MARA Holdings sold roughly 40% of its quarter-end Bitcoin holdings for about $1.1 billion and expects additional sales. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $73,137.00, down 1.8% since this brief published. This is an original TLT brief synthesising 7 outlets (BeInCrypto, Crypto.news, TronWeekly, and others), plus live market data, as of Tue, 10 Nov 2026 15:45:02 UTC.
The disposals materially reduced MARA’s Bitcoin-backed balance sheet while directing funds toward debt obligations. Continued sales could further change the company’s exposure to Bitcoin price movements and its per-share Bitcoin backing.

MARA Holdings sold 13,597 
Bitcoin after closing the third quarter, according to BeInCrypto’s report on the company’s shareholder letter. The transaction generated approximately $1.1 billion, and MARA said it expects additional Bitcoin sales.
The disposals amounted to about 40% of the 34,012 BTC MARA held on September 30. BeInCrypto said shareholders now have less Bitcoin exposure per share because the company is using the coins to address debt, making continued selling an important part of its financial position.
Bitcoin traded at $74,465 at the time of the market snapshot, down 0.37% over 24 hours and 2.83% over seven days. Its market capitalization stood at $1.5 trillion. The broader crypto market was flat with a total capitalization of $2.55 trillion, while the Fear & Greed index registered 32, indicating a Fear reading.
The development matters because MARA is reducing a major source of Bitcoin backing while adding to debt repayment. Its shareholder letter signals that the 13,597 BTC sale may not be the company’s final disposal, so subsequent holdings disclosures and further sales will determine how quickly the Bitcoin position changes. The current market backdrop—muted overall capitalization, a modestly weaker Bitcoin price and a Fear reading—provides context for the timing, but the report does not attribute MARA’s decision directly to those conditions.
Since this brief published about 12 hours ago, Bitcoin (BTC) has moved from $74,465.00 to $73,137.00 — -1.78%.
