The initiative, known as “FTX 2.0,” seeks to breathe new life into FTX.com or FTX US through avenues like acquisitions, mergers, recapitalizations, or other strategic transactions, with the deadline for bids set at September 24.

While the documents didn’t reveal the identities of these bidders, blockchain technology firm Figure and venture capital firm Tribe Capital have been previously reported as expressing interest in the exchange’s revival, as per the Wall Street Journal.

What’s even more intriguing is the revelation that the company holds substantial assets, totaling around $7 billion, as Coincu previously reported. These assets encompass a hefty $1.16 billion worth of Solana (SOL) tokens and $560 million in Bitcoin (BTC).

As of August 31, the company maintained a cash reserve of $1.5 billion, along with cryptocurrency holdings valued at $3.4 billion, on top of its $1.1 billion in assets as of November 11.

The company’s pursuit to revive the exchange has garnered considerable attention within the cryptocurrency space. With a significant pool of potential bidders exploring various strategies, the fate of FTX.com and FTX US hangs in the balance, awaiting the outcome of the bidding process before the September deadline.
