Patrick Nash mentioned that recovery plans do not include undergoing total liquidation. According to him, the lender does not intend to force their customers to take their recovery in fiat currency.
As the crypto market downturn continues, Nash is of the opinion that users would choose to go long in this crypto winter. Users shall also have the “opportunity to realise their recovery” once the broader macroeconomic conditions start to look up.
Patrick Nash added,
In a world where the crypto market rebounds, the mining business has the potential to be quite valuable.
The crypto lender had filed for Chapter 11 and listed a $1.19 billion deficit on its balance sheet. The business model which Celsius operated was severely inspected after a sell-off that occurred owing to downfall of important tokens such as terraUSD and Luna two months ago.
Although a lot of priority has been given to Bitcoin mining, a group of equity investors have expressed concerns over a problem which could arise in order to control the Bitcoin mining operations.
Investor’s layer, Dennis Dune spoke of how the recently mined coins should be accounted as property of the UK subsidiary which is responsible in raising funds for the operations and not being distributed for the advantage of the company’s creditors.
Additionally customers could also create objection on Bitcoin mining vendors during a time when the platform is struggling to recover as mentioned by the U.S. Department of Justice’s bankruptcy watchdog.
