MARA Bitcoin Mining Facility
About Us

We Support the Energy Transformation

MARA helps solve the challenges of the energy transformation by providing innovative solutions to the energy sector and beyond. MARA’s goal is to convert unused or underutilized energy, like excess generation from renewables, and alternative sources, such as captured methane and biogas, into economic value. We also offer advanced technology solutions to optimize your data center operations.

Our Pillars
Utility-Scale Computing Icon

Utility-Scale Computing

MARA’s Utility-Scale Computing business monetizes excess power generation by deploying large, flexible, grid-connected data centers that serve as interruptible base load customers. Our data centers help improve the economic viability of energy projects by reducing curtailment and support power grid operations by balancing power supply and demand.

Energy Harvesting Icon

Energy Harvesting

MARA’s Energy Harvesting business transforms unconventional energy sources, such as landfill waste, food processing byproducts, and flared gas from oil fields, into usable electricity. These remote sites often face challenges in producing and utilizing electricity due to location, modest power outputs, and economic factors. MARA overcomes these obstacles by using generated electricity to power modular data centers. Additionally, heat from our data centers can be recycled for industrial use cases like district heating.

Technology Suite Icon

Technology Suite

Originally developed for our own operations, MARA’s Technology Suite is now available to customers seeking to optimize their data center operations. Our advanced cooling technology, 2PIC, delivers exceptional performance, efficiency, and space savings, ensuring operations stay cool even under the most extreme conditions. Additionally, our custom firmware improves Bitcoin mining efficiency and performance.

Climate. Culture. Community.

We are committed to doing good and doing it well. We leverage digital asset compute because we believe in its potential to be a force for good. By committing to operate with integrity and respecting ourselves, each other, and our environment, we strive to make the world a better place than we found it, and we aim to inspire others to do the same.

Climate Icon

Climate

We strive for our data centers to derive as much of their power as possible from sustainable, non-carbon emitting power sources, which may include wind, solar, hydro and biofuel. Our operations provide several positive benefits for building a sustainable future, including supporting renewable energy projects, stabilizing energy grids, mitigating flaring and methane emissions, and recycling heat. For example, one of our pilot projects in Utah, USA, converts landfill methane into electricity for digital asset compute.

MARA is currently working on calculating its carbon footprint for the baseline year of 2023. With a comprehensive study of our Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, we aim to better understand our climate-related risks and opportunities, and take action to be a good steward of the environment. 

Culture Icon

Culture

Our culture is built on core values that guide everything we do: Do What's Right, CANI (Constant and Never-Ending Improvement), Trust, Clarity of Communication, Readiness and Urgency, Having a Solution Mindset, Integrity and Transparency, and Reliability. These values shape our approach to work and interactions, nurturing a positive and productive environment.

We are committed to creating a work environment that is welcoming, respectful, and inclusive of everyone. We are proud to promote the principles of diversity, inclusion, and belonging both inside and outside of our business. Additionally, we are honored to be rapidly growing the number of veterans in our workforce through our partnership with Cohen Partners, a strategic military placement agency.

Social Icon

Community

We achieve a positive community impact by investing in local data centers, creating quality jobs, and contributing to local and state tax revenues to fund essential services. We support communities by hiring local, sourcing from local businesses, volunteering, and supporting schools, nonprofits, and community projects. During critical times, we voluntarily power down our operations to return power to critical businesses and infrastructure.

We also support digital asset networks (i.e., Bitcoin) that enhance financial inclusion and empower economic freedom globally. By sustainably deploying computational power (“hash rate”), we help make digital assets more secure and decentralized. Additionally, we support organizations such as the Bitcoin Policy Institute, Brink, Texas A&M, Summer of Bitcoin, and Women in Bitcoin, furthering our commitment to the digital asset ecosystem and its diverse community.
