MARA Initiates Layoffs Following Bitcoin Sale and Debt Repurchase

MARA has commenced company-wide layoffs after selling 15,133 Bitcoin for approximately $1.1 billion. According to NS3.AI, the proceeds from the sale were used to repurchase convertible debt, which is anticipated to save around $88.1 million in cash. This move will reduce the company's total convertible debt by about 30%, decreasing it from roughly $3.3 billion to $2.3 billion. Additionally, MARA is expanding its operations into AI and high-performance computing. The company has announced plans to sell Bitcoin "from time to time" through 2026.
