Marathon also expanded its mining capabilities in the US, increasing its operational hash rate by 2% and its installed hash rate by 1% through equipment upgrades. The company aims to further expand its operations and reach a hash rate of 30 exahashes, with plans to obtain additional hash power through international facilities and contracts. Marathon is also in the process of finalizing paperwork for a new mining facility in Garden City, Texas. Additionally, the company’s joint venture in Abu Dhabi successfully mined 50 Bitcoin in August, demonstrating its global reach and diversification of mining operations.
