Bitcoin (BTC-USD) is headed for its third worst week of the year as the crypto market is under pressure. Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA) CEO Fred Thiel joins Catalysts to discuss bitcoin's movement and how Marathon Digital Holdings handles the cryptocurrency's volatility. Thiel points to several issues facing bitcoin that are causing an increased supply in the market. First, Germany's criminal bureau is selling about 50,000 BTC. Japanese bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox is set to distribute a large volume of bitcoin in July as part of its bankruptcy. In addition, miners are selling large amounts of bitcoin to continue to fund and expand their operations. Thiel states that "bitcoin is historically very volatile," adding that Marathon Digital Holdings has a "very strong balance sheet" to deal with the cryptocurrency's swings. He explains that Marathon is focused on diversifying the business, starting a technology division to focus on areas getting a boost from bitcoin mining and the AI race, such as liquid cooling. He adds that the business is also focused on energy harvesting, leveraging bitcoin mining to generate new revenue streams. Thiel points to Marathon's recent initiative in Finland to heat 11,000 homes with the heat from its data center.
