Genesis 通过购买 21 亿美元比特币来支持还款计划，并抛售 GBTC 股票

据报道，陷入困境的加密货币贷款公司 Genesis 在出售 3600 万股灰度比特币信托 (GBTC) 股票后购买了价值 21 亿美元的比特币 (BTC)。破产法院已于 2 月 14 日批准出售，目的是用所得款项偿还债权人。由于近期比特币价格飙升，所购买的 BTC 价值大幅上涨，Genesis 计划将这些比特币分发给 Gemini Earn 债权人，作为其还款策略的一部分。

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

Genesis 在 GBTC 抛售中向还款计划注入 21 亿美元比特币

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).

纽约州纽约 - 2024 年 4 月 6 日 据报道，为了加强还款工作，破产的加密货币借贷公司 Genesis 在出售大约 3600 万股灰度比特币信托 (GBTC) 股票后购买了价值 21 亿美元的比特币 (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.

根据 Bloomberg Law 引用的 4 月 5 日提交的法庭文件，Genesis 清算了 3600 万股 GBTC 股票，用所得收益购买了 32,041 枚比特币。此举是该公司偿还受财务困境影响的债权人计划的一部分。

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.

纽约破产法院于 2 月 14 日批准了出售 GBTC 股票的决定，同时出售灰度以太坊 (ETH) 信托的股票。 Genesis 最初寻求清算这些资产的许可，当时 GBTC 股票的价值约为 14 亿美元。

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，近期比特币价格的飙升使得Genesis收购的资产价值大幅增加。按照目前每个比特币约 68,000 美元的价格计算，仅购买的比特币就价值接近 22 亿美元。

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.

此次资金注入是 Genesis 向 Gemini Earn 债权人分配资产战略的一部分。该公司的母公司数字货币集团（DCG）担心拟议的还款计划将导致向贷方支付过高的费用。

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.

加密社区对 Genesis 此举的反应不一。尽管加密货币交易所 Coinbase 表示有信心此次抛售不会造成重大市场混乱，但人们仍然担心其对 GBTC 和更广泛的加密行业的潜在影响。

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 的财务困境源于 2022 年底 FTX 破产的影响，该破产扰乱了其贷款业务，并迫使其偿还锁定在其平台上的大量存款。因此，Genesis 探索了各种选择，包括聘请投资银行 Moelis & Co. 以及宣布裁员 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.

破产申请还引发了人们对灰度比特币信托稳定性的担忧。市场观察家担心 Genesis 破产可能导致超过 60 万个比特币被清算。

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.

尽管面临这些挑战，Genesis 最近与纽约总检察长 Letitia James 就其 Earn 计划相关指控达成和解。该和解协议旨在将资产返还给前 Earn 客户和其他 Genesis 债权人，但须获得破产法官的批准。

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 收购比特币的最新举措是其偿还债权人和稳定运营的重要一步。数字资产的涌入为公司提供了宝贵的资本来履行其财务义务。然而，抛售对 GBTC 和加密行业的长期影响仍有待观察。
