Shares of crypto-linked stocks and Bitcoin miners are trading lower as markets react to President Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs.

MARA Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>) shares are trading lower amid broader market weakness. The company on Thursday provided a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) production and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g44625642/mara-announces-bitcoin-production-and-mining-operation-updates-for-march-2025">mining operation update for March</a>.
What Happened: MARA Holdings said it mined 829 bitcoin in March, up 17% month-over-month from 706 bitcoin mined in February. 
Total bitcoin holdings grew to 47,531 as of the end of the month. The company&#8217;s energized hashrate increased 1% to 54.3 EH/s as of March 31. 
&#8220;Energized hashrate grew&nbsp;1%&nbsp;over February and we expect to finish construction of our 40-megawatt data center in Ohio by the end of April. We will continue to focus on being the dominant player in bitcoin mining while expanding our footprint in energy generation,&#8221; said Fred Thiel, chairman and CEO of MARA Holdings.
MARA Holdings shares are seeing some selling pressure Thursday as broader crypto markets fall with global risk assets following sweeping reciprocal tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump.
The Trump administration announced new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44621408/market-access-has-a-price-trump-unveils-list-of-tariffs-countries-targeted">tariffs</a> on several countries around the world late Wednesday, raising the risk of a global trade war and creating further economic uncertainty.
The S&amp;P 500 was last down nearly 3.5%, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. Bitcoin was down about 4.4% over a 24-hour period, trading around $82,150 at the time of writing.

What's Going On With Bitcoin Mining Stock MARA Holdings Thursday?

Mara Holdings shares are trading lower. The company provided Bitcoin production and mining operation updates for March of 2025.

Fort Lauderdale, FL, April 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=V-0nYzFaL2nHiXE8MQvul89eQUpKHI9mbKvadvKCrHeI2_s5h3R-RL4gPhAxDulc0wsznXaWrBuUjiN3QO0nDT6_i9uEokQLL5Vm6VDJIkA=">MARA Holdings, Inc.</a> (NASDAQ: <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=hgFvAausj0i1ZfS9Vgw1tw_AYTQ5E6eBzO7be50lW9S1iouX4Mod6HQjZluQpJyctURoTeOcW39mQ0ZH1oR07A==">MARA</a>) ("MARA" or the "Company"), a global leader in leveraging digital asset compute to support energy transformation, today published unaudited bitcoin ("bitcoin" or "BTC") production updates for March 2025.
Management Commentary "In March, our production saw a 17% month-over-month increase in blocks won, even as global hashrate and mining difficulty grew," said Fred Thiel, MARA's chairman and CEO. "Our bitcoin holdings surpassed 47,000 BTC during March and the 242 blocks mined were the third most in a month on record.
"MARAPool is the only self-owned and operated mining pool among public miners, offering distinctive control and efficiency. Operating our own pool means no fees to external operators, higher earnings and superior performance. MARA Pool's luck factor has exceeded the network average by over 10% since launch, meaning more blocks mined and higher rewards.
"Energized hashrate grew 1% over February and we expect to finish construction of our 40-megawatt data center in Ohio by the end of April. We will continue to focus on being the dominant player in bitcoin mining while expanding our footprint in energy generation."

MARA Announces Bitcoin Production And Mining Operation Updates For March 2025; Company Won 242 Blocks, A 17% Increase MoM. Increased Bitcoin Holdings To 47,531 BTC

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is increasingly popular <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44569292/congressman-buys-up-to-600k-in-bitcoin-etf-after-selling-1-million-in-goldman-sachs-stock-committee-assignment-could-be-red-flag">among corporate buyers</a>, with on-chain data suggesting ongoing accumulation by other large entities.
What Happened: In a detailed X <a href="https://x.com/cryptoquant_com/status/1907377531143016915">thread</a> on Wedneday, research firm CryptoQuant pointed out that despite public companies accumulating 91,781 BTC in Q1, Bitcoin dropped 12%, from $94,400 to $82,500. 
Tether emerged as a surprise buyer, adding 8,888 BTC, while Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) made the largest move, acquiring 81,785 BTC for more than $8 billion.
Other buyers included The Blockchain Company (+605 BTC), Semler Scientific Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMLR#NASDAQ">SMLR</a>) (+1,108 BTC) and Metaplanet (+2,285 BTC) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTPLF#OTC">MTPLF</a>). 
On-chain analytics shows more corporate buying could be on the horizon, with Marathon Digital (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>) planning a $2 billion stock sale for BTC purchases and GameStop (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) exploring a $1.3 billion Bitcoin strategy through a convertible note offering.
However, the price decline was driven by long-term holders selling 178,000 BTC in Q1, outweighing corporate accumulation. Additionally, $4.8 billion in Bitcoin ETF outflows added further downward pressure on price.

Why It Matters: Glassnode data listed several bullish indicators for Bitcoin:
<ul>
<li>Retail investors (under 1 BTC) are <a href="https://x.com/glassnode/status/1907358419859669116">offloading</a> while whales (10+ BTC) accumulate, highlighting a divergence in investor sentiment.</li>
<li>Bitcoin holders in the 3–6-month range (nearing long-term holder status) are <a href="https://x.com/glassnode/status/1906713577471234255">holding</a> strong despite volatility. Spending activity from this group is at its lowest since mid-2021, suggesting conviction, not panic selling.</li>
<li>BTC holders from 2020-2022 are still <a href="https://x.com/glassnode/status/1907001005251625160">holding</a> significant wealth, despite a 3% decline in their share since the November 2024 peak.</li>
</ul>

MARA Holdings Unusual Options Activity For April 01

The Trump family is stepping deeper into the world of digital assets, this time with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/03/44558573/president-trumps-sons-partner-with-hut-8-to-unveil-american-bitcoin-for-large-scale-bitcoin-mining">a strategic bet on</a> Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) mining.
What Happened: Following the foray into decentralized finance with the family-incepted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44475966/trump-backed-world-liberty-financial-confirms-dollar-stablecoin-plans-with-bitgo">World Liberty Financial</a> (WLFI) and the controversial TRUMP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44555553/will-the-greatest-of-them-all-trump-memecoin-make-its-way-to-trump-media-etfs-polymarket-bettors-think-its-unlike">meme coin</a>, which famously <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43590115/trump-meme-coin-left-a-sour-taste-in-traders-mouths-10x-research">left behind a flurry of disillusioned traders</a>, the Trump family has set its sights on Bitcoin mining.
American Bitcoin, a newly formed mining company, will be led in part by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., marking yet another addition to their rapidly growing crypto-centric business portfolio, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/currencies/the-trump-family-advances-its-all-out-crypto-blitz-this-time-with-bitcoin-mining-86a1e8d9?mod=hp_lead_pos6">according </a>to The Wall Street Journal. 
American Bitcoin will be formed through a merger with American Data Centers, a venture the Trump brothers launched in February alongside Dominari, a boutique investment firm that recently brought both sons on as advisers. 
As part of the deal, the Canada- and U.S.-listed crypto-infrastructure firm Hut 8 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUT#NASDAQ">HUT</a>) will transfer around 61,000 mining machines to American Bitcoin, taking an 80% stake in the joint venture. 
No cash was exchanged in the transaction.
Eric Trump, who will serve as the company's Chief Strategy Officer, said the mission is to build the world's largest Bitcoin miner, complete with its own reserve of the digital currency. 
He emphasized that this project remains separate from the family's real estate empire, the Trump Organization, but noted that collaborations with WLFI could emerge in the future.
"We're a hard-asset family," Trump told The Wall Street Journal. "Bitcoin is the next frontier for building something tangible in the digital world."

Why It Matters: World Liberty Financial, which the Trump brothers launched recently, is a decentralized finance project that has already rolled out meme coins and plans to issue a stablecoin backed by the World Liberty dollar.
American Bitcoin's executive team will feature a mix of familiar and new faces. 
Mike Ho, Chief Strategy Officer at Hut 8, will take on the role of executive chairman, while Matt Prusak, formerly of Hut 8, will serve as CEO. High-profile backers including Tinder co-founder Justin Mateen and FabFitFun's Michael Broukhim will join the board alongside Hut 8 executives.
Hut 8 will host the mining equipment across its 11 data centers and include the performance of American Bitcoin in its financial statements. 
The company's CEO Asher Genoot noted that access to cheap energy and efficient infrastructure will give American Bitcoin a cost edge in an increasingly competitive landscape.
"There's still more than a century's worth of mining left," Genoot said. "Our ability to do it cheaply at scale is our strategic advantage."
The Trump-led venture enters a market that's tightening. 
Bitcoin supply is capped at 21 million, and more than 90% has already been mined. 
Despite volatility and environmental critiques surrounding mining energy consumption, Eric Trump sees opportunity in the U.S.'s falling energy prices and crypto-friendly stance. "That's what gives America the edge," he said. "A government that supports low-cost energy and innovation."

Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

This Is What Whales Are Betting On MARA Holdings

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/03/44354793/bitcoin-miners-hit-rock-bottom-valuations-slip-below-key-average-for-first-time-in-a-year">miners have faced a challenging year</a>, but analysts at Bernstein remain optimistic, driven by a blend of AI opportunities and Bitcoin's valuation support.
What Happened: In a report released on Thursday, Bernstein analysts revised their models for major Bitcoin mining companies, reflecting shifts in hash rates, AI/high-performance computing (HPC) prospects, and steady Bitcoin price forecasts.
The report highlights a growing institutional focus on miners' AI potential, even as their stock performance lags behind Bitcoin's year-to-date correction.
The Bernstein note points out that despite a 20-40% decline in miner stocks this year—outpacing Bitcoin's 10% drop—cheap valuations and positive EBITDA projections for 2025 justify their Outperform ratings on several firms. 
The analysts point to updated hash rate estimates, power reallocations toward AI/HPC, and new contracts as key drivers behind their revised price targets for miners.
For Core Scientific (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CORZ#NASDAQ">CORZ</a>), Bernstein set a price target of $17, down from an earlier estimate but still reflecting a 150.3% potential upside from its March 19 closing price of $8.68.
The firm's confidence stems from CORZ's robust 590 MW data center contracts with CoreWeave, a significant player in AI computing. 
"Almost 45% of CoreWeave's contracted power capacity is contributed by CORZ, highlighting this power dependence," the report states, dismissing fears of an AI capex slowdown that triggered a 40% correction in CORZ's stock.
Riot Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIOT#NASDAQ">RIOT</a>) saw its price target adjusted to $19 from $22, implying a 146.9% upside from $7.78, as the company reallocates 600 MW of its 2 GW Corsicana site power portfolio toward AI/HPC uses, pausing Bitcoin mining expansion. 
Analysts noted, "RIOT with its 2 GW power portfolio is attractively positioned, however, the stock would need a catalyst in form of progress on securing an AI co-location partner for the Corsicana site."
CleanSpark (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLSK#NASDAQ">CLSK</a>) and Iris Energy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IREN#NASDAQ">IREN</a>) also received Outperform ratings with price targets of $20 each, down from $30 and $26, respectively, reflecting higher industry hash rates squeezing market share and cash flows. 
CLSK's target suggests a 170% upside from $8.01, while IREN's implies a 174.9% gain from $7.20. 
Marathon Digital (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>), rated Market-Perform, holds a $23 target, up from its $12.53 close, offering a 153.7% upside.

Why It Matters: Bernstein's Bitcoin price forecast remains unchanged at $200,000 by Q4, providing a valuation floor for miners holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets.
The report cites a 30% hash rate increase since April 2024's halving, pressuring production, alongside strategic pivots to AI/HPC as key model updates. 
For CORZ, an additional 70 MW critical IT load contract with CoreWeave bolsters its $10 billion revenue potential over 12 years, though delivery delays push significant HPC revenue to 2026.
"We value CORZ using SOTP approach with 2 major components – 1. EV of the Bitcoin mining business; 2. EV of the AI data center business," the analysts explained, projecting AI/HPC to contribute 45% of CORZ's enterprise value by 2025. 
The firm expects CORZ to double its critical IT load to 1.3 GW by 2027, leveraging existing sites and new acquisitions like a 66 MW facility in Auburn, Alabama.
The report also details CORZ's power strategy, with 1.3 GW currently across 10 U.S. sites, allocating 900 MW to AI/HPC and 400 MW to mining. Recent expansions, including 70 MW at Denton and Muskogee, underscore its execution edge. 
Meanwhile, RIOT's vast power capacity awaits an AI partner to unlock its potential, while CLSK and IREN grapple with competitive hash rate pressures.
Despite miners' underperformance—lagging Bitcoin's gains in Q4 2024 and correcting more sharply in 2025—Bernstein sees long-term value. 
The interplay of AI infrastructure demand and Bitcoin's commodity cycle positions these firms for recovery, with CORZ and RIOT highlighted as compelling bets.

現物型イーサリアムETFが承認された。現物型ビットコインに続いて2つ目のETF承認となった。仮想通貨市場全体は現物型ETFの承認を好感し、強気相場を形成、大きな上昇を記録した。その一方、当のイーサリアムは大幅な売り圧に苦しむ相場状況となった。
<h3>ビットコインアナリスト「承認は早かった」</h3>
ビットコインの投資アナリストは、現物型イーサリアムETFが早すぎるタイミングで市場に導入されたと考えている。新たな資金が流入しない場合、ビットコインの価格にリスクをもたらす可能性があると指摘している。
ビットコインの投資アナリストに限らず、仮想通貨市場全体でそのような声が上がっている。カブリオール・インベストメントの創設者であるチャールズ・エドワード氏は2024年の現物型ETF市場と仮想通貨市場の相関性を元に下記のように述べた。
「2024年は現物型ビットコインETFのみで良かった」とコインテレグラフに話す。
新規承認を受けた現物型イーサリアムETFはまだ安定していないETF市場の投資家の注意を逸らすだけだと主張している。
現物型ETFは7月23日に正式に導入された。現物型ETF市場においても、ビットコインの優位性はイーサリアムを超えており、比較的安定している。トレーディングビューのデータによれば、過去24時間で0.07%上昇している。現物型ビットコインETFは7月23日の初日取引日に7800万ドルの純流出を記録したが、その後2日間でそれぞれ4450万ドルと3110万ドルの流入があった。
