The United States-listed Bitcoin mining firm Riot Platforms (RIOT) has acquired a significant 5,117 Bitcoin (BTC) for $510 million. These notable acquisitions occurred when BTC was trading near its all-time high, indicating massive adoption and heightened interest in the world’s largest cryptocurrency.

RIOT’s Bitcoin Holding Rises to 16,728 BTC

With the recent purchase, Riot’s holdings have now risen to 16,728 BTC, valued at approximately $1.7 billion (a 40% increase from its previous holdings).

However, RIOT acquired this notable BTC after raising $500 million through Convertible Senior Notes, as shared by Riot Platforms on X (formerly Twitter).

The decision to purchase this significant amount of BTC was made on December 9, 2024. The firm joined Core Scientific and Marathon Digital, both of which purchased BTC by issuing Convertible Notes in August and November 2024.

Additionally, these notable BTC acquisitions follow MicroStrategy (MSTR) and Marathon Digital’s recent billion-dollar Bitcoin purchases.

Bitcoin Current Price Momentum 

Despite this notable BTC purchase, the BTC price remains unchanged. Currently, it is trading near $100,840 and has registered a price decline of 0.65% in the past 24 hours. However, during the same period, its trading volume has declined by 22%, indicating lower participation from traders and investors compared to previous days.

This ongoing accumulation by industry giants signals a potential buying opportunity and suggests a possible upside rally in the coming days.
