Framing Success: How Big 50,000 Bitcoin Really Is

return to insights

MARA has reached a significant milestone, now holding over 50,000 bitcoin in its treasury. This achievement is the result of the company's long-term HODL strategy, complimented by two accumulation strategies or what MARA refers to as its "twin turbo": mining bitcoin and purchasing it in the open market.

With a powerful mining engine and disciplined capital allocation, MARA is not only one of the largest public Bitcoin miners (controlling around 5% of the Bitcoin network hashrate at the time of writing) but also the largest holder of bitcoin among public miners. In fact, MARA holds more bitcoin than the next five largest public miners combined, a testament to the scale and consistency of its accumulation strategy. To put that into perspective, if a miner today maintained 5% of the network hashrate, it would take over 12 years for them to accumulate 50,000 bitcoin.

Putting MARA's Treasury into Perspective

To grasp the scale of MARA’s 50,000 bitcoin reserve, it’s helpful to translate that value into more familiar terms. These comparisons below offer tangible context for just how substantial MARA’s holdings truly are:

At the time of writing, 50,000 bitcoin is worth approximately $5.45 billion. Converted into U.S. dollar bills, that amount could cover approximately 22 square miles or nearly the entire area of Manhattan. Stacked together, the bills would occupy over 217,000 cubic feet, forming a block 130 feet long, 55 feet wide, and 30 feet tall or roughly the size of a three-story building, requiring a cargo ship to transport it.

It cost $1.5 billion to construct the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. At current valuations, 50,000 bitcoin could finance the construction of the Burj Khalifa more than 3 times over. The Jeddah Tower, which is set to become the new tallest building once constructed, costs $1.2 billion. 50,000 bitcoin could build four Jeddah Towers, each set to soar a kilometer into the sky.

In 2010, a Florida man made headlines for trading 10,000 bitcoin for two large pizzas (then worth about $40). Fast forward to today: 50,000 bitcoin could buy a $15 pizza for every person in the United States. And after feeding the nation, there’d still be $319 million left for the tip. It’s a striking example of how MARA’s holdings and bitcoin itself have grown into something truly monumental.

The Road Ahead

Crossing the 50,000 bitcoin milestone reflects the strategic discipline, scale, and conviction that define MARA. As the company adapts to market conditions, its focus remains unchanged: to lead the industry with capital efficiency, operational excellence, and long-term vision. We believe bitcoin isn't just a store of value but a strategic asset that will continue to propel the company’s growth.
