- The lender has received several offers to finance its restructuring
The mining business of the cryptocurrency loan Celsius was a controversial topic during his bankruptcy proceedings, but the company received approval to reduce and sell Bitcoin to support the company.
"Basically, this is a business discretion decision. It can be very wrong, but we will see," said Glenn.
Celsius has supposedly tamed the resistance of his believer committee by changing his suggestion, In order to determine that the proceeds from Bitcoin sales would be separated from the company's equipment.
However, the Ministry of Justice still levies against the plan. Process lawyer Shara Cornell from the Doj argued before the approval of judge Glenn argued that the operation was not clear enough to be approved.
"In this case we really are, transparency and we do not have this kind of insight into mining companies," she said. "For example, we do not know at the present time how high the debtor's pension costs are for the operation of these mining rigs."
Regardless of this, Celsius said at the hearing that it received several offers for money injections to finance his restructuring process. The company is expected to return to court on September 1 to approved auction procedure.

Celsius has 80,850 Bitcoin mining rigs, but only half of them are in operation. On July 13, the company enrailed an average of 14.2 Bitcoin (~ 341,634 $) per day, a Setting showed. It is expected to generate 10,118 Bitcoin this year and 15,000 Bitcoin next year. Mining is generally influenced by Bitcoin's volatility and is not always profitable.

Before the hearing on the second day, the Texas supervisory authorities and the official creditor committee of the lender asked how Celsius planned to monetize business.
"The relief for which Celsius asked is so comprehensive that they could monetize the coins and use the proceeds in a variety of ways," Dan Besikof, partner of the Loeb & Loeb law firm, told Blockworks.
But Celsius lawyer Ross Kwasteniet said: "Whether people agree or not, that was our business assessment."
