Marathon Digital announced the acquisition of Long Ridge Energy & Power, significantly expanding its power capacity and positioning the company more strongly in high-performance computing and AI infrastructure. The transaction follows a diversification strategy beyond pure Bitcoin mining and is intended to unlock controllable energy assets for crypto and AI applications. Positive sector momentum after strong quarterly results from CoreWeave and Marathon’s large Bitcoin holding of around 35,577 BTC pushed the stock sharply higher today, despite a weaker overall market. Analyst views remain mixed, and previously announced planned stock sales by the CEO and CFO had weighed on the shares earlier. » More on de.investing.com
