Riot Platforms Inc., a leading force in Bitcoin mining, has made a substantial move to bolster its cryptocurrency holdings.
The company recently announced the purchase of 5,117 Bitcoin, spending approximately $510 million.
This latest acquisition reflects the ongoing trend of institutional investors, particularly Wall Street firms, increasing their Bitcoin positions.
Earlier this week, Riot revealed plans to raise $500 million through a convertible bond offering, aimed at funding additional Bitcoin purchases.
The latest acquisition, made using the funds from this bond issue, brought the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 16,728 BTC.
With the current market price of Bitcoin sitting at $100,303, Riot’s Bitcoin stash is now valued at an impressive $1.68 billion.
This strategic investment further solidifies Riot Platforms’ position as a major player in the cryptocurrency space.
