Mara Announcement w/ Fred Thiel
Bitcoin's network secures trillions in value, but who's actually maintaining it? At Bitcoin 2026, MARA Holdings CEO Fred Thiel takes the Nakamoto Stage to launch the MARA Foundation, a new initiative dedicated to funding the parts of the Bitcoin ecosystem that don't pay for themselves: open-source developers, quantum-resistance research, self-custody, policy, and education. As part of the launch, MARA is awarding $100,000 to one of three nonprofits chosen by a live community vote. Watch Thiel make the case for why responsibility, not just hashrate, is what keeps Bitcoin strong.
