Marathon Digital, a leading <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/cryptocurrencies/bitcoin/">Bitcoin</a> mining company in the United States, witnessed a significant increase in its revenues in 2023, leading to a profit.

On February 28, Marathon Digital released its fourth-quarter and annual earnings report, disclosing a record revenue of $387.5 million in 2023, a 229% increase from the previous year. 
Marathon CEO Fred Thiel stated that 2023 was a record-breaking year for the company, during which it achieved its primary objectives of energizing its fleet of previously purchased mining rigs and optimizing its performance. 
The company’s fourth-quarter revenue rose by 452% to $156.8 million, surpassing analyst estimates and marking a significant increase from $28.4 million in Q4 2022. 
Analysts had predicted a quarterly revenue of $148.8 million. 
The hike in revenue was attributed to a 172% increase in Bitcoin production year-over-year, along with approximately double the average Bitcoin price during the period. 
The company sold 56% of the Bitcoin it produced during the quarter to cover operating costs. 
Adjusted EBITDA improved to $260 million in Q4, 2023, from a loss of $374 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. 
In 2023, Marathon’s Bitcoin production increased by 210% to a record 12,852 BTC. 
Furthermore, its energized hash rate increased by 253% to 24.7 EH/s (exahashes per second) in 2023 from just 7.0 EH/s the previous year. 
Thiel commented on the company’s earnings call, stating that while 2023 was a banner year for Marathon, the company has never been more optimistic about Marathon’s future. 
Salman Khan, Marathon’s Chief Financial Officer, added that the company entered 2024 with a strong balance sheet that positions it well for the upcoming halving and beyond. 
Despite the positive earnings report, the company’s shares dipped 6.7% on the day to $28.95 in after-hours trading on Feb. 29. 
However, shares in the mining giant have surged more than 300% over the past 12 months. 
Recently, Marathon announced that it was incubating and developing a Bitcoin layer-2 sidechain platform called Anduro as it branches out from crypto mining.
