Celsius claim Galaxy Digital seeking over $190,000 to repay $3 debt

Celsius has objected to a motion filed by cryptocurrency company Galaxy Digital seeking over $190,000 in fees for storing only $2.67 worth of Celsius’ digital assets.

In a bankruptcy court filing Thursday, Celsius argues that Galaxy’s services were not necessary expenses deserving priority repayment.

Celsius filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July. The two companies had a business relationship where Celsius stored cryptocurrency on Galaxy’s platform and paid a monthly fee.

After Celsius sold part of its business to Galaxy in a bankruptcy sale, it says it only had $2.67 worth of cryptocurrency stored with Galaxy. But Galaxy kept invoicing Celsius around $30,000 per month.

Galaxy filed a motion claiming these were necessary administrative costs to preserve Celsius’ assets and asking the court to order repayment. Celsius objected, saying the tiny value stored makes the fees disproportionate and unnecessary.

Celsius has asked the court to deny Galaxy’s motion for fees totaling $191,610. Celsius says Galaxy failed to prove the expenses were actual and necessary costs deserving of priority repayment in the bankruptcy case.

The objection is pending before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
