Marathon Digital expands into altcoin mining to diversify revenue streams post-Bitcoin halving
Marathon Digital, the largest public Bitcoin miner by market cap, announced late Wednesday it had expanded into altcoin mining to diversify its revenue streams following Bitcoin's latest halving event.

The altcoin in question is Kaspa ( KAS +7.22% ), with Marathon deploying its first Kaspa application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) miners in September 2023. In total, Marathon said it has purchased around 60 PH/s of Antminer KS3, KS5 and KS5 Pro ASICs from manufacturer Bitmain, each of which it claims can generate up to 95% profit margins given the current network difficulty rate and price of KAS.
