On January 05, 2023, Celsius Network posted on X that it is planning to unstake its existing Ethereum holdings to process asset distribution to its creditors.

Celsius Network is a cryptocurrency lending company that declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July 2022.
Celsius Network has filed for bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. This is the same court that heard the Three Arrows Capital’s bankruptcy.
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, commonly known as Reorganisation Bankruptcy, follows the same procedure. It is a complex yet successful operation. This bankruptcy procedure allows the firm to continue operations while undergoing financial reorganization.&nbsp;
After declaring bankruptcy, Celsius Network announced a $1.2 Billion debt, while a study on Celsius Network alleges that the actual debt is over $2.85 Billion. The substantial gap between the initial sum and the amount indicated during the bankruptcy petition implies that the company misled the authorities.
According to Celsius Network’s bankruptcy papers, they had total liabilities of $5.5 Billion and assets of $4.3 Billion. This demonstrates a difference of $1.2 Billion, the corporation’s declared deficit.
Celsius Network has gained clearance from a U.S. bankruptcy court for a reorganization plan that would restore Bitcoin to users and establish a new firm controlled by Celsius creditors. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn in Manhattan approved the reorganization orders.&nbsp;
According to court documents filed in the early hours of May 25, the Fahrenheit consortium, which includes blockchain venture capital company Arrington Capital, had acquired Celsius Network’s institutional loan portfolio, staked cryptocurrency, mining unit, and other alternative assets.
Reuters stated on May 25, 2023, that all Celsius account holders will possess 100% of NewCo’s new stock. It is also noted that the firm would be managed by a newly formed board of directors nominated by the creditors.
