MARA Stock Just Jumped — Now Its $1.5 Billion AI Power Bet Faces a Test
MARA Holdings shares slipped to $13.10 in pre-market trading Thursday after a 5.7% jump, as insider filings showed CEO Fred Thiel and CFO Salman Khan sold shares at $12 each under pre-arranged plans. The moves follow MARA’s $1.5 billion deal to acquire Long Ridge Energy & Power, adding a 505-megawatt Ohio gas plant and land for AI-focused data centers. The transaction awaits regulatory approval and is expected to close in late 2026.
