Marathon Digital Holdings reported a 3% increase in its energized hashrate and is preparing to activate a new data center at its Texas wind farm. These steps follow operational efficiency improvements in Ohio, despite facing higher-than-expected curtailments at some sites.
Security Issues and Increased Thefts
As of mid-2025, cryptocurrency thefts surged to $2.17 billion, emphasizing the growing risks in the industry. Marathon Digital's expansion plans may strengthen the company’s resilience amid rising security concerns.
