In a stunning display of financial bravery, Bitcoin mining juggernaut MARA has announced it will raise almost $1 billion to buy even more Bitcoin. Because, you know, who needs risk management when you can apparently just keep buying the same asset until you overflow like a crypto cult leader at an altar piled high with shaky returns.
An anonymous source, who claimed to be a sentient whale considering a liquidity test, remarked, “They’re more committed to holding Bitcoin than I am to my latest obsession with alpaca farming. Besides, I hear MARA’s next plan is to shoot for the moon. You might as well use debt to feed your Bitcoin addiction—what’s a little leverage between friends?”
Originally, MARA aimed to raise $850 million, but upon witnessing the collective glee of institutional buyers—who often sprinkle a little pixie dust on their spreadsheets—they upped their humble ask to a staggering $950 million! That’s right, MARA is now officially the second-largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, right behind MicroStrategy—who’s been riding the crypto wave long enough that they might just be preparing to launch “MSTR Yoga: Stress Relief for Overleveraged Execs.”
You see, MARA announced a bold “HODL” strategy; basically, they’ve decided to never sell their Bitcoin. This could easily be rebranded as the hunt for Bitcoin immortality, where you hoard a digital asset that fluctuates like a Kardashian’s mood. After all, with Bitcoin recently nosediving from a staggering high of $123,000 to a manageable $118,000—due to, you know, things—MARA figured the only logical step was to mortgage their financial existence to buy more tokens that might phase out like a 1980s sci-fi flick.
Just how committed is MARA to this endeavor? They are mining Bitcoin at such alarming levels, you’d think they were trying to resurrect Satoshi Nakamoto from a crypto grave. They’ll be hosting a new reality show called “Keeping Up with the Cryptokeepers” where viewers can witness them sweating through sleepless nights as they pray to the cryptocurrency gods for favorable regulations and a bull market to revive their sagging stocks.
Statistically speaking—if we assume the average American’s investment portfolio is stuffed with oversized memes—73.8% of MARA’s shareholders are speculating their investment will someday be mentioned in the same breath as “doomsday preppers” and “eccentric billionaires.”
As a solution, experts suggest that MARA considers diversifying into **fartcoin**, a newly launched token that combines the volatility of new startups with the delightful scent of irresponsibility. After all, it seems more appealing than relying solely on assets that could blow up in their faces faster than an ethereal firework.
