Our Restructuring Lessors

What did Bitcoin Depot announce?

Bitcoin Depot announced it has initiated a voluntary Chapter 11 process in the Court for the Southern District of Texas to facilitate an orderly wind-down of the Company’s operations and sale of its assets.

 

Effective immediately, the Company’s network of BTMs has been taken offline.

When will BTMs cease operating?

The Company’s network of BTMs has been taken offline.

Why is this happening so suddenly?

The regulatory environment for BTM operators has shifted significantly: states have imposed increasingly stringent compliance obligations, including new transaction limits, and in some jurisdictions, outright restrictions or bans on BTM operations; and operators have faced increasing litigation and regulatory enforcement. 

These developments have materially affected Bitcoin Depot’s business and financial position. 

Under these circumstances, our current business model is unsustainable. 

After evaluating all options, we determined to initiate this court-supervised process to facilitate an orderly wind-down of the Company’s operations and sale of its assets. 

Did Bitcoin Depot consider other alternatives?

Yes. After evaluating all options, we determined to initiate this court-supervised process to facilitate an orderly wind-down of the Company’s operations and sale of its assets.

What does this mean for the Company’s international operations?

The Company’s network of BTMs, including those in international jurisdictions, has been taken offline.

The Company’s Canadian entities are included in the U.S. Court-supervised process and it expects to commence restructuring proceedings in Canada in due course. 

The Company’s other non-U.S. entities will be winding down under applicable foreign law.

What does this announcement mean for lessors?

Will lessors receive lease payments owed on or after the filing date?

U.S. bankruptcy law mandates that unpaid debts for goods received and services rendered prior to the filing date cannot be paid without court approval.

If you believe you are owed for an outstanding lease payment from before the filing date, you can file a proof of claim with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. We will provide notice to vendors of any deadline and requirements for filing a claim.
