"% of total stake" is the shares in this event against all the vested shares the person held that day, across every share class and holding entity, after that day's vesting. "n/a" means the person's holdings don't reconcile, or the row is a purchase. "Holdings record incomplete" means more shares were sold than the filings show the person held that day, so a percentage would be wrong.

What stands out

Three insiders sold shares but ended with larger stakes, because more shares came in than were sold: Frederick Thiel (sold 358K, 9.5% of starting holdings; 1.53M added), Zabi Nowaid (sold 112K, 14% of starting holdings; 402K added) and Douglas Mellinger (sold 8K, 4.7% of starting holdings; 83K added).Frederick Thiel: largest sale, Oct 17, 2025 · Zabi Nowaid: largest sale, Apr 17, 2026 · Douglas Mellinger: largest sale, Jun 22, 2026
Tax withholding outweighed market sales: the company withheld $16.4M of officers' and directors' shares for taxes, against $8.7M sold on the open market. The largest was Frederick Thiel ($8.2M withheld).Largest withholding, Apr 30, 2026

Percentages cover 8 of 9 officers and directors. Left out: Salman Khan (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled). Disclosed company stock is not an insider's whole wealth.

Who sold, and how much of their stake

Common questions

Is the MARA Holdings, Inc. CEO selling stock?

Yes. Frederick Thiel sold 358K shares ($4.1M, 9.5% of starting holdings) in the past 12 months, all of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are MARA Holdings, Inc. insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 95% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 5% were to cover taxes. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any MARA Holdings, Inc. insiders buying?

No. Officers and directors reported no purchases in the past 12 months.

How much of their stake did MARA Holdings, Inc. insiders sell?

About 9.2% overall. As a group they ended with more shares than they started with. That covers the 12 months to Oct 8, 2026 and counts vested shares reported on SEC Forms 3, 4 and 5, which is not an insider's whole wealth.

8 of 9 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (8 exactly, 0 with a minor or footnoted difference). For 1 we show sales but not holdings; the ! icon on that row explains why. Percentages cover 8 of 9 officers and directors. Left out: Salman Khan (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

What explains the selling$8.7M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $8.7M across 710,229 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

The lighter segment is sales with no plan disclosed in the filing ($480K), including tax-related sales outside a plan.

Taxes

$480K of sales (5.5%) cite tax obligations in their footnotes. Separately, 1,417,292 shares ($16.4M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale. Example: Zabi Nowaid, Nov 10, 2025

Open-market sales (Form 4 code S) by people who were officers or directors, in split-adjusted shares. Earlier years include people who have since left. A sale that an outside holder also reports (a family trust, a fund) is counted with outside holders in every year. Shares, not dollars, are compared, so a change in the stock price doesn't look like a change in selling. Years the filings don't fully cover are shown but left out of the average.

Known gaps and uncertainty1 insider whose holdings couldn't be fully reconciled

Salman Khan: holdings couldn't be fully reconciled (difference of -16,000 shares). Balance changed with no matching transaction and no footnote: -190,615 shares on Sep 17, 2026 (Direct). Filing, Sep 17, 2026

External context: we only cite outside events when a documented connection exists. None is shown for this period.

Sources and methodology353 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 353 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for MARA Holdings, Inc. (SEC CIK 1507605) from Apr 25, 2012 to Oct 7, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 8, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages.

Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.

Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
