MARA sold 13,597 BTC for $1.1 billion and used the proceeds to repay $750 million in Bitcoin-backed loans, according to Crypto.news. The transaction marks a substantial reduction in the company’s reported Bitcoin holdings while directly linking the asset disposal to repayment of secured borrowings. The company’s third-quarter revenue totaled $164.2 million, representing a 35% decline. Crypto.news reported both the Bitcoin sale and the revenue figure, while also noting that the loan repayment formed part of the transaction. No additional outlet provided independent coverage for comparison. The development places MARA’s balance-sheet actions alongside weaker quarterly revenue. Bitcoin sales of this size can supply capital for debt obligations, but the available reporting does not specify MARA’s remaining holdings, the loan terms, or the precise sequence and timing of the sale and repayment.

Market conditions were comparatively subdued during the reported period. Bitcoin was priced at $74,690, up 0.33% over 24 hours but down 2.70% over seven days, with a market capitalization of $1.5 trillion. The broader crypto market capitalization stood at $2.56 trillion and was broadly flat; a Fear & Greed reading was unavailable.

For MARA, the figures to monitor are its remaining Bitcoin exposure, its Bitcoin-backed borrowing after the reported repayment, and whether revenue trends improve in a subsequent quarter. Bitcoin’s current price and broader market performance provide the live backdrop, but they do not change the reported $1.1 billion disposal or the 35% quarterly revenue decline.

What this means in rupee

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₹7.48M (about $74,834.00), up 1.4% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 6.5% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
