MARA adds 1,000 BTC to its treasury after Q1 selloff, despite softer spot demand
MARA (formerly Marathon Digital) reportedly bought an additional 1,000 bitcoin, increasing its BTC holdings to about 36,303. The purchases were described as being executed via FalconX and follow earlier activity in which the company sold bitcoin during Q1 [1] [2].
The reported shift back toward adding to its Bitcoin treasury comes after a period of selling, with multiple outlets framing the move as a strategy reversal. Blockonomi also linked the decision to weaker spot-demand conditions, noting ongoing ETF outflows and reduced buying intensity in the broader market structure [3] [4].
Crypto Briefing earlier reported that Marathon Digital purchased $66 million worth of bitcoin as part of its latest treasury play, emphasizing how the company’s Bitcoin strategy can affect stock volatility by tying investor outcomes to Bitcoin price movements and mining performance [5].
