Top Crypto Miner Boosts Bitcoin Holdings with $249M Purchase
Marathon Digital, a leading player in the crypto mining sector, has expanded its Bitcoin reserves by purchasing an additional $249 million worth of the cryptocurrency.
On August 14, the company announced the acquisition of approximately 4,144 BTC at an average price of $59,500 per token, boosting its total holdings to over 25,000 BTC.
This significant purchase was funded by the proceeds from a successful $300 million senior notes offering. The senior notes, due in September 2031, have an interest rate of 2.125% and are convertible into cash, Marathon stock, or both.
Marathon plans to use the remaining proceeds for further Bitcoin acquisitions and general corporate purposes, including potential strategic acquisitions.
