<p>The American crypto mining company also said that as part of its new approach, Marathon Digital will retain all Bitcoin mined in its operations and will “periodically make strategic open market purchases.” Marathon Digital chief executive Fred Thiel, addressing the purchase, said that the strategy “reflects our confidence in the long-term value” of Bitcoin, encouraging governments and corporations to “all hold Bitcoin as a reserve asset.”</p>

<p>Marathon Digital’s chief financial officer, Salman Khan, said the company boosted its crypto balance sheet as Bitcoin’s recent price decline afforded the miner “an opportunity to add to our holdings.” Despite the news, Marathon Digital shares (MARA) traded at -2.4% in pre-market, as per <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/mara/pre-market" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">data</a> from Nasdaq.</p>
<p>The purchase aligns with Marathon’s goal to double its mining capacity in 2024, aiming to achieve a hash rate of 50 EH/s. As crypto.news <a href="https://crypto.news/marathon-to-double-bitcoin-mining-capacity-by-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reported</a> earlier, Marathon’s operations recently achieved a hash rate of 24.7 EH/s, surpassing rivals Core Scientific and Riot Platforms. If Marathon meets its 50 EH/s target, it will have more than doubled its hash rate since the start of 2024.</p>
