MARA Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:MARA) exhorted the incoming Donald Trump administration to expand domestic Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) mining operations, emphasizing the significance of the U.S. controlling a larger portion of the global hash rate for economic sovereignty.
What Happened: In an X post on Tuesday, the company highlighted the increasing competitiveness of Bitcoin mining and the potential economic implications of not securing a significant share of the global hash rate.
The company stressed that by controlling a larger portion of the hash rate—the computational power used to validate transactions and add new blocks to the blockchain—the U.S. can protect its transactions from foreign interference.
“By controlling hash rate, a nation can prioritize access to block space, preventing adversarial nations from censoring or manipulating its transactions,” MARA added.
