OMAHA, Neb., April 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exodus Movement, Inc. (NYSE American: EXOD) ("Exodus"), a leading self-custodial cryptocurrency platform, today announced that it has exercised its contractual right to appoint Receivers in the United Kingdom to take control of Monavate Holdings Limited, Monavate Ltd and Baanx.com Ltd — three subsidiaries of W3C Corp (“W3C”), whose shares were pledged as security for a secured loan on which W3C has defaulted.
Exodus is a secured lender to W3C, having loaned $70 million to W3C under a term facility governed by English law. As previously disclosed, on April 13, 2026, Exodus declared these loans to be payable on demand. On April 27, 2026, Exodus demanded immediate repayment of its on-demand loan by 5:00 p.m. BST. When W3C failed to repay the loan, Exodus exercised its contractual right to appoint Receivers in the United Kingdom to take control over the shares in Monavate Holdings Limited, Monavate Ltd and Baanx.com Ltd.
The Receiver team includes two Partners and Managing Directors of the financial advisory and global consulting firm AlixPartners, who together have more than 55 years’ experience in the area of restructuring and interim management in the United Kingdom. The Receivers intend to conduct a sale of the shares of Monavate Holdings Limited, Monavate Ltd and Baanx.com Ltd., and Exodus intends to participate as a bidder in this sale process.
JP Richardson, CEO and Co-Founder of Exodus, commented, “Exodus acted decisively to protect our shareholders. Nothing will change for Monavate and Baanx customers or team members during the receiver process, and we look forward to a successful resolution.”
