Quote: “MARA Holdings clarified that a recent transfer of 1,292 BTC valued at about $98.6 million was a loan repayment, not a new Bitcoin purchase as initially reported by on-chain analytics. The coins had been loaned out through FalconX and their return was misinterpreted as a fresh acquisition.”
How we checked this
Checked on September 26, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The source confirms the amount, value, FalconX involvement and that this was a loan repayment rather than a purchase. However, it describes the coins being returned to MARA after MARA had lent them out, not MARA sending them to repay a loan, and it uses the name MARA Holdings rather than Marathon Digital.
Confirmed in the source:
- MARA Holdings said a transfer of 1,292 BTC was a loan repayment, not a new Bitcoin purchase
- The 1,292 BTC were valued at about $98.6 million
- The coins had been loaned out through FalconX
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- The source does not name 'Marathon Digital'; it refers only to MARA Holdings
- That MARA itself transferred the 1,292 BTC to repay a loan; the source says MARA had loaned the coins out through FalconX and the transfer was their return to MARA
That does not mean it is false — only that this source does not establish it, as of the date above. If we find a source that settles it, we will re-check and update this page.
