Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 6% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published October 21, 2025
Marathon Digital mines Bitcoin, so its stock often moves with Bitcoin. We see early signs of a rebound: the price looks washed out, buyer interest is picking up, and our fair value is about $24.40. Big holders added Bitcoin recently, which can tighten supply. This is a jumpy stock, so use small positions and firm exits, aiming for a 0-3 month bounce if Bitcoin holds steady.
Primary drivers
- Our valuation math points to about $24.40 per share as a reasonable price
- Large Bitcoin-holding companies have been adding coins, reducing supply
- Price looks washed out and early buyer momentum is showing up again
- The stock swings hard; consider smaller positions to manage big moves
