Hardware that was “generating inadequate cash flow” to meet its “debt finance commitments” had to be unplugged by the Iris mining company.
Iris Energy, an Aussie Bitcoin mining company, is the most recent victim of the cryptocurrency bear market’s pressure, losing a sizeable portion of its mining capacity after failing on a mortgage.
According to a document submitted by the company to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on 21st of November, as of November. 18, it had disconnected the equipment used as the collateral for a loan of almost $108 mn.
The business said that the divisions “generate inadequate working capital to meet their separate borrowed funds obligations.” The business makes a monthly gross profit of about $2 mn in btc but is unable to pay its $7 mn in debt commitments.
