In a post on X, Marathon wrote: “MARA is Team USA, proudly declared in each American-made bitcoin block we mine.”


Marathon Digital CEO Fred Thiel underscored the company’s commitment to labeling blocks made in the US with a stamp.

Thiel believes that Marathon is the only large-scale mining operator that can stamp Bitcoin with the label. “The only large scale miner who can do this because we run our own pool and ensure that all the blocks mined by MARA Pool are made in USA,” he added.Marathon Digital stunt follows Trump’s statement on Bitcoin


Marathon Digital’s latest stunt follows presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign promotion on his social media platform, Truth Social. In the post, Trump says he wants all the remaining Bitcoin to be “Made in the USA.”


The former US president claimed that BTC may be the country’s “last line of defense” against a central bank digital currency (CBDC). While Trump’s comments warn of a looming CBDC and the need for BTC to fight it, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said in March that the country is “nowhere near” any form of CBDC.


At the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Thiel said that Bitcoin mining may “flourish” under a Trump administration. The executive said in a panel discussion that Republicans have “seized the day” on the topic and that the people have no idea what Democrats are planning for their energy policy.

In addition to stamping BTC with a label, Marathon Digital has also been going “full hodl” on BTC. On July 25, the company acquired $100 million BTC as a treasury reserve asset. The mining firm said that it will “HODL,” a slang term derived from the misspelling of “hold,” which is also an acronym for “hold on for dear life.”


On Aug. 12, the company announced a $250 million offering of senior convertible notes for institutional buyers. The company said it will use the money raised to buy more Bitcoin.
