BlockFi Claim — 100% Recovery Achieved

BlockFi Case Status 2026

BlockFi filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in November 2022, following the collapse of FTX — to which BlockFi had significant exposure. The filing shocked many users who had trusted the platform as one of the more established crypto lending companies, backed by high-profile venture capital and with seemingly robust risk management practices.

What distinguished BlockFi's outcome from most other crypto bankruptcies of that era — including Celsius, Voyager, and FTX — was the quality and composition of its asset base. BlockFi was able to recover significant assets, and the litigation against FTX's estate also contributed to eventual recoveries. The result was extraordinary: a 100% recovery for all allowed creditor claims.

The Chapter 11 plan was consummated on October 24, 2023, and distributions proceeded through Kroll Restructuring Administration (formerly Epiq). The First Interim Distribution went out to verified creditors, followed by the Final Distribution in late 2024. As of mid-2026, the case is largely concluded. The only remaining open items are holdback resolutions for a small subset of creditors whose claims had specific issues requiring resolution.

Did You Miss the BlockFi Distribution?

If you held funds on BlockFi and have not received any distribution, there are several possible reasons — and steps you can take to investigate.

The most common reason for not receiving a distribution is incomplete KYC verification. BlockFi's administrators required all creditors to complete identity verification through the Kroll portal before distributions could be made. If you started the process but didn't finish it, or if your verification was rejected, your distribution would have been held.

Another reason is that some creditors simply didn't check their email or the Kroll portal for updates and missed communications. Distributions were not automatically sent to BlockFi accounts — they required active participation in the claims process, including setting up distribution preferences through the Kroll platform.

Step-by-Step: Check Your BlockFi Claim

1. Visit the Kroll claim lookup portal Go to forms.ra.kroll.com/efiling/fr/claim-lookup/blockfi/new and search for your claim using your name and email address. This will show your claim status, amount, and distribution history.
2. Check the main restructuring portal The BlockFi restructuring case documents and updates are available at restructuring.ra.kroll.com/blockfi/. Case documents, plan amendments, and distribution notices are posted there. The distributions portal at cases.ra.kroll.com/BlockFiDistributions/ has specific distribution-related information.
3. Verify your KYC was completed If the portal shows your claim but indicates KYC is incomplete or rejected, that is the reason for non-payment. Contact Kroll directly to understand what documentation is needed and whether there is still an opportunity to complete verification for holdback resolution.
4. Contact Kroll if you believe you're owed funds Email BlockFiInfo@ra.kroll.com with your full name, the email address associated with your BlockFi account, your claim number (if known), and a clear description of your situation. Kroll's team handles these inquiries and can investigate your specific case.

What Are Holdbacks and Do I Have One?

A holdback is a portion of a creditor's allowed distribution that is withheld pending resolution of a specific issue. Holdbacks are standard practice in complex bankruptcy proceedings and do not indicate that a creditor has done anything wrong.

Common reasons for a BlockFi holdback include: a disputed claim amount that required additional review, a KYC issue that needed further documentation, a regulatory hold due to sanctions screening or compliance review, a pending legal matter affecting the creditor's account, or an administrative issue such as an unverified distribution address.

If you had a holdback, you should have been notified by Kroll during the distribution process. Holdbacks are tracked in the claims portal. Most holdbacks are expected to be resolved as part of the final administrative wind-down of the case. If you believe you have a holdback that should have been resolved but hasn't, contact BlockFiInfo@ra.kroll.com directly.

For the vast majority of BlockFi creditors — those who completed verification and had no disputed claim amounts — there was no holdback, and 100% of their allowed claim was distributed.
