<p>According to the latest post from the on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain, Marathon Digital Holdings purchased another 1,423 Bitcoins. The post further mentioned the closing announcement of MARA’s second $850 million convertible note offering. It even cited Arkham Intelligence <a href="https://intel.arkm.com/explorer/entity/mara-pool" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">data</a> to support the fact.&nbsp;</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-mara-bitcoin-purchase-with-convertible-note-offering">MARA Bitcoin Purchase With Convertible Note Offering</h3>
<p>Marathon Digital Holdings <a href="https://ir.mara.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/1379/mara-holdings-inc-completes-1-billion-offering-of-0-convertible-senior-notes-due-2030" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced</a> a $1B 0% convertible note offering due 2030 in the last month. With this offering, MARA purchased an additional <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/mara-holds-total-34794-btc-with-recent-703-bitcoin-purchase/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">703 Bitcoins</a>. This debt financing strategy started with <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/microstrategy-boosts-note-offering-to-2-6b-eyes-bitcoin-rally-to-100k/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Microstrategy</a>, which also purchased Bitcoins with a $2.9 B convertible note offering.&nbsp;</p>
<p>MARA announced the <a href="https://x.com/MARAHoldings/status/1864429899601109352" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">closing</a> of its 0% second convertible note offering yesterday. As it clearly mentioned, MARA used the proceeds to acquire Bitcoin. The firm also mentioned a partial purchase of existing convertible notes due 2026 with the remaining proceeds.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-bitcoin-falls-to-98-000-price-range">Bitcoin Falls to $98,000 Price Range</h3>
<p>After Bitcoin reached its all-time high value of $103,713 yesterday, shooting past the most awaited $100,000 milestone, it is now <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">trading</a> in the $98,000 price range. Bitcoin price dropped 4% in the last 24 hours and the market cap also dropped by over 4%, hovering close to $2 trillion. However, an 11% increase in 24-hour trading volume indicates a further BTC price surge.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, MARA Bitcoin purchase might halt for now since its second convertible note offering is closed. The fact that these big institutional investments are happening during the peak of the market instead of in the bear market, when Bitcoin’s price is at a discount, indicating institutional FOMO, is noteworthy.&nbsp;</p>
