Bankrupt crypto miner Core Scientific has shut down over 37,000 BTC mining rigs it’s been hosting for the similarly bankrupt Celsius Network, with the miner claiming the freed space could bring $2 million per month in revenue.
Celsius’ contracts claiming the firm's failure to pay its power bills constitutes a material breach of contract.
According to the court filings, the termination of the agreement would apparently allow Core Scientific to generate a revenue of $2 million per month from the space currently occupied by Celsius’ mining rigs. The hosting deals terms allowed Core Scientific to pass on some of the power costs to Celsius, which have considerably increased since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
According to the rejection motion, covering the increased power fees cost Core Scientific almost $7.8 million as of Dec. 28 and the miner noted it “cannot afford to continue shouldering the burden of Celsius’ unpaid power costs.”
