In a press release on Monday, Voyager said in a press release that FTX winning offer represented the fair market value of its crypto holdings “at a to-be-determined date in the future” estimated to be roughly $1.3 billion along with $111 million of what it calls “incremental value.”

Noting that more information “will be shared as it becomes available,” Voyager said that FTX US “will enable customers to trade and store cryptocurrency after the conclusion of the company’s chapter 11 cases.”
