Background
Mara is a Bitcoin-rich infrastructure firm leveraging Bitcoin mining as its core business. As of 31st December it held 53,822 Bitcoin on its balance sheet. During Q1 it mined another 2,247 Bitcoin.
During the period it sold 20,766 to repay debt, secure a new $150 million line of credit and fund growth. The approximate market value of Bitcoin sold was $1.6 billion.
At the end of Q1 it had 35,303 Bitcoin remaining on its balance sheet, a decline in assets of 34%.

Running Q1 Again with Goosie
Goosie is a rules-based Bitcoin liquidity package that eliminates liquidation risk by design. Loan term and interest are also removed. The new primitive in BTC finance is build-ready and we are reaching out to a small number of firms with the invitation to become the Founding Partner of the package by implementing its first canonical deployment.
Had Goosie been available to Mara at the beginning of Q1 this year the liquidity engine would have been able to:
- Eliminate the risk of using Bitcoin as collateral for its lines of credit
- Eliminate the need to sell Bitcoin to fund debt repayments and growth
- Eliminate the cost of interest on borrowed liquidity.

Running Q1 Again with Goosie
Goosie is a rules-based Bitcoin liquidity package that eliminates liquidation risk by design. Loan term and interest are also removed. The new primitive in BTC finance is build-ready and we are reaching out to a small number of firms with the invitation to become the Founding Partner of the package by implementing its first canonical deployment.
Had Goosie been available to Mara at the beginning of Q1 this year the liquidity engine would have been able to:
- Pay off all existing debt and fund acquisitions with liquidity without interest, term or margin call risk.
- Kept 20,766 Bitcoin from being sold.
- Preserved $1.3 billion of assets on the Mara balance sheet.
As a deterministic rules-based treasury risk-management package Goosie offers strategic capital flexibility benefits. It is intended to help firms preserve Bitcoin exposure while accessing a more resilient liquidity framework.
