Mara Holdings Inc.計劃提供多達20億美元的股票以資助比特幣購買

瑪拉控股公司（Mara Holdings Inc.）是世界上最大的比特幣礦業公司之一，已宣布計劃提供多達20億美元的股票，以資助額外的比特幣購買。

MARA is offering up to $2 billion of its stock to fund additional Bitcoin purchases, the company announced in a Form 8-K and prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday.

該公司在周一向美國證券和交易委員會提交的8-K和招股說明書宣布，Mara將提供多達20億美元的股票資金購買額外的比特幣購買。

The Florida-based firm, formerly known as Marathon Digital, has entered into an at-the-market agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald, Barclays, and Guggenheim Securities.

這家總部位於佛羅里達州的公司，以前稱為馬拉松數字，已與坎托·菲茨杰拉德（Cantor Fitzgerald），巴克萊（Barclays）和古根海姆（Guggenheim Securities）簽訂了在市場上達成協議。

These firms will sell MARA shares “from time to time” directly on Nasdaq or via negotiated transactions, according to the filing. The flexible approach gives MARA the ability to tap into the market as needed.

根據文件，這些公司將直接在納斯達克或通過談判的交易中“不時”出售Mara股票。靈活的方法使Mara能夠根據需要利用市場。

“We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of bitcoin and for working capital,” MARA said. The company did not specify a timeline or volume commitment for the stock sales.

瑪拉說：“我們目前打算將此產品的淨收益用於一般公司目的，包括收購比特幣和營運資金。”該公司未針對股票銷售指定時間表或數量承諾。

This move closely follows the strategy used by Michael Saylor’s Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), the largest corporate Bitcoin holder. Strategy has used various market offerings, including stock sales, to amass 506,137 BTC valued at approximately $42.4 billion.

這一舉動緊密遵循了邁克爾·塞勒（Michael Saylor）的策略（以前是Microstrategy），是最大的企業比特幣持有人。策略已使用包括股票銷售在內的各種市場產品，積累了506,137 BTC，價值約424億美元。

MARA Holdings currently holds the second-largest Bitcoin reserves among public companies, with 46,374 BTC in its coffers, valued at around $3.9 billion according to Bitbo data.

Mara Holdings目前在上市公司中擁有第二大比特幣儲量，其金庫中有46,374 BTC，根據Bitbo數據的價值約為39億美元。

The latest offering follows previous financial maneuvers by MARA to increase its Bitcoin holdings. Last year, the company launched a similar offering of up to $1.5 billion of its shares.

Mara先前的金融動作以增加其比特幣持有量之後，最新的發行量。去年，該公司發行了類似的股份，其股票最高可達15億美元。

In November, MARA also issued $1 billion of zero-coupon convertible senior notes, planning to use most of those proceeds for more Bitcoin purchases.

11月，Mara還發布了10億美元的零股票可轉換高級票據，計劃將大多數收益用於更多比特幣購買。

MARA CEO Fred Thiel announced in July that the company was going “full HODL,” a strategy that diverges from typical crypto mining practices.

馬拉（Mara）首席執行官弗雷德·泰爾（Fred Thiel）在7月宣布，該公司將“ Full Hodl”（Full Hodl）進行，這一戰略與典型的加密礦業實踐不同。

Usually, miners sell a portion of the Bitcoin they mine to fund operating expenses. However, MARA plans to keep all mined Bitcoin and purchase more of the cryptocurrency to maintain in reserve. This approach represents a long-term bet on Bitcoin’s value appreciation.

通常，礦工出售他們挖掘的一部分比特幣以資助運營費用。但是，Mara計劃保留所有開采的比特幣，併購買更多的加密貨幣以維持儲備金。這種方法代表了對比特幣價值升值的長期押注。

The stock offering announcement comes amid a downturn for MARA’s shares. The company’s stock closed down 8.58% at $12.47 on Monday, according to Google Finance.

股票公告在Mara的股票下滑中出現。根據Google Finance的數據，該公司的股票週一下跌8.58％，至12.47美元。

MARA shares fell another 4.6% to $11.89 in overnight trading on Thursday after reports that Microsoft abandoned plans to build new data centers in the US and Europe rattled crypto mining stocks a day earlier. Meanwhile, Bitcoin was trading just above $82,000, down 1.2% over 24 hours after falling from a local high of around $83,500.

Mara股票在周四的隔夜交易中又下跌了4.6％，至11.89美元，此前有報導稱Microsoft放棄了一天前在美國和歐洲建立新數據中心的計劃。同時，比特幣的交易剛好超過82,000美元，在當地高點約83,500美元左右下降後24小時下降了1.2％。

Despite the recent stock price decline, MARA reported strong financial results for Q4 2024, generating $214.4 million in revenue, a 37% increase from the previous quarter.

儘管最近的股價下跌，但Mara報告了2024年第四季度的財務業績強勁，收入為2.144億美元，比上一季度增長了37％。

The company also reported a net income of $528.3 million, showcasing a 248% year-over-year jump. Moreover, MARA’s adjusted EBITDA surged 207% to $794.4 million, setting a new benchmark in the mining sector.

該公司還報告說，淨收入為5.283億美元，同比增長248％。此外，Mara的調整後的EBITDA飆升了207％，至7.944億美元，在採礦領域樹立了新的基準。

In February, MARA completed the acquisition of a wind farm in Hansford County, Texas, which offers 114 megawatts of wind power and 240 MW of interconnection capacity.

2月，瑪拉（Mara）完成了德克薩斯州漢斯福德縣（Hansford County）的一家風電場的收購，該機場提供了114兆瓦的風力發電和240兆瓦的互連能力。

The wind farm will be used to power older mining rigs that would otherwise have been retired, aligning with growing industry concerns about the energy consumption of Bitcoin mining operations.

風電場將用於為舊的採礦鑽機提供動力，否則將退休，這與行業對比特幣採礦業務的能源消耗的關注不斷增長。
