Fort Lauderdale, FL, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MARA Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MARA ) ('MARA' or the 'Company'), a vertically integrated digital energy and infrastructure company that leverages high-intensity compute, such as bitcoin mining, to monetize excess energy and optimize power management, today published unaudited bitcoin ('bitcoin' or 'BTC') production updates for May 2025.
Management Commentary
'May was a record-breaking month for MARA with 282 blocks won, a 38% increase over April and a new monthly high,' said Fred Thiel, MARA's chairman and CEO. 'Our total bitcoin holdings surpassed 49,000 BTC during May and the 950 bitcoin produced were the most since the halving event in April 2024.
'Our fully integrated tech stack is a key differentiator, and MARA Pool is the only self-owned and operated mining pool among public miners, offering greater control and efficiency. Operating our pool means no fees to external operators and retention of the full value of block rewards. Production in May also benefitted from block reward luck. Since launch, MARA Pool's block reward luck has outperformed the network average by over 10%, contributing to our industry-leading block production.
'We remain laser-focused on transforming MARA into a vertically integrated digital energy and infrastructure company. We believe this model gives us tighter operational control, improves cost-efficiency, and makes us more resilient to shifts in the broader economy.'

CoreDAO brings 5% yield to Bitcoin without giving up self-custody

CoreDAO brings 5% yield to Bitcoin without giving up self-custody originally appeared on TheStreet. At the Bitcoin 2025 conference, Rich Rines of CoreDAO told TheStreet Roundtable that Bitcoin holders no longer have to pick between security and yield. Bitcoin, like any financial product, has a variety of different yield opportunities that are available,' Rines said. He pointed to the failures of centralized lenders like BlockFi and Celsius, which exposed investors to significant counterparty risk. That collapse, he explained, inspired CoreDAO's push for a self-custodial alternative. Founded in 2022, CoreDAO offers self-custodial Bitcoin staking, letting users earn up to 5% yield without giving up their keys. Secured by 75% of Bitcoin's hash rate, its sidechain unlocks access to 150+ DeFi apps while maintaining BTC-level security. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $105,133, marking a 0.76% drop in the past 24 hours and down 1.99% on the week, according to Kraken price feeds. The world's largest cryptocurrency is currently 5.8% below its all-time high of $111,814, reached on May 22. CoreDAO's staking solution lets users lock up their Bitcoin without relinquishing custody. 'Time lock your Bitcoin. So it never leaves your Bitcoin wallet. You always have those keys,' Rines explained. Bitcoin must be locked for at least one day, introducing only liquidity risk, with yields of up to 5%. 'If you stake your Bitcoin in the Core ecosystem, you can earn up to 5%,' he said, adding that Core's sidechain is secured by nearly 75% of Bitcoin's total hash rate—giving stakers added confidence. Advanced users can go beyond staking, bridging or wrapping their BTC into Core's EVM-compatible DeFi environment with access to over 150 protocols for lending, trading, and liquidity. Rines highlighted CoreDAO's dual staking model, which offers enhanced returns for users who stake both BTC and CORE tokens. 'Most of these protocols are just either yield or they're an ecosystem. They're not both,' he said. CoreDAO combines the two. He also revealed a strategic partnership with Maple Finance, calling it a strong institutional gateway. 'Maple is the leader in institutional DeFi and they've been on a tear recently,' Rines said. Maple already secures over 2,000 BTC, and Core's 5% yield makes it 'one plus one equals three.' With a liquid staking token (LST) on the way, Rines expects broader utility. 'This new base level primitive built off Core's liquidity infrastructure for Bitcoin' could enable strategies like basis trading and call overwriting. He estimates $1.5 billion in BTC inflows by year-end.

Chinese Firm Webus' Stock Jumps After Filing With SEC for $300M XRP Strategic Reserve

China-based Webus International (WETO) filed a Form 6-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday with plans to build a $300 million XRP-focused corporate treasury. The filing follows an earlier May announcement by the firm, which aims to fund the initiative using loans and credit facilities rather than new share issuances. Webus plans to integrate Ripple's payment network into its business, aiming to streamline cross-border payments and improve booking transparency across its global chauffeur services. The announcement follows VivoPower International's plans to build a $121 million XRP treasury, indicative of growing interest from corporations in the fourth-largest token by market cap. The financing plan is non-binding and subject to final agreements and due diligence. The provider of customizable car and touring services for travelers worldwide added that it was renewing a partnership with Tongcheng Travel Holdings, one of China's largest online travel agencies, to extend their 'Wetour x Tongcheng' charter lines, stating they would aim to use the XRP Ledger to settle cross-border rides and driver payouts. XRP is up 2% in the past 24 hours, alongside muted gains in the broader crypto market. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq-listed firm's shares rose about 9% in early trading on Wednesday.

Bitcoin Liquidity Crunch Points to Fresh Volatility as New Cycle Builds: Sygnum Bank

Bitcoin's BTC circulating supply is thinning out with an estimated 30% drop in liquid BTC over the last 18 months, a steep drain that could set the stage for potential upside volatility in the coming months, a Sygnum Bank's market outlook said Tuesday. 'Bitcoin's liquid supply is getting severely constrained while positive demand trends continue, creating the foundation for upside shocks in the price,' analysts wrote, adding the rise of ETF inflows, along with governments increasingly open to bitcoin reserves, is fueling speculation about a 'demand shock' scenario, where too many buyers chase too few coins. Over a million BTC has been withdrawn from exchanges since late 2023, Sygnum said, with ETFs and corporate treasuries driving the hoarding. That's putting added pressure on traders who need liquidity to exit during spikes or to cover shorts. Meanwhile, Bitcoin's role as a safe haven is getting a fresh boost from turmoil in U.S. Treasurys and a weakening dollar. Sygnum flagged that falling U.S. Treasury prices and ballooning federal debt are pushing investors back toward gold and bitcoin. The crypto's resilience in the face of these fiscal headwinds suggests it's becoming a go-to hedge. The report also highlighted new demand catalysts emerging on the geopolitical front, such as three U.S. states have now passed Bitcoin reserve bills, with New Hampshire already signed one into law, while Texas appears next in line. Overseas, Pakistan and even a U.K. party front-runner are weighing official BTC reserve allocations. These moves, while symbolic for now, could eventually add a major bid to the market if they materialize. The bottom line is that the ongoing crypto cycle looks far from over.
