美国比特币矿商 Marathon Digital Holdings, Inc. 宣布发行 7 亿美元的可转换优先票据。

Institutions that participate in the sale will be granted another option by the miner to purchase an additional $105 million of notes within 13 days, commencing on the date the notes are initially issued to investors. The two offerings will be issued pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.

参与销售的机构将获得矿商的另一种选择权，可以在票据最初向投资者发行之日起 13 天内购买额外的 1.05 亿美元票据。这两次发行将根据 1933 年《证券法》第 144A 条进行发行。

The notes will bear interest payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, according to the miner. The first interest periods will be paid on March 1, 2025, and the notes will mature on September 1, 2031, unless the company redeems, converts, or repurchases the notes. The final terms of the notes will be determined at a later date.

据该矿商称，这些票据将每半年支付一次利息，分别为每年的3月1日和9月1日。第一个利息期将于 2025 年 3 月 1 日支付，票据将于 2031 年 9 月 1 日到期，除非公司赎回、转换或回购票据。票据的最终条款将在稍后确定。

MARA stated that $200 million of the proceeds will be used to repurchase a portion of its outstanding 2026 convertible notes. The remaining amount will be directed towards increasing the company’s Bitcoin holdings through additional purchases, alongside other general needs. The notes’ due date and maturity are scheduled for 2030, after which they can be converted into cash or shares according to MARA’s preference.

MARA 表示，其中 2 亿美元的收益将用于回购部分已发行的 2026 年可转换票据。剩余金额将用于通过额外购买以及其他一般需求来增加公司的比特币持有量。该票据的到期日和期限预计为2030年，之后可以根据MARA的偏好将其转换为现金或股票。

MARA’s share price declined by 5% to $19.97 during pre-market trading following the announcement.

公告发布后，MARA 的股价在盘前交易中下跌 5%，至 19.97 美元。

MARA made a similar announcement in August 2024. MARA offered a private offering of $250 million of convertible senior notes and an additional $37.5 million of notes granted to the initial purchasers. The company announced that part of the proceeds will be used to purchase more Bitcoin and the rest for general corporate purposes, such as working capital and the strategic expansion of existing assets.

MARA 于 2024 年 8 月发布了类似的公告。MARA 公开发行了 2.5 亿美元的可转换优先票据，并向初始购买者额外发行了 3750 万美元的票据。该公司宣布，部分收益将用于购买更多比特币，其余收益用于一般公司用途，例如营运资金和现有资产的战略扩张。

According to data from Bitcoin Treasuries, Marathon Digital now has 27,562 bitcoins, valued at $2.49 billion. The company recently added 720 bitcoins to its balance sheet on October 31 and 642 bitcoins on October 2.

The miner’s offerings echo previous announcements by Metaplanet and Microstrategy.

The Tokyo-listed firm issued the ordinary bonds with a guarantee, totaling 1.75 billion yen ($11.3 million) for an annualized interest rate of 0.36%.

In a related development, Microstrategy, the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, disclosed that it had entered into a sales agreement with several parties, through which it had raised over $2 billion. The company also announced that it had purchased an additional 27,200 bitcoins for $2.03 billion.
