Bitcoin Bottom Unconfirmed as Peter Brandt Flags Bear Channel

MARA Holdings still has in its coffers 35,303 Bitcoin valued at roughly $2.84 
billion, making it the fourth largest corporate Bitcoin holder in the world. 
But that position comes after the company sold a significant chunk of its 
reserves — and investors took notice. Related Reading: Crypto Firm Exodus 
Drains 63% Of Its Bitcoin Reserves As Q1 Loss Doubled Year Over Year A Rough 
Quarter By The Numbers MARA&#8217;s stock dropped 5% during Tuesday&#8217;s trading 
session, touching an intraday low of $11.74 before closing around $12.65. 
After-hours trading brought another 1.85% decline. The sell-off followed the 
release of the company&#8217;s first-quarter 2026 earnings, which showed a net loss 
of $1.26 billion — more than double the $533 million loss recorded in the same 
period last year. Revenue came in at $175 million, down 18% from a year ago, 
partly due to falling Bitcoin prices. During the quarter, MARA sold 20,880 BTC 
worth nearly $1.5 billion. A large portion of those sales — 15,133 BTC sold 
between March 4 and March 25 for about $1 billion — went toward buying back 
convertible notes. About $1 billion of the proceeds were used to reduce the 
company&#8217;s convertible debt load from $3.3 billion to $2.3 billion, a reduction 
of roughly 30%. That transaction generated a $71 million gain from debt 
extinguishment. Shifting Away From Mining MARA is making a clear move away 
from aggressive Bitcoin mining. Officials said the company does not plan to 
make large-scale purchases of ASIC mining hardware going forward. About 90% of 
its non-hosted mining capacity can reportedly be converted into AI and IT 
infrastructure. The company said its strategy centers on placing new 
infrastructure alongside existing Bitcoin mining operations, allowing it to 
generate revenue from power assets while drawing on its operational experience 
in mining. The company is also cutting 15% of its workforce, a move expected 
to save $12 million annually. The biggest move, though, is the acquisition of 
Long Ridge Energy from FTAI Infrastructure. The deal is valued at close to 
$1.5 billion, including about $785 million in debt, and marks the largest 
acquisition in MARA&#8217;s history. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bulls Awaken As Rare 
Golden Cross Signal Flashes On Charts Long Ridge operates a 505-megawatt 
combined-cycle gas power plant in Ohio and sits on more than 1,600 contiguous 
acres. MARA projects $144 million in annualized EBITDA from the asset. Stock 
Performance In Context Despite Tuesday&#8217;s drop, MARA shares are up 30% over the 
past month. Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, continues to buy 
while MARA sells and restructures — a contrast that reflects how differently 
companies in the space are approaching the current environment. Featured image
