DCG Pays Off Short-Term Loans, Repays Over $1 Billion in Debt
Digital Currency Group (DCG) has successfully paid off its short-term loans from Genesis, its bankrupt subsidiary, marking a significant step forward for the firm. The total debt repayment to creditors now exceeds $1 billion.
Genesis Lawsuit and Total Debt
Genesis filed a lawsuit against DCG in September to recover an outstanding loan balance of over $610 million. Court documents revealed DCG’s total debt to Genesis and other creditors amounted to over $1.7 billion. Genesis also pursued separate legal action to reclaim around 4,550 BTC worth approximately $199 million.
DCG’s Agreement and Future Payments
In November, DCG reached a strategic agreement with Genesis, committing to a $200 million payment over the subsequent weeks. The remaining loan balance is scheduled for repayment by April 1 as per the plan approved in federal bankruptcy court.
Maintaining Stake and Tax Benefits
DCG has agreed not to alter its ownership structure until Genesis’ bankruptcy proceedings conclude, ensuring DCG’s stake in Genesis remains above 80%. This arrangement is crucial for preserving tax benefits, including federal net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) amounting to $700 million.
Optimism for the Future
“With this milestone behind us, we’re looking forward to the next chapter of DCG and the future growth of our industry.”
DCG expressed optimism about the future and reaffirmed its commitment to honoring financial obligations and responsible fiscal management.
