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.

If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex.
