This improvement was largely attributed to gains on digital assets of $331.5 million under the new fair value model and a net gain from extinguishment of debt. The company mined 12,852 bitcoin, marking a 210.1% increase over the prior year, and operated approximately 210,000 mining rigs globally. Marathon's future plans include the commencement of a new at-the-market offering program with an aggregate offering price of up to $1.5 billion, and the company expects to continue expanding its bitcoin holdings, although it may sell bitcoin to fund operating costs and for general corporate purposes. Marathon also anticipates the upcoming halving event in April 2024, which could potentially impact its revenue due to the reduction in block rewards. Despite this, the company remains well-positioned to capture market share and execute its long-term growth strategy.
