ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, April 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Syntec Optics Holdings, Inc. (“Syntec Optics” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: OPTX), a leading provider of technology solutions for defense, communications, biomedical, and consumer end-markets, today announced significant development progress on its new data center connectivity optics and military integrated scope optics.

In Q1 2025, the company provided a pre-production lot of new products for optical connectivity in data centers.

In addition, in Q1 2025, the company hired more engineers and added dedicated leadership on the product line for critical optics used in the new generation of U.S. defense integrated scopes.

Tailwinds are a positive factor. Due to the increasing deployment of artificial intelligence, there is a growing need for optical connectivity in data centers. Driven by the military’s effort to modernize equipment, there is a growing need for integrated optics scopes.

“Our continued focus on dedicated advanced manufacturing cells in our facility is yielding tangible results,” said Mike Ransford, Site Leader and head of operations at Syntec Optics.

“Seeing our engineering team react quickly and work around the clock to overcome technical challenges for the micro-level products that separate or combine optical signals demonstrates our ability to deliver high-quality, high-volume solutions.”

“This expansion ensures we can meet the escalating demands of the data center market,” said Beth Blood, Program Manager at Syntec Optics.

Simultaneously, Syntec Optics is progressing with establishing scalable optics manufacturing solutions for next-generation U.S. defense scopes while fulfilling orders from last year. The company’s expertise in precision optics is vital for making sophisticated systems that enhance situational awareness and operational capabilities for defense.

“We are strategically positioned to build on the increasing demand for advanced optics in both the communications and defense sectors,” said Matt Carey, head of business development and delivery at Syntec Optics.

“Our ability to scale production while maintaining exceptional quality is a key differentiator. We are committed to continuing to innovate and expand our capabilities to support our customers’ evolving needs,” Matt added.

Fort Lauderdale, FL, April 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —


MARA Holdings, Inc.


(NASDAQ:


MARA


) (“MARA” or the “Company”), a global leader in leveraging digital asset compute to support energy transformation, today published unaudited bitcoin (“bitcoin” or “BTC”) production updates for March 2025.

Management Commentary

“In March, our production saw a 17% month-over-month increase in blocks won, even as global hashrate and mining difficulty grew,” said Fred Thiel, MARA’s chairman and CEO. “Our bitcoin holdings surpassed 47,000 BTC during March and the 242 blocks mined were the third most in a month on record.

“MARAPool is the only self-owned and operated mining pool among public miners, offering distinctive control and efficiency. Operating our own pool means no fees to external operators, higher earnings and superior performance. MARA Pool’s luck factor has exceeded the network average by over 10% since launch, meaning more blocks mined and higher rewards.

“Energized hashrate grew 1% over February and we expect to finish construction of our 40-megawatt data center in Ohio by the end of April. We will continue to focus on being the dominant player in bitcoin mining while expanding our footprint in energy generation.”

Operational Highlights and Updates
