Exam works with nvidia
Exion is developing high -performance computer data centers (HPC) and provides AI and Cloud infrastructure in partnership with NVIDIA heavyweights and the Big Four Deloitte accounting firm.
The agreement is now positioning to examine to move on to international deployment on a larger scale to serve customers of companies and the public sector, said Mara.
The transaction should end in the fourth quarter, subject to the necessary approvals.
The CEO and president of Mara, Fred Thiel, added: “While data protection and energy efficiency become important priorities for governments and businesses, the combined expertise of Mara and Exion would allow us to provide secure and evolutionary cloud solutions designed for the future of AI.”
The expansion of AI comes as the difficulty of the BTC increases
Mara’s expansion in AI comes from the middle of a strong increase in the mining difficulty of Bitcoin (BTC), increasing energy consumption and exerting pressure on the profitability margins of minors, unless they adapt with more effective equipment or more effective energy costs.
Mara is the largest Bitcoin minor by the production of bitcoins, network hash and market capitalization, but was one of the last players in the industry to make a significant push in AI.

In additional comments on Monday via X space, Thiel noted that Mara “had deliberately chose not to be in the first wave” to develop in AI and HPC data companies like other bitcoin minors.
“Rather than trying to modernize the mining facilities, we invest in a partner who already has the expertise, has customers and has the history of space,” said Mara boss, while adding that “he allows us to move quickly, intelligently and credible”.
The new competitor of the production of the Mara BTC
In July, Mara undermined 703 Bitcoin – a rare loss for the competing firm Iren, which posted a company record 728 Bitcoin in the same month. The drop in mara production was probably pulled by fewer machines active for Bitcoin exploitation.
However, Mara has seen her income increase by 64% in annual shift to 238 million dollars in the second quarter, while he still has 50,000 Bitcoin worth almost $ 6 billion, making it the second Bitcoin greater higher after Michael Saylor’s strategy.
