On Wednesday (June 22), Voyager Digital Ltd. (TSX: VOYG), the owner of crypto trading platform Voyager Digital, announced that its operating subsidiary Voyager Digital, LLC “may issue a notice of default to Three Arrows Capital (‘3AC’) for failure to repay its loan.”
According to Voyager’s press release:
- Voyager’s 3AC exposure is 15,250 bitcoins and 350 million USDC;
- Voyager has asked to be paid 25 million USDC by June 24 and the remaining balance to be repaid by June 27;
- So far, Voyager has received nothing from 3AC, and if 3AC fails to meet these deadlines, Voyager will consider that 3AC has defaulted on the loan;
- Voyager intends to recover these funds from 3AC and is consulting its advisors to find the best course of legal action, but it does not know if it will be able to get anything from 3AC.
Furthermore, Voyager announced that its subsidiary Voyager Digital Holdings, Inc. (“VDH”) has “entered into a definitive agreement with Alameda Ventures Ltd. (‘Alameda’) related to the previously disclosed credit facility, which is intended to help Voyager meet customer liquidity needs during this dynamic period.”
Apparently, VDH “entered into a definitive agreement with Alameda for a US$200 million cash and USDC revolver and a 15,000 BTC revolver.” The proceeds are “intended to be used to safeguard customer assets in light of current market volatility and only if such use is needed.”
As of June 20, Voyager has “approximately US$152 million cash and owned crypto assets on hand, as well as approximately US$20 million of cash that is restricted for the purchase of USDC.”
The blog post also mentioned that:
“Alameda’s obligation to provide funding is subject to certain conditions, which include: no more than US$75 million may be drawn down over any rolling 30-day period; the Company’s corporate debt must be limited to approximately 25 percent of customer assets on the platform, less US$500 million; and additional sources of funding must be secured within 12 months.”
In the year-to-date period, shares of Voyager Digital are down 94.45%:
