MARA Sets Post-Halving Record With Highest Bitcoin Production Since January 2024
MARA Holdings (MARA) said it produced 950 bitcoin BTC last month, the most since January 2024 and 35% more than in April, while setting a new company record by winning 282 blocks, up 38% month-over-month. The record, powered by MARA's proprietary MARA Pool, also comes after the payout for verifying blocks and adding them to the blockchain was halved in April 2024. MARA Pool is the only self-owned and self-managed mining pool among public miners, which enables the company to retain 100% of block rewards and has consistently outperformed the network average in block reward luck by over 10%. The company's realized hashrate climbed to an estimated 58.1 exahashes per second (EH/s) in May, a 30% increase from April, bringing it near all-time highs, the company said in a post on its website. The performance boost to a broader industry trend, as MARA, CleanSpark (CLSK) and Riot Platforms (RIOT) collectively increased their realized hashrate by 15.5%, driving the Bitcoin network difficulty to an all-time high and compressing hashprice gains seen earlier in the month. Despite the rising competition and difficulty, MARA held all of its May production, bringing total BTC holdings to 49,179. In the post, CEO Fred Thiel credited the company's vertically integrated model for improving operational control and cost-efficiency, enabling MARA to scale efficiently and remain resilient amid shifting market dynamics.

The American Diabetes Association and The Leapfrog Group Honor 36 Hospitals for Exceptional Inpatient Care
Awards given to hospitals nationwide for leadership in caring for the 30% of inpatient Americans who are living with diabetes ARLINGTON, Va., June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the American Diabetes Association® (ADA) and The Leapfrog Group named 36 hospitals across 12 states as 2025 Recognized Leaders in Caring for People Living with Diabetes. The award recognizes each hospital's strong commitment to the safety and well-being of hospitalized people living with diabetes—estimated to be 30% of all people who are inpatient nationwide. Now in its second year, the number of award recipients has more than doubled, reflecting a growing nationwide commitment to addressing the unique risks faced by people with diabetes who are hospitalized. 'We congratulate these hospitals for demonstrating their commitment to patient safety and improving the lives of people living with diabetes. Moving evidence-based standards of care into practice opens doors to improved quality outcomes for people living with diabetes,' said Osagie Ebekozien, MD, MPH, the ADA's chief quality officer. Every year, approximately 8 million Americans living with diabetes are hospitalized and face heightened risks of severe complications, including amputations, comas, and even death. Errors in medication administration, inadequate discharge planning, or exposure to hospital-acquired infections can have particularly devastating consequences for this vulnerable population. 'Protecting people from medical errors and infections is a major challenge in American hospitals, and it's even more of challenge when a person is living with diabetes. So much can go wrong so quickly,' said Leah Binder, MA, MGA, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group, an independent national watchdog focused on patient safety. 'We congratulate this year's recognized leaders for their pioneering approach to ensuring vigilance in protecting these people, and we encourage other hospitals to apply to be a Recognized Leader next year.' The first-of-its-kind designation program evaluates hospitals based on their care for people with diabetes during admission, stay, and discharge. The program operationalizes the ADA's globally recognized guidelines for the treatment of people with diabetes, the Standards of Care in Diabetes—2025, along with Leapfrog's standards for excellence in hospital safety and quality. Recognized hospitals provide safe, high-quality care for people living with diabetes, by implementing blood glucose (blood sugar) testing and hypoglycemia protocols, specialized preparation for inpatient surgery, meals and insulin regimen planning, and robust discharge planning for high-risk people with diabetes. Hospitals are assessed both in the implementation of these processes and structures, and on how well they execute on the standard of care delivered to a random sample of individuals. Hospitals earning the Recognized Leader in Caring for People Living with Diabetes designation include: California: Eden Medical Center Eisenhower Medical Center Loma Linda University Medical Center Loma Linda University Medical Center East Campus Mills-Peninsula Medical Center UCI Health Colorado: Denver Health Medical Center Florida: AdventHealth Waterman Orlando Health South Lake Hospital Louisiana: St. Tammany Health System New Jersey: Hackensack Meridian Hackensack University Medical Center Hackensack Meridian Jersey Shore University Medical Center Shore Medical Center New York: Glen Cove Hospital Plainview Hospital Syosset Hospital North Carolina: Novant Health Matthews Medical Center Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center Novant Health Huntersville Medical Center Novant Health Thomasville Medical Center Novant Health Kernersville Medical Center Novant Health Mint Hill Medical Center Ohio: The Christ Hospital Pennsylvania: Geisinger Bloomsburg Hospital Geisinger Community Medical Center Geisinger Jersey Shore Hospital Geisinger Lewistown Hospital Geisinger Medical Center Geisinger Medical Center Muncy Geisinger Shamokin Area Community Hospital Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center Thomas Jefferson University Hospital Tennessee: Maury Regional Hospital Texas: Texas Health Huguley Hospital Titus Regional Medical Center Washington: EvergreenHealth The applications for 2026 recognition opens July 1 and submissions are due January 31, 2026.
