Previously, BTC was held on the balance sheet exclusively as a long-term investment. At the end of 2025, MARA had 53,822 BTC (~$4.7 billion). About 28% is already in use: 9,377 BTC has been loaned out and brought in $32.1 million, and another 5,938 BTC has been pledged as collateral for $350 million in credit lines. The year turned out to be unprofitable in terms of the active part of the strategy. The revaluation of the portfolio resulted in a loss of $422 million due to the fall in the price of BTC. A separate trading account for 2,000 BTC managed by Two Prime was closed in December with a loss of $22 million, bringing the total losses of the trading segment to $69 million. The annual mining output was 8,799 BTC, 7% less than in 2024. This was due to halving and the increasing complexity of the network, although the company's hashrate grew to 66.4 EH/s. MARA shares are down 59% from last year's peak. Core Scientific plans to sell over 2.5K BTC (~$165 million) in Q1 to fund its transition into the AI sector. 03 Mar, 2026 byDropsCapital Join Its Socials Core Scientific (NASDAQ: CORZ) expects to sell all of its reserves of approximately 2,500 BTC in the first quarter of 2026 to increase liquidity and finance capital expenditures for the expansion of its colocation infrastructure for AI computing. In its annual report filed on Monday, the company indicated that the majority of BTC reserve sales are expected to occur in the first quarter, although the timing and volume are subject to market conditions and may change. It is unclear whether any sales had already been made as of the reporting date. What's in stock. As of December 31, 2025, Core Scientific had 2,537 BTC with an estimated value of $222 million (at an average price of $101,639 per coin in 2025). For comparison, at the end of 2024, there were only 256 BTC on the balance sheet. The entire amount was obtained through proprietary mining. Why they accumulated it. Despite significant capital commitments to build high-load colocation facilities for AI and other computing tasks, the company did not sell the mined bitcoins during 2025, but accumulated reserves - which grew almost tenfold over the year. Why are they selling now? In 2026, the strategy is changing. The company plans to monetize virtually all of its bitcoin reserves to fund capital expenditures and meet current liquidity needs. Industry trend. Core Scientific is not alone in this decision. A number of public mining companies are already actively selling BTC in order to transition to AI infrastructure: Cango sold 4,451 BTC for approximately $305 million, Bitdeer zeroed its Bitcoin balance, and Riot sold 5,363 BTC for approximately $535.5 million in 2025. 1.9K BTC of the planned amount was already sold in January.

CoinMarketCap and Reserve unveil CMC20, the first defi-native tradable crypto index token on BNB Chain. NEW YORK, Nov. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - CoinMarketCap, the world's leading cryptocurrency data platform, today announced CoinMarketCap 20 DTF (CMC20), the first DeFi-enabled tradable crypto index token on BNB Chain. Built on Reserve, a platform for creating Decentralized Token Folios (DTFs), onchain portfolios that bundle multiple crypto assets into a single token, CMC20 tracks the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, giving retail and institutional investors a simple, single-trade way to access diversified crypto market exposure. Deployed by Lista DAO, CMC20 combines the transparency of DeFi with the characteristics of traditional institutional-grade indexes. As the first tradable index token native to BNB Chain, CMC20 brings sophisticated portfolio exposure tools to one of crypto's largest ecosystems. The token enables permissionless 24/7 minting and redemption, while supporting spot listings across CEXs, DEXs, wallets & platforms, futures tracking, and integration into advanced trading strategies. "The crypto market has over 27 million tokens, with 50,000 new launches daily. Investors need what traditional markets have had for decades - a clear, investable benchmark," said Rush Luton, CEO of CoinMarketCap. "CMC20 serves as crypto's version to the S&P 500, delivering diversified exposure to crypto's largest, most liquid assets in a single trade, backed by transparent methodology and permissionless infrastructure. By partnering with Reserve and Lista DAO to launch the first index token on BNB Chain, CMC20 brings institutional-grade products to one of the world's most active blockchain ecosystems." Unlike reference-only indexes, CMC20 is purpose-built for active use across the crypto ecosystem. Monthly rebalancing maintains exposure to the 20 largest cryptocurrencies, excluding stablecoins, wrapped assets, and tokens with limited investability. The methodology captures growth across Layer-1 blockchains, exchange tokens, infrastructure projects, DeFi protocols, and emerging sectors, delivering broader market representation than BTC-ETH-only products. CMC20's DeFi-native architecture on BNB Chain enables use cases unavailable to traditional index products. Institutional investors can incorporate the token into delta-neutral strategies, collateralized lending, and automated portfolio rebalancing. Retail traders benefit from simplified exposure management and lower transaction costs than when manually constructing diversified portfolios. Exchange listings enable both spot trading and derivatives products, while the underlying assets remain verifiable onchain. Reserve's infrastructure ensures transparent collateralization and redemption mechanics. Users can mint CMC20 by depositing the underlying basket of tokens or redeem CMC20 for its constituent assets at any time, maintaining tight tracking to index value. "CMC20 showcases what is unlocked by crypto and Defi infrastructure," said Thomas Mattimore, CEO of ABC Labs and Core Contributor at Reserve. "For the first time, anyone can easily get exposure to market-cap weighted index of the top 20 assets in crypto. This is the blueprint for how next-generation financial products will be built.". CMC20 is launching with full ecosystem support on BNB Chain and is available for trading on PancakeSwap and mintable on the Reserve dapp. CoinMarketCap is actively partnering with DeFi protocols, centralized exchanges, and fintechs to increase CMC20's utility, enabling lending products and yield-generation mechanisms for CMC20 holders and expanding distribution beyond DeFi.

TopGoal x CoinMarketCap NFT airdrop: how it worked and what happened after. NFT airdrop utility calculator. Evaluate the potential value of NFT airdrops by analyzing key metrics. Based on the TopGoal x CoinMarketCap case study, Sixsixseven has created this calculator to help you determine if an NFT project has real utility or is just hype. The tool analyzes key metrics based on the TopGoal case study to determine if an NFT project has real utility or is just hype. The TopGoal x CoinMarketCap NFT airdrop was one of the most talked-about crypto campaigns in late 2022 - not because it made participants rich, but because it gave football fans a real shot at owning digital collectibles tied to real-world legends. For 30 days, over 10,000 people won a free NFT from TopGoal's football metaverse collection. But here's the truth: winning the NFT was just the beginning. Most people never checked what happened next. What was the TopGoal x CoinMarketCap airdrop? TopGoal, a blockchain-based football metaverse platform, teamed up with CoinMarketCap to give away 10,000 NFTs. Each NFT was a digital card featuring licensed football players - think of it like a trading card, but on the blockchain. You could collect them, trade them, or use them inside TopGoal's virtual stadium games. The campaign ran from October 7 to November 6, 2022. It wasn't a lottery. If you did everything right, you got one. No guessing. No luck. Just rules. The total value? Around $30,000. That sounds small today, but back then, it was enough to get attention. CoinMarketCap used its massive user base - millions of crypto traders checking prices every day - to push this to people who already cared about digital assets. TopGoal didn't need to buy ads. They used CoinMarketCap's credibility to reach an audience that trusted the platform. How to enter the airdrop (step-by-step). You couldn't just sign up and get an NFT. You had to prove you were active in the crypto space. Here's exactly what you had to do: * Follow TopGoal on Twitter: @TopGoal_NFT * Join the official TopGoal Telegram channel * Follow TopGoal on Instagram: @topgoalnft * Like their Facebook page: TopGoalNFT * Follow their Medium account: @TopGoal_NFT * Add GOAL and TMT tokens to your CoinMarketCap watchlist * Connect your CoinMarketCap account to Gravity (their user engagement platform) * Fill out the Google Form with your TopGoal wallet address and social media handles That's eight steps. Miss one? No NFT. No exceptions. The Google Form - now dead - was the final gate. It tied your real identity (via social media) to your blockchain wallet. That's how they made sure bots didn't win. Why so many steps? Because airdrops aren't giveaways. They're marketing tools. TopGoal needed followers, not just free NFT collectors. Every person who followed their Twitter or joined Telegram became part of their community. That's worth more than a few thousand dollars in NFTs. What did you actually get? You didn't get cash. You didn't get tokens. You got an NFT. And not just any NFT - one tied to real football clubs and players. TopGoal had deals with licensed athletes, so some cards featured real signatures, stats, and even animations. Think of it like a digital autographed jersey. The NFTs were stored on the Polygon network, which meant low gas fees. You could view them in your wallet, transfer them, or list them on marketplaces like OpenSea. But here's the catch: no one really bought them. Not because they weren't cool, but because TopGoal never built a strong secondary market. What happened after the airdrop? This is where most people stopped paying attention. And that's the mistake. By October 2025, the GOAL token was trading at $0.002805. That's down from its peak, but not dead. The 24-hour trading volume? Just $21,876. That's tiny. For comparison, a single popular NFT drop on OpenSea can do that in an hour. The market cap? $1.49 million. Out of a total supply of 1 billion tokens. That's a fully diluted value of $2.75 million - barely enough to fund a small startup, let alone a metaverse platform. There are 30,180 GOAL token holders. That's not nothing. But it's not a community. It's a list of people who did the airdrop and maybe forgot about it. The project still exists. You can still log into TopGoal's website. You can still see the NFTs in your wallet. But there are no new major partnerships. No big updates. No live games. Just a quiet platform waiting for something to happen. Why did the airdrop fail to sustain momentum? It wasn't the NFTs. It wasn't the partners. It was the lack of real utility. TopGoal promised a football metaverse - a place where you could play matches, earn rewards, and interact with other fans using your NFTs. But after the airdrop, nothing changed. No game launched. No new features rolled out. The NFTs became digital postcards. Collectible, but useless. Compare that to projects like Sorare or NBA Top Shot. They built actual games. You could play fantasy football with your NFTs and win prizes. TopGoal didn't. They built a showcase, not a sandbox. Also, timing mattered. The campaign ended in November 2022 - right when the crypto market crashed. Bitcoin dropped 60%. NFT sales collapsed. People stopped spending. Even if TopGoal had launched a game in December 2022, no one would've cared. The window was closed. Who benefited from this airdrop? The winners? Sure, they got an NFT. But most never sold it. They didn't even check its value later. The real winners were TopGoal and CoinMarketCap. TopGoal got 10,000 new users, 10,000 social media followers, and 10,000 wallets tied to their ecosystem. CoinMarketCap strengthened its position as the go-to hub for crypto airdrops. They didn't spend a dime on ads. They used their platform to host a campaign that gave them credibility and traffic. That's the hidden truth about airdrops: they're not for users. They're for projects trying to grow fast. And in that sense, TopGoal succeeded. They built a user base. They just didn't keep it. Is this airdrop still active? No. The campaign ended on November 6, 2022. The Google Form is gone. The registration page is offline. CoinMarketCap's airdrop section now shows zero active campaigns. That's a sign they've moved on. If you missed it, you can't join. There's no second chance. No replay. No refund. The NFTs you won are still yours - if you claimed them. But if you didn't, you lost your shot. What can you learn from this? This airdrop wasn't a failure. It was a case study. First: Airdrops can get you users, but they don't build products. If you want long-term value, you need utility. Not just a cool NFT. A game. A tool. A reason to come back. Second: Don't trust hype. TopGoal had a big name, a big partner, and a big campaign. But if you look at their metrics today, it's clear they didn't deliver on their promise. Always check the numbers - trading volume, holder count, community activity - not just the press releases. Third: If you're thinking about joining a future airdrop, don't just do it for free stuff. Ask: Will this project still exist in 6 months? Do they have a working product? Or are they just selling dreams? The TopGoal x CoinMarketCap NFT airdrop gave people a chance. But it didn't give them a future. And that's the difference between a successful campaign and a successful project. What's the current status of TopGoal (GOAL)? * Token price: $0.002805 USD * 24-hour volume: $21,876.67 USD * Market cap: $1.49 million * Circulating supply: 543.75 million GOAL * Total supply: 1 billion GOAL * Token holders: 30,180 * Exchange listings: Bitrue, MEXC, Gate.io The token still trades. The NFTs still exist. But the metaverse? Still not live. The project hasn't died - it's just sleeping. Should you still hold your TopGoal NFT? If you have one, you can hold it. It's not worthless. It's a piece of crypto history - a time when football and blockchain tried to collide. But don't expect it to skyrocket. There's no roadmap. No team updates. No major news. If you're holding it hoping for a big payout, you're likely to be disappointed. But if you like football NFTs and want to keep a digital collectible - go ahead. It's yours. Just don't bet on it. Could this happen again? Probably. CoinMarketCap might run another NFT airdrop. TopGoal might relaunch with a real game. But don't wait for it. The crypto space moves fast. What worked in 2022 won't work in 2026. If you want to get in on the next big thing, you need to be watching - not just signing up when it's already over. Follow projects that ship. Not projects that hype.
