In July 2022, Voyager announced it was initiating Chapter 11 to “create an efficient path to resume account access and return value to customers.” Chapter 11 allows the company to preserve its assets whilst it intiates financial restructuring.
Voyager was exposed to Three Arrows Capital (3AC) by as much as US$665 million. The brokerage stated its exposure to 3AC includes 15,250 bitcoin (US$315 million) and US$350 million worth of USDC.
