Crypto lender Celsius defends bitcoin mining plans as bankruptcy kicks off

Bitcoin mining is essential to the company's reorganization efforts, according to cryptocurrency lender Celsius Network, who made the statement during a Manhattan bankruptcy court hearing on Monday.


headquartered in New Jersey U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn gave Celsius permission to spend $3.7 million on building a new bitcoin mining facility and $1.5 million on customs and fees on incoming bitcoin mining equipment.


The firm, which stopped other commercial activities including its cryptocurrency loans, might find a method to pay back consumers whose funds it had frozen in the weeks before to declaring bankruptcy, according to Patrick Nash, a lawyer representing Celsius.


The mining industry "has the potential to be pretty profitable in a scenario where the crypto market recovers," Nash said.


On July 13, Celsius declared bankruptcy, citing a $1.19 billion balance sheet shortfall. Following a significant cryptocurrency market sell-off caused by the May collapse of prominent coins terraUSD and luna, the business model of crypto lenders came under criticism.


Due to the significant volatility, Celsius' assets decreased, and its decision to freeze client accounts was an effort to reduce losses and stabilize its operations, according to Nash.


In the weeks leading up to the Chapter 11 filing, some customers threatened and sent hate mail to a few firm workers. Celsius is hoping that the mining endeavor will help it mend those relationships.


However, a group of equity investors hinted to a potential conflict over ownership of the bitcoin mining businesses. According to Dennis Dunne, the investors' attorney, they can argue that the freshly created currencies need to be given to all Celsius creditors rather than deemed the property of the UK company that acquired the money for the mining activity.


Customers could complain to Celsius' expenditure on bitcoin mining companies at a time when their own financial recovery is in question, according to the bankruptcy monitor of the U.S. Department of Justice.
