The recent expansion added 67,000 more residents to its heating network.According to its June <a href="https://x.com/MARAHoldings/status/1803798769298756000" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">statement</a>, the miner utilizes district heating technology, which provides a practical way to address the surplus heat generated by Bitcoin mining. The system centrally heats water and efficiently channels it through underground pipelines to warm homes.According to Companiesmarketcap <a href="https://companiesmarketcap.com/marathon-digital-holdings/marketcap/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">data</a>, Marathon is valued at approximately $7 billion and is the world’s leading Bitcoin mining company. It holds a prominent position in the crypto space as the second-largest publicly listed entity in Bitcoin ownership, with 44,394 BTC secured on its balance sheet.<h2 id="header-0">Stakeholders hail Marathon</h2>Venture Capitalist Daniel Batten highlighted the significance of the milestone, <a href="https://x.com/DSBatten/status/1870106161434759335" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stating</a>:<blockquote>“Bitcoin Mining Heat recycling is not an edge case any more, it’s a real thing, been done at increasing scale. 80,000 homes heated through Bitcoin mining is significant, and its just the start of what’s possible.”</blockquote>Similarly, Bitcoiner Thomas Brand said this approach mitigates the environmental impact of mining operations and aligns with Finland’s long-term climate objectives. He <a href="https://x.com/thlbr/status/1870137371167015251" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">added</a>:<blockquote>“Finland’s electricity production profile is very attractive from the perspective of industrial large-scale flexibilities, as there is little large-scale consumption flexibility (this can be seen directly from the fluctuation of electricity prices &amp; the explosive growth of weak hourly prices).”</blockquote>Meanwhile, Marathon’s commitment to sustainability goes beyond heat recycling. Earlier this month, the company acquired a wind farm in Hansford County, Texas, to strengthen its renewable energy portfolio.The firm stated that this acquisition would help reduce energy costs, alleviate grid congestion, and promote the broader adoption of renewable energy.The post <a href="https://cryptosnewss.com/bitcoin-mining-meets-sustainability-marathon-digitals-finnish-breakthrough/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin Mining Meets Sustainability: Marathon Digital&#39;s Finnish Breakthrough</a> appeared first on <a href="https://cryptosnewss.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cryptos Newss</a>.
