In July 2022, Celsius Network attempted to regain its empire from insolvency, addressing to which it had filed for Bankruptcy under the Chapter 11 protection act of the U.S. Court, Southern District, New York. However, non-executive employees may get the rewards, according to a court filing submitted by consulting firm Kirkland & Ellis and accepted by US Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn on the 5th of December 2022.

Moreover, a substantial count of workers had fled from the organization while approximately 170 of them remained out of the initial population of 370 as mentioned in the court proceedings.
