MARA, a prominent mining company, has successfully obtained two loans totaling $600 million, leveraging 18,750 BTC as collateral. The financing includes $450 million from Coinbase Credit and $300 million from Two Prime Lending. According to their quarterly report, $150 million of the first loan will be used to refinance an existing credit line. At the time of the agreements, the pledged bitcoins were valued at around $1.2 billion, constituting nearly 53% of the company’s total holdings of 35,577 BTC as of June 30. In the event of a decline in bitcoin prices, MARA may need to provide additional collateral, or lenders could liquidate the collateral. The loans carry interest rates of 7.5% and 7.65% annually, with funds allocated for various initiatives, including the purchase of the Long Ridge gas power plant in Ohio, which has a capacity of 505 MW.
