Crypto Economy reports that MARA sold about 13,597 BTC after September and used part of the proceeds to repay Bitcoin-backed debt. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at ₹69,35,074 ($73,833.00), down 0.5% since this brief published. This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by Crypto Economy, with live market data added, as of Tue, 10 Nov 2026 14:15:01 UTC.
The reported sale would mark a major change at one of the largest Bitcoin-linked corporate holders, releasing collateral while reducing exposure to the price of its mined reserves.
- MARA reportedly sold 13,597 BTC for approximately $1.1 billion.
- The sale represented roughly 40% of its Bitcoin holdings at the time.
- $750 million in proceeds reportedly repaid Bitcoin-backed loans.
- Bitcoin trades at $74,223, down 0.90% over 24 hours.
MARA reportedly sold 13,597 BTC worth approximately $1.1 billion after September, according to Crypto Economy. The disposals represented roughly 40% of the company’s 
Bitcoin holdings at that time and departed from its earlier approach of retaining coins produced through mining.
Crypto Economy says MARA applied $750 million from the sale proceeds to repay loans backed by Bitcoin. That repayment released 17,477 BTC from collateral, reducing the amount pledged and changing the company’s balance-sheet position following the large sale. The report also links the broader capital-raising move to AI infrastructure, although the summary provides no separate amount for that use.
This is the only supplied outlet coverage, so the transaction figures, collateral release and strategic rationale have not been independently corroborated within the source set. Crypto Economy characterizes the sale as a significant policy shift for MARA, whose previous practice emphasized retaining mined Bitcoin rather than selling it.
Live market data show Bitcoin trading at $74,223, down 0.90% over 24 hours and 3.46% over seven days. Its market capitalization stands at $1.49 trillion, while the broader crypto market is valued at $2.54 trillion and is broadly flat. The Fear & Greed index is at 32, placing sentiment in the Fear category.
The reported sale gives investors a concrete measure of MARA’s reduced Bitcoin exposure and lower pledged collateral. With the company now having sold a substantial portion of its holdings, subsequent disclosures on debt repayment, collateral conditions and its AI infrastructure plans would help clarify how the capital is being deployed and what remains of its mined-Bitcoin position.

The chart plots BTC's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₹7.38M (about $73,833.00), down 0.9% 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.
