<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="mara-bitcoin-investment-boosted-with-1-1-billion-purchase">MARA Bitcoin Investment Boosted with $1.1 Billion Purchase</h2>  
<p><a href="https://coincu.com/294812-new-mara-convertible-notes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">MARA</a> confirmed the purchase in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and shared details on X.</p>  
<p>MARA Bitcoin investment was financed using proceeds from the company's issuance of zero-interest convertible notes. This purchase took the holdings of MARA to 40,435 BTC, valued at approximately $3.9 billion, using the current spot price of $96,500 as of December 9, 2024.</p>  
<p>Besides the purchase, MARA posted year-to-date Bitcoin returns of 47.6% and quarter-to-date returns of 12.3%, underlining its profitability in the highly volatile cryptocurrency market. This feat has caught the attention of. <span style="margin: 0px;padding: 0px">MicroStrategy co-founder and avid Bitcoin proponent.</span> <a href="https://coincu.com/288617-microstrategy-founder-michael-saylor-criticized/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><span style="margin: 0px;padding: 0px">Mic</span>hael Saylor</a> publicly&nbsp;recognized&nbsp;MARA's strong returns.</p>  
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="second-largest-public-bitcoin-holder-secures-40-435-btc">Second-Largest Public Bitcoin Holder Secures 40,435 BTC</h2>  
<p>MARA Bitcoin investment is in quick succession after <a href="https://coincu.com/296064-microstrategy-bitcoin-purchase-expands/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">MicroStrategy</a> recently bought 21,550 BTC for $2.1 billion. MicroStrategy remains the largest public company holding <a href="https://coincu.com/296225-479m-spot-bitcoin-etf-inflows-eight-day-streak/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a>, with 423,650 BTC by a big margin over MARA. The new purchase, however, cements MARA's position as the second-largest corporate holder of Bitcoin.</p>  
<p>This shows a deeper rivalry between Marathon Digital and MicroStrategy over being major players in corporate Bitcoin investment. The rivalry only grows stronger by the day, it would appear, with the greater interest taken from public companies in the virtual asset.</p>
