The purchase of two <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/bitcoin-rebounds-above-43k-level-as-bulls-make-a-comeback/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> mining facilities for $178.6 million was announced by Marathon Digital Holdings. The impending halving of the Bitcoin mining payout in 2024 is a major factor in this strategic acquisition by Generate Capital, which is expected to significantly enhance Marathon’s mining capacity.
The capacity of <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/bitcoin-news-marathon-digital-misses-q2-2023-forecasts-despite-81-8m-revenue/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Marathon</a> is increased by a total of 390 megawatts by these recently purchased facilities in Nebraska and Texas.

In the past, external data centers provided 97% of Marathon’s capacity. The purchase will provide the firm a substantial boost to its autonomy because it would own and operate 45 percent of its 910 megawatts.
The goal of the arrangement is to increase profitability for Marathon by lowering the cost of mining a single Bitcoin by 30%. There is 82 MW of available capacity at the locations, therefore there is room for rapid development.
In addition, Marathon intends to install more gear when current hosting prospects leave, with the goal of doubling its operating hash rate to 50 exahashes in the two years that follow.
