Marathon Digital Holdings, Inc.

Marathon Digital's primary revenue source comes from bitcoin mining operations, which involves providing computational power to validate transactions on the Bitcoin network in exchange for bitcoin rewards. This activity involves the exchange of real assets (computational power and electricity for bitcoin) and creates tangible value for the network. While the cryptocurrency market can be volatile, the company's core business activity involves actual asset exchange and value creation rather than gambling or zero-sum games.

Looking at the company's financial data over the past four quarters, interest expenses have been relatively minimal compared to total expenses. Interest expense ratios have remained consistently low, ranging from 0% to 0.76% of total expenses across the examined periods. The company's interest expenses are not material to its operations.

Based on available information from SEC filings and company reports, Marathon Digital's operations are primarily located in the United States. There is no evidence of current material associations with Israel or the Chinese Communist Party. The company's mining operations and partnerships are predominantly with US-based entities.
