The deal was upsized from an initial target of $850 million, reflecting strong demand from institutional investors. MARA also granted initial purchasers a 13-day option to buy up to an additional $200 million in notes.
MARA received approximately $940 million in net proceeds after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions. Of that, the company used over $18 million to repurchase $19 million in 2026 convertible notes and allocated approximately $37 million toward capped call hedges to mitigate potential dilution.
The remaining proceeds are expected to support MARA’s core Bitcoin acquisition strategy, along with general corporate purposes. These may include working capital, strategic acquisitions, asset expansion, and repayment of other outstanding obligations, the company stated.
MARA currently holds approximately 50,000 Bitcoin, valued at around $6 billion based on current market prices. The anticipated purchase following the completion of its note offering is set to reinforce its position as the second-largest corporate Bitcoin holder.
