According to PANews, Bitcoin mining company MARA Holdings, Inc. has successfully completed a $1 billion convertible senior notes offering. This includes $150 million in notes issued under a purchase option granted to initial buyers, which was exercised in full on November 19, 2024, with the additional purchase finalized on November 20, 2024.
After accounting for discounts and commissions to the initial purchasers, the net proceeds from the sale of the notes amount to approximately $980 million. MARA plans to allocate around $199 million of these net proceeds to repurchase its existing convertible notes due in 2026, which have a total principal amount of $212 million, through privately negotiated transactions. The remaining net proceeds will be used to acquire additional Bitcoin and for general corporate purposes. These purposes may include working capital, strategic acquisitions, expansion of existing assets, repayment of additional debt, and other outstanding obligations.
