미국 뉴욕 남부 연방 법원의 앤드류 카터 주니어 판사는 바이낸스가 2019년 2월 20일 이전에 글로벌 플랫폼에서 암호화폐를 구매한 미국 고객들의 손실 배상 청구에 대해 강제 중재를 진행할 수 없다고 판결했으며, 관련 집단 소송은 공개 법정에서 계속 진행될 것이라고 밝혔다. 판사는 바이낸스의 2019년 중재 조항이 상기 청구에 적용될 수 없다고 판단했다. 바이낸스가 2017년판 서비스 약관을 일방적으로 수정할 당시 사용자에게 충분한 통지를 제공하지 않았으며, 2017년판 약관에는 중재 또는 집단 소송 면책 조항이 포함되지 않았기 때문이다. 판사는 바이낸스가 일반적인 약관 변경 조항과 웹사이트에 게시된 개정된 2019년 약관만을 근거로 삼았을 뿐, 거래소가 사용자에게 개별 통지나 공식 공지를 제공했다는 증거가 없다고 지적했다. 또한 2019년 중재 조항이 그 발효일 이전의 청구에 소급 적용될 수 없다고 판결했다. 이 사건(Williams v. Binance)은 캘리포니아, 네바다, 텍사스 출신 미국 투자자 5명이 제기했으며, 바이낸스와 창립자 CZ가 미등록 증권을 불법 판매하고 중개업자로 등록하지 않았다고 주장했습니다. 바이낸스 측은 2019년 2월 20일 이후 발생한 모든 청구가 원고 측에서 자진 철회되었으며, 잔여 청구에 대해서는 적극적으로 방어할 것이라고 응답했습니다.

Marathon Holdings (MARA) has announced a substantial net loss of $1.71 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025, translating to $4.52 per diluted share. This marks a stark contrast to the net income of $528.3 million, or $1.24 per diluted share, recorded in the same period the previous year. According to Cointelegraph, the company's revenue for Q4 decreased by 6% to $202.3 million, down from $214.4 million in Q4 2024, primarily due to the lower average Bitcoin (BTC) price, which overshadowed the benefits of an increased hashrate. For the entirety of 2025, Marathon reported a net loss of $1.31 billion, a significant downturn from the net income of $541 million in 2024, despite a rise in revenue to $907.1 million from $656.4 million the previous year. The company attributed its Q4 net income decline to a $1.50 billion negative change in the fair value of digital assets and digital assets receivable, reflecting Bitcoin's price drop from approximately $114,300 on September 30 to around $88,800 on December 31, based on CoinGecko data. Marathon's stock has also suffered, with a 46% decrease over the past six months. On the production front, Marathon mined 2,011 BTC in Q4 2025, a 6% decrease from 2,144 BTC in the previous quarter and 2,492 BTC in the same period the previous year. For the full year, the company mined 8,799 BTC, compared to 9,430 BTC in 2024. At the end of 2025, Marathon held 53,822 BTC, including 15,315 BTC loaned or pledged as collateral, with its balance sheet BTC valued at approximately $4.7 billion at a quarter-end spot price of $87,498 per coin. In its Q4 shareholder letter, Marathon outlined a strategic shift from solely focusing on Bitcoin mining to becoming an energy and digital infrastructure company. This includes a joint venture with Starwood Digital Ventures to develop AI and high-performance compute (HPC) data centers at power-rich sites. The partnership aims to support over 1 gigawatt of IT capacity initially, with potential expansion to more than 2.5 gigawatts, allowing Marathon to invest up to 50% in individual projects while continuing mining operations where power remains favorable. Additionally, Marathon acquired a 64% stake in Exaion in February to target sovereign-grade and enterprise AI deployments. Marathon's hybrid strategy emerges as other major miners explore various approaches amid the latest Bitcoin downturn. Hut 8 reported a fourth-quarter net loss of $279.7 million, focusing on a $7 billion AI data center lease, while American Bitcoin, backed by U.S. President Donald Trump, reported a $59.5 million Q4 2025 loss but continues to pursue its mine-and-hoard BTC model.
