This report on Form 10-Q ("Report") and other written and oral statements made
from time to time by us may contain so-called "forward-looking statements," all
of which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can
be identified by the use of words such as "expects," "plans," "will,"
"forecasts," "projects," "intends," "estimates," and other words of similar
meaning. One can identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to
historical or current facts. These statements are likely to address our growth
strategy, financial results and product and development programs. One must
carefully consider any such statement and should understand that many factors
could cause actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements. These
factors may include inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of other risks
and uncertainties, including some that are known and some that are not. No
forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual future results may vary
materially.



Information regarding market and industry statistics contained in this Report is
included based on information available to us that we believe is accurate. It is
generally based on industry and other publications that are not produced for
purposes of securities offerings or economic analysis. We have not reviewed or
included data from all sources, and cannot assure investors of the accuracy or
completeness of the data included in this Report. Forecasts and other
forward-looking information obtained from these sources are subject to the same
qualifications and the additional uncertainties accompanying any estimates of
future market size, revenue and market acceptance of products and services. We
do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statement. As a
result, investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements.



The following discussion and analysis is intended as a review of significant
factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations for the
periods indicated. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our
consolidated financial statements and the notes presented herein. In addition to
historical information, the following Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ
significantly from those expressed, implied or anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors discussed herein and
any other periodic reports filed and to be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.



Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements





This report and other documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission contain forward-looking statements that are based on current
expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about our future performance,
our business, our beliefs and our management's assumptions. Statements that are
not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Words such as "expect,"
"outlook," "forecast," "would," "could," "should," "project," "intend," "plan,"
"continue," "sustain", "on track", "believe," "seek," "estimate," "anticipate,"
"may," "assume," and variations of such words and similar expressions are often
used to identify such forward-looking statements, which are made pursuant to the
safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
These forward- looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and
involve risks, assumptions and uncertainties, including, but not limited to,
those described in our reports that we file or furnish with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties
materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results
may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking
statements. Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.
Except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update
publicly any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as
a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise.

Business of the Company



We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 23, 2010 under the name
Verve Ventures, Inc. As of the date of this filing, our name has been changed to
Marathon Digital Holdings, Inc. On December 7, 2011, we changed our name to
American Strategic Minerals Corporation and were engaged in exploration and
potential development of uranium and vanadium minerals business. In June 2012,
we discontinued our minerals business and began to invest in real estate
properties in Southern California. In October 2012, we discontinued our real
estate business when our former CEO joined the firm and we commenced our IP
licensing operations, at which time the Company's name was changed to Marathon
Patent Group, Inc. On November 1, 2017, we entered into a merger agreement with
Global Bit Ventures, Inc. ("GBV"), which is focused on mining digital assets. We
have since purchased our cryptocurrency mining machines and established a data
center in Canada to mine digital assets. Following the merger, we intended to
add GBV's existing technical capabilities and digital asset miners and expand
our activities in the mining of new digital assets, while at the same time
harvesting the value of our remaining IP assets. On June 28, 2018, the board has
determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders
to allow the Amended Merger Agreement to expire on its current termination date
of June 28, 2018 without further negotiation or extension. The Board approved to
issue 750,000 shares of our common stock to GBV as a termination fee for
canceling the proposed merger between the two companies. The fair value of the
common stocks was $2,850,000.



The Company believes that bitcoin is attractive because it can serve as a store
of value, supported by a robust and public open source architecture, that is
untethered to sovereign monetary policy and can therefore serve as a hedge
against inflation. Bitcoin exists entirely in electronic form, as virtually
irreversible public transaction ledger entries on the blockchain, and
transactions in bitcoin are recorded and authenticated not by a central
repository, but by a decentralized peer-to-peer network. This decentralization
avoids certain threats common to centralized computer networks, such as denial
of service attacks, and reduces the dependency of the bitcoin network on any
single system. While the bitcoin network as a whole is decentralized, the
private keys used to access bitcoin balances are not widely distributed and are
held on hardware (which can be physically controlled by the holder or by a third
party such as a custodian) or via software programs on third-party servers and
loss of such private keys results in an inability to access, and effective loss
of, the corresponding bitcoin. Consequently, bitcoin holdings are susceptible to
all of the risks inherent in holding any electronic data, such as power failure,
data corruption, security breach, communication failure, and user error, among
others. These risks, in turn, make bitcoin subject to theft, destruction, or
loss of value from hackers, corruption, or technology-specific factors such as
viruses that do not affect conventional fiat currency. In addition, the bitcoin
network relies on open source developers to maintain and improve the bitcoin
protocol. Accordingly, bitcoin may be subject to protocol design changes,
governance disputes such as "forked" protocols, competing protocols, and other
open source-specific risks that do not affect conventional proprietary software.



The Company believes that in the context of the economic and public health
crisis precipitated by COVID-19 and the unprecedented government financial
stimulus measures adopted around the world, decreasing interest rates, as well
as the breakdown of trust in and between political institutions and political
parties in the United States and globally, bitcoin represents a more attractive
store of value than fiat currency, and further that opportunity for appreciation
in the value of bitcoin exists in the event that such factors lead to even more
widespread adoption of bitcoin as a treasury reserve alternative.

On January 12, 2021, the Company, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
(the "Purchase Agreement") with certain purchasers named therein (the
"Purchasers"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a
registered direct offering (the "Offering"), 12,500,000 shares of its common
stock (the "Securities") at an offering price of $20.00 per share.



20






The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and
agreements of the Company and the Purchasers and customary indemnification
rights and obligations of the parties. The closing of the Offering occurred on
January 15, 2021. The Company received gross proceeds of $250,000,000 in
connection with the Offering, before deducting placement agent fees and related
offering expenses.



Pursuant to a letter agreement, dated August 2020 (the "Engagement Letter"), the
Company engaged H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the "Placement Agent") as placement
agent in connection with the Offering. The Placement Agent agreed to use its
reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of the Securities. The Company
agreed to pay to the Placement Agent a cash fee of 5.0% of the aggregate gross
proceeds raised in the Offering. The Company also issued to designees of the
Placement Agent warrants to purchase up to 3.0% of the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock sold in the transactions, or warrants to purchase up to
375,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Placement Agent Warrants"). The Placement
Agent Warrants have an exercise price equal to 125% of the offering price per
share (or $25.00 per share). The Company also agreed to pay the Placement Agent
$50,000 for accountable expenses, to reimburse an investor's legal fees in an
amount up to $7,500 and to pay $12,900 for the Placement Agent's clearing fees.
Pursuant to the terms of the Engagement Letter, the Placement Agent has the
right, for a period of twelve months following the closing of the Offerings, to
act (i) as financial advisor in connection with any merger, consolidation or
similar business combination by the Company and (ii) as sole book-running
manager, sole underwriter or sole placement agent in connection with certain
debt and equity financing transactions by the Company.



Effective January 19, 2021, David Lieberman resigned as a director of the Company. On the same date, the Company's Board appointed Kevin DeNuccio as a director to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Lieberman's resignation.

Mr. DeNuccio is the Founder and General Partner of Wild West Capital LLC since 2012 where he focused on angel investments, primarily in SAAS software start-ups.





He brings to Marathon more than 25 years of experience as a chief executive,
global sales leader, public and private board member, and more than a dozen
angel investments, managing and growing leading technology businesses. He served
in senior executive positions with Verizon, Cisco Systems, Ericsson, Redback
Networks, Wang Laboratories and Unisys Corporation.



On January 25, 2021, the Company announced that it has purchased 4,812.66 BTC in an aggregate purchase price of $150 million.

On February 11, 2021, the Company issued 4,701,442 shares of common stock pursuant to the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan.

Effective March 1, 2021, the Company changed its name to Marathon Digital Holdings, Inc.

and DMG will receive: $500,000 in restricted common stock of the Company (stock
to be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2)
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended); a monthly license fee with a
sliding scale based on the DCMNA's block rewards and transaction fees received
by the pool; and technical support services to be provided on an as-needed

basis
with payment in US dollars.

of directors, effective immediately, as Peter Benz transitions to become the
company's vice president of corporate development and Michael Berg steps down

supply chain expediting activities. As of June 30, 2021, the Company paid $8
million of the $14 million in expedite fees recorded as a deposit on the balance
sheet.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis:





Digital Currencies



Digital currencies are included in current assets in the consolidated balance
sheets as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Digital currencies are
recorded at cost less impairment.



An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed
for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in
circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the
indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount
exceeds its fair value, which is measured using the quoted price of the digital
currency at the time its fair value is being measured. In testing for
impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment
to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it
is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a
quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company concludes
otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the
extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis
of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted.



At June 30, 2021, we carried $195.9 million of digital assets on our balance
sheet, which include cumulative impairments of $11.7 million, consisting of the
approximately 5,784 bitcoins, and held $170.6 million in cash and cash
equivalents, compared to $2.3 million of digital assets and $141.3 million in
cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2020, reflecting the shift in our
liquid assets. As of August 13, 2021, we held approximately 6,378 bitcoins, of
which, 4,812.66 bitcoins were acquired at an aggregate purchase price of $150
million at an average purchase price of approximately $31,137 per bitcoin,
inclusive of fees and expenses. These purchased bitcoins are held in an
investment fund of one where the Company is the sole limited partner. We expect
to purchase additional bitcoin held by the investment fund in future periods,
though we may also sell bitcoin in future periods as needed to generate Cash
Assets for treasury management purposes.



Non-GAAP Financial Measures



We are providing supplemental financial measures for (i) non-GAAP income from
operations that excludes the impact of depreciation and amortization of fixed
assets, impairment losses on mined cryptocurrency, server maintenance contract
amortization and stock compensation expense and (ii) non-GAAP net income and
non-GAAP diluted earnings per share that exclude the impact of depreciation and
amortization of fixed assets, impairment losses on mined cryptocurrency, change
in fair value of warrant liability, server maintenance contract amortization and
stock compensation expense. These supplemental financial measures are not
measurements of financial performance under generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States ("GAAP") and, as a result, these supplemental
financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other
companies. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to help
understand, manage, and evaluate our business performance and to help make
operating decisions.



We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are also useful to investors
and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a
consistent basis. The first supplemental financial measure excludes non-cash
operational expenses that we believe are not reflective of our general business
performance such as (i) depreciation and amortization of fixed assets, (ii)
significant impairment losses on mined cryptocurrency, (iii) server maintenance
contract amortization and (iv) stock compensation expense that could vary
significantly in comparison to other companies.



The second set of supplemental financial measures excludes the impact of (i)
depreciation and amortization of fixed assets, (ii) significant impairment
losses on mined cryptocurrency, (iii) change in fair value of warrant liability
(iv) server maintenance contract amortization and (v) stock compensation
expense. We believe the use of these non-GAAP financial measures can also
facilitate comparison of our operating results to those of our competitors.



Non-GAAP financial measures are subject to material limitations as they are not
in accordance with, or a substitute for, measurements prepared in accordance
with GAAP. For example, we expect that share-based compensation expense, which
is excluded from the first two non-GAAP financial measures, will continue to be
a significant recurring expense over the coming years and is an important part
of the compensation provided to certain employees, officers, and directors.
Similarly, we expect that depreciation and amortization of fixed assets will
continue to be a recurring expense over the term of the useful life of the
assets. We have also excluded impairment losses on mined cryptocurrency from the
first two non-GAAP financial measures, which may occur in future periods as a
result of our continued holdings of significant amounts of bitcoin. Our non-GAAP
financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation and should be
read only in conjunction with our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. We rely primarily on such
Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements to understand, manage, and evaluate
our business performance and use the non-GAAP financial measures only
supplementally.

Results of Operations


For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020





We generated revenues of $29.3 million and $38.5 million during the three and
six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $286,161 and $878,648 during the
three and six months ended June 30, 2020. For the three and six months ended
June 30, 2021, this represented an increase of $29.0 million or 10,147% and
$37.6 million or 4,279% over the same period in 2020. Revenue for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were derived primarily from
cryptocurrency mining. The increase in revenue is due to the deployment of

Net Loss Available to Common Shareholders





We reported a net loss of $108.9 million and $25.5 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2021 and a net loss of $2.2 million and $3.2 million for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.



Liquidity and Capital Resources





The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity
of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the
normal course of business.



As reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had
an accumulated deficit of approximately $141.6 million at June 30, 2021, net
loss of approximately $25.5 million and $6.8 million net cash used by operating
activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021.



Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current
and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an
ongoing basis. At June 30, 2021, the Company's cash and cash equivalents
balances totaled $170.6 million compared to $141.3 million at December 31, 2020.
During the six month period ending June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, the Company
mined approximately 846 and 104 bitcoin, respectively. An increase of 742
bitcoin or 713%. The average price of a bitcoin during the first six months of
2020 was $8,485. The average price of a bitcoin during the first six months of
2021 was $45,897, an increase of $37,412 or 441%.



At June 30, 2021, we carried $195.9 million of digital assets on our balance
sheet, which include cumulative impairments of $11.7 million, consisting of the
approximately 5,784 bitcoins, and held $170.6 million in cash and cash
equivalents, compared to $2.3 million of digital assets and $141.3 million in
cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2020, reflecting the shift in our
liquid assets. As of August 13, 2021, we held approximately 6,378 bitcoins, of
which, 4,812.66 bitcoins were acquired at an aggregate purchase price of $150
million at an average purchase price of approximately $31,137 per bitcoin,
inclusive of fees and expenses. These purchased bitcoins are held in an
investment fund of one where the Company is the sole limited partner. We expect
to purchase additional bitcoin held by the investment fund in future periods,
though we may also sell bitcoin in future periods as needed to generate Cash
Assets for treasury management purposes.



Net working capital increased by $203.3 million, to working capital of $488.3
million at June 30, 2021 from working capital of $285.0 million at December

31,
2020.


Cash used in operating activities was $6.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to cash used in operating activities of $2.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020.


Cash used in investing activities was $272.5 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2021 compared to cash used in investing activities of $4.7 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2020.



Cash provided by financing activities was $308.5 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2021 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $6.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.



Based on our current revenue and profit projections, we believe that our existing cash will be sufficient to fund our operations through at least the next twelve months.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements





We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to
guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into
any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as
stockholder's equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated condensed
financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent
interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as
credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity.
