<p>The company has the option to borrow either $30 million in cash at a 14.5% interest rate or 500 Bitcoin at a 9.5% interest rate from Galaxy Digital. This financing arrangement is rare in bankruptcy cases and underscores the challenges faced by crypto <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/blockstream-aims-for-bitcoin-profit-with-mining-rig-investment-ahead-of-2024-halving/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">mining companies</a>, which are often at the mercy of volatile Bitcoin prices. Rhodium’s financial troubles were exacerbated by a dispute with its landlord and power supplier, Whinstone US, now owned by competitor Riot Platforms. The case serves as a cautionary tale for the Bitcoin mining industry, which continues to face significant operational and financial risks.</p>
