HODL

Bitcoin

Marathon Digital Holdings, a major player in the digital asset space, has revealed a noteworthy acquisition of $100 million worth of bitcoin, increasing its holdings to over 20,000 BTC. 
The <a href="https://ir.mara.com/investors/news-events/press-releases/detail/1363/mara-purchases-100-million-of-bitcoin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">announcement</a> also said that the company has also adopted a full HODL strategy, indicating that they will retain all bitcoin mined and make strategic open market purchases periodically. 
Salman Khan, the CFO, stated that the company held all its Bitcoin prior to last year. They are reintroducing this strategy due to improving macro conditions and favorable market factors. The recent price drop and the company’s strong financial position allowed them to increase their bitcoin holdings and support the digital asset ecosystem. 
Nearly a year after Marathon started selling the bitcoin it had generated to pay for running costs, the company has decided to HODL. Before the current bull market, the majority of miners, including Marathon, kept all of the bitcoin that they had mined, which was profitable. 
However, several miners were compelled to sell their holdings due to the previous year’s market slump; Marathon was among the last to do so in early 2023. Marathon Digital’s Chairman and CEO, Fred Thiel, highlighted that adopting a full HODL strategy demonstrates their confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value. 
“We view Bitcoin as the world’s premier treasury reserve asset and advocate for its inclusion in sovereign wealth funds. We urge both governments and corporations to consider holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset,” he stated. 
After a prolonged bear market, bitcoin began recovering this year following BlackRock’s approval to offer spot BTC ETFs in the U.S. This led to increased investor interest and a new all-time high. Though it has since fallen from a peak of over $70,000, it is currently trading around $64,000, up 51% this year.
