Background on the Marathon Securities Class Litigation
Marathon, headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, is a cryptocurrency mining company. On March 1, 2021, the Company changed its name from Marathon Patent Group, Inc. to Marathon Digital Holdings, Inc. In October 2020, Marathon announced the formation of Beowulf Joint Venture with the company Beowulf Energy LLC (“Beowulf”). The focus of the Beowulf Joint Venture was to “deliver[] low-cost power to Marathon’s Bitcoin mining operations.” Pursuant to the joint venture, Marathon entered into a series of agreements with various parties, including affiliates of Beowulf and Two Point One, LLC, to design and build a data center in Hardin, Montana (the “Hardin Facility”), issuing six million shares of its common stock to the parties of those agreements.
The action alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (a) the Beowulf Joint Venture, as it related to the Hardin Facility, implicated potential regulatory violations, including U.S. securities law violations; (b) as a result, the Beowulf Joint Venture subjected Marathon to a heightened risk of regulatory scrutiny; and (c) the foregoing was reasonably likely to have a material negative impact on the Company’s business and commercial prospects.
On November 15, 2021, Marathon disclosed that the Company and certain of its executives had received a subpoena from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) “to produce documents and communications” related to the Hardin Facility. Marathon further revealed that “the SEC may be investigating whether or not there may have been any violations of the federal securities law.” On this news, Marathon’s stock price fell $20.52 per share, or 27.03%, from its close of $75.91 per share on November 12, 2021, to close at $55.40 per share on November 15, 2021, on unusually heavy trading volume.
