MARA forms foundation to support Bitcoin network health, adoption
As part of its launch, the MARA Foundation has asked the community to vote on which of three Bitcoin companies should receive a $100,000 contribution.
Bitcoin miner MARA Holdings launched the MARA Foundation on Monday to support the health of the Bitcoin network and the communities that rely on it as a tool for financial sovereignty.
The MARA Foundation said it plans to implement measures to “harden Bitcoin against security threats,” including quantum computing, while also expanding access to self-custodial Bitcoin (BTC) and offering a range of educational resources, MARA said after announcing the new foundation at the Bitcoin 2026 conference in Las Vegas on Monday.
It also plans to support the “development of a robust and healthy fee market for Bitcoin transactions,” it said.
