FTX creditor list shows airlines, charities and tech companies caught in collapse

The full list of creditors owed by bankrupt crypto exchange FTX has been released, revealing countless companies and government agencies involved in its collapse.

Late on January 25, FTX’s attorneys filed a list of creditors with the Delaware Bankruptcy Court. The massive 115-page document details creditors’ names in alphabetical order.

The list includes airlines, hotels, charities, banks, venture capital firms, media outlets, cryptocurrency companies, and a sprawling global network of companies from the United States and international government agencies, all of which have been sold by the collapsed exchange. I am making it clear that I am indebted.

However, the names of approximately 9.7 million (9,693,985) FTX customers with funds stuck on the exchange have been removed from the document.

Prominent crypto- and Web3-related companies that have borrowed money from FTX include Coinbase, Galaxy Digital, Yuga Labs, Circle, Bittrex, Sky Mavis, Chainalysis, Messari, and Binance entities.

Creditors include tech giants Apple, Netflix, Amazon, Meta, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft and Twitter. News outlets such as The New York Times, Wall Street Journal and CoinDesk were counted.

Several US state agency tax offices and the Federal Internal Revenue Service (IRS) were listed. Other government agencies such as Japan, Australia and Hong Kong are also creditors.

FTX owes not just the big ones, but also the seemingly smaller ones, like the Nassau-based pest control business and garden center that appears on the list.

The company’s former public relations firm, M Group, has emerged as a creditor. FTX hired a company to represent them, but the company Said Stopped trading with FTX upon bankruptcy.

Filings do not include any owes by each entity and inclusion in the listing does not imply that they had a trading account with FTX.
