Genesis 透過購買 21 億美元比特幣來支持還款計劃，並出售 GBTC 股票

據報道，陷入困境的加密貨幣貸款公司 Genesis 在出售 3,600 萬股灰階比特幣信託 (GBTC) 股票後購買了價值 21 億美元的比特幣 (BTC)。破產法院已於 2 月 14 日批准出售，目的是用所得款項償還債權人。由於近期比特幣價格飆升，所購買的 BTC 價值大幅上漲，Genesis 計劃將這些比特幣分發給 Gemini Earn 債權人，作為其還款策略的一部分。

Genesis Infuses $2.1 Billion of Bitcoin into Repayment Plan Amidst GBTC Sell-Off

Genesis 在 GBTC 拋售中向還款計劃注入 21 億美元比特幣

New York, NY - April 6, 2024 In a strategic move to bolster its repayment efforts, bankrupt crypto lending firm Genesis has reportedly purchased $2.1 billion worth of Bitcoin (BTC) after offloading approximately 36 million shares of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC).

紐約州紐約- 2024 年4 月6 日據報道，為了加強還款工作，破產的加密貨幣借貸公司Genesis 在出售大約3600 萬股灰度比特幣信託(GBTC) 股票後購買了價值21 億美元的比特幣(BTC)。

According to court documents filed on April 5 and cited by Bloomberg Law, Genesis liquidated 36 million GBTC shares, using the proceeds to acquire 32,041 Bitcoins. This move is part of the firm's plan to repay creditors who have been affected by its financial struggles.

根據 Bloomberg Law 引用的 4 月 5 日提交的法庭文件，Genesis 清算了 3,600 萬股 GBTC 股票，用所得收益購買了 32,041 枚比特幣。此舉是該公司償還受財務困境影響的債權人計畫的一部分。

The decision to sell GBTC shares was authorized by the New York bankruptcy court on February 14, alongside the sale of shares from Grayscale Ethereum (ETH) trusts. Genesis initially sought permission to liquidate these assets when the value of GBTC shares stood at approximately $1.4 billion.

紐約破產法院於 2 月 14 日批准了出售 GBTC 股票的決定，同時出售灰階以太坊 (ETH) 信託的股票。 Genesis 最初尋求清算這些資產的許可，當時 GBTC 股票的價值約為 14 億美元。

However, the recent surge in Bitcoin prices has significantly increased the value of the assets acquired by Genesis. At the current price of around $68,000 per Bitcoin, the purchased coins alone are now worth close to $2.2 billion.

然而，近期比特幣價格的飆升使得Genesis收購的資產價值大幅增加。以目前每個比特幣約 68,000 美元的價格計算，光是購買的比特幣就價值接近 22 億美元。

This financial infusion is part of Genesis's strategy to distribute assets to its Gemini Earn creditors. The firm's parent company, Digital Currency Group (DCG), has raised concerns that the proposed repayment plan would result in overpaying lenders.

此次資金注入是 Genesis 向 Gemini Earn 債權人分配資產策略的一部分。該公司的母公司數位貨幣集團（DCG）擔心擬議的還款計畫將導致向貸方支付過高的費用。

The crypto community's response to Genesis's move has been mixed. While cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has expressed confidence that the sell-off will not cause major market disruptions, there are lingering concerns about its potential impact on GBTC and the broader crypto industry.

加密社群對 Genesis 此舉的反應不一。儘管加密貨幣交易所 Coinbase 表示有信心此次拋售不會造成重大市場混亂，但人們仍然擔心其對 GBTC 和更廣泛的加密行業的潛在影響。

Genesis's financial woes stem from the fallout of the FTX bankruptcy in late 2022, which disrupted its lending operations and forced it to repay substantial deposits that were locked in its platform. As a result, Genesis explored various options, including hiring investment bank Moelis & Co. and announcing a 30% workforce reduction.

Genesis 的財務困境源於 2022 年底 FTX 破產的影響，該破產擾亂了其貸款業務，並迫使其償還鎖定在其平台上的大量存款。因此，Genesis 探索了各種選擇，包括聘請投資銀行 Moelis & Co. 以及宣布裁員 30%。

The bankruptcy filing also raised concerns about the stability of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust. Market observers feared a potential liquidation of over 600,000 Bitcoins linked to the Genesis bankruptcy.

破產申請也引發了人們對灰階比特幣信託穩定性的擔憂。市場觀察家擔心 Genesis 破產可能導致超過 60 萬個比特幣被清算。

Despite these challenges, Genesis recently settled a lawsuit with New York Attorney General Letitia James over allegations related to its Earn program. The settlement aims to return assets to former Earn customers and other Genesis creditors, subject to the approval of a bankruptcy judge.

儘管面臨這些挑戰，Genesis 最近與紐約總檢察長 Letitia James 就其 Earn 計劃相關指控達成和解。和解協議旨在將資產返還給前 Earn 客戶和其他 Genesis 債權人，但須獲得破產法官的批准。

Genesis's latest move to acquire Bitcoin is a significant step in its effort to repay creditors and stabilize its operations. The influx of digital assets provides the firm with valuable capital to address its financial obligations. However, the long-term impact of the sell-off on GBTC and the crypto industry remains to be seen.

Genesis 收購比特幣的最新舉措是其償還債權人和穩定營運的重要一步。數位資產的湧入為公司提供了寶貴的資本來履行其財務義務。然而，拋售對 GBTC 和加密產業的長期影響仍有待觀察。
