According to Bitcoin Magazine, the company has also unveiled a new treasury policy for an entire HODL approach.

The chairman and chief executive officer, Fred Thiel, remained optimistic about Bitcoin’s long-term value.

“We believe Bitcoin is the world’s best treasury reserve asset and support the idea of sovereign wealth funds holding it. We encourage governments and corporations to all hold Bitcoin as a reserve asset”, Thiel said.

Marathon Digital’s Technological Expertise and Future Plans

Salman Khan, the chief financial officer of MARA, noted that before last year, Marathon Digital held all its Bitcoin. With the tailwinds for Bitcoin in place now, increased institutional support, and an improving macro environment, the company is putting this strategy into action again.

Khan pointed out that a recent decline in Bitcoin’s price, coupled with Marathon Digital’s robust balance sheet, presented an opportunity to increase its holdings.

Besides its Bitcoin buying strategy, Marathon Digital believes in leveraging its technological expertise further to support Bitcoin and the broader digital asset ecosystem. As recently as last month, Marathon Digital revealed it was using heat from its Bitcoin mining to heat a town of 11,000 residents in Finland.
