<p>Marathon Digital <a href="https://x.com/MARAHoldings/status/1861848253362274469" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">disclosed</a> that it had executed note buybacks worth $200 million and retained $160 million in capital for additional Bitcoin purchases. The company hinted at employing a “buy the dip” strategy. Mara also updated its year-to-date BTC yield to a 36.7% increase, using a metric that measures the growth of BTC holdings relative to share dilution.</p> 
<p>The use of BTC yield as a performance indicator has gained traction among corporate Bitcoin holders, particularly after convertible note offerings. MicroStrategy pioneered this trend over four years of Bitcoin acquisitions, <a href="https://crypto.news/microstrategys-bitcoin-plan-gobbles-another-5-4b/" target="_blank">financed</a> partly through stock and note sales.</p>
