MARA 通过超额认购可转换优先票据发行筹集了 3 亿美元资金。我们用收益购买了 4,144 个 BTC（价值约 2.49 亿美元）

Bitcoin (BTC) mining company Marathon Digital (NASDAQ: MARA) has announced the purchase of 4,144 Bitcoin, valued at approximately $249 million, following a $300 million offering of convertible senior notes.

比特币 (BTC) 矿业公司 Marathon Digital（纳斯达克股票代码：MARA）宣布购买 4,144 枚比特币，价值约 2.49 亿美元，此前发行了 3 亿美元的可转换优先票据。

The company disclosed in a statement on Friday that it acquired the Bitcoin between August 12 and 14, at an average price of $59,500 per Bitcoin, including fees and expenses.

该公司在周五的一份声明中披露，它在 8 月 12 日至 14 日期间收购了比特币，平均价格为每个比特币 59,500 美元，包括费用和开支。

Marathon Digital stated that it had planned to use the remaining proceeds from the note offering for additional Bitcoin acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.

Marathon Digital 表示，计划将票据发行的剩余收益用于额外的比特币收购和其他一般公司用途。

“We currently own and operate approximately 54% of the 1.1 gigawatts of power in our diversified portfolio of digital asset compute,” said Fred Thiel, Marathon's Chairman and CEO. “We will continue making owned and operated sites a greater percentage of our fleet over time and expect to see cost savings on a cost per petahash basis as this occurs. Longer-term, our intention is to be amongst the lower cost operators in the industry.”

Marathon 董事长兼首席执行官 Fred Thiel 表示：“我们目前拥有并运营着我们多元化的数字资产计算投资组合中 1.1 吉瓦电力的约 54%。” “随着时间的推移，我们将继续让自有和运营的站点在我们的机群中所占的比例更大，并期望在这种情况下能够以每 Petahash 的成本为基础节省成本。从长远来看，我们的目标是成为业内成本较低的运营商之一。”

The company, which is the largest cryptocurrency miner on Wall Street, now holds over 25,000 Bitcoin. Clean Spark (NASDAQ: CLSK), which is in second place, is almost half its size.

该公司是华尔街最大的加密货币矿商，目前持有超过 25,000 枚比特币。排名第二的 Clean Spark（纳斯达克股票代码：CLSK）的规模几乎是其一半。

Marathon Digital's market capitalization would have been higher if not for recent declines, triggered by a $138 million penalty imposed on the company by a court.

如果不是最近法院对 Marathon Digital 处以 1.38 亿美元的罚款，导致该公司股价下跌，该​​公司的市值可能会更高。

The verdict, issued in federal court, found that Marathon violated a non-disclosure and non-circumvention agreement with Michael Ho, the Director of Strategy at Marathon's direct competitor, Hut 8.

联邦法院做出的判决认为，Marathon 违反了与 Marathon 直接竞争对手 Hut 8 的战略总监 Michael Ho 签订的保密和非规避协议。

Marathon addressed the issue, stating that while they respect the decision, they are convinced that "the jury reached the wrong conclusion."

马拉松解决了这个问题，表示虽然他们尊重这一决定，但他们相信“陪审团得出了错误的结论”。

“There was no wrongdoing on the company’s part,” Marathon Digital commented in a statement sent to Finance Magnates. “We also believe that the damages awarded have no legal basis. We intend to challenge this verdict and commence the appeal process as soon as practicable.”

“公司方面没有任何不当行为，”Marathon Digital 在发给Finance Magnates 的一份声明中评论道。 “我们还认为，所判的损害赔偿没有法律依据。我们打算对这一判决提出质疑，并在可行的情况下尽快启动上诉程序。”
