Chaebol - the only thing the mara has done right (admittedly, better than everyone else) is take advantage of financial markets in the US and raise capital. They then placed huge orders for rigs and then took advantage of the surrounding hype, raised more funds and bought a large chunk of BTC. Mara has certainly under-performed wrt execution (delays), and surprise surprise, are now seriously looking into immersion cooling. What happens with the class action lawsuit remains to be seen, but it will most definitely remain a drag on the SP until resolved. As far as "putting the miners in containers" is concerned, I seem to recall that this is how the rigs are set-up, like a module, so all one has to do is rack up / install the miners in the container, put the containers in a building, plug in the power source and begin mining. The containers are not to be seen as "storage" units but as mining modules, as far as I know. You or me and anyone else with a billion bucks could copy the Mara strategy - place huge orders with Bitmain and then arrange for core-scientific to handle the hosting. I prefer the PW strategy. To each his own.
