In the latest announcement, Marathon Digital has revealed its plans to offer $700 million in convertible senior notes due 2031 in a private offering, subject to market conditions and other factors. Notably, it also allows the initial purchasers to buy an additional $105 million in notes within 13 days after the initial issuance.
The company specified that the notes are intended for qualified institutional buyers and will be unsecured, senior obligations of MARA, with no expected interest or accrete. Special interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2025.
The notes will be convertible into cash, shares of MARA’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of MARA’s common stock at MARA’s election. MARA expects to use up to $50 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to repurchase a portion of its existing convertible notes due 2026 in privately negotiated transactions, and the remainder of it for general corporate purposes.
Just recently, Marathon acquired 6,474 Bitcoin (BTC) for over $600 million. The move comes amid a broader trend of institutional adoption of Bitcoin, with an increasing number of public companies now holding BTC on their balance sheets.
Marathon Digital also shared its November 2024 Bitcoin Production Update. Notably, its Energized Hash Rate Increased 15% to 46.1 EH/s. Its total BTC HODL is currently 34,959 BTC valued at $3.3B. 12,965 BTC were acquired YTD at an average price of $77,692. It has achieved an YTD BTC Yield Per Share of 37.2%.
MicroStrategy, MARA, and Metaplanet are strategically expanding their Bitcoin (BTC) investments by offering convertible notes to institutional investors. The companies have already strengthened their Bitcoin holdings and reported strong yields, emphasizing their commitment to the digital asset. MARA’s latest purchase further solidifies its place in the growing number of companies betting on Bitcoin as a long-term asset.
