Bankrupt Bitcoin (BTC) mining firm Core Scientific has objected to paying a $4.7 million administrative claim put forward by crypto lender Celsius Network, leading to a battle between the firms over contractual obligations.<\/p>\n
According to the objection, which was filed in Texas bankruptcy court on May 5, Core Scientific has asked that Celsius Network\u2019s $4.7 million administrative claims be rejected as the firm cannot prove it is entitled to one.<\/p>\n
\u201cCelsius\u2019 request for allowance and immediate payment of the Celsius alleged admin claim ignores that Core has substantial claims against Celsius, which Core believes exceed the Celsius alleged admin claim,\u201d wrote the objection. <\/p>\n
For context, Core first signed a contract with Celsius in 2020 to host its cryptocurrency holdings in Core\u2019s data centers. However, due to an increase in the price of power, Core passed these additional costs on to Celsius, an allowance that was reportedly stipulated in the original contract. <\/p>\n
