MARA Holdings reported a total energized hashrate of 58.3 EH/s at month’s end, up from 57.3 EH/s at the end of April.

“Our fully integrated tech stack is a key differentiator, and MARA Pool is the only self-owned and operated mining pool among public miners, offering greater control and efficiency. Operating our pool means no fees to external operators and retention of the full value of block rewards. Production in May also benefitted from block reward luck,” said Fred Thiel, chairman and CEO of MARA Holdings.

MARA Holdings shares were up 5.47% at $15.15 at the time of publication Tuesday, according to Benzinga Pro.

“In May, Riot made significant progress across our bitcoin mining and data center platforms. Riot mined 514 bitcoin in May, an 11% increase over the previous month, and we will continue to prioritize operational excellence as we head into the summer months in Texas and Kentucky,” said Jason Les, CEO of Riot.
