It also successfully sold 15,133 Bitcoins on March 4 and 5, raising as much as $1.1 billion in fresh funds.

“Our decision to sell a portion of our bitcoin holdings reflects a strategic capital allocation move designed to strengthen our balance sheet and position the company for long-term growth. By retiring over $1 billion of face value debt at a discount, we captured approximately $88 million in value that would otherwise have been lost, reduced potential shareholder dilution, and leveraged our bitcoin holdings to meaningfully de-lever the balance sheet on our terms,” said MARA Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:MARA) Chairman and CEO Fred Thiel.

“This transaction enhances financial flexibility and increases strategic optionality as we expand beyond pure-play bitcoin mining into digital energy and AI/HPC infrastructure,” he noted.
