Top American Bitcoin miner Marathon Digital (renamed to MARA) has added an additional 6,474 Bitcoin worth roughly $615 million through its recent 0% $1 billion convertible notes offering. The Bitcoin mining giant has set aside $160 million in remaining proceeds to buy more of the leading cryptocurrency at market dips.

In a Nov. 28 post on the X platform, MARA announced that it acquired an additional 703 BTC following the initial purchase of 5,771 Bitcoins last week at an average of $95,395 per coin. The year-to-date, per-share yield of MARA’s BTC is 36.7%. Marathon Holdings currently holds roughly 34,794 BTC in its treasury, valued at a whopping $3.3 billion.

The latest BTC purchase follows the Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based mining company’s move last week when it successfully closed its $1 billion offering of 0% convertible senior notes due 2030. 

The company plans to allocate roughly $160 million remaining from the existing debt raise to acquire more Bitcoin at low costs during price corrections.

Marathon’s latest offering comes as several firms globally begin acquiring and holding Bitcoin on their balance sheet following a market rally that has catapulted the price of the world’s oldest crypto to more than $94,000.

The most prominent include MicroStrategy, holding $36 billion in Bitcoin, and Japan’s Metaplanet, which has snapped up over 1,018 BTC this year, worth roughly $109 million to date.

Marathon’s BTC stash represents 0.16% of Bitcoin’s total circulating supply, while MicroStrategy controls nearly 1.9%.

“Bitcoin is definitely something every company should have on its balance sheet,” MARA CEO Fred Thiel said in a Yahoo Finance interview, citing the apex crypto’s fixed supply as a hedge against runaway inflation and fiat currency debasement.

With firms like MicroStrategy and Marathon making big long-term bets on Bitcoin, China-based financial services conglomerate SOS Ltd, which operates a U.S. mining pool, is also joining the BTC craze. SOS Ltd announced on Wednesday that its board of directors had approved a $50 million Bitcoin purchase as part of its “long-term belief in Bitcoin’s role as a store of value and a strategic asset.
