According to Jinse Finance, citing Yahoo Finance, bitcoin mining company Marathon Digital Holdings Inc (MARA) released its financial report for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 on November 4. The company turned profitable, shifting from a net loss of $124.8 million in the same period last year to a net profit of $123.1 million; revenue increased by 92% year-on-year to $252.4 million, which was below market expectations. The report stated that Marathon mined 2,144 bitcoins in the third quarter, with the number of blocks captured increasing by only 5% year-on-year. This means that 92% of the company's revenue growth was almost entirely driven by an 88% year-on-year increase in the average price of bitcoin, rather than an increase in mining volume.

According to Jinse Finance, citing Cointelegraph, a vote by residents of Hood County, Texas, to establish a new municipality called "Mitchell Bend" in order to regulate local bitcoin mining noise did not pass, with only 38% of voters in support. Around 600 local residents have suffered for years from noise issues caused by MARA's operation of 60,000 bitcoin mining machines, resulting in insomnia, headaches, and other health problems. Although MARA has expanded soundproof walls and partially adopted liquid cooling systems, the noise issue remains unresolved.
