Celsius financial position

According to the document filed by Celsius, the proceeds of this sale will be intended for “general and business expenses”. An explanation with rather vague contours, which also earned legal opposition from Víctor Ubierna de las Heras, a creditor of Celsius, who appealed to the relevant bankruptcy court :

“They say the intended use of proceeds from the sale is for ‘general and business expenses.’ It’s like saying nothing.Overhead and business expenses can mean everything and nothing at the same time. […] Will Celsius use the proceeds from the sale to repay its creditors? Will Celsius pay his rent with this amount? You can’t tell by reading the contents of the document. »

It’s a double punishment for Celsius, which was recently forced to shut down 37,000 of its mining machines leased from Core Scientific, the company is no longer able to meet its operating costs.
