📊 Numbers you need to know
• The sale of 13,597 Bitcoins by MARA after the end of the third quarter with an approximate value of $1.1 billion
• A drop in MARA's annual mining revenue to $164.2 million, indicating a 35% decline
• A surge in the company's net profit to $632.1 million, mainly driven by paper unrealized gains
• Repayment of a $750 million Bitcoin-backed loan and the release of 17,477 Bitcoins as collateral

🔍 What 90% of the media doesn't say
The staggering surge in net profit to over $632 million is an accounting illusion on paper that relies entirely on unrealized Bitcoin gains, while in the real world, the company was forced to sell about 40% of its vital reserves to compensate for the 35% drop in operating revenue in order to settle heavy infrastructure debts

⚖️ Two sides of the coin
🟢 Management emphasizes that this move was not a pivot away from Bitcoin and aimed to enhance financial flexibility
🔴 The company's stock has plunged more than 57% over the past 12 months, and each share now carries less Bitcoin

🎯 What does it mean for your wallet?
Buying shares of other mining companies does not mean holding pure Bitcoin, because these companies spend their assets on paying debts, power plants, and artificial intelligence infrastructure
