After this purchase, the total bitcoin holding of Riot has reached 16,728.&nbsp; At the current market price of Bitcoin, at around $100,303 per BTC, these holdings are now valued at approximately $1.68 billion.
Riot’s strategy seems to be focusing on expanding its Bitcoin reserves, positioning itself as a major holder of the cryptocurrency.
In August, Riot Platforms <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/08/01/riot-platforms-reports-84-4-million-net-loss-for-q2-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">revealed a Q2 2024 net loss of $84.4 million</a>, or $0.32 per share, its first quarterly loss since Q4 2022.
This latest purchase of Bitcoin reflects broader trends in the crypto industry, where institutional investors and large companies are increasingly holding onto Bitcoin as a store of value.&nbsp;
