<p>Combined with the purchase of <a href="https://coincu.com/296285-mara-bitcoin-investment-boosted/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">11,774 BTC announced last week</a>, MARA's total holdings of the most valuable cryptocurrency as of December 19th, 2024, are 44,394 BTC (equivalent to $4.45 billion), with an average MARA Bitcoin investment portfolio price of $100,151. MARA currently ranks second on the list of publicly traded companies with the largest Bitcoin holdings globally.</p>  
<p>MicroStrategy still leads the list with a total of 439,000 BTC—a total unrealized gain of over $18 billion after its most recent <a href="https://coincu.com/297224-microstrategy-bitcoin-acquisition-of-15350-btc/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">purchase on December 16th</a>. In the past month alone, MicroStrategy has spent $17.1 billion to acquire 186,780 BTC, bringing its total BTC holdings to $44.8 billion!</p>
