Storj Labs, known for its decentralized cloud storage and computing solutions, has sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States to address its outstanding financial obligations.
The firm disclosed its voluntary restructuring filing with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of West Virginia on July 26, 2026. This process will be overseen under the case number 5:26-bk-00512. Storj clarified that this filing does not signify an intention to halt operations and that the company plans to continue its normal activities.
According to information provided about the court filing, the estimated assets and liabilities of the company are between $1 million and $10 million, with the total number of creditors ranging from 1 to 49.
Storj explained that this restructuring is focused on addressing “historical liabilities” incurred prior to adopting its current strategy. Moreover, the firm indicated that its primary investor, Inveniam, remains committed to financially supporting Storj, while operations are being adjusted to fit present conditions, stressing that past debts cannot be resolved merely through growth.
The following statement from the company was included:
“Today, Storj has initiated a voluntary financial restructuring process, managed with court oversight, to deal with historical liabilities predating our current strategy. Our business and network continue to operate without interruption.”
Storj does not anticipate any modifications to the services provided to customers, its decentralized storage network, or its staff during the Chapter 11 proceedings. The company plans to fulfill employee salaries and normal business commitments arising post-filing, pending necessary court approvals.
Additionally, the firm intends to divest certain operations resulting from former acquisitions that fall outside its core focus, allowing for a renewed emphasis on decentralized storage. Storj mentioned that Inveniam also endorses this restructuring as a vital step toward establishing a stable financial foundation for the company.

New Partnership Framework for STORJ Token Holders
Management at Storj further stated their intention to introduce a model that allows the management team, investors, the decentralized network community, and STORJ token holders to partake in the ownership of the restructured entity.
However, they noted that the specific details regarding potential shares for token holders are still under development. Aspects such as terms of participation, distribution methods, and other essential details will be outlined as part of the restructuring agenda and require court approval.
Furthermore, Storj confirmed that the Chapter 11 filing does not impact the current application of the STORJ token within the network. Company officials stated that they will refrain from making any evaluations regarding the token’s price during the process.
