What is it: This shows bitcoin's ROI vs other potential inflation hedge assets.

Why it matters: As with the historical bitcoin price table, we see bitcoin's extreme outperformance vs other assets here as well. Bitcoin's relatively small size, plus fundamental properties, yield extreme outperformance when even relatively small funds-flows find their way to BTC.

Publicly Listed Marathon Patent Group Converts $150mm of Corp Treasury to BTC


The Block   -  4 years ago

 

Marathon Patent Group - a Nasdaq-listed bitcoin mining company, announced that they converted a little under a third of their corporate treasury to BTC. The purchase totaled about $150 million.


As reported by The Block, Marathon CEO Merrick Okamoto explained:

By leveraging our cash on hand to invest in bitcoin now, we have transformed our potential to be a pure-play investment into a reality... We also believe that holding part of our treasury reserves in bitcoin will be a better long-term strategy than holding U.S. dollars, similar to other forward-thinking companies like MicroStrategy.

tldr

  • The purchase price was around $31,135, suggesting this is another example of a company using bitcoin's recent price dip as a buying opportunity.
  • Marathon Patent Group was already involved in the bitcoin industry, so this action is less surprising than MicroStrategy's original BTC treasury purchase last year.
  • The CEO's comments suggest part of the motivation for the move was to turn $MARA stock into more of 'pure-play' spot-BTC alternative
