Bitcoin miners MARA and Hut 8 boost profits and BTC holdings in Q3
Bitcoin mining corporations MARA Holdings and Hut 8 reported strong third-quarter results on Tuesday, both posting sharp increases in profits and expanding their bitcoin reserves.
MARA’s revenue surged 92% year-over-year to $252 million in Q3 2025. The company reported net income of $123 million, compared to a loss of $125 million in the same period last year.
Hut 8’s revenue nearly doubled to $83.5 million, with net income of $50.6 million.
Both mining companies also strengthened their balance sheets.
MARA Holdings ended the quarter with 52,850 BTC, nearly doubling its reserves from 26,747 BTC a year earlier.
Hut 8 reported 13,696 BTC in its strategic reserve, up from 9,106 BTC last year.
These results highlight both firms’ continued business diversification beyond bitcoin mining, moving into large-scale computing and energy infrastructure.
MARA described itself as a “digital energy and infrastructure” company focused on converting excess energy into digital capital, including investments in low-carbon AI data centers through the $168 million acquisition of Exaion, a subsidiary of the French state-owned energy giant EDF.
Hut 8 follows a similar path, managing 1.02 gigawatts of capacity and planning to expand to over 2.5 gigawatts across North America. The company is developing high-performance computing hubs to support both bitcoin mining and AI workloads.
Despite strong results, shares of both companies declined on Tuesday:
-
Hut 8 dropped by around 9%,
-
MARA fell by 5% — nearly matching bitcoin’s 6% slide to $99,000, according to TradingView.

The U.S. leads global bitcoin mining
Following China’s 2021 bitcoin mining ban, a significant share of the global hash rate shifted to the United States, which now accounts for roughly 37% of total bitcoin hash power, making it the world’s largest mining hub.
Six of the ten biggest publicly listed miners are based in the U.S.

U.S. Senator Ted Cruz even called the state “a bitcoin oasis.”

Meanwhile, some states are still debating industry regulations.
In New Hampshire, the Senate Commerce Committee failed to reach an agreement last Friday on a bill aimed at loosening restrictions on crypto mining — following a wave of public reaction since the measure was last discussed.
