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.
