MARA Holdings Inc., a leading Bitcoin mining company, announced on December 2, 2024, plans to issue $700 million in convertible senior notes, aiming to secure more BTC.
Why Are Convertible Notes a Go-To Choice for Bitcoin Miners?
For mining companies, convertible notes are a fast and efficient way to secure funding. These debt instruments can either be converted into shares or traded freely, offering liquidity without the regulatory delays associated with traditional fundraising. They also preserve the issuer’s valuation, making them an appealing choice for capital expansion.
This wave of activity in the debt market could lend strength to Bitcoin’s long-term value, as growing institutional demand puts upward pressure on prices while emphasizing the asset’s scarcity.
