MARA Holdings, a leading Bitcoin mining company, has signed a $168 million agreement to acquire a 64% stake in Exaion, a subsidiary of the French state-owned energy company Électricité de France (EDF). Exaion specializes in high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, having been established to repurpose EDF's supercomputers and provide blockchain services. The acquisition, to be completed by late 2025 or early 2026 pending regulatory approvals in France and Canada, marks MARA's strategic expansion from cryptocurrency mining into AI and HPC sectors. This move reflects a broader trend of integrating blockchain technology with advanced computing capabilities. The transaction positions MARA to extend its technological reach beyond Bitcoin mining into emerging AI-driven markets.
