Celsius CFO：公司或有足够的现金支持运营到年底:金色财经报道，Celsius Network首席财务官Chris Ferraro周五在与债权人举行的破产听证会上表示，公司现在可能有足够的资金为其运营提供资金，直到今年年底。Ferraro表示，额外的资金来自向加密交易所Bitfinex提供的6100万美元贷款，这些贷款将在未来几周到期。此外，Celsius购买采矿设备的销售税和使用税节省了大约2000万美元。Ferraro表示，Celsius已冻结其零售贷款的所有活动，包括不要求客户支付贷款利息，也不清算它们。并且预计到2023年初将出现正现金流。
根据主持Celsius重组计划的律师事务所Kirkland&Ellis周一提交的法庭文件，Celsius此前曾估计，到10月底它将用完现金，本周早些时候的法庭文件还显示，该公司的现金流基本上为负数。[2022/8/20 12:36:49]
