Marathon Digital turned the Bitcoin decline into an opportunity.

Bitcoin's sharp decline on Friday caught the attention of investors and miners. The US-based major mining company Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA) seized this opportunity and purchased 400 Bitcoin. The acquisition, valued at approximately $45.9 million, was executed through the company's partner FalconX, according to Arkham Intelligence data.

With this strategic move, Marathon's total Bitcoin holdings reached 52,850 Bitcoin. The total value of the Bitcoin held by the company is estimated to be around $6.06 billion. Marathon's purchase reflects a tendency among miners and institutional investors to accumulate during volatile periods, reminiscent of previous market cycles.

Despite producing 218 blocks in September and a 9% increase in network hashrate, the company managed to increase its production by only 5%, demonstrating its operational efficiency. In the collapse on Friday, the price of Bitcoin experienced a 13% drop within just one hour, declining to levels around $103,000. While the sudden selling wave was attributed to new tariff threats between the US and China, some analysts argue that the primary cause of the decline was technical issues on the Binance side.

Bitcoin is currently trading in the $115,268 range. Investors can evaluate potential investment opportunities by monitoring Marathon's actions and general market dynamics. Making strategic purchases in volatile markets can create an important roadmap for long-term investors.
