Leading Bitcoin $94,395 miner Marathon Digital (MARA) has once again captured the attention of the market with its recent BTC acquisition. According to recent data, the company obtained an additional 1,300 BTC this week after its purchase of 1,423 Bitcoin earlier. This move followed the completion of its second convertible bond offering valued at $850 million, aiming to boost its Bitcoin purchasing plans.
Progress of Marathon Digital’s Bitcoin Acquisitions
Prominent players on Wall Street continue to shift towards digital assets, maintaining their institutional interest in the leading cryptocurrency despite BTC’s rise to $100,000. Recent data indicates that Marathon Digital (MARA) has accelerated its BTC purchasing strategy with these transactions.
Marathon’s total acquisition of 2,723 BTC has enhanced market sentiment. Following these purchases, the BTC price remained above 1%, reaching a recent value of $99,531. However, the 24-hour trading volume for cryptocurrencies dropped to $93.57 billion, with BTC’s highest price in 24 hours recorded at $102,039.88.
Active Participation from Bitcoin Whales
According to CoinGlass data, the open interest in BTC futures has declined by 0.5%, falling to $61.25 billion. Nevertheless, a slight recovery was observed in the short term. Additionally, reports indicate that Bitcoin whales have also joined in the buying activities.
Ali Martinez stated, “Whales accumulated approximately 20,000 BTC yesterday, worth about $2 billion.”
This situation showcases strong confidence in the asset. After successfully completing its second $850 million convertible bond offering, Marathon Digital aims to accelerate its Bitcoin purchasing strategy and partially repurchase existing bonds maturing in 2026. Bitcoin is expected to break the record price of $103,900.
These developments in the Bitcoin market present significant opportunities for market participants and signal positive prospects for the future of digital assets. The increase in BTC purchases and sustained market interest may contribute to the cryptocurrency’s stabilization.
