Miami — MARA Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: MARA) announced preliminary financial results for the first quarter of 2026, with all metrics falling short of analyst expectations. Following the announcement, the stock price dropped 2.7%.

This digital infrastructure company’s first-quarter loss was $3.31 per share, significantly exceeding analysts’ expected loss of $1.41 per share. Revenue was $174.6 million, below the analyst forecast of $181.86 million.

The decline in revenue was mainly due to an 18% drop in the average price of Bitcoin during the quarter.

Net loss expanded sharply from $533.4 million (diluted loss of $1.55 per share) in Q1 2025 to $1.3 billion (diluted loss of $3.31 per share). The loss includes a $1 billion fair value impairment of digital assets, caused by a 22% decrease in Bitcoin prices from December 31, 2025, to March 31, 2026.

Chairman and CEO Fred Thiel stated, “The next phase of value creation in digital infrastructure will be determined by power control — where power is located, when it is available, and how to achieve optimal monetization.”
