According to Coindesk, at the bankruptcy hearing held by the U.S. court yesterday (16), it has announced its decision to approve its sale of mining bitcoins because the company has already secured part of the financing commitments.

According to Celsius’ financial report submitted to the court on the 15th Beijing time, if Celsius does not take any action, it will generate a negative cash flow of 137.2 million in October, which will eventually become a net liability.

The financial report provided by Celsius recently said that in July, nearly $8.7 million of bitcoin was mined in the mining operation. The company’s cost still far exceeds this figure but selling bitcoin may alleviate the urgent need.

Celsius plummeted after hearing the news

Interestingly, before the financial report submitted to the court on the 15th was exposed, the token Celsius suddenly experienced a surge, from $1.7943 on August 10th to $4.4602 on August 15th, an increase of 148.57%. But as the court’s financial report came to light, it plummeted, and the price was quoted at $2.6633 at the time of writing, a drop of as much as 40% from the highest point.
