Celsius said Ionic Digital will “continue to deliver recoveries to creditors,” and its stock is “expected to be publicly traded once the requisite approvals are received.”
Around 98% of Celsius creditors agreed to the bankruptcy exit plan, which comes over 18 months after it paused withdrawals in June 2022 and filed for bankruptcy a month later.
Celsius stated that it augmented the cryptocurrency available for distribution to creditors by approximately $250 million by “converting altcoins to BTC or ETH and through previous settlements.”
According to a court filing, Celsius disclosed its intention to cease operations and shut down its mobile and web applications by February 28th. Creditor distributions will be facilitated through PayPal, Venmo, and Coinbase, a method that some creditors have shared on X alongside a claims form.
