In its <a href="https://ir.mara.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/1380/mara-holdings-inc-announces-proposed-private-offering-of-700-million-of-zero-coupon-convertible-senior-notes" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">official announcement</a>, MARA Holdings, a global leader in leveraging digital asset compute to support energy transformation, announced that it intends to offer $700 million aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible notes due 2031. 
The offering will reportedly be made to people reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers. MARA also wrote that it expects to grant the initial purchases of the notes an option to purchase up to an additional $105 million aggregate principal amount of the notes. 
Official reports reveal that the notes will be unsecured, senior obligations of MARA. These are not expected to bear interest, apart from the special interest in limited circumstances, and the principal amount of the notes is not expected to accrete. 
Special interest will be payable semi-annually on June 1, 2031, and December 1 of each year, beginning June 1, 2025. 
Also, the notes will mature on June 1, 2031, unless they are earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted according to the company’s terms. 
MARA’s announcement comes after the company recently <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/news/mara-holdings-bought-over-617m-in-bitcoin-this-month/">revealed</a> buying over $617 million in Bitcoin in November. Now, MARA holds 34,794 BTC valued at over $3.3 billion, based on a spot BTC price of $95,000. 
At the moment of writing this article, BTC is trading above $95,000, down by 2% today, seeing a drop in price from over $98,000 earlier today.
