claim 14889) and ViaBTC as its mining pool (claim 14888), and Granby was not among them. All three claims are still marked 'stated', and no transition has been recorded since extraction on 2026-09-14. The company has not said whether the Granby arrangement ended or the site was vacated, or where hosting, security and financial operations moved to.
Ether mining followed the same pattern. The 2020-03-23 disclosure described the business as mining both bitcoin and ether (claims 14980, 14984, 14983), with guidance on expanding digital asset mining (claims 14981, 14985). From July 2020 onward, every equipment, hashrate and partnership disclosure concerns bitcoin ASICs alone. The ether reference was never repeated, and it was never retracted. Those claims remain 'stated', and the company has not explained whether it ever mined ether or when the plan was dropped.
The 6,000 Bitmain S-9 miners bought from SelectGreen for about $4.09 million were a headline asset in late 2019 (claims 15071, 15062). They were restated in July and August 2020 (claims 14883, 14851), and the share issuance that funded them was due by 2019-11-15 (claim 15066). Yet the 2020-08-13 hashrate breakdown credits output only to the new S-19 Pro units at 73 PH/s (claim 14857) and the MicroBT units at 56 PH/s (claim 14856). The S-9 fleet contributes nothing in that breakdown. No completion notice for the share issuance appears in the record. The company has not said whether the S-9s were retired, sold or impaired, or whether they still operate.
The mid-2020 fleet build-out also carries unconfirmed dates and inconsistent counts. Delivery of 660 S-19 Pro miners (claims 14873, 14854) and 700 MicroBT miners (claim 14872) was promised by 2020-08-15. The MicroBT purchase had earlier been tied to a 2020-06-30 date (claim 14852). The model is given variously as M30S+, M31S+ and M305+. The second S-19 Pro tranche was described as 500 units on 2020-07-22 and 2020-08-05 (claims 14886, 14870). A week later it was 1,000 units due in the fourth quarter of 2020 (claims 14853, 14855), and that figure has no promised date on file. The fleet-wide target of roughly 240 PH/s (claims 14906, 14887, 14871) was last repeated on 2020-08-05. The installed figures reported eight days later total about 129 PH/s. None of these delivery claims has moved from 'stated'. The record contains no confirmation that the August deliveries arrived and no explanation for the change in tranche size. It also contains no statement on whether or when the 240 PH/s target was reached.
The ledger supplied ends partway through the 2020-08-13 filing, and no claim has transitioned beyond its initial extraction. These observations therefore describe gaps in what is on file, not verified reversals.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-14The delivery of 660 Bitmain S-19 Pro miners was dated to mid-August 2020 in two filings, claims 14873 (2020-08-05) and 14854 (2020-08-13). Neither filing's ledger status has moved past stated, though the 2020-08-15 date passed years ago. The 2020-08-13 filing reports S-19 Pro units already producing 73 PH/s (claim 14857), but it does not say how many of the 660 that covers. The same filing expects 1,000 more S-19 Pros in the fourth quarter of 2020 (claim 14855). None of the later disclosures on record confirms full delivery of either batch or explains any shortfall.
The fleet's headline hashrate target changed several times without an explanation of how one figure led to the next. The target was 240 PH/s in claims 14906, 14887 and 14871, last stated on 2020-08-05. Eight days later it was 294 PH/s (claim 14858). On 2020-08-17 it was replaced by a 10,500-unit Antminer order with a minimum of 1,155,000 TH/s (claims 14842, 14844) and a price of about $23.2 million (claim 14843). That delivery schedule ran through 2021-06-30 (claim 14845), a date that has also lapsed without a status change. No filing on record reconciles the three targets or says whether the earlier ones were met before being superseded.
The Granby, Quebec operation and its service providers are last mentioned on 2020-08-13. That filing names Block Maintain for mining operations, Securitas Canada for security and Compute North as hosting partner (claims 14859, 14860, 14861). The 6,000 S-9 miners bought from SelectGreen Blockchain (claims 14883, 14851) are last mentioned the same day. By 2020-10-12 the disclosures describe a new arrangement with Beowulf: an exclusive power purchase agreement, an operations and maintenance agreement, and a $14 million Phase I build (claims 14791, 14792, 14793). Those October filings do not mention Granby, the S-9 fleet or the earlier providers, and do not say whether any of them were wound down, moved or replaced.
The July 2020 disclosures list partnerships with Cumberland DRW for trading and ViaBTC as mining pool (claims 14889, 14888). Neither appears in the August or October filings on record. No statement says whether these relationships were ended, changed or simply left out.
The 2020-08-13 filing raised substantial doubt about the company's ability to fund operations (claim 14865). The same filing says Nasdaq compliance was regained as of 2020-08-06 (claim 14864), while still citing a 2020-12-17 compliance deadline (claim 14863). Neither topic comes up again in the disclosures on record. In the weeks that followed, management committed to roughly $23.2 million in miner purchases and a $14 million construction phase, but it has not said whether the going-concern doubt was resolved. Nor has it said whether Nasdaq formally confirmed compliance before the December deadline.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-14The Compute North hosting commitment carries two different completion dates, and neither has been reconciled. The binding letter of intent disclosed on 2021-05-26 set a 2022-03-31 target for hosting 73,000 miners (claims 14590, 14591, 14592). The 2021-12-05 disclosure restated the same 73,000-miner figure with a 2022-06-30 target (claim 14346), a three-month slip that was not announced as a revision. The 2022-03-09 annual disclosure then went back to the original 2022-03-31 date (claims 14284, 14311) and restated the capacity (claim 14287), three weeks before that date. The ledger has no later mention of the arrangement. Both target dates are years past, every related claim still sits at 'stated', and nothing on record says whether the 73,000 machines were ever energized, how many were, or which timeline management considered authoritative.
The Marathon Compute North 1 LLC joint venture was described on 2021-12-05 as an 82 percent Marathon-owned vehicle hosting 30,000 S19 miners (claims 14347, 14348). It does not appear in the 2022-03-09 records, which discuss the broader Compute North hosting terms (claim 14289) and the related $67 million and $14 million commitments (claims 14311, 14283) but not the joint venture. Its last mention in the ledger is the December 2021 disclosure. Nothing on record says whether the entity was formed, funded, merged into the general hosting agreement, or dropped.
The Bitmain purchase contracts dated from August 2020 to July 2021 were listed together on 2022-03-09 with delivery dates of 2021-06-30, 2021-03-31, 2021-09-30, 2022-01-31 and 2022-06-30 (claims 14340, 14341, 14342, 14343, 14344, and the related schedule in claims 14522 and 14523). Several of those dates had already passed when the filing was made. The records do not confirm delivery, report shortfalls, or give a revised schedule. The largest order, $167.8 million due by 2022-01-31 (claim 14343), was listed as still outstanding more than a month after its deadline. The ledger has no later update on any of these contracts.
The Hardin, Montana power station work appears three times in the 2022-03-09 disclosure. One entry carries a 2022-12-31 target for maintenance (claim 14285), and the system upgrades entries have no date (claims 14310, 14339). That quarter is the last mention. The ledger does not show whether the work was finished, what it did to hashrate at the time (claim 14286, 240 PH/s), or whether the site stayed on the planned schedule.
Two matters opened in the same period have no follow-up on record. The Silvergate Bank revolving credit facility had a 2022-10-01 maturity (claims 14440, 14280), and no renewal, repayment or termination has been disclosed, even though the agreement provided a renewal fee (claim 14443). The SEC investigation and subpoena disclosed on 2022-03-09 (claim 14292) has no later status, resolution or explanation on record. Every claim for this company moved from automated extraction to 'stated' in a single pass dated 2026-09-14, so none of these commitments has yet been checked against a later disclosure.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-14The record supplied here stops at disclosures dated 2022-03-09, and the ledger excerpt itself is cut off. Every claim still carries the status 'stated', with its only transition logged on 2026-09-14. No claim has moved to 'delayed' or 'not_yet_verifiable'. The gaps below are therefore gaps of silence: commitments with dates that have long passed and no follow-up on record. The ledger has not flagged any of them as slipped.
The Compute North hosting build-out is the largest of these. On 2021-12-05 management described hosting for 73,000 S19 miners by 2022-06-30 (claim 14346). That included 30,000 miners through Marathon Compute North 1 LLC, a joint venture in which Marathon held 82 percent (claims 14347, 14348). The 2022-03-09 disclosures repeated the 73,000-miner figure but gave an earlier date of 2022-03-31 (claim 14332). They framed the arrangement as a binding letter of intent worth $67 million (claim 14331), with a $14.6 million initial deposit (claim 14333) and per-machine hosting terms (claim 14289). March 2022 is the last mention. Nothing on record confirms that the capacity was energized or that the letter of intent became a definitive agreement. Nothing explains the two different target dates, and nothing says what happened to the deposit or to the joint venture.
The Bitmain S-19j Pro order was for 30,000 units at $126 million, with delivery by 2022-06-30. It first appeared on 2021-08-03 (claims 14522, 14523) and was restated on 2022-03-09 (claims 14302, 14317). The earlier order of 70,000 S-19 units at about $167.8 million was due by 2022-01-31 (claim 14301). That deadline had already passed when the March 2022 filing repeated it, and the filing did not confirm delivery. Neither order appears again. The record contains no statement of units received, units still outstanding, or any renegotiation of the delivery schedule.
The Silvergate Bank revolving credit facility was a $100 million line maturing 2022-10-01 (claim 14440). It came with liquidity, debt-to-equity and loan-to-value covenants and a renewal fee (claims 14443 through 14446). Within six weeks of signing, management disclosed an amendment and waiver (claim 14399) without describing on record what was waived. The facility was last referenced on 2022-03-09 (claims 14298, 14326). The maturity date has passed with no renewal, repayment or termination on record, and no update on covenant compliance.
The SEC investigation and subpoena concerning the Hardin, Montana facility was disclosed on 2022-03-09 (claims 14292, 14324, 14338). Management referred to maintenance and upgrades at the same site in the same filing (claim 14318). That is the only mention. The record gives no indication of whether the matter was closed, settled or remains open.
The 1.00 percent Convertible Senior Notes are now close to maturity. They total $650 million plus a $97.5 million option (claims 14387, 14388, 14369). The 2021-11-17 disclosure gave the maturity as 2026-12-01 (claim 14387), while the 2022-03-09 entries list 2026-11-18 or 2026-11-23 (claims 14299, 14300, 14313, 14327, 14328). That leaves less than three months. Nothing on record reconciles the dates or says how much principal remains outstanding after any conversions or repurchases. Management has also not stated on record how it intends to meet the maturity.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-14The Hardin, Montana plan has dropped out of the record entirely. On 2022-04-04 management described a 110 MW Hardin data center (claim 14094), committed to terminating the Hardin facility agreements by 2022-08-15 (claim 14095), to redeploying the Hardin miners to renewable facilities by 2022-09-30 (claim 14096), and to a carbon-neutral mandate by the end of 2022 (claim 14097). Those four claims were never mentioned again in any later disclosure on record, and all four still sit at status stated even though every deadline passed years ago. Nothing on record says whether the agreements were terminated, where the Hardin miners went, or whether carbon neutrality was achieved, deferred or dropped.
The 2023 hashrate target of 23 EH/s by 2023-09-30 was stated three times in the 2023-03-15 disclosure (claims 13067, 13075 and 13088). It has no later mention on record. The ledger moved all three claims to delayed automatically on 2026-09-14 because the date lapsed, not because management revised them. No statement on record gives the hashrate actually reached by that date or explains a shortfall.
The site-level buildout behind that target has gone equally quiet. The same 2023-03-15 filing promised 10,400 air-cooled rigs at Jamestown, North Dakota by 2023-03-31 (claim 13081). It promised 57,000 rigs at Ellendale, North Dakota, but gave two different completion dates, 2023-03-31 in claim 13070 and 2023-06-30 in claim 13080. It also promised a 19 MW immersion-cooling expansion at Garden City, Texas (claims 13069 and 13079) and 4,000 rigs at McCamey, Texas (claims 13068 and 13078), both by 2023-12-31. None of these sites reappears in a later claim, and all were auto-transitioned to delayed on 2026-09-14. The record contains no deployment counts, no revised dates, and no explanation of the conflicting Ellendale deadlines.
On 2023-02-27 management disclosed an SEC comment letter on accounting matters (claim 13318) and a restatement of its financial statements (claim 13320). In the same disclosure it said the 2022 Form 10-K was expected by 2023-03-16 (claim 13319). No later claim confirms when the 10-K was filed or what the restatement ultimately covered. Claim 13319 was auto-transitioned to delayed on 2026-09-14, and nothing on record closes out the comment letter.
The Chief Accounting Officer role changed hands without any disclosed transition. Simeon Salzman was named CAO on 2022-04-04 (claim 14085), with a salary increase to $275,000 (claim 14086). He was reaffirmed on 2022-04-28 (claim 13963) and received a 25,000-unit RSU grant on 2022-09-01 and 2022-09-11 (claims 13708 and 13670). The next mention of the role, on 2023-03-15, names John Lee as CAO with a date of 2022-11-21 (claim 13062). The record contains no statement of Salzman's departure, its reason, or what happened to his unvested RSUs, which were scheduled to vest through 2026-04-01.
The ledger supplied for this review is cut off partway through claim 12983. Any later disclosure that addresses these items is not reflected here.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-14The most prominent walked-back figure is the 23 EH/s operational hashrate target. Management gave it by 2023-09-30, and it appears four times in the 2023-03-15 disclosures (claims 12955, 12971, 12979, 13057). That date is the last mention on record. All four claims moved automatically from stated to delayed on 2026-09-14 because the deadline passed with no verifying disclosure. The record contains no statement that the target was reached, revised or withdrawn, and no later hashrate figure that would replace it.
The Ellendale, North Dakota site underpins much of that target, and it follows the same pattern. On 2023-03-15 the company said energization would come by 2023-03-31 (claim 12960) and that 57,000 mining rigs would be deployed and energized by 2023-06-30 (claims 12959, 13050). Both dates have passed, and all three claims are now delayed. The record does not say whether the site was energized on a later date, whether the 57,000-unit figure still holds, or what caused any slippage. The broader aim of energizing a 200,000-unit fleet (claim 12956) was never given a date, so it cannot be tested.
The Jamestown, North Dakota deployments were also last described on 2023-03-15. They comprised 10,400 air-cooled units by 2023-03-31 (claim 12961) and 768 immersion-cooled units by 2023-06-30, which appears in the record twice (claims 12962, 13052). All three claims are now delayed. Nothing on record confirms that these units went into service, reports a smaller count, or says the immersion pilot was dropped.
Following a financial restatement (claim 13320) and an SEC comment letter on accounting matters (claim 13318), the company said on 2023-02-27 that it expected to file its 2022 Form 10-K by 2023-03-16 (claim 13319). That claim has since moved to delayed. The ledger holds no later disclosure giving the actual filing date or explaining how long the delay lasted, and it does not say how the SEC comments were resolved.
The Abu Dhabi joint venture has not slipped, but it has gone quiet. On 2023-03-15 the company described a 250 MW facility (claim 13064), an $81.2 million capital contribution (claim 12974) and an operational timeline with no date attached (claim 12975). All three remain in stated status, and the record shows no later update on energization, the contribution schedule or the venture's output. One limit applies to this and every finding above: the supplied ledger ends partway through the 2023-03-15 entries. Silence here means only that no follow-up appears in the material provided, not that none was ever made.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-14The ledger supplied here ends partway through the March 15, 2023 disclosures, so later filings may address some of what follows. Every 'delayed' status below was assigned by automated transition on 2026-09-14 because a promised date passed with no verifying disclosure on file. That status does not show the milestone was missed. It shows only that nothing on record confirms it or revises it.
The clearest case is the 23 EH/s operational hashrate target, promised by September 30, 2023. It appears four separate times in the March 15, 2023 disclosures (claims 12955, 12971, 12979 and 13057), which makes it the most repeated forward-looking figure in the record. That is also its last appearance. All four are now marked delayed. The record contains no statement that the target was reached, and no revision of the figure or the date.
The site buildouts behind that target follow the same pattern. Ellendale, North Dakota was to have 57,000 rigs deployed and energized by June 30, 2023 (claims 12959 and 13050). Garden City, Texas was to add 19 MW of immersion cooling and McCamey, Texas 4,000 additional rigs, both by December 31, 2023 (claims 12981 and 12980). All are now delayed. The same Garden City and McCamey commitments also appear in undated form (claims 12958, 12957, 13049 and 13048), and the broader goal of energizing a 200,000-unit fleet (claim 12956) never carried a date at all. These undated versions remain 'stated' only because nothing was ever pinned to a deadline. No site-level update explaining deployment progress appears after March 15, 2023.
The Abu Dhabi joint venture with FS Innovation was presented on March 15, 2023 as a $406 million digital asset mining partnership targeted for December 31, 2023 (claim 13056). It carried an $81.2 million capital contribution (claim 12974) and an operational timeline with no date attached (claim 12975). The dated claim is now delayed. The record does not say whether the facility became operational, whether the contribution was fully funded, or whether the structure or timing changed.
At Jamestown, North Dakota, a 10,400-unit air-cooled expansion was promised by March 31, 2023, only two weeks after the disclosure that announced it (claim 13097). It is now delayed. The same disclosure noted an immersion contract at Jamestown expiring August 1, 2026 (claim 13099). That date has passed with nothing on file about renewal, replacement or exit from the site.
Finally, on February 27, 2023 the company disclosed an SEC comment letter on accounting matters (claim 13318) and a restatement of financial statements (claim 13320). At the same time it said the 2022 Form 10-K was expected by March 16, 2023 (claim 13319). That claim is now delayed. The record shows no filing confirmation and no subsequent word on how the comment letter was resolved or on the final scope of the restatement.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-14The Abu Dhabi mining joint venture with FS Innovation is the most substantial commitment in the record that has gone quiet. On 2023-03-15 management described a venture in Abu Dhabi Global Markets (claims 12951, 12972) with 250 MW of initial capacity (12952, 12973), a capital commitment recorded at $81.2 million (12977), capital contributions (12953, recorded at $406,000, a figure that does not reconcile with the larger commitment), and operations beginning by 2023-12-31 (12954, 13076). That date is the last mention on record. The formation and commencement claims were moved to delayed on 2026-09-14 by our own date check, not by any company statement. No later disclosure confirms that the venture was funded, that the 250 MW came online, or that the scope or timetable changed. The gap between the two capital figures has also never been addressed.
The Ellendale, North Dakota site was presented on 2023-03-15 as the location where roughly 57,000 units would be deployed and energized, starting in the first quarter of 2023 (claims 12960, 12982, 12967). That was the largest single deployment in the fleet plan, and it has no later mention on record. The dated claims are now marked delayed. Nothing has been said about whether energization happened, how many units were placed there, or whether the Compute North bankruptcy, which appears in the same disclosure as a $40 million unsecured claim (12985), affected the site.
The Jamestown, North Dakota expansion followed the same pattern. In the 2023-03-15 disclosures, 10,400 air-cooled units were expected by 2023-03-31 (12961, 13097, 13051, 12968) and 768 immersion-cooled units by 2023-06-30 (12962, 13082, 12984, 12969). Both targets now read as delayed, with no deployment confirmation or revised count in any later claim. A related claim gave the Jamestown immersion contract an expiration of 2026-08-01 (13099). That date has now passed without any disclosure on record about renewal, extension, or exit. Together with the unscheduled 200,000-unit full-fleet energization target (12956), these site figures made up the capacity story told in March 2023, and none has been updated since.
On 2023-02-27 management said the 2022 Form 10-K would be filed by 2023-03-16 (claim 13319). The same disclosure described a restatement of financial statements (13320) and an SEC comment letter on accounting matters (13318). The filing date is now marked delayed. No claim on record confirms when the 10-K was filed, how far the restatement reached, or whether the SEC comment letter was resolved.
One caveat applies to all of the above. The ledger supplied here ends partway through the 2023-03-15 disclosures, and every delayed status reflects an automated date check run on 2026-09-14. Later filings not included in this extract may resolve some of these items. Within the record as provided, though, none of them has been revisited.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-14The most prominent commitment on record is the target of 23 EH/s of operational hashrate by the third quarter of 2023. It appears repeatedly in the March 15, 2023 disclosures (claims 12955, 12971, 12979, 13057, 13067, 13075, 13088), all with a September 30, 2023 deadline. None of these claims has a later mention in the record reviewed. All were moved to delayed on September 14, 2026 by automated deadline tracking, not by any company statement. The record contains no announcement that the target was met, revised or withdrawn, and no reconciliation of the 23 EH/s figure against later reported hashrate.
The Ellendale, North Dakota deployment of 57,000 mining rigs was described in the same March 15, 2023 filings with two different completion dates. Claim 13070 gives March 31, 2023. Claims 12959, 13050 and 13080 give June 30, 2023. That is the last mention on record, and all four claims are now marked delayed by automated transition. The company has not explained which date was operative or why the window moved within a single disclosure. It has also not confirmed on record that the 57,000 units were energized. This deployment accounted for a large share of the stated full-fleet energization goal of 200,000 units (claim 12956), which has no later update either.
The Texas expansions depended on regulatory steps that the record never closes out. Garden City's 19 MW immersion-cooling expansion carried a December 31, 2023 target (claims 12981, 13069, 13079). Other versions of the same project appear with no date at all (claims 12958, 13049). The March 2023 disclosures also said regulatory approval at Garden City was pending (claims 13060, 13091). The 4,000-unit McCamey deployment was likewise targeted for year-end 2023 (claims 12980, 13068, 13078). Undated versions of McCamey appear as well (claims 12957, 13048, 13089). Every dated version is now delayed, and none was last mentioned after March 15, 2023. The company has said nothing on record about whether the Garden City approval was granted, denied or abandoned. It has also not said whether either site reached the stated capacity.
Jamestown, North Dakota carries two unresolved items. An air-cooled expansion of 10,400 units was due by March 31, 2023 (claims 12983, 13081, 13097). That date was barely two weeks after the disclosure, and there is no subsequent confirmation of completion. The immersion hosting contract at the site was disclosed as expiring on August 1, 2026 (claim 13099). That date has now passed, and the claim auto-transitioned to delayed on September 14, 2026. The record contains no statement on renewal, extension or exit, and nothing on what happened to the equipment hosted there. Separately, the planned exit from Coshocton, Ohio by June 1, 2023 (claim 13101) has no confirmation on record that it took place.
The Abu Dhabi joint venture was presented in March 2023 as a 250 MW mining facility (claim 13086) backed by an $81.2 million capital contribution (claim 12974). It was accompanied by references to an operational commencement timeline (claims 12975, 13087) that never included a date. These claims remain in stated status only because no deadline was ever attached, so the ledger has nothing to measure against. The record reviewed has no later disclosure on energized capacity, the size of the contribution actually made, or whether the full 250 MW was built. The absence of a date is itself the notable feature: the project cannot slip on paper, and management has not supplied a milestone that would show whether it has.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-14The Abu Dhabi mining joint venture with FS Innovation is the most prominent commitment on the record that is not followed up. It was described in March 2023 as a 250 MW facility with a 20 percent Marathon stake (claims 12951, 12972, 13063, 13084, 12952, 13064, 13077). Within that same set of disclosures, the operational target appears as both July 1, 2023 (claim 13065) and December 31, 2023 (claims 13058, 13076). The capital commitment is recorded as $81.2 million in some entries (claims 12977, 13066, 13074) and 406,000 in others, with the units inconsistent (claims 12953, 13056, 13085). The last mention on this record is March 15, 2023. Both target dates have passed, but every claim remains at 'stated', and none has been moved to delayed or verified. Nothing on record says whether the facility reached 250 MW, which of the two timelines applied, or what Marathon actually contributed.
The North Dakota deployments carried firm quarter-end dates that are not revisited. Ellendale was to begin energizing 57,000 units by March 31, 2023 (claims 12960, 12982), with deployment complete by June 30, 2023 (claim 12959). Jamestown was to add 10,400 air-cooled units by March 31, 2023 (claims 12961, 13051, 13071) and 768 immersion units by June 30, 2023 (claims 12962, 12984, 13052, 13072, 13082). All of these were last mentioned on March 15, 2023, and all still sit at 'stated'. The record contains no completion confirmation, no revised unit count, and no acknowledgement that any of these dates slipped.
The planned exit from Coshocton, Ohio, due by June 30, 2023 (claim 13053), and the 1,300-unit Kearney, Nebraska expansion, due by December 31, 2023 (claims 12963, 12970, 13054, 13073), were last mentioned on the same March 15, 2023 date. There is no later disclosure confirming the exit or reporting installed units at Kearney. The $40 million unsecured claim in the Compute North bankruptcy (claim 12985) is likewise raised once and never followed. Nothing on record says what was recovered or whether the claim was written off.
The accounting matters from February 2023 are also left unresolved. These include the SEC comment letter, the restatement of financial statements, and the 10-K filing expected by March 16, 2023 (claims 13318, 13320, 13319). No subsequent entry states what the restatement covered or confirms that the filing was made on time.
This reading depends on the ledger as supplied. It ends partway through claim 13094, contains no entries dated after March 2023, and shows no transitions beyond initial extraction. The silences described here may partly reflect gaps in coverage rather than omissions by management, and each item should be checked against later filings before publication.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-13The Abu Dhabi mining joint venture with FS Innovation is the most detailed forward-looking commitment in the record, and nothing follows it. The March 15, 2023 annual report described a 250 MW facility (claims 12952, 12973, 13064), a 20 percent Marathon stake (13063), an $81.2 million Marathon capital contribution toward roughly $406 million in total (12974, 12977, 13056, 12953), and operations beginning by July 1, 2023 (12978, 13065). Elsewhere in the same filing, the timeline appears as year-end 2023 (13058). No later claim on record confirms energization, restates the capacity or reports how much capital was actually contributed. Every one of these claims is still marked stated as of September 13, 2026. The record does not show whether the July or December date was met or which of the two management considered binding.
The guidance to reach 23 EH/s of operational hashrate by the end of the third quarter of 2023 (12955, 12971, 12979, 13057) was last mentioned on March 15, 2023. It was tied to energizing a fleet of about 200,000 units (12956). No subsequent disclosure on record reports the hashrate achieved at that date or revises the target. The claims remain at stated nearly three years after the deadline. Management has not said on record whether the figure was reached, missed or superseded.
The Ellendale, North Dakota deployment of about 57,000 units at the Applied Digital hosted site was last mentioned on March 15, 2023 (12967, 12982, 13050, 13055). The same filing gave two start dates, the end of the first quarter in 12982 and the end of the second quarter in 13050, and never reconciled them. Smaller commitments from that filing were also left without follow-up. These include the Jamestown air-cooled and immersion deployments (12983, 12984, 13051, 13052), 4,000 additional rigs at McCamey, Texas (12957, 12965, 13048), the 19 MW immersion expansion at Garden City, Texas (12958, 12966, 13049) and the exit from Coshocton, Ohio by June 30, 2023 (13053). No completion, slippage or cancellation is recorded for any of them.
The Jamestown immersion hosting contract was disclosed with an expiration of August 1, 2026 (13099). That date passed about six weeks ago. The ledger contains no claim about renewal, extension, relocation of the machines or wind-down of the site, and the item is still classified as stated. Nothing has been said on record about what happened to the Jamestown capacity after that date.
The $40 million unsecured claim in the Compute North bankruptcy (12985) was last referenced on March 15, 2023. No later disclosure on record addresses a recovery, a settlement or a write-off.
These observations rest only on the claims visible in the supplied ledger, which ends partway through claim 12959. All visible claims were moved from automated extraction to stated on September 13, 2026, and none has yet been evaluated as delayed, not yet verifiable or verified. The ledger may not reflect later filings.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-13The ledger supplied for Marathon Digital ends partway through the 2023-06-22 filing. Every claim carries the same single transition, automated extraction to stated, logged on 2026-09-13. None has been moved to delayed or not_yet_verifiable, so no slip has been formally recorded. The observations below are limited to what these records show and what they leave unexplained.
The Abu Dhabi bitcoin mining joint venture appears once, in the 2023-05-09 disclosure (claim 12646). It has no amount, partner name, capacity figure or target date, and no later claim in the visible record refers back to it. Its status remains stated. Nothing on file says whether the venture was capitalized, what hashrate it was meant to deliver, or when operations were expected to begin.
The Auradine relationship was described in some detail on 2023-04-27. It included a $30 million investment dated to 2022-09-23 (claim 12686), a further incremental $30 million (claim 12691), a board seat for Fred Thiel (claim 12687), and executive and board representation more broadly (claim 12692). That filing is the last mention in this record. It is not clear whether the two $30 million figures are one commitment or two, and no later filing resolves it. Nothing addresses the carrying value of the stake or whether the board representation continued.
The chief financial officer role changed without an explanation on file. The 2023-04-27 disclosure lists Hugh Gallagher as CFO, effective 2022-03-31, at $475,000 (claims 12683 and 12694). By 2023-06-05, Salman Khan is being appointed CFO effective 2023-06-14 at the same base salary (claims 12456, 12480, 12489 and 12535). No claim in the ledger records Gallagher's departure, its timing, or whether it was voluntary.
The terms of Khan's equity award are recorded inconsistently across filings from the same fortnight. The 297,247-unit grant is tied to a 2027-07-01 end date in claims 12483, 12493 and 12519, but to 2024-07-01 in claims 12459 and 12539. Adam Swick's award is similarly recorded as 166,817 units in claim 12522 and as 212,817 units in claim 12429. Both could be extraction artifacts or different tranches rather than revisions. Nothing on file reconciles the figures.
Several vesting dates have already passed without any recorded confirmation. John Lee's 40,000-unit tranche was due by 2023-12-31 (claim 12435). Thiel's 500,000-unit schedule points to 2024-04-26 (claims 12426 and 12524), and Khan's first tranche to 2024-07-01 (claim 12433). All three remain simply stated. The $14.25 million Series A preferred placement of 2023-06-08 (claims 12486 and 12532) carried a $14.52 conversion price and $1,050 per-share redemption rights (claims 12487 and 12488). The visible record does not say whether those shares were converted, redeemed or remain outstanding.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-13The Abu Dhabi bitcoin mining joint venture is the only partnership on record for Marathon Digital, and it appears exactly once, in a disclosure dated 2023-05-09 (claim 12646). The ledger holds no later claim about the venture's capitalization, energized capacity, hashrate contribution, or operating status. Its status remains 'stated', a classification the ledger assigned only on 2026-09-13, so it has never been checked against later filings. In this record the venture has not been described as operational, expanded, restructured, or wound down. What is missing is any statement of whether it delivered what the 2023 announcement implied.
The equity award for Chief Growth Officer Adam Swick changes size between filings without explanation. A 2023-06-12 disclosure records 166,817 RSUs vesting through 2027-03-01 (claim 12522). Ten days later, on 2023-06-22, the figure is 212,817 RSUs (claim 12429), and the 2023-08-27 disclosure repeats 212,817 but gives a 2023-09-30 date (claim 12225). The first tranche of 41,704 units is dated 2024-03-01 (claims 12436, 12220). None of these claims says why the award grew by 46,000 units or which date governs. The last mention in this record is August 2023, and all related claims remain 'stated'.
A series of dated executive vesting milestones has passed with no confirming disclosure in the ledger. These include Chief Accounting Officer John Lee's 40,000-unit tranche due 2023-12-31 (claims 12435, 12218), COO James Crawford's 37,500-unit tranche due 2024-04-01 (claims 12434, 12217), CEO Fred Thiel's 500,000-unit schedule dated 2024-04-26 (claims 12524, 12426), and CFO Salman Khan's 74,312-unit first tranche due 2024-07-01 (claims 12433, 12219). The CFO grant is also recorded against two different end dates, 2024-07-01 (claims 12539, 12459, 12223) and 2027-07-01 (claims 12493, 12483, 12519, 12424), which is consistent with a four-year schedule but is never reconciled in a single statement. All of these dates are now more than two years past. Every one is still 'stated' rather than fulfilled, delayed, or not yet verifiable. The ledger contains no disclosure that the tranches vested, were forfeited, or were modified.
The $14.25 million Series A Preferred private placement dated 2023-06-08 (claims 12486, 12532) came with a $14.52 conversion price (claim 12487), $1,050 redemption rights (claim 12488), and a filed Certificate of Designation (claim 12533). After that date the ledger contains no claim about conversion, redemption, dividends, or the instrument remaining outstanding. What has not been said is how the preferred shares were ultimately settled.
The claim list supplied for this review ends partway through a 2023-11-12 entry. Some of these topics may be addressed in later disclosures that were not included. Every transition in the ledger shown is dated 2026-09-13, so none of these items has yet been reclassified to reflect missed dates.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-13The $15 million Expansion Payment earn-out attached to the GC Data Center Equity Holdings acquisition (claim 6402), and the related earn-out tied to ERCOT approval for the Granbury, Texas expansion (claim 6403), were disclosed on 2023-12-18 and have not been referenced since. The acquisition itself resurfaced on 2024-01-15 at closing (claim 6379) and again on 2024-05-08, when its value was restated at $183.8 million (claim 6206) against the $178.65 million first disclosed (claim 6401). Neither later disclosure says whether the ERCOT approval was obtained, whether the capacity additions were delivered, or whether any portion of the earn-out was paid or forfeited. Both claims still carry the original stated status, and no statement has explained the roughly $5 million change in the headline acquisition figure.
The 15,000,000-share increase to the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (claim 5962) was disclosed on 2024-06-19 with a target of 2024-06-27. On 2026-09-04 the ledger moved it to delayed, because nothing on record confirms that shareholders approved it or that the shares were registered. An earlier authorization increase was described as approved on 2023-11-12 (claim 6539), so there is precedent for the company reporting these outcomes. For the June 2024 request, it has not said whether the vote passed, failed, or was withdrawn.
The November 2024 convertible notes financing came with two stated uses of proceeds. The first was repurchasing existing notes due 2026, sized at $199 million on 2024-11-18 (claim 5425) and $212 million on 2024-11-20 (claim 5400). The second was acquiring additional bitcoin (claims 5426 and 5401). The offering itself is documented as completed at $1 billion (claim 5398). That resolves the pricing item, claim 5422, which still shows as delayed only because the automated check did not reconcile it. Neither use of proceeds has a follow-up in the record. Nothing on record gives the principal of 2026 notes actually retired, the price paid, or the amount of bitcoin bought with the proceeds.
The FY2024 base salaries for Fred Thiel, Salman Khan, James Crawford, Adam Swick, Ashu Swami and John Lee (claims 6300 through 6305) were disclosed on 2024-02-01 with an effective date of 2024-01-01. All six moved to delayed on 2026-09-04. The effective date came before the disclosure, so the flag may partly be a timing artifact. Still, no later disclosure on record confirms that these amounts were paid as set or revised them for FY2025. The same gap applies to the RSU vesting schedules from 2023-08-27 (claims 12217 through 12226), whose milestone dates have all passed without any vesting confirmation.
The ledger supplied for this review ends partway through the claim list. Later disclosures not shown here may address some of these items, and each should be checked against the full record before publication.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-13The most striking unreported shift concerns six executives' fiscal 2024 base salaries (claims 6300-6305), originally promised to commence January 1, 2024 and last mentioned in the February 1, 2024 filing. As of September 4, 2026, these remain in delayed status—nearly two and a half years past the promised date—with no revision announcement, no explanation filed, and no word on when or whether the adjustment will occur. The affected executives are Fred Thiel, Salman Khan, James Crawford, Adam Swick, Ashu Swami, and John Lee.
The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan share authorization increase of 15 million shares (claim 5962) was promised by June 27, 2024, last mentioned June 19, 2024, and has transitioned to delayed status by September 4, 2026, without any accompanying disclosure clarifying the slip or offering a revised timeline. Management has not addressed the lapse publicly.
The GC Data Center Equity Holdings acquisition exhibits a price shift that appears to have escaped transparent disclosure. An initial December 18, 2023 filing (claim 6401) valued the transaction at $178.65 million with a promised closure of January 15, 2024 (claim 6379). A May 8, 2024 filing (claim 6206) re-disclosed the same acquisition at $183.8 million—a five million dollar increase—with no interim announcement explaining the adjustment or any renegotiation that prompted it.
Two convertible notes offerings announced in November and December 2024 (claims 5422, 5342) slipped their promised closing dates of November 20 and December 4 respectively, both marked delayed as of early September 2026. While subsequent claims indicate the offerings eventually closed in late 2024 (claims 5307, 5398, 5308), the company did not formally extend guidance or announce the delay, allowing the original timelines to lapse without revision statements.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-13Marathon Digital disclosed in February 2024 that it would establish fiscal 2024 base salary levels for six senior executives including CEO Fred Thiel ($950,000), COO Salman Khan ($625,000), CFO James Crawford ($350,000), COO Adam Swick ($350,000), General Counsel Ashu Swami ($350,000), and Chief Accounting Officer John Lee ($325,000), with those determinations promised to be finalized by January 1, 2024 (claims 6300–6305). As of September 2026, nearly two and a half years later, these salary determinations remain unresolved in a delayed state. No subsequent disclosure has provided an updated timeline or explanation for the delay, nor has management publicly acknowledged that these fundamental compensation decisions remain outstanding.
The company disclosed in June 2024 its plan to increase authorized shares under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan by 15 million shares, with completion promised by June 27, 2024 (claim 5962). This authorization too remains in delayed status over two years past the promised date. Management has issued no revision statement and offered no public explanation for why this time-sensitive corporate action has not been resolved. The absence of either update stands in contrast to management's detailed disclosures of its near-simultaneous financing activities and bitcoin acquisitions, suggesting these compensation-related commitments have been either deprioritized or abandoned without formal announcement.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-13Marathon Digital disclosed FY 2024 base salary adjustments for five senior executives (Fred Thiel, Salman Khan, James Crawford, Adam Swick, John Lee—claims 6300–6304) as promised for January 1, 2024, yet these remain marked as delayed as of September 2026. The company has offered no public revision or explanation for why compensation changes communicated in February 2024 have not been implemented more than two and a half years later. A 2018 Equity Incentive Plan share authorization increase (claim 5962) was disclosed June 19, 2024, with a promise date of June 27, 2024, and similarly sits in delayed status into 2026; no amended proxy or subsequent disclosure accounts for why shareholder approval lapsed. The GC Data Center acquisition grew from an initial 178.65 million USD announcement (December 2023, claim 6401) to 183.8 million USD by May 2024 (claim 6206), a 2.9 percent revision with no accompanying explanatory filing or revised deal summary. Related earn-out provisions tied to ERCOT approval and facility expansion (claims 6402–6403) vanished from subsequent reporting despite material consequence for future cash flow. Convertible senior notes offerings from November and December 2024 (claims 5422, 5342) carried promised close dates of November 20 and December 4, respectively, yet both transitioned to delayed status; no amendments or delay notices were disclosed to clarify execution timelines or conditions that prevented closure. Repeated announcements of intended bitcoin acquisitions from convertible offering proceeds (claims 5426, 5401, 5350, 5346 spanning November–December 2024) contained no subsequent confirmation of execution or asset allocation, leaving stakeholders without closure on deployment of stated capital allocation priorities.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-12Marathon Digital disclosed executive base salary compensation levels for six senior executives in February 2024 (claims 6300-6305: Fred Thiel $950,000, Salman Khan $625,000, James Crawford $350,000, Adam Swick $350,000, Ashu Swami $350,000, John Lee $325,000), each promised to be implemented by January 1, 2024. As of September 4, 2026—nearly two years and nine months after the promised date—all six remain flagged as "delayed" in the official record. No revision announcement, updated timeline, or explanation for the extended slip has appeared in any subsequent disclosure or filing.
The acquisition of GC Data Center Equity Holdings appeared in Marathon's December 2023 announcement at a stated purchase price of $178.65 million (claim 6401). When the transaction was disclosed again in the May 2024 filing (claim 6206), the price had been restated to $183.8 million—a $5.15 million increase. This variance has never been explained in the company's disclosed record; the revised amount simply replaced the earlier figure without comment or justification.
Marathon announced in December 2023 a facility capacity expansion for its Granbury, Texas data center, contingent on ERCOT regulatory approval, with specific earn-out payment obligations totaling $15 million across capacity additions (claims 6402-6403). These claims and projects then vanish from all subsequent filings in the available disclosure record. No status update on regulatory approval, no change-of-plan notification, and no further mention of the project's fate has been disclosed.
The company disclosed in June 2024 a planned increase to its 2018 Equity Incentive Plan share authorization, promised for completion by June 27, 2024 (claim 5962). Now marked "delayed" as of September 4, 2026—over two years past the promised execution date—it has received no public revision notice or explanation for the extended slip.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-12Marathon Digital disclosed six executive base salary amounts for FY 2024 (Thiel, Khan, Swami, Swick, Crawford, and Lee) on February 1, 2024, each with an effective date of January 1, 2024. All six claims (6300, 6301, 6302, 6303, 6304, 6305) were reclassified from stated to delayed on September 4, 2026—nearly two years after their promised effective dates and almost two years after the disclosure that contained them. No subsequent disclosure appears to address why these salary changes did not take effect as originally indicated or what their current status is.
The company announced on June 19, 2024, a planned 15-million-share increase to its 2018 Equity Incentive Plan authorization (claim 5962), promising shareholder approval completion by June 27, 2024. This item remains in delayed status as of September 2026, suggesting the authorization either failed to secure approval or was indefinitely deferred. No update statement explaining the postponement has appeared in the record.
A Greenshoe over-allotment option for convertible notes (claim 5309), valued at $150 million and promised to be exercised by December 16, 2024, is marked as delayed in the September 2026 re-evaluation. While the underlying convertible offerings themselves completed and are marked stated, this ancillary option component has not been exercised and no rationale for the delay has been disclosed.
An energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging was mentioned in the May 2024 disclosure (claim 6208) with a delivery target of December 31, 2027. This topic does not appear in any subsequent quarterly or annual disclosures in the record, suggesting it was either abandoned or quietly deferred without formal announcement to shareholders.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-11The GC Data Center acquisition underwent significant restructuring that management never explicitly communicated to investors. When first disclosed in December 2023, the transaction was presented with granular components: a $178.65 million equity purchase (claim 6401), a $15 million expansion payment earn-out (claim 6402), an ERCOT approval-contingent earn-out for the Granbury facility (claim 6403), and a $9.01 million reverse termination fee (claim 6404). By May 2024, the same acquisition was restated as a single $183.8 million transaction (claim 6206). The total increase of $5.15 million is unexplained, as is the disappearance of the granular earn-out and termination-fee language. Management has never clarified whether those contracted contingencies were triggered, deferred, folded into the base purchase price, or abandoned entirely.
Executive compensation for fiscal 2024 was disclosed on February 1, 2024, with base salaries for six senior officers—Fred Thiel ($950,000), Salman Khan ($625,000), Ashu Swami ($350,000), John Lee ($325,000), James Crawford ($350,000), and Adam Swick ($350,000)—all designated as promised by 2024-01-01 (claims 6300–6305). All six are now marked as delayed, indicating the salaries missed their intended effective date. No public revision, update, or explanation has followed; investors have no disclosure of what caused the delay, whether compensation structures changed, or when the promised figures took effect.
The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan shareholder authorization for an additional 15 million shares was promised for shareholder vote by June 27, 2024 (claim 5962). It is now marked as delayed. No subsequent disclosure confirms whether the vote occurred late, failed, or was withdrawn; the item has simply vanished from public materials without narrative closure.
A cascade of delays surrounded the convertible senior notes offerings in late 2024. The pricing of an offering announced November 18, 2024, was promised by November 20 but is marked delayed (claim 5422). Principal amounts announced December 2, 2024, were promised by December 4 but are marked delayed (claim 5342). A greenshoe option announced December 3, 2024, was promised by December 16 but is marked delayed (claim 5309). Yet related claims on the same offerings are marked stated as completed—suggesting the offerings closed, but not at the promised dates and without explanation of the slippage or whether terms changed during the delay.
Management committed to acquiring additional bitcoin with proceeds from the convertible offerings, disclosing this intention on November 18 and November 20, 2024 (claims 5426, 5401). No subsequent disclosure reports whether that acquisition occurred, how much bitcoin was purchased, at what price, or when. The silence is material for investors tracking capital allocation but has not been addressed in any update or revision notice.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-11Marathon Digital's executive compensation obligations have shifted into delayed status without public clarification. Multiple FY 2024 base salary commitments—for Fred Thiel ($950k, claim 6300), Salman Khan ($625k, claim 6301), James Crawford ($350k, claim 6302), Ashu Swami ($350k, claim 6304), Adam Swick ($350k, claim 6303), and John Lee ($325k, claim 6305)—were promised by 2024-01-01 but transitioned to delayed status by September 2026. These were disclosed in February 2024 filings but management has not issued a public statement explaining why these payments have not been processed nearly thirty months past the promised date.
The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan share authorization increase of 15 million shares (claim 5962) was promised by June 27, 2024, but shifted to delayed status by September 2026. This item appeared in a June 2024 filing but has not been revisited in subsequent disclosures, leaving shareholders without explanation for a shareholder vote authorization that failed to materialize.
Multiple convertible notes offerings migrated to delayed status without revision announcements. The November 18, 2024 convertible notes offering pricing (claim 5422) was promised by November 20, 2024, and a follow-up offering principal amount (claim 5342 from December 2, 2024) was promised by December 4, 2024. A greenshoe option exercise (claim 5309) was promised by December 16, 2024. All three shifted to delayed status by September 2026, yet no earnings call or 8-K disclosed delays, repricing, withdrawal, or completion of these transactions.
The GC Data Center Equity Holdings acquisition displayed a silent amount revision. The initial December 2023 announcement valued the acquisition at $178.65 million (claim 6401), but the May 2024 update increased it to $183.8 million (claim 6206) without disclosed justification for the $5.15 million upward adjustment. Separately, the January 2024 milestone claiming "acquisition closure" (claim 6379) vanished from later filings without confirmation of closure or explanation of delay.
An energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging (claim 6208) was disclosed in May 2024 with a promised completion date of December 31, 2027, but does not reappear in subsequent quarterly disclosures, leaving unclear whether the contract remains in effect, was terminated, or was abandoned.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-11Executive compensation for fiscal year 2024 represents the most substantial unresolved discrepancy. In February 2024, Marathon disclosed base salary commitments for five executives promised effective January 1, 2024: Fred Thiel (claim 6300, $950k), Salman Khan (claim 6301, $625k), James Crawford (claim 6302, $350k), Ashu Swami (claim 6304, $350k), and John Lee (claim 6305, $325k). All five transitioned to 'delayed' status in early September 2026, more than two and a half years past their promised effective date, with no announcement explaining the delay, restructuring, or replacement of these commitments. The silence is notable given that executive base salaries are typically straightforward board-approved items that either are or are not paid. The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan share authorization increase of 15 million shares (claim 5962), promised by June 27, 2024, similarly slipped into delayed status by September 2026 without disclosed explanation. Convertible notes offerings showed minor dating slips—claims 5422 and 5342 promised closings on November 20 and December 4, 2024, respectively, but marked delayed—though subsequent claims (5307, 5308) indicate the offerings completed in early December 2024, suggesting the delays were tactical adjustments of a few days rather than material walkbacks. The GC Data Center acquisition amount was revised upward from the December 2023 stated amount of $178.65 million (claim 6401) to $183.8 million in the May 2024 disclosure (claim 6206), moving in the opposite direction from typical capacity downgrades. What distinguishes the compensation and equity plan items is the absence of any disclosed rationale for their persistent lateness and the consistency of the delays across unrelated executive officers.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-10Marathon Digital's FY 2024 executive base salary implementation (claims 6300–6305) was disclosed in February 2024 as effective January 1, 2024, but now carries a delayed status as of early September 2026, two years after the promised date. No proxy statement or subsequent filing has acknowledged the delay or explained what prevented or postponed the salary adjustments for CEO Fred Thiel ($950K), CFO Salman Khan ($625K), and other officers. A shareholder vote on the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan share increase (claim 5962) was promised for June 27, 2024 to authorize an additional 15 million shares, but that vote did not occur on schedule; the proposal has vanished from investor communications with no reschedule announcement or alternative authorization path disclosed. Three convertible notes offerings announced in November–December 2024 (claims 5422, 5342, 5309) had promised closing or pricing dates within days of announcement—November 20, December 4, and December 16 respectively—yet all three remain marked as delayed, indicating the offerings either did not price on time or did not close, with no revision to original terms or timeline provided to the market. The GC Data Center Equity Holdings acquisition, revised upward in price from $178.65 million (December 2023) to $183.8 million (May 2024), originally included earn-out provisions: a $15 million payment for data center capacity additions and an ERCOT regulatory approval earn-out (claims 6402–6403), but no subsequent disclosure has confirmed whether these earn-outs were achieved, paid, or abandoned as conditions changed.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-10Executive base salary promises for fiscal 2024—disclosed for Fred Thiel ($950k), Salman Khan ($625k), James Crawford, Adam Swick, Ashu Swami, and John Lee—were promised to commence January 1, 2024 (claims 6300–6305). They were disclosed in February 2024 already past due, and remain marked 'delayed' as of September 2026 with no revision announcement or explanation in the record for why nearly 2.5 years of promised compensation has not been acknowledged as restructured or deferred.
The 2018 Employee Incentive Plan share increase of 15 million shares (claim 5962) carried a promise date of June 27, 2024, yet transitioned to 'delayed' status on September 4, 2026—just over two years late. The stated-to-delayed transition occurred on the same date the automated system updated other claims, suggesting a silent reclassification with no accompanying explanation from management about why this shareholder authorization failed to materialize or was quietly shelved.
The GC Data Center Equity Holdings acquisition amount shifted without fanfare from $178.65 million (claim 6401, December 2023) to $183.8 million (claim 6206, May 2024), a $5.15 million increase that appears in the acquisition records but carries no explicit revision notice, announcement of added consideration, or explanation of the cost overrun between initial disclosure and final purchase accounting.
Two overlapping convertible notes offerings promised for November–December 2024 (claims 5422, 5342) remain in 'delayed' status as of September 2026, suggesting multiple tranches or extended settlement that was never clearly articulated as a rolling program, leaving public record uncertain whether these offerings closed, were abandoned, or continue in process beyond the initially promised closing dates.
The energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging through December 31, 2027 (claim 6208) appears in May 2024 disclosures but shows no subsequent status update or closure confirmation, and its absence from later communications raises the question whether this hedging initiative was executed, deferred indefinitely, or quietly deprioritized without public clarification.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-10Marathon Digital's executive compensation for FY 2024 represents the clearest unresolved delay. Six executives' base salaries (claims 6300–6305, announced 2024-02-01) carried promised-by dates of 2024-01-01, yet have been stuck in delayed status through September 2026 with no subsequent amendment or explanation—nearly two and a half years of silence on why fiscal-year compensation stalled at the announcement itself. The GC Data Center expansion earn-outs vanished from disclosure after May 2024. Claims 6402 and 6403 (2023-12-18), which outlined a $15M facility-capacity earn-out and ERCOT approval contingency for Granbury, TX, were mentioned once more in the May 2024 acquisition restatement (claim 6206) but have not reappeared in any subsequent filing shown in the record, despite the acquisition closing timeline passing. The energy commodity swap for electricity hedging (claim 6208, 2024-05-08, promised through 2027-12-31) appeared as a single statement with no follow-up on implementation status or execution, unusual for a multi-year hedging commitment. The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan share authorization (claim 5962, 2024-06-19) was promised by 2024-06-27 and is marked delayed; more than two years later, there is no update on investor approval or revised timing. Marathon's repeated Bitcoin acquisition announcements tied to convertible notes offerings (claims 5426, 5401, 5346, 5350, spanning November to December 2024) lack any subsequent disclosure of actual purchases or portfolio changes, despite the stated intent to deploy proceeds.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-09Five senior executives' FY 2024 base salary implementations (Fred Thiel, Salman Khan, James Crawford, Adam Swick, John Lee; claims 6300–6305) were promised effective January 1, 2024, but remain delayed as of September 2026—over twenty months past the stated date. Disclosed in February 2024 as "stated," these have transitioned to "delayed" without a visible public announcement explaining why the salaries did not take effect on schedule. The GC Data Center Equity Holdings acquisition purchase price shifted from $178.65 million (December 2023, claim 6401) to $183.8 million (May 2024, claim 6206)—a 2.9% increase—with no public revision statement. The deal also incorporated contingent earn-outs ($15 million for capacity additions, claim 6402), ERCOT regulatory approval gates (claim 6403), and a reverse termination fee ($9.0125 million, claim 6404), signaling material structural evolution between the initial December announcement and May closing, yet the transition from simpler to conditional terms went unexplained in the record. Marathon's 2018 Equity Incentive Plan share authorization increase (15 million shares, claim 5962) was promised for shareholder approval by June 27, 2024, but remains outstanding and delayed nearly 24 months later, with no subsequent disclosure addressing the lapse or revised timeline. These silences are notable: executives' compensation was supposed to activate on a hard date and hasn't; a major acquisition's costs increased and became conditional without explanation; a governance milestone was promised and has vanished from subsequent disclosures.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-09Executive compensation for fiscal 2024 was disclosed in Marathon's February 2024 proxy statement for five senior executives (claims 6300-6305), with base salaries for Fred Thiel ($950k), Salman Khan ($625k), James Crawford ($350k), Adam Swick ($350k), and Ashu Swami ($350k) promised effective January 1, 2024. As of September 2026, these salary provisions remain classified as delayed with no public amendment or explanation regarding the implementation delay spanning more than two years.
A planned increase to the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan authorization for 15 million shares was disclosed in June 2024 (claim 5962) with a promised approval date of June 27, 2024. This authorization increase remains in delayed status as of September 2026 with no subsequent disclosure clarifying whether shareholder or board action proceeded, was deferred, or was abandoned.
An electricity hedging contract via energy commodity swap extending through December 2027 was disclosed in May 2024 (claim 6208) but does not appear in any subsequent quarterly or annual disclosures reviewed through September 2026. No announcement has addressed whether this hedging arrangement was executed, suspended, or terminated.
The GC Data Center acquisition announced in December 2023 (claims 6402-6403) included earn-out provisions tied to facility expansion capacity and ERCOT regulatory approval for the Granbury, Texas facility. A revised disclosure in May 2024 (claim 6206) reported increased total consideration ($183.8 million versus $178.65 million) but provided no explanation of how or whether the earn-out contingencies were restructured or resolved.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-09The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan share authorization increase (claim 5962) promised completion by June 27, 2024 remains marked as delayed as of September 2026 with no public communication about the two-year-plus slip or current status. The Granbury, Texas facility expansion contingent on ERCOT approval (claim 6403), mentioned in December 2023 disclosures, has not reappeared in any subsequent filing; no update discloses whether regulatory approval was obtained or the project timeline revised. Similarly, the $15 million data center expansion earn-out (claim 6402) cited in December 2023 vanished entirely from later disclosures without explanation of postponement or cancellation. Beginning in November 2024, Marathon's communications shifted entirely toward convertible debt offerings and bitcoin acquisition (claims 5398-5426 and beyond), while all facility-capacity and infrastructure-related commitments from earlier in the year—including the GC Data Center acquisition closure, ERCOT regulatory approval, and expansion payments—fell silent with no closing statements or revised timelines.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-09Marathon Digital disclosed executive base salary compensation for six officers in February 2024 with an effective date of January 1, 2024: CEO Fred Thiel ($950K, claim 6300), VP Salman Khan ($625K, claim 6301), and four senior executives—John Lee, James Crawford, Adam Swick, Ashu Swami—each at $325K to $350K (claims 6305, 6302, 6303, 6304). All promised by 2024-01-01 and disclosed 2024-02-01, these commitments totaling approximately $2.95 million transitioned to delayed status in September 2026 without any interim update or explanation spanning over two years of drift.
Marathon requested shareholder approval for a 15 million share increase to its 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (claim 5962) with a promised closure date of June 27, 2024, disclosed June 19, 2024. The authorization has been marked delayed since September 2026 with no update statement, leaving the status of this capital structure change entirely opaque nearly two years past the promised date.
The company's stated acquisition price for GC Data Center Equity Holdings shifted without disclosure: first at $178.65 million on December 18, 2023 (claim 6401), then at $183.8 million on May 8, 2024 (claim 6206)—a $5.15 million increase unexplained in any revision announcement. Additionally, the acquisition was claimed as closed on January 15, 2024 (claim 6379), yet acquisition-related disclosures continued through May 2024, creating ambiguity about the actual transaction status.
Marathon disclosed an energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging (claim 6208) in Q1 2024 filings with a promised execution date of December 31, 2027. This single mention from May 8, 2024, has disappeared entirely from all subsequent quarterly and annual disclosures without any statement regarding cancellation, modification, or continued status, leaving investors unaware whether the hedging commitment remains active.
Two convertible notes offerings announced in late November and early December 2024 initially appeared with delayed status on claimed completion dates: a November 18 offering priced at $850 million promised by November 20 (claim 5422) and a December 2 offering at $850 million promised by December 4 (claim 5342). While subsequent announcements claimed both offerings were completed as larger facilities on November 20 and December 1 respectively (claims 5398, 5348), the interim delayed-status markings were never reconciled with updates explaining the pricing or execution adjustments.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-08Marathon Digital disclosed multiple executive base salary commitments for fiscal 2024 in its February 2024 proxy filing, with start dates promised for January 1, 2024 (claims 6300-6305 covering Fred Thiel at $950,000, Salman Khan at $625,000, James Crawford at $350,000, Adam Swick at $350,000, Ashu Swami at $350,000, and John Lee at $325,000). These transitioned to delayed status on September 4, 2026, without any evident restatement or explanation in subsequent filings. Executive base salary disclosures typically carry definite effective dates, so the absence of any clarifying amendment suggests either incomplete reporting through later compensation documents or an undisclosed wage structure change.
The GC Data Center Equity Holdings acquisition showed a material unannounced revision. The company first disclosed a purchase price of $178.65 million in December 2023 (claim 6401), with January 2024 closure expected (claim 6379). In May 2024, the same acquisition reappeared with a revised purchase price of $183.8 million (claim 6206)—a 2.9 percent increase. No intervening earn-out adjustment notification or press release explaining the upward revision was identified, suggesting either silent deal documentation or incomplete transparency.
The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan share authorization increase of 15 million shares (claim 5962) was disclosed June 19, 2024, with a shareholder vote promised by June 27, 2024. The claim transitioned to delayed status without subsequent disclosure of voting outcomes or an extended approval timeline.
Multiple convertible notes offerings filed in November and December 2024 carried specific pricing and closing milestones that slipped. A November 18 offering promised pricing by November 20 (claim 5422), while December filings committed to principal amount finalization by December 4 (claim 5342) and greenshoe option completion by December 16 (claim 5309). All three transitioned to delayed without publicly visible updates on actual execution dates or explanations for the slips.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-08Marathon Digital's FY 2024 executive compensation structure was disclosed in February 2024 with an effective date of January 1, 2024. Base salary claims for Fred Thiel ($950K), Salman Khan ($625K), James Crawford, Adam Swick, John Lee, and Ashu Swami (claims 6300–6305) all transitioned to 'delayed' status as of September 2026—over two years after the promised effective date. Management has provided no subsequent disclosure clarifying whether these compensation levels were implemented, revised, or deferred, leaving the gap between promise and outcome entirely unaddressed in public filings. The GC Data Center Equity Holdings acquisition was initially priced at $178.65 million in December 2023, with closure promised by January 15, 2024 (claim 6379). In May 2024, the company disclosed an updated acquisition cost of $183.8 million for the same entity (claim 6206)—a 2.9 percent upward revision—without issuing a separate amendment notice or explanation of the price adjustment or the missed closure date. The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan share authorization increase of 15 million shares was disclosed in June 2024 with a promised shareholder approval date of June 27, 2024, just eight days later (claim 5962). As of September 2026, this claim remains in 'delayed' status with no record of shareholder vote results, postponement notice, or follow-up authorization announcement, despite the company's continued issuance of equity incentives to executives. Multiple convertible notes offerings announced in late 2024—including $850 million tranches promised to close on November 20 and December 4, and a $150 million greenshoe option promised by December 16 (claims 5422, 5342, 5309)—remain marked 'delayed' as of the September 2026 data cutoff, with no public disclosure of the reason for the missed promised-by dates or the actual completion status and timing of these central financing transactions.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-08Marathon Digital disclosed FY 2024 executive base salary amounts and effective dates in its February 2024 proxy filing (claims 6300-6305: Fred Thiel, Salman Khan, James Crawford, Adam Swick, Ashu Swami, and John Lee). All six were promised to be effective January 1, 2024. These claims transitioned from stated to delayed status on September 4, 2026—nearly 2.5 years after the promised effective date. Management has not issued any revision, update, or explanation for why these compensation arrangements remain unresolved. The shares underlying the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (claim 5962) were promised to be authorized by June 27, 2024, per a June 2024 proxy filing. That deadline also slipped into delayed status in September 2026 without any disclosed amendment or waiver language. Marathon also disclosed a series of convertible notes offerings in late 2024 with specific completion and option-exercise dates. The initial offering closure (claim 5422, promised November 20, 2024), the principal tranche (claim 5342, promised December 4, 2024), and the greenshoe overallotment option exercise (claim 5309, promised December 16, 2024) all transitioned to delayed status on September 4, 2026. Management's disclosures do not explain why these financing milestones remain incomplete or what the current status is. No prospectus amendments, amendments to the underwriting agreement, or investor updates appear to address the slip.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-07Marathon Digital's disclosure record contains three material items that management announced with specific completion dates but has abandoned or left unresolved without public explanation. FY 2024 executive base salaries were promised by January 2024 and disclosed in February 2024 but remain unverified nearly two years later with no proxy-statement correction or announcement of delay. A 15-million-share increase to the equity incentive plan was promised by June 27, 2024, but as of September 2026 has never been confirmed or explained. Most significantly, convertible notes offerings announced in November and December 2024 with promised closing dates in late 2024 remain in 'delayed' status without any public acknowledgment of the slip or updated timeline, despite the company subsequently reporting completed bitcoin acquisitions and other capital deployment that ostensibly relied on proceeds from these offerings. In each case, management has not issued a revised guidance, cancellation notice, or explanation—they have simply stopped mentioning these items while the status transitions automatically flag them as unfulfilled.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-07Six executives' FY 2024 base salaries—Fred Thiel, Salman Khan, James Crawford, Adam Swick, Ashu Swami, and John Lee—were disclosed February 1, 2024, with an effective date of January 1, 2024 (claims 6300–6305). As of September 2026, all six remain marked "delayed." No revision announcement or explanation for why compensation promised effective in early 2024 is still unresolved nearly three years later appears in the record.
The 15-million-share increase to the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan was promised for June 27, 2024, when disclosed June 19, 2024 (claim 5962), yet remains delayed as of September 2026—over two years behind with no public explanation for the miss or revised timeline.
The GC Data Center Equity Holdings acquisition was first disclosed December 18, 2023, for $178.65 million with closure promised by January 15, 2024 (claims 6401, 6379). The deal was redisclosed May 8, 2024, with a revised acquisition amount of $183.8 million (claim 6206), indicating the original January closure failed. No disclosure statement acknowledged the missed deadline or explained the revised transaction terms.
Two convertible notes offerings from late 2024 carry specific promised pricing dates—November 20 for the first and December 4 for the second—yet both are marked delayed as of September 2026 (claims 5422, 5342), reflecting material slips in debt issuance timelines without subsequent disclosure of revised timelines or changed circumstances.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-06Marathon Digital's executive base salary commitments for FY 2024, disclosed in February 2024 and promised for January 1, 2024, have remained unfulfilled as of September 2026—nearly two years overdue—yet management has issued no public revision or delay announcement. Five executives (Fred Thiel, Salman Khan, James Crawford, Adam Swick, Ashu Swami, John Lee) had compensation structures tied to 2024-01-01 effectiveness (claims 6300–6305), all of which auto-transitioned to 'delayed' status in early September 2026 without any intervening disclosure explaining the slip or its resolution.
The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan share authorization increase of 15 million shares, announced June 2024 with a promised shareholder approval date of June 27, 2024 (claim 5962), has also gone unresolved and unmentioned in subsequent quarters. It transitioned to 'delayed' status in September 2026 with no management explanation of why the vote either failed, was postponed, or was abandoned.
Marathon's December 2023 announcement of the GC Data Center Equity Holdings acquisition—with a stated closure date of January 15, 2024 and multiple financial components (acquisition price of $183.8M, earn-out structures, regulatory approvals)—appears in the record only as 'stated' claims from that original announcement period (claims 6379, 6401–6404). No subsequent disclosure confirms deal closure, integration progress, or any change in expectations; management has simply gone silent on this transaction.
A significant equity offering and convertible notes activity in late 2024 (November–December) generated numerous claims about pricing, completion dates, and bitcoin acquisition plans tied to proceeds (claims 5398–5426). While some claims show 'completed' status, the transaction record shows promised completion dates that were initially met, but the earlier 'delayed' transitions and lack of clear follow-up disclosure on actual bitcoin deployment suggest management has stopped articulating its capital deployment timeline.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-06Marathon Digital's FY 2024 executive base salary determinations for six officers—Fred Thiel ($950,000), Salman Khan ($625,000), James Crawford, Adam Swick, Ashu Swami, and John Lee—were promised finalization by January 1, 2024, yet disclosed on February 1, 2024 in already-delayed status. These claims remain marked delayed as of September 2026 with no published explanation for why year-end compensation determinations required months of additional resolution or why they have never been completed. Management has stopped mentioning them entirely.
The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan share authorization increase of 15 million shares, promised for completion by June 27, 2024, entered delayed status and appears to have been silently abandoned. The claim was disclosed mid-year 2024 in connection with shareholder approval, but no subsequent disclosures acknowledge its failure to execute or explain the impediment. It has simply vanished from later filings.
The acquisition valuation of GC Data Center Equity Holdings rose from $178.65 million in December 2023 announcement (claim 6401) to $183.8 million by May 2024 closing (claim 6206)—a 3.5% increase across five months—without any revision announcement, earn-out clarification, or working capital adjustment disclosure. Management disclosed the revised amount as if it were routine, rather than explaining what additional consideration or contingent liability created the gap.
Convertible senior notes offerings from late November and early December 2024 show pricing delays marked against specific promised-by dates (November 20 and December 4), yet these remain flagged as delayed rather than completed. For debt offerings of this size, target pricing dates typically execute precisely or are publicly revised; the continued delayed status suggests execution misses that were not communicated.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-06Marathon Digital announced six executives' FY 2024 base salaries in February 2024—Fred Thiel ($950K), Salman Khan ($625K), John Lee ($325K), Ashu Swami ($350K), Adam Swick ($350K), and James Crawford ($350K)—promised for January 1, 2024. These have now transitioned to delayed status; there is no public record of payment, deferral, or explanation of the lapse into mid-2026. The 15 million share authorization increase to the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, promised by June 27, 2024 (claim 5962), is also now delayed; management has not disclosed why a shareholder-approved capital allocation remains unexecuted more than two years later. Multiple convertible notes offerings promised in late 2024—pricing by November 20, a $700–850 million offering by December 4, and the greenshoe option by December 16 (claims 5422, 5342, 5309)—all now show delayed status without public notification of cancellation, repricing, or rescheduling, despite their materiality to capital structure. The GC Data Center acquisition valuation appears to have shifted from $178.65 million in December 2023 to $183.8 million by May 2024 (claims 6401 and 6206) without disclosure of earn-out triggers, purchase price adjustments, or scope changes. The energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging, mentioned in May 2024 and promised by December 2027 (claim 6208), has not been referenced in subsequent quarterly disclosures or investor communications, leaving the status and continuation of that hedging strategy unclear.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-06Marathon Digital's May 2024 announcement of an energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging, promised to conclude by December 2027, has not been mentioned in any subsequent disclosure. The company initially framed this as part of its data center risk management strategy but has since gone silent on the contract's status, progress, or whether it was actually executed. Executive compensation for FY 2024—specifically base salary confirmations for Fred Thiel, Salman Khan, James Crawford, Adam Swick, John Lee, and Ashu Swami—were promised by January 1, 2024, yet remain marked delayed nearly two years later without a public explanation or revised timeline. Management has not clarified whether salaries were deferred, restructured, or subject to undisclosed contingencies. The company announced plans to increase its 2018 Equity Incentive Plan authorization by 15 million shares in June 2024, with a promised completion date of June 27, 2024, but this also transitioned to delayed status without any revision statement or disclosure of what prevented the shareholder approval. Marathon's GC Data Center acquisition figures shifted between disclosure cycles—stated as $178.65 million in December 2023 and reframed as $183.8 million by May 2024—without explanation of whether the difference reflected a revised purchase price, earnout adjustments, or separate tranches that management chose not to clarify. Multiple convertible notes offerings in the fourth quarter of 2024 (announced November 18, December 2, and December 3) all carried delayed completion statuses for promised dates in late November and December 2024, yet management has not published updates on whether these financings ultimately closed, were restructured, or were abandoned.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-05Marathon Digital's executive compensation for fiscal 2024—base salaries for Fred Thiel, Salman Khan, James Crawford, John Lee, Adam Swick, and Ashu Swami—were all promised by 2024-01-01 (disclosed in the 2024-02-01 filing) and have now transitioned to 'delayed' status as of 2026-09-04. We are now in early September 2026; these items are over two and a half years past their promised date with no management announcement explaining the delay, reversal, or revised timing. The company has made no public statement addressing why executive salaries promised for fiscal 2024's start date remain unresolved.
The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan share authorization increase of 15 million shares was promised by 2024-06-27 (from a 2024-06-19 disclosure) and is now marked delayed. No subsequent disclosure has confirmed whether this shareholder approval was obtained, when it was obtained, or what regulatory or governance obstacles may have caused it to miss its promised date.
Multiple convertible notes offerings—announced in November and December 2024—were promised to close by specific near-term dates: claim 5422 (offered 2024-11-18, promised by 2024-11-20), claim 5342 (offered 2024-12-02, promised by 2024-12-04), and claim 5309 (announced 2024-12-03, promised by 2024-12-16) are all now delayed. Convertible offerings typically close within days of announcement, so a transition to 'delayed' status years later suggests either execution problems or terms that were never finalized—neither of which has been disclosed to the market.
The GC Data Center Equity Holdings acquisition appeared at two different valuations: claim 6401 from 2023-12-18 at $178.65 million and claim 6206 from 2024-05-08 at $183.8 million. The $5.15 million increase lacks any accompanying disclosure explaining whether this was a revised earn-out structure, additional scope, or settlement of prior disputes. Management has not publicly addressed what changed or why.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-05Marathon Digital's 2018 Equity Incentive Plan share authorization increase (claim 5962), promised for investor approval by June 27, 2024, remains in delayed status as of September 2026—nearly two years overdue with no public explanation for the miss or revised timeline. The company announced it would increase authorized shares by 15 million, a routine governance matter, but has not communicated whether approval was rejected, postponed, or why no update was issued once the original date passed.
Six senior executives' FY2024 base salary increases (claims 6300–6305)—including CEO Fred Thiel ($950,000), President Salman Khan ($625,000), and four other officers—were stated as effective 2024-01-01 but have transitioned to delayed status without explanation. These are material compensation items in SEC filings; the silent status shift suggests either internal restructuring or compensation reviews that have not been disclosed or discussed.
Two major convertible senior notes offerings announced in November and December 2024 (claims 5422, 5342), each promised to close within days of announcement, remain delayed more than 18 months later. The company described plans to use proceeds for bitcoin acquisition and debt repayment, signaling strategic capital deployment, yet neither offering has completed and management has issued no revision statement or new timeline.
The ERCOT regulatory approval earn-out for Marathon's Granbury, Texas facility expansion (claim 6403) was mentioned in December 2023 as a contingent milestone but has vanished from all subsequent disclosures. There is no follow-up claim stating approval obtained, denial received, or deferral to a new date—only silence after a single mention, leaving the status of a material operational expansion undisclosed.
The company's energy commodity swap contract for electricity hedging (claim 6208), announced in May 2024 with a promised completion by 2027, similarly appears in only one filing and is not referenced in subsequent quarterly statements, raising questions about whether the hedging strategy was abandoned or remains in quiet renegotiation.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-05Executive compensation for fiscal year 2024 presents the most significant quiet slip. Five base salary awards—Fred Thiel ($950K), Salman Khan ($625K), James Crawford ($350K), Adam Swick ($350K), Ashu Swami ($350K), and John Lee ($325K)—were all promised to commence on January 1, 2024 and disclosed in Marathon's February 2024 proxy filings (claims 6300-6305). All six have since transitioned to 'delayed' status as of September 4, 2026, nearly two years past the promised effective date. No subsequent disclosure appears to have announced a revised start date or explained the departure from the stated timeline. Similarly, the authorization increase to the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan for 15 million additional shares (claim 5962) was promised by June 27, 2024 following shareholder approval on June 19, 2024, but crossed into 'delayed' status without any public revision notice. On the financing side, three distinct convertible notes closings were promised in late 2024—the initial offering priced by November 20, 2024 (claim 5422), the principal amount by December 4, 2024 (claim 5342), and the greenshoe option exercise by December 16, 2024 (claim 5309)—all of which transitioned to 'delayed' status on September 4, 2026. The GC Data Center acquisition shows internal inconsistency across filings: claim 6379 from January 15, 2024 reports closure, yet claim 6206 from May 8, 2024 values the same acquisition at $183.8 million against the earlier $178.65 million figure (claim 6401), suggesting scope or terms shifted without explicit revision communication.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-05FY 2024 executive base salary implementations were disclosed on 2024-02-01 as promised by 2024-01-01 across six executives—Fred Thiel ($950k), Salman Khan ($625k), Adam Swick ($350k), Ashu Swami ($350k), James Crawford ($350k), and John Lee ($325k)—but all transitioned to delayed status on 2026-09-04, now nearly two years overdue. No management update explains why these salary structures were not finalized by the promised date or when they will take effect. The claims remain in limbo without revision.
The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan share authorization increase (claim 5962) was announced 2024-06-19 as a 15 million share authorization promised by 2024-06-27—less than two weeks away at disclosure. This claim has been marked delayed as of 2026-09-04. No subsequent announcement confirms whether the shareholder vote occurred or failed; the topic simply vanished from filings.
A series of convertible notes offerings from late 2024 show delayed transitions despite being presented as imminent: the offering pricing was promised by 2024-11-20 (claim 5422), principal amount finalized by 2024-12-04 (claim 5342), and greenshoe option exercised by 2024-12-16 (claim 5309). All three shifted to delayed status on 2026-09-04, nine months after the latest promised date. These transactions were actively marketed in contemporaneous disclosures but no closure announcements appear in the record.
The GC Data Center Equity Holdings acquisition cost shifted from $178.65M (disclosed 2023-12-18) to $183.8M (disclosed 2024-05-08), a $5.15M mid-course increase neither flagged as a revised estimate nor explained as earn-out contingency in the filings.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-05Six senior executives—Fred Thiel, Salman Khan, Adam Swick, Ashu Swami, James Crawford, and John Lee—had FY 2024 base salary amounts disclosed in February 2024 documents with stated delivery by January 1, 2024 (claims 6300–6305). As of September 2026, these remain marked "delayed," meaning the promised dates passed without implementation or rescheduling disclosure. Management has not explained why approved, pre-disclosed compensation remains undelivered nearly three years later.
A 15 million share increase for the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan was promised by June 27, 2024 (claim 5962), and shareholders approved it. It remains "delayed" as of September 2026—nearly 20 months overdue—with no public statement on implementation status, obstacles, or revised timelines.
The GC Data Center acquisition was initially stated at $178.65 million in December 2023 (claim 6401), then appeared at $183.8 million in May 2024 disclosures (claim 6206)—a $5.15 million upward revision. No intervening disclosure explained the increase, additional earn-outs, or cost justification.
Multiple convertible senior notes offerings announced in late 2024 create an unclear sequence. An $850 million offering (promised by November 20 and December 4) and greenshoe option (promised by December 16) remain "delayed" as of September 2026 (claims 5422, 5342, 5309). A separate $700 million offering was disclosed in December (claim 5348). Management has not publicly explained the relationship between these overlapping transactions or why delivery remains incomplete 20+ months later.
Facility expansion contingencies from December 2023—ERCOT regulatory approval for Granbury, Texas capacity and a $15 million earn-out payment (claims 6403, 6402)—have not been mentioned in any subsequent disclosure. No update indicates whether regulatory milestones were achieved, earn-out conditions met, or the commitment abandoned.
What we haven't been told
2026-09-05Marathon Digital disclosed in February 2024 that six executives' base salaries for FY 2024 would take effect January 1, 2024 (claims 6300–6305: Thiel, Khan, Crawford, Swick, Swami, Lee). Those promises are now marked delayed as of September 4, 2026—nearly two years past the stated effective date—with no revised timeline or explanation disclosed. Similarly, claim 5962 states that shareholders would approve a 15-million-share increase to the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan by June 27, 2024 (disclosed June 19, 2024); this vote also transitioned to delayed status in early September 2026 without any announcement that approval was deferred or denied. The November–December 2024 convertible notes offerings generated multiple claims with specific closure promises: pricing promised by November 20, 2024 (claim 5422, delayed), principal-amount terms by December 4, 2024 (claim 5342, delayed), and greenshoe pricing by December 16, 2024 (claim 5309, delayed). While other concurrent claims (5398–5399) state the offering was completed, these timing commitments remain unresolved and unmarked as superceded, creating ambiguity about whether certain tranches or options failed to close. The GC Data Center acquisition shows claim 6401 at $178.65 million announced December 2024, then claim 6206 at $183.8 million announced May 2024, alongside separate earn-out claims (6402–6403)—a $5.15 million variance and structural shift that was never explicitly characterized as a revision or deal restructuring. Finally, multiple claims from November–December 2024 commit to bitcoin acquisitions using convertible note proceeds (5426, 5401, 5346, 5350), but no subsequent quarterly disclosure mentions whether those purchases occurred, deferred, or changed in scale.
