MARA Holdings (MARA) experienced a significant 24-hour plunge of 6.20% on Wednesday, as cryptocurrency-related stocks took a hit following Bitcoin's weakness. The world's largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, slipped to trade just under the $85,000 mark, pulling down various crypto and blockchain-related companies in the process.
The day started with some optimism for crypto stocks, with MARA Holdings initially rising 5% in morning trading as Bitcoin approached $86,000. However, the tide quickly turned as Bitcoin's value declined, losing nearly 9% of its value year-to-date in 2025. This volatility in the cryptocurrency market has been strongly reflected in the performance of stocks like MARA, which are closely tied to Bitcoin's movements.
The downturn wasn't limited to MARA Holdings. Other major players in the crypto space also felt the impact, with Coinbase Global, Riot Platforms, and MicroStrategy all experiencing declines. As Bitcoin continues to fluctuate, companies like MARA Holdings may face further volatility in the short term, highlighting the inherent risks associated with cryptocurrency-related investments.
