The Logic Behind the Bull Stance
Chairman and CEO Fred Thiel underlined the logic of this decision.

He noted Bitcoin’s current positive conditions, including growing institutional support and the broader macroeconomic environment, as key factors in their decision. Khan also stated that the recent decline in Bitcoin prices, combined with MARA’s strong supply, presents an ideal opportunity to increase their holdings.
