MARA Trading Volume Plummets 34.67 to 207th Rank Amid Bitcoin Gains and Record Earnings Surge

On July 31, 2025, MARA Holdings (MARA) closed at $16.08, down 2.84% from its previous close, with a trading volume of $650 million, a 34.67% decline from the prior day. The stock ranked 207th in trading activity among listed equities, reflecting reduced liquidity despite recent corporate developments.

Recent news highlights include MARA’s second-quarter performance, which saw revenue surge to $238.5 million, exceeding estimates by $20 million. Net income reached $808 million, driven by Bitcoin mining operations and strategic cost management. Analysts noted the company’s power efficiency and global expansion as key differentiators. Additionally, MARA secured a $950 million funding round to increase Bitcoin holdings, reinforcing its position as the second-largest public Bitcoin treasury with nearly $6 billion in crypto assets.

Corporate governance updates include the appointment of Nir Rikovitch as Chief Product Officer and a strategic partnership with TAE Power Solutions. However, June 2025 Bitcoin production fell to 713 BTC from 950 BTC in May, signaling operational challenges. Despite these factors, JPMorgan upgraded MARA to Overweight, citing improved network hashrate and earnings visibility.

The strategy of purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day generated a 166.71% return from 2022 to the present, outperforming the benchmark by 137.53%. This momentum-driven approach leveraged liquidity surges in high-volume stocks, though its efficacy depends on evolving market dynamics and liquidity concentration patterns.
