Celsius Creditors Recover $2.53 Billion in Cash and Crypto Distribution

Celsius has distributed more than $2.53b to about 251,000 creditors, the bankruptcy administrator said in a report on the disbursements.

This distribution accounts for about two-thirds of eligible creditors and roughly 93% in value, a Monday court filing showed. The administrator distributed the funds in crypto and cash, valued at Jan. 16 prices.

Additionally, around 121,000 eligible creditors, each holding an average claim near $1,500, have not yet successfully claimed their payouts. Among them, about 64,000 are owed less than $100 each. Another 41,000 are due amounts ranging between $100 and $1,000.

Further, about 12,000 creditors have yet to receive their share from the bankruptcy distribution. This delay is due to two primary factors. First, some claims are being held back. Additionally, others are missing essential information in their accounts, the administrator said.
