Bitcoin Mining Giant Marathon Digital Expands Operations with $179 Million Acquisition

Marathon Digital Holdings, a publicly traded Bitcoin miner, has acquired two Bitcoin mining sites for $178.6 million in preparation for the upcoming Bitcoin halving. The move will add 390 megawatts of capacity and is expected to reduce the cost per coin mined by around 30%.
