Mara bought $1.5b Bitcoin, plans to acquire more

Marathon Holdings restocked over $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin using proceeds from its convertible note offering. Bitcoin ( BTC ) infrastructure firm Marathon Holdings acquired 15,574 BTC for an estimated $1.53 billion after raising nearly $2 billion through a 0% convertible note sale in November and December. Marathon shared a Securities and Exchange Commission Form 8-K filing on Dec. 19, revealing it bought its latest BTC tranche at an average price of $98,529 per Bitcoin. U.S. publicly traded companies use Form 8-K documents to disclose developments relevant to shareholders. Marathon Holdings now holds 44,394 BTC, worth a staggering $4.45 billion when the leading cryptocurrency was trading at $100,151. The BTC miner also disclosed approximately $263 million in note buybacks. According to a Marathon post on X, the remaining note sale proceeds—about $132 million—will be used to buy more Bitcoin.

Saylor’s general response to these critiques likened BTC to New York real estate in its early days. The MicroStrategy chairman has often stated that Bitcoin, like New York property, will appreciate indefinitely, allowing companies to continue issuing debt to finance further BTC purchases.
