MARA Holdings Sells $1.1 Billion in Bitcoin to Repurchase Debt

MARA Holdings (MARA) has sold 15,133 bitcoin for approximately $1.1 billion to repurchase $1.0 billion of its convertible senior notes. The move strengthens the company’s balance sheet and reduces the risk of future shareholder dilution.

Convertible Note Buyback

The company repurchased $367.5 million of 2030 notes for $322.9 million and $633.4 million of 2031 notes for $589.9 million, capturing roughly $88 million in value through discounted purchases. The transactions reduce MARA’s outstanding convertible debt by about 30%, lowering total notes from $3.3 billion to $2.3 billion.

Strategic Capital Allocation

CEO Fred Thiel described the sale as a strategic step to enhance liquidity and support growth initiatives in AI and energy infrastructure. MARA now holds 38,689 bitcoin following the sale, and shares rose 10% in premarket trading.

The transaction is expected to materially improve MARA’s capital structure while providing resources for long-term expansion and reducing shareholder dilution risks.
