Marathon Digital has announced a $850 million convertible note offering with plans to use the proceeds to purchase additional Bitcoin.
Marathon Digital Strengthens Bitcoin Holdings by Increasing Debt Offering to $850 Million
This move solidifies the company’s position as the second-largest institutional Bitcoin holder with a total of 34,794 BTC currently worth around $3.3 billion.
The increased offering reflects strong investor demand and Marathon’s commitment to expanding its Bitcoin reserves. With this latest development, the company continues to be a major player in the growing trend of institutional Bitcoin accumulation.
Marathon’s significant Bitcoin holdings underscore the growing role of public companies in the cryptocurrency market. The company’s Bitcoin reserves are second only to MicroStrategy, which holds 158,000 BTC.
This latest move comes as Bitcoin is trading near all-time highs, trading around $95,000, fueled by growing institutional interest and positive regulatory developments, including the approval of multiple Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds.
Marathon’s decision to finance its Bitcoin purchases through a convertible bond offering highlights a trend among crypto-focused companies to leverage debt markets for growth.
Convertible bonds, which allow investors to convert debt into equity at a later date, provide a flexible financing mechanism for firms looking to tap into Bitcoin’s long-term potential.
