is a digital asset technology company that mines cryptocurrencies with a focus on the blockchain ecosystem and the generation

of digital assets.

On February 1, 2021, Marathon announced that its main supplier of bitcoin miners, Bitmain, had shipped approximately

4,000 S-19 Pro ASIC miners to the Company’s mining facility in Hardin, MT, all of which were delivered as scheduled.

addition to the initial 4,000 miners delivered to the Hardin facility in February, Bitmain recently shipped another 6,300 miners

A portion of this new shipment has already been received and installations are progressing.

Marathon expects all 10,300

miners to be installed by the end of March, at which point the Company’s mining fleet will consist of 12,920 miners generating

approximately 1.4 EH/s.

With BTC at $56,600 (the price on March 12, 2021), generation of 1.4 EH/s translates into gross revenues

of $5.5 million per month.

With delivery of all 100,500 miners currently on order (which delivery and installation is expected

to be complete by January 31, 2022, Marathon expects to generate approximately 11.8 EH/s.

At the current price of BTC of $56,600,

the Company would expect to generate approximately $46.3 million per month.

also acquires bitcoin when our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments exceed current working capital requirements,

and we may from time to time, subject to favorable market conditions, issue debt or equity securities to raise capital to use

the proceeds to purchase bitcoin.

To Marathon, the strategy is to hold bitcoin as a long term investment rather than engaging

in regular trading of bitcoin or to hedge or otherwise enter into derivative contracts with respect to our bitcoin holdings, though

we may sell bitcoin in future periods as needed to generate cash for treasury management and other general corporate purposes.

Holding bitcoin is a strategy to act as a store of value, supported by a robust and public open source architecture, that is not

linked to any country’s monetary policy and can therefore serve as a hedge against inflation.

We are of the firm belief

that bitcoin offers additional opportunity for appreciation in value with increasing adoption due to its limited supply.

also explore opportunities to become involved in businesses ancillary to our bitcoin mining business as favorable market conditions

and Cryptocurrencies Generally

is a digital asset that is issued by and transmitted through an open source protocol collectively maintained by a peer-to-peer

network of decentralized user nodes.

This network hosts a public transaction ledger, known as the bitcoin blockchain, on which

bitcoin holdings and transactions in bitcoin are recorded.

Balances of bitcoin are stored in individual “wallet”

which associate network public addresses with a “private key”

that controls the transfer of bitcoin.

The bitcoin blockchain

can be updated without any single entity owning or operating the network.

New bitcoin is created and allocated by the protocol

that governs bitcoin through a “mining”

process that rewards users that verify transactions in the bitcoin blockchain.

The bitcoin protocol limits the total issuance of bitcoin over time to 21 million.

dollar, at rates of exchange

determined by market forces on bitcoin trading platforms, which operate 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week and are not regulated in

as comprehensive a manner as traditional securities exchanges.

As a result, trading on these markets is likely more subject to

manipulation than on securities markets regulated by the SEC, and pricing on these markets is likely affected by such manipulative

In addition to these platforms, over-the-counter markets and derivatives markets for bitcoin also exist;

however, these

markets are still maturing and many are unregulated.

exists entirely in electronic form, as virtually irreversible public transaction ledger entries on the blockchain, and transactions

in bitcoin are recorded and authenticated not by a central repository, but by a decentralized peer-to-peer network.

This decentralization

avoids certain threats common to centralized computer networks, such as denial of service attacks, and reduces the dependency

of the bitcoin network on any single system.

While the bitcoin network as a whole is decentralized, the private keys used to access

bitcoin balances are not widely distributed and are held on hardware (which can be physically controlled by the holder or by a

third party such as a custodian) or via software programs on third-party servers and loss of such private keys results in an inability

to access, and effective loss of, the corresponding bitcoin.

Consequently, bitcoin holdings are susceptible to all of the risks

inherent in holding any electronic data, such as power failure, data corruption, security breach, communication failure, and user

error, among others.

These risks, in turn, make bitcoin subject to theft, destruction, or loss of value from hackers, corruption,

or technology-specific factors such as viruses that do not affect conventional fiat currency.

In addition, the bitcoin network

relies on open source developers to maintain and improve the bitcoin protocol.

Accordingly, bitcoin may be subject to protocol

design changes, governance disputes such as “forked”

protocols, competing protocols, and other open source-specific

risks that do not affect conventional proprietary software.

blockchain technology is a decentralized and encrypted ledger that is designed to offer a secure, efficient, verifiable, and permanent

way of storing records and other information without the need for intermediaries.

Cryptocurrencies serve multiple purposes.

can serve as a medium of exchange, store of value or unit of account.

Examples of cryptocurrencies include:

bitcoin, bitcoin cash,

and litecoin.

Blockchain technologies are being evaluated for a multitude of industries due to the belief in their ability to

have a significant impact in many areas of business, finance, information management, and governance.

Cryptocurrencies

are decentralized currencies that enable near instantaneous transfers.

Transactions occur via an open source, cryptographic protocol

platform which uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority.

The online network hosts the public transaction

ledger, known as the blockchain, and each cryptocurrency is associated with a source code that comprises the basis for the cryptographic

and algorithmic protocols governing the blockchain.

In a cryptocurrency network, every peer has its own copy of the blockchain,

which contains records of every historical transaction - effectively containing records of all account balances.

(kept secret, like a password).

The combination of private and public cryptographic keys constitutes a secure digital identity

in the form of a digital signature, providing strong control of ownership.

single entity owns or operates the network.

The infrastructure is collectively maintained by a decentralized public user base.

As the network is decentralized, it does not rely on either governmental authorities or financial institutions to create, transmit

or determine the value of the currency units.

Rather, the value is determined by market factors, supply and demand for the units,

the prices being set in transfers by mutual agreement or barter among transacting parties, as well as the number of merchants

that may accept the cryptocurrency.

Since transfers do not require involvement of intermediaries or third parties, there are currently

little to no transaction costs in direct peer-to-peer transactions.

Units of cryptocurrency can be converted to fiat currencies,

such as the US dollar, at rates determined on various exchanges, such as Cumberland, Coinsquare (in Canada), Coinbase, Bitsquare,

Bitstamp, and others.

Cryptocurrency prices are quoted on various exchanges and fluctuate with extreme volatility.

Bitcoin is a consensus network that enables

a new payment system and a completely new form of digital money.

It is the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network that

is powered by its users with no central authority or middlemen.

From a user perspective, we believe bitcoin can be viewed as cash

for the Internet.

The bitcoin network shares a public ledger called the “blockchain.”

This ledger contains every transaction

ever processed, allowing a user’s computer to verify the validity of each transaction.

The authenticity of each transaction

is protected by digital signatures corresponding to the sending addresses, allowing all users to have full control over sending

bitcoins currency rewards from their own bitcoin addresses.

In addition, anyone can process transactions using the computing power

of specialized hardware and earn a reward in bitcoins for this service.

This process is often called “mining.”

with many new and emerging technologies, there are potentially significant risks.

Businesses (including the Company) which are

seeking to develop, promote, adopt, transact or rely upon blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies have a limited track record

and operate within an untested new environment.

These risks are not only related to the businesses the Company pursues, but the

sector and industry as a whole, as well as the entirety of the concept behind blockchain and cryptocurrency as value.

such as access to computer processing capacity, interconnectivity, electricity cost, environmental factors (such as cooling capacity)

and location play an important role in “mining,”

which is the term for using the specialized computers in connection

with the blockchain for the creation of new units of cryptocurrency.

The number of bitcoins awarded for solving a new block is automatically halved every 210,000 blocks.

Thus, the current fixed reward for solving a new block is 12.5 bitcoins per block and the reward will decrease by half to become

6.25 bitcoins around May 10, 2020 (based on estimates of the rate of block solution calculated by BitcoinClock.com).

may substantially change in the future and it is presently not possible to know how regulations will apply to our businesses,

or when they will be effective.

As the regulatory and legal environment evolves, we may become subject to new laws, further regulation

by the SEC and other agencies, which may affect our mining and other activities.

For instance, various bills have also been proposed

in Congress related to our business, which may be adopted and have an impact on us.

about the potential risks existing and future regulation pose to our business, see the Section entitled “Risk Factors”

addition, since transactions in bitcoin provide a reasonable degree of pseudo anonymity, they are susceptible to misuse for criminal

activities, such as money laundering.

This misuse, or the perception of such misuse (even if untrue), could lead to greater regulatory

oversight of bitcoin platforms, and there is the possibility that law enforcement agencies could close bitcoin platforms or other

bitcoin-related infrastructure with little or no notice and prevent users from accessing or retrieving bitcoin held via such platforms

or infrastructure.

For example, in her January 2021 nomination hearing before the Senate Finance Committee, Treasury Secretary

Janet Yellen noted that cryptocurrencies have the potential to improve the efficiency of the financial system but that they can

be used to finance terrorism, facilitate money laundering, and support malign activities that threaten U.S.

national security

interests and the integrity of the U.S.

and international financial systems.

Accordingly, Secretary Yellen expressed her view

that federal regulators needed to look closely at how to encourage the use of cryptocurrencies for legitimate activities while

curtailing their use for malign and illegal activities.

Furthermore, in December 2020, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network

(“FinCEN”), a unit of the Treasury Department focused on money laundering, proposed a new set of rules for cryptocurrency-based

exchanges aimed at reducing the use of cryptocurrencies for money laundering.

These proposed rules would require filing reports

with FinCEN regarding cryptocurrency transactions in excess of $10,000 and also impose record-keeping requirements for cryptocurrency

transactions in excess of $3,000 involving users who manage their own private keys.

In January 2021, the Biden Administration

issued a memorandum freezing federal rulemaking, including these proposed FinCEN rules, to provide additional time for the Biden

Administration to review the rulemaking that had been proposed by the Trump Administration.

As a result, it remains unclear whether

these proposed rules will take effect.

for Digital Currencies

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S.

GAAP) instruction regarding the proper accounting treatment of digital

currency assets has created uncertainty regarding the reporting and proper asset classification of digital currency holdings.

Management intends to exercise its business judgment in determining appropriate accounting treatment for the recognition of revenue

from mining of digital currencies.

Management, in conjunction with its outside public accountants and its auditors, has examined

various factors surrounding the substance of the Company’s operations and the available guidance published for public company

accounting practices in Accounting Standards Codification.

Company intends to account for its digital currency assets as indefinite life intangible assets.

An intangible asset with an indefinite

useful life is not amortized, but rather is assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances

occur which indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired.

Impairment exists when the carrying

amount exceeds its fair value.

In testing for impairment, the Company will have the option to first perform a qualitative assessment

to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists.

If it is determined that it is not more likely than

not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary.

If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required

to perform a quantitative impairment test.

To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis

of the asset.

Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted.

Realized gain or loss on the sale of digital currencies

is included in other income or expenses in the Company’s statements of operations.
