MARA Holdings has announced plans to raise $700 million through a private offering of convertible senior notes set to mature in 2030.
The offering, available only to qualified institutional buyers, includes an option for investors to purchase an additional $105 million. Proceeds from the sale will support a range of initiatives, including Bitcoin accumulation, corporate expansion, strategic acquisitions, and addressing existing debt obligations.
The Bitcoin mining company aims to allocate up to $200 million from the raised funds to repurchase some of its outstanding 2026 convertible notes, while the remainder will be directed toward growing its Bitcoin reserves and financing operational goals. This move reflects the growing trend of mining firms leveraging strategic financial maneuvers to optimize profitability in anticipation of Bitcoin’s price milestones, such as the long-discussed $100K target.
Interestingly, this development follows a provocative suggestion from prominent Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff, who sarcastically proposed selling Social Security’s $2.7 trillion in U.S. Treasuries to buy Bitcoin as a potential solution to its funding challenges. Schiff’s remarks underscore the ongoing debate around Bitcoin’s role in traditional financial systems.
MARA’s convertible notes will allow holders to exchange them for cash or stock at the company’s discretion, with interest payable semi-annually. Full terms of the offering are still under negotiation. As Bitcoin mining grows increasingly lucrative, MARA’s bold strategy highlights its confidence in the cryptocurrency’s future and its commitment to scaling operations.
