MARA Holdings' CFO Salman Hassan Khan sold 16,000 shares worth $174,400 through a family trust under a pre-scheduled trading plan, maintaining a substantial 2.1 million share position.

MARA Holdings CEO Frederick G. Thiel sold 27,505 shares for $300,000 under a pre-established trading plan, reducing his direct holdings by less than 1%. The sale comes as the Bitcoin mining company reported an 18% revenue decline and a $1.26 billion net loss in Q1, largely driven by a $1 billion unrealized mark-to-market adjustment on digital assets.

The cryptocurrency is increasingly acting like a traditional asset due to institutional adoption via spot Bitcoin ETFs (launched January 2024), improved regulatory clarity, and miners diversifying into AI computing contracts.

Mara Holdings stock fell 5% after the cryptocurrency mining company missed earnings expectations on both revenue and net loss in Q1 2026. Revenue declined 18% year-over-year to $174.6 million, falling short of the $182 million consensus estimate. The net loss widened significantly to $1.3 billion ($3.31 per share) due to a major digital asset write-down, far exceeding the expected $1.41 per share loss. The decline was compounded by broader cryptocurrency market weakness and a 26% decrease in the company's Bitcoin holdings.
