Currently, Bitcoin experiencing a solid rise in price due in part to the overall market and the current banking crisis. As it stands now, BTC is trading at around $28,000 – a dramatic increase versus the beginning of 2023 but far off its all-time highs.

This led to the record amount of Bitcoin created during March, delivering a 21% increase month over month and a record 2,195 BTC in Q1 2023

Marathon adds that as of April 1, it holds a total of 11,466 BTC, all of which are unrestricted. Marathon reports $124.9 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet at the end of March.
