HyperBlock

HyperBlock (CSE:HYPR), a Toronto, Ontario-based company that operated one of the largest cryptocurrency mines in North America, filed for bankruptcy on May 19, listing approximately $10.4 million in liabilities, including approximately $5.0 million to Project Spokane and $2.8 million to Sean Walsh. On May 14, the company's electricity provider terminated its long-term power contract with the company. This termination, combined with the impact of the recent Bitcoin algorithm halving which cut the company's mining rewards in half, and the company's generally deteriorating working capital position, made it unable and uneconomical to continue operations. Crowe Soberman is the bankruptcy trustee.
