Just-In: Bitcoin Miner Core Scientific Postpones Bankruptcy Exit Hearing

In an unexpected turn of events, Core Scientific, a prominent Bitcoin mining company in North America, is putting a pause on its planned bankruptcy exit hearing. Notably, the postponement, now set for January 10, stems from strategic settlement negotiations with key stakeholders, aiming to secure unanimous support.

Meanwhile, this delay follows the company’s initial plan approval by three out of five pivotal groups, leaving lingering uncertainties within the unsecured creditors and B. Riley Financial camp.

Core Scientific’s Bankruptcy Exit Hearing Rescheduled

The leading Bitcoin mining firm, Core Scientific’s anticipated bankruptcy exit is encountering a delay, with the final hearing pushed from December 22 to January 10. Meanwhile, the twist in the plot comes as the company engages in “good faith” negotiations with B. Riley Financial and the creditor committee.

Notably, a recent joint notice reveals that an agreement in principle has been reached, setting the stage for a comprehensive global settlement. This development aims to garner support from all key stakeholder groups, necessitating an extension of the equity rights offering subscription deadline to December 28.

Meanwhile, this news comes amid a time when growing regulatory concerns in the crypto space have dampened the market sentiment.

What Lies Ahead?

The recent agreement in principle marks a significant milestone for Core Scientific. A joint notice, stemming from continued mediation efforts, indicates that the company, the creditor committee, and B. Riley have worked towards resolving disputes and achieving a global settlement of plan issues.

This breakthrough positions the crypto mining firm to move forward with the bankruptcy exit, backed by unanimous support. The subsequent rescheduling of the final hearing allows for the incorporation of updates reflective of the global settlement, ensuring a comprehensive review and endorsement by all parties involved.

For context, in October 2022, Core Scientific for the first time signaled financial distress, hinting at a potential cash shortage and the possibility of declaring bankruptcy. The decline in Bitcoin prices in 2022 and increased electricity costs have significantly impacted the company’s profitability, according to Core Scientific’s filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on October 27, 2022.
