MARA reportedly buys 1,000 Bitcoin after Q1 sales 
The purchase was valued at about $66.7 million, based on the reported price level at the time of the transfer. Meanwhile, the miner has not issued a direct statement confirming the transaction. For that reason, the purchase remains an on-chain analytics claim. Still, the report drew attention because it followed a large sale period earlier this year. 
MARA’s first-quarter filing showed that the company sold about 20,880 BTC during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The sales generated about $1.5 billion at an average price of $70,137 per Bitcoin. The company said it used the sales to fund operations, support growth plans, and manage liquidity. MARA also changed its digital asset policy in 2026, allowing it to sell Bitcoin held on its balance sheet. Before that change, its policy focused on selling newly mined Bitcoin.
In addition, part of the Q1 sales funded a $1 billion repurchase of MARA’s 0.00% convertible senior notes due in 2030 and 2031. The company sold 15,133 BTC between March 4 and March 25 for about $1.1 billion to support that transaction.
