  1. MARA Sells 13,597 Bitcoin and Signals More Disposals
  2. MARA Sells More Than 40,000 Bitcoin to Fund Corporate Priorities — this brief

Crypto.news reports that MARA has sold more than 40,000 Bitcoin across its disclosed 2026 transactions. The company used its treasury proceeds to finance operations, retire debt and support an expansion into power infrastructure, according to the outlet. The report says MARA’s latest sale raised approximately $1.1 billion and released Bitcoin that had been pledged. Crypto.news did not provide a complete breakdown of the timing, transaction structure or average sale price for every disposal, so the reported total and latest proceeds should not be treated as a full transaction-by-transaction valuation. This is a single-source account, with no other outlet supplied here independently confirming the figures. Within the available coverage, MARA’s stated use of the proceeds links the Bitcoin sales to several corporate priorities rather than presenting them as a stand-alone investment decision. The wider market backdrop is weak. Bitcoin trades at $69,350, down 4.91% over 24 hours and 8.86% over seven days, with a market capitalization of $1.39 trillion. The total crypto market stands at $2.4 trillion and is broadly lower, while the Fear & Greed Index is at 20, labeled Extreme Fear. The supplied data does not establish that MARA’s sales caused Bitcoin’s decline; further disclosures about MARA’s remaining holdings and pledged coins are the relevant items to monitor.
