Mara bitcoin miner pursues purchase of Texas power site to accelerate AI expansion
Mara Holdings shares rose about 15 percent early after it announced plans to buy a Texas power site to expand digital infrastructure for AI computing and bitcoin mining. The site is a 1,200-acre tract in Matagorda County with access rights of up to 2 gigawatts, with an initial 1 gigawatt expected by October 2027. Mara said the project is early-stage and subject to regulatory approvals, with phased construction over several years.
