As part of the reorganization plan, a portion of the $3 billion will be used to establish the new Bitcoin mining company, Ionic Digital, owned by creditors, according to the statement issued by the company.
Celsius' creditors will own the mining company through common stock, which is expected to be publicly traded in the near future. With this, the mining company Hut 8 will take over oversight of Ionic's mining operations for a period of four years.
