Related to Adair and Engle v. MARA, consolidated before Judge Reed O'Connor.
What the case is about
Nine property owners from four families sued MARA Holdings, formerly Marathon Digital, in federal court over the Granbury bitcoin mine, alleging its industrial cooling fans run around the clock and produce noise, vibration, and low-frequency sound that penetrate their homes. Their properties sit between roughly 0.01 and 0.89 miles from the facility. The complaint asserts private nuisance, negligence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, and says the plaintiffs have lost the use and enjoyment of their land and allege diminished property values. It notes two earlier related suits — Adair and Engle — already consolidated before the same judge.
Why it matters
Filed in May 2026, it is the newest wave in the Granbury litigation — a sign the dispute keeps drawing in more landowners rather than winding down.
