VANCOUVER, British Columbia – August 28, 2023 – Neptune Digital Assets Corp. (TSX-V:NDA) (OTCQB:NPPTF) (FSE:1NW) (“Neptune” or the “Company“), one of the first publicly traded blockchain companies in Canada, announces that it has sold its claim of $4,846,823 relating to the Genesis Global Capital bankruptcy to a third party buyer.
On January 20th, 2023, the crypto lender Genesis Global Capital filed for US Bankruptcy protection after freezing customer redemptions on November 16, 2022. Neptune had $3,999,990 USD and 40 BTC at the time filing on January 20, 2023, with a claim value of $4,846,823 USD. The Company has sold the claim for 47% of its total value and has received cash proceeds of $2,278,007 USD ($3.1mm CAD) on Monday, August 28, 2023.
“We are happy to have some closure around this claim. While we’re writing off just over half of the debt, we’ll be able to redirect the capital to fuel Neptune’s growth. By reinvesting, we’re poised to generate increased revenue and strategic investments, aiming to restore lost value, especially as we navigate a promising path in the evolving landscape of crypto markets. This proactive approach is more favorable than waiting for a settlement with uncertain timing and returns.” – Cale Moodie, CEO & President
