You Can Now Buy Stock In The Atlanta Braves

When you watch the Atlanta Braves game, these days, you’re watching a team that owns itself, so to speak. The winning Major League Baseball franchise has split off from Liberty Media, its owners for the past several years.

The team is now officially owned by Atlanta Braves Holdings, which will also own the ballclub’s associated real estate development project. The sale was completed on July 18, 2023.

You can also now buy stock in the Braves. The company’s stock began trading on Wednesday, July 19, 2023 on the Nasdaq Stock Market, under the symbols “BATRA” and “BATRK”, respectively. Atlanta Braves Holdings Series B common stock will be quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbol “BATRB.

Introducing Atlanta Braves Holdings Inc.

Both parties call the deal The Split-Off and it will allow Liberty Media to refocus its energies on live exhibitions that go well beyond sports. Meanwhile, the Braves will simply have the winningest team in baseball.

Both the Split-Off and Reclassification are subject to, among other things, the approval of Liberty Media’s stockholders at a meeting on on July 17, 2023 and the receipt of certain other approvals and tax opinions.

When Did Liberty Media Buy The Braves?

Liberty Media bought the Braves in 2007 for $1.5 billion. At that time, Time Warner owned the MLB franchise but sought to divest of sports properties. Since that purchase, the value of the Braves has nearly doubled and they are now one of the most pricey franchises in Major League Baseball.
