Genesis and its parent company, Digital Currency Group (DCG), have preliminarily agreed on a Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan aimed at alleviating financial pressures for both entities.
According to a recent court filing, this plan could potentially offer unsecured creditors the opportunity to recover anywhere between 70% to 90% in USD and 65% to 90% in terms of digital assets, contingent upon market fluctuations.
Upon receiving court authorization, DCG is anticipated to inject over a billion dollars in new debt facilities into the struggling cryptocurrency lender, thus aiding its financial situation. In return, DCG would obtain specific financial concessions by Genesis and its creditors.
Within this arrangement, DCG hopes to settle its current debts, which encompass roughly $630 million in unsecured loans set to mature by May 2023 and a $1.1 billion promissory note expiring in 2032.
For the venture capital firm, this agreement offers a vital relief, given its struggles with liquidity problems that compelled it to sell assets at considerably reduced prices. Last year, its investment division, Grayscale, temporarily halted redemptions for its primary Bitcoin Trust, resulting in a noticeable decline in share value.
Genesis encountered bankruptcy filing in January after halting customer withdrawals in November, attributing the decision to the collapse of the FTX exchange and unfavorable market conditions.
While the agreement still confronts obstacles such as approval by the bankruptcy court and the backing of various creditors, if sanctioned, it represents a significant advancement in the overall restructuring process for the company.
