Jinse Finance reported that Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin mining company IREN stated in its annual report that it will pay $20 million to NYDIG to resolve a long-standing dispute arising from defaults on Bitcoin mining equipment loans. The settlement agreement was first reached in August. IREN was involved in a debt default at the end of 2022, owing $107.8 million, including interest and late fees. These loans were arranged through NYDIG in 2021 to finance approximately 35,000 Antminer S19 miners. IREN stated that the settlement agreement ends all related litigation and protects its affiliates, executives, and shareholders from further claims, and is currently awaiting court approval for formal closure.
