- MARA Holdings has pledged 18,750 BTC (valued at $1.2 billion) to secure $600 million in new financing from Coinbase Credit and Two Prime Lending.
- The funds will be used for energy acquisitions, Bitcoin mining, AI, and high-performance computing infrastructure, including the acquisition of Long Ridge Energy & Power.
- This Bitcoin-backed financing introduces significant downside risk, as a sharp decline in Bitcoin's price could trigger margin calls and lead to the liquidation of the pledged BTC by lenders.
