Marathon Digital Holdings, publicly traded under the ticker MARA, has successfully raised $1 billion through a convertible note offering with a 0% interest rate, aimed at acquiring additional Bitcoin. The offering, which was initially set at $750 million but was oversubscribed, reflects a strong market appetite for Bitcoin-backed financial instruments. The convertible notes are due in 2030 and will provide Marathon with approximately $980 million in net proceeds after repaying existing debt. This strategic move comes as the cryptocurrency market experiences a resurgence, positioning Marathon to enhance its Bitcoin holdings significantly.
