Debt restructuring agreement between bitcoin miner Greenidge and NYDIG

Debt restructuring agreement between bitcoin miner Greenidge and NYDIG WikiBit 2022-12-21 18:39

Troubled U.S.-based Bitcoin mining firm Greenidge Generation Holdings Inc. has entered a debt restructuring agreement with NYDIG, a cryptocurrency service provider to which Greenidge owes US$74 million.

As part of the arrangement signed on Tuesday, NYDIG would buy mining equipment from Greenidge with a processing capability of roughly 2.8 ex hashes per second (EH/s). The devices will stay hosted at Greenidge.

The Nasdaq-listed miner intends to keep control of mining equipment with a 1.2 EH/s capacity, but under the terms of the deal, it may pass its credit, coupons, and other property to NYDIG.

In return, NYDIG agreed to lower the indebtedness to $57 million to $68 million.

According to the firm's statement on Tuesday, Greenidge stands to lose the ability to sustain its daily operations in the coming two months with no further cash.

The board of Greenidge has reportedly “engaged in active conversations about the possibility and timing of a voluntary bankruptcy file,” according to Greenidge.

Even with the NYDIG purchase, based on the firm, Greenidge still requires at least $20 million in extra liquidity to cover its funding requirements.

On Tuesday, Greenidge's Nasdaq shares closed down 17.97% at US$0.3012 compared to US$17.46 a year earlier.

Core Scientific and Compute North are two American mining companies that are struggling with liquidity issues. Foundry Digital LLC, a different miner, announced last month that it intends to purchase two turnkey mining operations from Compute North.
