The U.S. FERC has rejected proposed rules that could have restricted electricity supply to large AI data centers.

On October 8, 2026, approximately 996 $BTC worth $81.13 million were transferred from a wallet attributed to $MARA to an address associated with Galaxy Digital $GLXY
$MARA has become an extremely polarized stock.
On one side, there’s a huge amount of short interest betting against the AI/HPC story — short interest is around 27% of the float. For context, anything above 10% is generally considered high, and above 20% is extremely high.
On the other side, there’s a lot of capital seeking asymmetric exposure to a positive surprise. On October 2 alone, more than 109,000 calls traded across the $12 and $12.50 strikes, with open interest later settling near 99,000 contracts — equivalent to nominal exposure on almost 10 million shares.
That makes $MARA a true battleground stock.

Kevin Dede at Jones Trading has initiated coverage of $MARA with a Buy rating and a $22 price target.
Dede joined Jones Trading in April as Managing Director of Equity Research after spending 12+ years at H.C. Wainwright covering #crypto, digital assets and blockchain-related companies.

@LeapingIntoHell@michaeljburry Haha, that's right. I studied something called software engineering and a master's degree in artificial intelligence years ago, before Mr. Burry cared in the slightest
🚨 $MARA Matagorda update:
The project has now reached the point where $100M has been deposited with the utility in connection with its planned 2 GW power capacity.
The full 2 GW still needs approval, but this is a significant step in moving Matagorda toward actual energization.

Oracle has issued a force majeure notice over delays at its massive New Mexico data center project, valued at around $165 billion.
The problem isn’t AI demand — it’s infrastructure. Permits for the gas pipeline have been denied, while water restrictions, local opposition, activism, and other permitting issues are delaying the project.
Project Jupiter could require up to 2.5 GW of capacity and around 400 million cubic feet of natural gas per day.
#Oracle is not trying to cancel the lease, but rather delay rent payments while these issues are resolved.
This highlights one of $MARA’s key advantages over other companies: #MARA has already secured much of the critical #infrastructure needed to develop its major projects.
And that’s the real moat.

Citizens analyst Greg Miller has initiated coverage of $MARA with a Market Outperform rating and a $24 price target.
That implies roughly 76% upside from #MARA’s current price.

$MARA is on the verge of breaking out of a 3-year triangle.
With $BTC looking bullish and major catalysts ahead by year-end, we could be setting up for an epic move.

MARA acquired Matagorda targeting up to 1 GW by Oct 2027 and 2 GW by Apr 2028, explicitly subject to ERCOT and interconnection approvals.
Studied Load means those 2 GW still need to be allocated. ERCOT could approve the full 2 GW, approve it in stages as grid upgrades come online, or allocate less.
MARA even structured the deal around that uncertainty.
2 GW is the target, not a guarantee.
$MARA Texas update:
MARA’s planned 2 GW #Matagorda data center has entered ERCOT’s Batch Zero process as a “Studied Load.”
This is an important step forward: the project has been accepted into the process for power allocation, and ERCOT is now studying how much power the grid can provide and how it can be delivered.
Meanwhile, #MARA’s existing Granbury (~280 MW) and Garden City (~200 MW) sites received conditional “Base Load” status — a more advanced status that means these existing sites are being treated as part of ERCOT’s baseline power demand rather than competing as new large-load projects.

@seabadger5 True, nothing really new. But with just over 3 months left in the year, reaffirming they’re highly confident the leases will be signed matters. That uncertainty is one of the main things holding $MARA back.
Fred Thiel said at yesterday’s H.C. Wainwright conference:
“We feel very confident about signing the two leases by year-end.”
He also noted that $MARA does not announce LOIs or exclusivity agreements, meaning negotiations could already be well advanced behind the scenes.

What many investors still don’t understand about $MARA...
The real advantage of Long Ridge is energy.
MARA is acquiring a ~505 MW natural gas power plant along with its gas production assets in Ohio and West Virginia.
Long Ridge can supply itself with its own natural gas and has access to roughly 100 million cubic feet of gas per day, with estimated all-in operating costs below $15/MWh.
That allows $MARA to operate partially behind-the-meter:
Own gas → own power generation → data center → GPUs / #AI
In the AI infrastructure race, one of the biggest bottlenecks isn’t just capital or land — it’s securing hundreds of megawatts without waiting years for new grid interconnections.
And Long Ridge already generates electricity and cash flow.
This isn’t just an #AI / #HPC promise.
It’s an operating energy asset that already generates real cash flow.
