Delaware Court of Chancery Dismisses BitGo’s Claims

Vice Chancellor J. Travis Laster of the Delaware Court of Chancery dismissed digital asset custodian BitGo’s claims against crypto investment firm Galaxy Digital, following a failed acquisition attempt in 2022. The decision by the court was based on Galaxy Digital’s “clean termination right” to the acquisition. This dismissal is a significant development in the dispute between the two leading firms in the cryptocurrency sector.

Galaxy Digital’s Termination Right Upheld

According to court documents filed on June 9, Galaxy Digital had the right to drop its decision to acquire BitGo as part of a $1.2 billion deal after considerable efforts, citing a breach of contract. BitGo had subsequently sought $100 million in damages, but the court has now largely dismissed these claims.

Vice Chancellor Laster ruled that Galaxy had a “clean termination right” based in part on BitGo’s failure to deliver certain financial statements during its efforts to go public in the United States. A spokesperson from Galaxy Digital expressed satisfaction with the court’s decision.

The Failure of the BitGo Acquisition

Galaxy Digital, under the leadership of Mike Novogratz, announced its plans to acquire BitGo in May 2021 as part of its public offering in the United States. However, the deal fell apart in 2022, with the company revealing a $77 million exposure to the bankrupt crypto exchange FTX.

The fallout from the failed acquisition has been significant. With the dismissal of BitGo’s $100 million lawsuit, the landscape of cryptocurrency business deals continues to show its volatile nature.

As of now, it is unclear what further legal actions BitGo can take following the Delaware court’s decision. However, this ruling serves as an important precedent for future legal disputes in the ever-evolving field of cryptocurrency.

Conclusion: An Important Precedent for Cryptocurrency Business Deals

This dismissal of BitGo’s $100 million claims against Galaxy Digital by the Delaware Court of Chancery serves as a pivotal juncture in the legal landscape of cryptocurrency business transactions. The court’s decision, based on Galaxy’s “clean termination right,” has demonstrated that the rules of engagement in conventional business practices apply within the volatile world of cryptocurrency.

As we move forward, it remains to be seen how this ruling impacts future acquisitions and business agreements within the cryptocurrency sector. However, it’s clear that this decision adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing conversation about the legal and financial frameworks surrounding cryptocurrency. As for BitGo, their future legal avenues are yet to be defined. What remains certain, though, is that the dismissal of these claims will be closely scrutinized by industry experts and may guide the negotiations in future crypto acquisitions and mergers.
