How To Buy MARA Stock

By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for MARA Holdings – be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.

Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of possible trading platforms here. Many will allow you to buy â€˜fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.

In the case of MARA Holdings, which is trading at $17.65 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 5.66 shares of stock.

If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to “go short” a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a stock can be found at this resource. Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading – either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.

MARA Price Action: At the time of publication, MARA Holdings shares were up 3.25% at $17.47 according to data from Benzinga Pro.
