Celsius distributes $2B of crypto to 172K creditors

According to the court filing, around 20,500 Bitcoin and 301,000 Ether tokens have been distributed among eligible creditors without any security or operational issues.

Bankrupt cryptocurrency lender Celsius has announced that most eligible creditors have now collected their liquid crypto distributions from its two distribution agents: payments giant PayPal and crypto exchange Coinbase.

In a recent court filing, Kirkland & Ellis — the legal team representing Celsius — provided an update on the creditor distributions outlined in the restructuring plan. This follows Celsius’ recent announcement that it exited bankruptcy, which it initially filed for in July 2022.

According to Kirkland & Ellis, crypto distributions to holders in the United States are facilitated through PayPal, while overseas holders are managed by Coinbase as the distribution agent.
