Cryptocurrency miner Core Scientific has experienced a surge in liquidity following its Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing and is now dedicated to revitalizing its business strategy for a triumphant comeback.
The company attributes its improved financial performance to the upswing in bitcoin prices, an augmented network hash rate, and reduced energy expenditures.
Initially projected to conclude within six months, Core Scientific’s bankruptcy process, which began in December, now aims to emerge from Chapter 11 on September 25.
Encouragingly, the company foresees a $46 million liquidity increase compared to the initial budget outlined during the filing.
In a significant milestone, Core Scientific recently managed to pay off $6 million in debt, as confirmed by attorneys representing the company in a court filing released on Monday.
Core Scientific intends to engage in negotiations with key stakeholders, including the creditors’ committee, to establish common ground for a reorganization plan. The aim is to file the business plan by June 15, with a confirmation hearing scheduled for September 11.
The process is overseen by a special committee consisting of independent directors, ensuring transparency and fairness throughout the proceedings.
