Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.
On February 3, 2023, PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. (“PwC”) was appointed as receiver (the “Receiver”) to the Facilities of two of our Non-Recourse SPVs pursuant to proceedings (the “Canadian Receivership Proceedings”) commenced in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the “B.C. Supreme Court”) by NYDIG, the lender to such Non-Recourse SPVs. On June 28, 2023, the Receiver filed an assignment in bankruptcy on behalf of such Non-Recourse SPVs and PwC was appointed as Trustee in Bankruptcy (“Trustee”) of the Non-Recourse SPVs’ estates, and this appointment was affirmed at the meeting of creditors held on July 18, 2023.
On May 9, 2023, NYDIG filed an application in the Canadian Receivership Proceedings seeking, among other things, declarations to the effect that any difference between revenue generated by the Non-Recourse SPVs through the provision of hashpower services to the Company and Bitcoin mined by the Company is collateral securing the Facilities, as well as substantive consolidation of certain Group entities and claims of fraudulent conveyance and oppression.
On August 10, 2023, the B.C. Supreme Court issued a ruling affirming the Company’s position that, among other things, the Bitcoin mined by the Company is not collateral securing such facilities and there is no parent guarantee with respect to the equipment financing facilities, and no relief in respect of substantive consolidation was granted. However, the B.C. Supreme Court declared transactions pursuant to hashpower services provided by the relevant Non-Recourse SPVs to the Company to be void as fraudulent conveyances. The court dismissed NYDIG’s oppression remedy claim. The Company disagreed with the decision and certain factual findings and filed a notice to appeal with the British Columbia Court of Appeal (“B.C. Court of Appeal”) on August 21, 2023. NYDIG filed a cross-appeal on January 30, 2024, in respect of the orders dismissing the substantive consolidation and oppression claims. On June 27, 2024, the B.C. Court of Appeal released its judgment in which it allowed the appeal and set aside the B.C. Supreme Court’s declaration of fraudulent conveyances. The B.C. Court of Appeal allowed the cross-appeal in part and remitted the oppression relief to the B.C. Supreme Court for consideration, but upheld the B.C. Supreme Court’s dismissal of NYDIG’s substantive consolidation claim.
On September 17, 2024, the Trustee commenced a proceeding in the Federal Court of Australia (the “Australian Federal Court”) seeking recognition of the Canadian Bankruptcy Proceedings in Australia pursuant to Article 17(1) of the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency, being Schedule 1 to the Cross-Border Insolvency Act 2008 (the “Australian Recognition Proceedings”). The Company was granted leave by the Australian Federal Court to appear as an intervener in the Australian Recognition Proceeding and filed an interlocutory application opposing the relief sought by the Trustee. On October 18, 2024, the Court dismissed the interlocutory application and made orders for the recognition of the Canadian Bankruptcy Proceedings in Australia and appointing local representatives of the Non-Recourse SPVs in such proceedings (the “Local Representatives”). On September 25, 2024, the Company filed an application for leave to appeal the judgment, which was ultimately dismissed by the full bench of the Australian Federal Court on April 11, 2025.
On August 12, 2025, the Company, the Non-Recourse SPVs, NYDIG, PwC and the Local Representatives entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) to fully resolve and terminate all existing and future claims between them arising from the Facilities and the Australian Recognition Proceedings, Canadian Bankruptcy Proceedings and Canadian Receivership Proceeding. Absent a settlement, the Company believes that NYDIG, the Receiver and the Local Representatives would likely have sought to commence additional proceedings and/or bring additional claims against the Company and its affiliates, subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders, which would have resulted in, among other things, further litigation, additional legal and other costs, damage to the Company’s reputation and further diversion of management’s attention and resources.
Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, NYDIG, the Receiver and the Local Representatives agreed to immediately take any and all necessary steps to conclude and terminate the Australian Recognition Proceedings, the Canadian Bankruptcy Proceedings and the Canadian Receivership Proceedings. In addition, NYDIG, the Receiver and the Local Representatives agreed to immediately cease commencement or continued pursuit of any claims against the Company and its released parties, including ceasing all investigation work, such as the examinations. Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company is required to pay a settlement amount to NYDIG and the releases become effective upon the discontinuance and termination or dismissal of the Australian Recognition Proceedings and the Canadian Receivership Proceedings, and the submission by PwC to the applicable Canadian regulatory body of the necessary materials to conclude the Canadian
Bankruptcy Proceedings, of which $18.2 million exceeds amounts previously accrued by the Company with respect to such matters.
On September 5, 2025, the Canadian Receivership Proceedings were concluded and on October 8, 2025, the Australian Recognition Proceedings were terminated. Termination of the Canadian Bankruptcy Proceedings remains subject to court approval and requires more extensive procedural steps that are expected to take around six months to finalize and potentially longer. The Company has agreed to pay a settlement amount to NYDIG of $20 million and such amount was recorded as a loss contingency in the Group’s consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2025. The settlement amount was subsequently paid during the three months ended September 30, 2025. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business” in our Annual Report, Note 19 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2025 included in this Quarterly Report and Notes 6 and 16 to our audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2025 included in the Annual Report for further information.
On December 14, 2022, a putative securities class action complaint naming the Company and certain of its directors and officers was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. An amended complaint in this action was filed on June 6, 2023, also naming as defendants the Company and certain of its directors and officers, as well as the underwriters of the Company’s IPO. The Company moved to dismiss the amended complaint, and on September 27, 2024, the court granted the Company’s motion, dismissing the case without prejudice and with leave to file a further amended complaint.
The lead plaintiffs then filed a second amended complaint on November 12, 2024. The second amended complaint, which has substantial similarities to the prior complaint, asserts claims under Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act, purportedly on behalf of a putative class of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired (a) Ordinary shares in the Company pursuant and/or traceable to the Company’s IPO and/or (b) Company securities between November 17, 2021 and November 1, 2022, both dates inclusive. It contends that certain statements made by the Company and certain of its officers and directors, including in the Company’s IPO Registration Statement and Prospectus, were allegedly false or misleading and seeks unspecified damages on behalf of the putative class. The Company believes these claims are without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously. On January 21, 2025, the Company served a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint in its entirety. The lead plaintiffs served their opposition to the motion to dismiss on March 24, 2025, and the Company on May 9, 2025 served its reply in further support of its motion to dismiss. The motion is fully briefed and remains pending.
See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—General Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report for further information.
On June 23, 2025, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal with the Tax Court of Canada, to dispute the Canada Revenue Agency’s determination that the Company has a permanent establishment in Canada and the related GST assessment.
