FTX Plans $16.5B Payout, Uses 2022 Prices for Valuation
FTX is projected to distribute between $14.7 billion and $16.5 billion to repay creditors, but significant hurdles have arisen concerning asset valuation and recovery strategies.
The bankruptcy court has adopted a unique valuation framework, relying on cryptocurrency prices from November 2022, the month FTX collapsed. As a result, creditors will not benefit from subsequent price rises, such as Bitcoin’s ascent to $100,000.
Despite these constraints, FTX believes that 98% of creditors, including individual investors with claims of $50,000 or less, will recover at least 118% of their investments based on the valuations from 2022.
