Marathon Digital Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:MARA) shares are trading higher Friday. The company provided a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) production and mining update late Thursday.
Marathon Digital said it produced 707 Bitcoin in the second-quarter, representing an increase of 8% year-over-year, despite significant headwinds.
Bitcoin production was impacted by energization delays in Texas, maintenance to its facilities and a severe storm which caused one of its mining locations to go offline. However, year-to-date production was up 132% over the same period in the prior year.
Marathon Digital now holds 10,055 Bitcoin directly and finished the month with $88.7 million in cash and $153.7 million in total available liquidity.
Bitcoin was up 3.52% over a 24-hour period at $21,480 at press time, which could be adding to Marathon Digital’s move higher today.
