NASDAQ-listed Bitcoin mining company MARA Holdings has initiated a consent solicitation process for holders of its $600 million senior secured notes to amend certain covenant terms.MARA had previously signed an agreement on April 29 to acquire 100% of the parent company of Long Ridge. Since this transaction would trigger the "change of control" clause in the notes, it theoretically requires a cash buyback of all outstanding notes at 101% of the price. MARA is seeking the consent of noteholders to exclude this transaction from the definition of "change of control" and to designate MARA and its affiliates as "permitted holders."

According to BBX data, this week the outflow channels of cryptocurrency infrastructure and the forward-looking financial reports of mining companies are advancing on two fronts, with the core dynamics as follows:Kraken (parent company Payward, Inc.) and the global payment network MoneyGram announced the establishment of a global strategic partnership through PR Newswire on May 5. Kraken users can withdraw cash exchanged for cryptocurrency in hundreds of fiat currencies at nearly 500,000 MoneyGram physical locations covering over 100 countries; initially focusing on cryptocurrency outflows, with plans to expand to local bank deposits and cross-border remittance flows; Kraken is responsible for customer identity verification, while MoneyGram provides licensed remittance services and compliance frameworks. Kraken co-CEO Arjun Sethi confirmed in an interview with Fortune that the company's IPO progress is "close to 80%," having previously submitted its confidential S-1 filing to the SEC. Bloomberg estimates the current valuation at approximately $13.3 billion based on a $200 million equity investment from Deutsche Börse.MARA Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: $MARA) officially announced on ir.mara.com on May 4 that its Q1 2026 financial report will be released after the market closes on May 11, with a conference call scheduled for 5:00 PM (ET); analyst consensus expects an EPS of approximately -$2.34 and revenue of about $184.2 million. As of the end of 2025, the company holds 53,822 BTC, with full-year revenue for 2025 at $907 million (up 38% year-on-year) and a hash rate of 66.4 EH/s; during Q1 2026, the price of BTC fell from about $87,000 to around $68,000, putting pressure on the mining company's total costs. The market will focus on the progress of its AI/HPC data center transformation and the rollout pace of the Starwood JV, which exceeds 1 gigawatt capacity.The U.S. Department of Labor released the April non-farm employment data on May 8, showing an increase of 115,000 jobs, nearly double the market expectation; Bitcoin maintained a range of $79,000---$80,000 after the data was released, with the market interpreting this "soft landing" signal as favorable for risk assets—an unheated job market means an increased probability of the Federal Reserve maintaining current interest rates, keeping the mid-term liquidity environment for cryptocurrency stable. The monthly net inflow for Bitcoin spot ETFs in April was approximately $2.44 billion, the strongest single month data of the year; April's monthly close rose by 16%, and if May's closing price remains above $76,000, it will confirm three consecutive months of positive monthly closes for Bitcoin, which Fundstrat founder Tom Lee defines as a "bear market ending signal."

Bitcoin mining company MARA Holdings will acquire natural gas plant operator Long Ridge Energy & Power from FTAI Infrastructure for $1.5 billion, marking an important step for the bitcoin miner in its efforts to transform into a digital infrastructure and energy company.The acquisition is expected to be completed later in 2026, pending approval from regulators including the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The company stated that the $1.5 billion deal includes assuming approximately $785 million in existing debt, while Long Ridge's power assets can generate approximately $144 million in adjusted earnings annually.

MARA has launched the MARA Foundation to enhance Bitcoin's defense capabilities against security threats, covering risks such as quantum computing, while expanding the accessibility of self-custody and providing educational resources.

According to The Block, cryptocurrency mining company MARA's CEO Peter Thiel announced the establishment of a nonprofit organization, the MARA Foundation, dedicated to the long-term health, resilience, and adoption of the Bitcoin protocol. The foundation will support the development of anti-quantum tools (such as PQ wallets and the BIP 360 proposal), believing that while quantum computing is not an immediate threat to Bitcoin, network upgrades take time, and early preparation is crucial.The foundation will also allocate resources to ensure Bitcoin's security budget, support the development of a robust and healthy Bitcoin transaction fee market, and launch a global multilingual education program, expand access to self-custody tools, and engage in advocacy work aimed at policymakers and activists.

According to monitoring by Lookonchain, the crypto mining company MARA transferred 250 BTC (worth approximately 17.37 million USD) again 3 hours ago.Previously, MARA sold 15,133 BTC (1.1 billion USD) between March 4 and March 25.

According to Blockspace, one of the largest Bitcoin mining companies in the world, MARA (NASDAQ: MARA), has laid off about 15% of its staff, affecting full-time employees in multiple departments as well as some contractors. CEO Fred Thiel stated in an internal memo that this layoff is not purely a financial decision, but part of the company's strategic transformation from a pure Bitcoin mining company to an energy and digital infrastructure company.Previously, MARA completed the acquisition of a majority stake in Exaion, a subsidiary of the French national energy company EDF, in February this year, officially entering the AI and high-performance computing (HPC) fields, and reached an agreement with data center developer Starwood to repurpose about 1 GW of mining infrastructure for AI workloads.In addition, MARA recently sold over 15,133 BTC (approximately $1.1 billion) to repay $1 billion in convertible bonds, with a net loss of $1.3 billion for the full year of 2025 and an adjusted EBITDA of -$330.8 million. Affected employees will receive one month of paid leave, 13 weeks of severance pay, and full compensation for unused vacation.

According to Cointelegraph, Twenty One Capital, founded by Jack Mallers, currently holds 43,514 bitcoins, making it the second largest publicly traded bitcoin treasury company, second only to Strategy's 762,099 bitcoins.The previously second-ranked mining company MARA has fallen to third place after selling 15,133 bitcoins (approximately $1 billion). Analysts point out that MARA increased its bitcoin holdings through debt during the bull market and is now forced to sell bitcoins at a loss to repay debts, which is exactly the scenario that critics of debt-driven treasury strategies warned about.This model sharply contrasts with Strategy's approach of viewing bitcoin as "perpetual digital credit" and continuously using bitcoin as collateral to finance acquisitions. Analysts believe this reflects the survival pressure faced by crypto treasuries and mining companies in a bear market environment.

Bitcoin mining company MARA announced on platform X that it will repurchase $1 billion of convertible senior notes, with the repurchase of the 2030 notes and 2031 notes expected to be completed on March 30, 2026, and March 31, 2026, respectively, depending on the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The note repurchase transaction is expected to bring approximately $88.1 million in value to the company through cash savings.MARA also announced that the company sold 15,133 bitcoins between March 4, 2026, and March 25, 2026, for a total transaction price of approximately $1.1 billion, and it is expected that the proceeds from the bitcoin sales will be used for the note repurchase transaction, with the remaining funds used for general corporate purposes.
