MArA Foundation

Our commitment
to Bitcoin, beyond mining.

Our mission

MARA Foundation represents MARA's ongoing strategic commitment to Bitcoin—and our belief that Bitcoin is  the most important emerging technology for self-sovereignty and human freedom in the world.  

Through internal initiatives and external partnerships,  we'll activate programs to advance Bitcoin education, accessibility and R&D

Where we focus

Freedom

FINANCIAL FREEDOM:
WHERE BITCOIN MATTERS MOST

01 / 04

Enabling financial sovereignty worldwide

Around the world, particularly across the Global South, Bitcoin is being used as a tool to escape financial oppression in jurisdictions affected by hyperinflation, confiscatory policy, and restrictions on financial freedom. We are committed to supporting communities using
Bitcoin to expand access to sound money and strengthen local economies.

COMMUNITY
EDUCATION

COMMUNITY EDUCATION:
LEARN. CONNECT. BUILD.

02 / 04

Making Bitcoin usable through understanding

We believe informed participants build stronger networks and more resilient systems. The Foundation is dedicated
to creating and supporting spaces for Bitcoin education, from policy makers and industry professionals to developers and first-time users, in the languages and communities where it's needed most.

FUNDING
BUILDERS

OPEN-SOURCE DEVELOPMENT:
Accessibility. Open. For all. 

03 / 04

Opening Bitcoin to those who need it most

Anti-Bitcoin regulation, gaps in infrastructure, and weak technical tooling keep the network out of reach for the people who would benefit from it most. We engage policy makers in support of pro-Bitcoin regulation, and are committed to advancing easy-to-use tooling and expanding access worldwide.

Preparing Bitcoin for the quantum era

Quantum computing is not an immediate threat to Bitcoin. But because the network evolves deliberately and upgrades take time, early preparation matters. We
support research and development of quantum-resistant tools, including proposals like BIP 360 — co-authored Isabel Foxen Duke (MARA), as well as the development
of quantum-resistant technical tooling  (e.g. PQ wallets).
