anchored·w7eKur…D23ESummary
Storj Labs, the company behind the decentralized cloud storage protocol and STORJ token, filed for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on July 26, 2026 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of West Virginia (case 5:26-bk-00512). The company attributes the filing to legacy financial obligations predating its current operating strategy, not to operational failure, and states that its decentralized storage network and customer services remain uninterrupted. STORJ token holders face significant uncertainty: the company has proposed an equity conversion mechanism, but terms remain undisclosed, court approval is required, and token holders rank behind all creditors under standard bankruptcy law.
