Bitcoin mining company MARA Holdings is urging U.S. policymakers to take bold steps to secure the nation’s dominance in cryptocurrency mining. The company has outlined a comprehensive government strategy for blockchain and cryptocurrency technology to achieve this goal.
MARA (Marathon Digital Holdings), the largest U.S.-based Bitcoin mining company, recently raised $1 billion to expand its BTC holdings. The company highlights the critical link between economic resilience in times of geopolitical uncertainty and strategic cryptocurrency mining.
According to MARA, Bitcoin's unique attributes—such as its fixed supply and decentralized monetary policy—position the U.S. to strengthen both its economic stability and national security.
Bitcoin continues to prove itself as a scarcer asset than gold, underscoring the need for the U.S. to take the lead in Bitcoin ownership, much as it has done with gold.
With more countries recognizing Bitcoin’s potential as a reserve asset (China, for instance, has already amassed approximately 190,000 BTC), the U.S. must act decisively and swiftly to maintain its dominance in the digital commodities sector.

MARA Holdings underscores the strategic importance of Bitcoin mining in achieving these goals.
A nation that commands a substantial share of the global Bitcoin hash rate secures its transactional sovereignty and protects its economic and national security from external threats. By maintaining control over the hash rate, a country can prioritize access to the blockchain and prevent hostile states from censoring or manipulating its transactions.

The mining giant is calling for swift and decisive action.
To achieve this, MARA Holdings proposes the following steps:
- Acquiring a substantial amount of BTC to serve as a strategic reserve asset.
- Investing heavily in domestic cryptocurrency mining infrastructure.
- Establishing clear and comprehensive regulations to ensure legal certainty for miners.
- Strengthening national security by maintaining control over Bitcoin’s hash rate.
MARA Holdings representatives firmly believe that strategic investments in mining facilities and hash rate control are crucial measures to safeguard U.S. national security and sovereignty. They emphasize that lawmakers must recognize Bitcoin and its mining as critical elements of the nation's financial and geopolitical strategy.
MARA Holdings has been aggressively increasing its Bitcoin reserves, following a long-term holding strategy similar to that of MicroStrategy. In July, the company invested $100 million to purchase additional BTC, committing to hold the mined coins rather than selling them immediately.
In August, MARA announced the issuance of $250 million in convertible bonds to fund further Bitcoin acquisitions via OTC platforms. The offering was met with high demand, enabling the company to increase the deal size to $300 million.
