On November 18th, COINOTAG News reported that MARA, a prominent player in the Bitcoin mining sector, has unveiled plans to enhance its Bitcoin reserves through a substantial $700 million offering of convertible senior notes. This financing strategy is expected to be secured by MARA’s unsecured senior debt, with interest payments scheduled on a semi-annual basis, commencing March 1, 2025.
The firm intends to allocate approximately $200 million of the funds generated from the notes’ issuance towards repurchasing some of its convertible notes maturing in 2026. The remaining proceeds will be earmarked for acquiring additional Bitcoin and funding corporate initiatives, which may encompass working capital, strategic acquisitions, and enhancements of existing assets, in addition to servicing other debts and obligations.
