MARA expands digital infra with 2 GW Texas site, boosts growth pipeline

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

The deal materially expands MARA's power capacity and development pipeline, adds scalable computing opportunities, and aligns with its Texas investment approach. Minority stake by HIF reduces immediate dilution risk, while Starwood partnership enhances execution capability. However, the long lead times for buildout, regulatory approvals, and integration risk temper near-term moves.
