MARA trims roughly 15% of staff as it pivots toward energy and digital infrastructure

Bitcoin miner MARA has reduced its headcount by about 15%, describing the move as a strategic step tied to a broader shift away from pure-play mining. Affected employees are set to receive one month of paid leave plus benefits through April 30, 13 weeks of severance, and payout for unused PTO. The restructuring comes as MARA expands into energy, data center, and AI-related infrastructure initiatives.
