MARA Holdings, a key player in crypto mining, is urging the US to ramp up efforts in securing a leading role in Bitcoin and its mining, highlighting national security concerns. In a recent statement, MARA emphasized the importance of the US holding Bitcoin akin to its gold reserves, especially with de-dollarization trends. The company pointed out that the US currently holds just over 200,000 Bitcoin, with China close behind. MARA suggests a strategic plan to boost domestic mining hardware production and investment, aiming to safeguard the US's share of the global hashrate and set global standards for decentralized networks.
