MARA, a bitcoin-listed mining company, announced that after extensive discussions with advisors, the company's board of directors has decided to amend the company's articles of association to authorize an increase in the number of authorized shares from 500 million to 800 million. This proposal is similar to what other companies in the industry have done, and if approved, will provide MARA with greater flexibility to take advantage of market conditions and favorable financing and acquisition opportunities in a timely manner.
