Market Makers May Be Favorably Mispricing MARA Holdings Options: Here's How We Know
With cryptocurrencies swinging higher after a period of extended consolidation, traders who missed the boat may consider crypto-mining specialist MARA Holdings (MARA). As a digital asset technology firm, MARA stock represents an indirect play on blockchain-derived coins and tokens. Still, this could have its advantages, given that cryptos are susceptible to distinct challenges, such as exchange hacks. What makes MARA stock particularly intriguing at this hour is that it has been the subject of unusual options activity. Oftentimes, major investors use derivatives to quietly build a position. Also, the nature of options — with their myriad strategies — presents an opaque picture. With a bullish position in the open market, the intention is unambiguous. A rise in call option activity, though, has layers of interpretations.

Subscribe now for quick, incisive midday market analysis you won't find anywhere else. Still, it's always worthwhile to consider Barchart's Unusual Stock Options Volume, which showcases the top 500 most aberrant transactions relative to prior norms. On Monday, total options volume for MARA stock hit 532,269 contracts, representing a nearly 53% lift over the trailing one-month average. Call volume reached 381,694 contracts while put volume was 150,575 contracts, yielding a ratio of 0.39. On paper, the higher proportion of calls seemingly represents a positive development. However, it's always a good idea to check options flow, which filters for big block transactions likely placed by institutional investors. Yesterday, net trade sentiment clocked in at $2,169 million above parity, thus favoring the bulls. Interestingly, the biggest trade in terms of dollar volume was for $18 calls expiring Sep. 19, 2025. Given that this debit-based transaction carried an ask price of $3.40, MARA stock would need to rise to $21.40 (assuming intrinsic value) to break even. Of course, there could be hidden nuances behind this trade but the overall profile suggests an optimistic posture. While unusual options represent an important datapoint, it doesn't necessarily provide a blueprint for the two key components that options traders require in their theses: projected magnitude (y-axis) and timeframe (x-axis). These elements can be inferred but that leaves the broader concept open to a broad range of opinions. To solidify a strategy, traders can use game theory — processes to empirically determine the best time to make a move. However, like any fair competition, the rules must be the same for all competitors. In this case, the opposing side is the market itself. As such, there's no reason to give the market an advantage that simultaneously puts us at a disadvantage. One way the equities arena obfuscates the playing field is through the use of share price. Because price is a continuous signal with no defined boundaries, it's difficult (if not impossible) to conduct statistical analysis on it. How to remedy this problem? My solution is to convert the chaos of price discovery into market breadth — sequences of accumulative and distributive sessions. Essentially, market breadth answers the root question: at the end of the day (or whatever choice of time measurement), was the market a net buyer or net seller? By focusing on patterns of demand (and 'negative' demand), we can more easily identify patterns and their likelihood of transition to different behavioral states. Conducting the above exercise for MARA stock across rolling 10-week intervals reveals the following demand profile: L10 Category Up Probability Baseline Probability Median Return if Up 1-9-D 50.00% 45.45% 7.48% 2-8-D 54.17% 45.45% 8.53% 2-8-U 25.00% 45.45% 22.21% 3-7-D 33.33% 45.45% 13.10% 3-7-U 30.00% 45.45% 43.33% 4-6-D 57.14% 45.45% 6.26% 4-6-U 57.14% 45.45% 7.19% 5-5-D 54.76% 45.45% 9.98% 5-5-U 45.83% 45.45% 10.44% 6-4-D 25.00% 45.45% 2.37% 6-4-U 56.76% 45.45% 11.53% 7-3-D 50.00% 45.45% 14.07% 7-3-U 59.38% 45.45% 13.36% 8-2-U 33.33% 45.45% 11.95% In the trailing two months, MARA stock has printed a 4-6-U sequence: four up weeks, six down weeks, with a positive trajectory across the 10-week period. This sequence is rare, having materialized only 21 times since January 2019. However, the critical takeaway is that, in 57.14% of cases, the following week's price action results in upside, with a median return of 7.19%. This is also why I'm not a believer of the random walk theory. If MARA stock was truly random, none of the above sequences would matter as the long-side success ratio would hover around 50%. But that's not what we see; in fact, some 'hands' are clearly more favorable than others. So, what I'm proposing isn't some esoteric chart voodoo: I'm simply saying that it may be better to bet when the odds statistically favor you as opposed to the other way around. Armed with the above intelligence, the 19/20 bull call spread expiring Aug. 8 looks appealing. This transaction involves buying the $19 call and simultaneously selling the $20 call, for a net debit paid of $46 (the most that can be lost in the trade). Should MARA stock rise through the short strike price ($20) at expiration, the maximum reward is $54, a payout of over 117%. Primarily, what makes this idea attractive is the set of favorable cards shown to the player. As a baseline, the chance that MARA stock will rise on any given week is only 45.32%, a negative bias. However, the 4-6-U sequence tilts the odds favorably for the bullish speculator. That said, it should be noted that MARA stock can be wildly choppy. Should MARA hit its profitability target prior to expiration, traders should give consideration about exiting the spread early. Sure, that leaves time value on the board, thus eating away at the net profit. However, I would say it's better to win something rather than to lose anything, especially with a highly kinetic name like MARA.

Bitcoin Miner MARA Leads $20M Investment Round in Two Prime, Boosts BTC Yield Strategy
Two Prime, an SEC-registered investment adviser and institutional lender managing around $1.75 billion in assets, said it secured a $20 million equity investment in a round led by bitcoin (BTC) miner MARA Holdings (MARA). In addition to taking an equity stake in the firm, MARA raised the number of bitcoin allocated for participation in Two Prime's institutional yield strategies to 2,000 BTC from 500 BTC, the adviser said in a release shared with CoinDesk. The move comes as corporate, institutional, and sovereign entities intensify their interest in active bitcoin management beyond passive holding. Two Prime CEO Alexander Blume described the investment as reflecting a shift toward yield-focused strategies that meet institutional standards for risk management and transparency. By increasing the number of bitcoin allocated to Two Prime, the miner aims to transform its bitcoin holdings into an active asset that generates returns, rather than relying solely on price appreciation, MARA CFO Salman Khan said in the release. Two Prime's yield offerings are tailored for institutional investors, prioritizing capital preservation and risk-adjusted returns. The firm's lending arm was recently ranked the largest centralized-finance lender in the U.S. by Galaxy Research, signaling strong momentum as digital assets become central to treasury management. Susquehanna Crypto also participated in the funding round.

Bitcoin Price Sets Another Record as it Tops $122,000
Bitcoin surged past $120,000, continuing its run to new heights. Congress is preparing to discuss three crypto-friendly bills this week that could boost digital assets. The excitement around Bitcoin is also boosting ether, as well as shares of crypto-tied firms like Strategy, MARA Holdings and Riot (BTCUSD) traded above $120,000, continuing its run to new heights as more companies are building stockpiles of the token and as Congress prepares to discuss three crypto-friendly bills this week that could give digital assets increased legitimacy. Bitcoin is was recently a bit off recent record highs above $122,000 but still above $121,000. Its gains this year are around 30%, well above the rise of the S&P 500. Crypto-tied stocks also rose in premarket trading. Shares of software maker Strategy (MSTR), the company that has popularized the bitcoin treasury strategy, are up about 3%. Shares of crypto miners MARA Holdings (MARA) and Riot Platforms (RIOT) are gaining 4.5% and 4%, respectively. Coinbase Global (COIN) was up 1.5%. Crypto will be a topic to watch in Washington in the coming days, with the House of Representatives dubbing this "Crypto Week." A vote on the GENIUS Act, which would enable private companies to issue stablecoins— digital tokens that are backed by state currencies like the dollar—is expected. So are votes on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which would establish a framework for cryptocurrency regulation, and the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act. That latter act would prevent the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency. The rise of bitcoin is buoying other cryptocurrencies, with ether (ETHUSD), the second-largest, trading above $3,000.

Bitcoin headed for 36 more public companies by year-end: Blockware
Blockware Intelligence predicts that by the end of 2025, at least 36 more public companies will have added Bitcoin to their balance sheets. 'This is just the beginning. In the next 6 months, we expect at least three dozen more public companies to add Bitcoin to their treasury,' Blockware said in its Q3 2025 market update report. This would represent around a 25% increase from the current total of 141 public companies holding Bitcoin, according to the firm's data. Public company Bitcoin adoption surges 120% in 2025 The intelligence unit, which is the research arm of Bitcoin mining company Blockware Solutions, reported that in 2025 alone, the number of publicly traded companies holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets surged 120%. 'Bitcoin Treasury Companies are the aforementioned 'bridge' connecting equity and debt markets to Bitcoin,' the firm added. According to data, Michael Saylor's Strategy leads the pack with 597,325 BTC, holding approximately 12 times more than the second-largest holder, Bitcoin mining firm MARA Holdings, which has 50,000 BTC. However, Blockware said that the increasing number of companies joining the ranks is either newly established or facing operational challenges. 'The corporate Bitcoin adoption race is mostly being spearheaded by brand new companies or dying companies you've never heard of.' Blockware said this isn't necessarily a negative. 'Companies with struggling core businesses (low growth, dying markets) have a much easier time recognizing the simplicity of investing retained earnings into BTC and earning 40 to 60% CAGR without the operational risks of running a business,' Blockware said. Analyst warns companies considering Bitcoin 'The market is sending a strong signal: securitized Bitcoin exposure is here to stay,' the firm added. Bitwise Asset Management recently reported that corporate interest in Bitcoin reached new highs in the second quarter of 2025, with companies adding a record 159,107 BTC to their balance sheets. However, not everyone is optimistic about the significant number of companies adopting Bitcoin. Glassnode lead analyst James Check recently warned that the easy upside may already be behind new companies entering the space. 'My instinct is the Bitcoin treasury strategy has a far shorter lifespan than most expect,' Check said on July 4. On June 29, venture capital firm Breed argued in a report that only a few Bitcoin treasury companies will stand the test of time and avoid the vicious 'death spiral' that will impact BTC holding companies that trade close to net asset value (NAV). Meanwhile, crypto trader Saint Pump said in a post on X that 'I'm also pretty confident they'll play a key role in the next bear market.' 'The music stops when the NAV premium starts to slowly fall (or even turn negative with ATMs), and raises become smaller or fail altogether,' the trader added. Source:
