Strategic M&A and Partnerships Accelerating Execution
Moved Starwood joint venture from announcement to execution (permitting, site prep, active tenant discussions across ~90% of owned/operated sites). Closed majority acquisition of Exaion and announced definitive agreement to acquire Long Ridge Energy & Power, positioning MARA to scale AI and critical IT infrastructure.
Long Ridge Acquisition: Immediate Cash Flow and Large Capacity Upside
Long Ridge adds ~1,600 contiguous acres, existing 200 MW at Hannibal with a path to >1 GW generation and an approx. 505 MW combined-cycle plant. Plant generated $144 million of annualized adjusted EBITDA in H2 2025 with 76% contracted. Transaction increases owned/operated energized capacity ~65% (from ~1.3 GW to ~2.2 GW at close, expansion to ~2.4 GW) and provides a path to ~600 MW of AI/critical IT load.
Record Energized Hashrate and Improved Market Share
Delivered record energized hashrate of 72.2 EH/s in Q1 2026, up 33% from 54.3 EH/s in Q1 2025. Share of available mining rewards increased to 5.5% from 4.8% in Q4 2025.
Capital Structure Actions to Reduce Dilution and Cost
Retired roughly 30% of outstanding convertible debt (Salman noted retiring ~33% of outstanding debt including ~30% convertible note reduction) at a discount, reducing potential dilution by approximately 46 million shares (~9% on a fully diluted basis) and increasing financial flexibility.
Bitcoin Monetization Used to Delever
Sold approximately $1.5 billion of Bitcoin in the quarter to repurchase >$1.0 billion face value of 2030/2031 notes and reduce the line of credit by $200 million. Refinance activity included $150 million of line refinanced at 7% vs prior 10.5%.
Competitive Energy Costs and Operational Efficiency
Owned-site cost per kilowatt-hour reported at $0.04 (competitive at scale). Daily cost per petahash per day improved 3% YoY to $27.6 from $28.5 and is improved 42% over the past 11 quarters.
Starwood JV Capital Efficient Monetization Pathway
JV structure allows MARA to contribute powered sites and receive pre-agreed site-specific equity credit, with illustrative economics suggesting a 200 MW project could generate ~$50M–$100M net annualized stabilized cash flow (9%–15% yield on cost) with little incremental equity required beyond site value.
Operational Continuity and Talent Retention
Plan to retain about 25 full-time employees from Long Ridge to supplement MARA energy asset operating expertise; Long Ridge operations to continue serving PJM grid while enabling behind-the-meter compute build-outs.
