Business
of the Company
We
were incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 23, 2010 under the name Verve Ventures, Inc. As of the date of this filing,
our name has been changed to Marathon Digital Holdings, Inc. On December 7, 2011, we changed our name to American Strategic Minerals
Corporation and were engaged in exploration and potential development of uranium and vanadium minerals business. In June 2012,
we discontinued our minerals business and began to invest in real estate properties in Southern California. In October 2012, we
discontinued our real estate business when our former CEO joined the firm and we commenced our IP licensing operations, at which
time the Company’s name was changed to Marathon Patent Group, Inc. On November 1, 2017, we entered into a merger agreement
with Global Bit Ventures, Inc. (“GBV”), which is focused on mining digital assets. We have since purchased our cryptocurrency
mining machines and established a data center in Canada to mine digital assets. Following the merger, we intended to add GBV’s
existing technical capabilities and digital asset miners and expand our activities in the mining of new digital assets, while
at the same time harvesting the value of our remaining IP assets. On June 28, 2018, the board has determined that it is in the
best interests of the Company and its shareholders to allow the Amended Merger Agreement to expire on its current termination
date of June 28, 2018 without further negotiation or extension. The Board approved to issue 750,000 shares of our common stock
to GBV as a termination fee for canceling the proposed merger between the two companies. The fair value of the common stocks was
$2,850,000.

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
We
believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management
discussion and analysis:
Digital
Currencies
Digital
currencies are included in current assets in the consolidated balance sheets as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.
Digital currencies are recorded at cost less impairment.
An
intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when
events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired.
Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, which is measured using the quoted price of the digital currency
at the time its fair value is being measured. In testing for impairment, the Company has 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.
At
December 31, 2020, we carried $2.272 million of digital assets on our balance sheet, consisting of the approximately 126 bitcoins,
and held $141.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $0.001 million of digital assets and $0.7 million in cash and
cash equivalents at December 31, 2019, reflecting the shift in our liquid assets. As of March 4, 2021, we held approximately 5,035
bitcoins, of which, 4,813 bitcoins were acquired at an aggregate purchase price of $150 million at an average purchase price of
approximately $31,137 per bitcoin, inclusive of fees and expenses. We expect to purchase additional bitcoin in future periods,
though we may also sell bitcoin in future periods as needed to generate Cash Assets for treasury management purposes.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets
Management
reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an
asset to undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the
assets. Subsequent to year end, on January 14, 2021, the Company sold its inventory of approximately 5,900 S9, 13.5 TH/s miners.
As such, management determined that those crypto-currency machines were impaired by a total of $871,302 based upon an assessment
as of December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2019 we moved certain of our bitcoin miners to a new location in the
United States and recorded an impairment of $447,776 in our leasehold improvements in Canada.

We
believe that existing cash and cash equivalents held by us and cash and cash equivalents anticipated to be generated by us are
sufficient to meet working capital requirements, anticipated capital expenditures, and contractual obligations for at least the
next 12 months. As of December 31, 2020, we held approximately 125 bitcoins. Subsequent to year end, in January 2021, we purchased
over 4,800 bitcoin for approximately $150 million. We do not believe we will need to sell any of our bitcoins within the next
twelve months to meet our working capital requirements, although we may from time to time sell bitcoins as part of treasury management
operations, including to increase our cash balances. The Bitcoin market historically has been characterized by significant volatility
in its price, limited liquidity and trading volumes compared to sovereign currencies markets, relative anonymity, a developing
regulatory landscape, susceptibility to market abuse and manipulation, and various other risks inherent in its entirely electronic,
virtual form and decentralized network. During times of instability in the Bitcoin market, we may not be able to sell our bitcoins
at reasonable prices or at all. As a result, our bitcoins are less liquid than our existing cash and cash equivalents and may
not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for us to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents. In addition, upon sale of
our bitcoin, we may incur additional taxes related to any realized gains or we may incur capital losses as to which the tax deduction
may be limited.
