The company, which started out as a Crown corporation before becoming a private entity in the 90s, operates communications satellites. The Globe and MailLenders to Ottawa-based Telesat Corp. TSAT-T have proposed a new recapitalization plan ahead of a looming debt-repayment deadline that the satellite operator is at risk of missing. Telesat, which is building a constellation of low-Earth-orbit satellites dubbed Lightspeed, has approximately US$1.71-billion in debt coming due Dec. 6, with another US$438-million of debt maturing in 2027.

Gox started repaying creditors in Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash in July 2024, and said in March 2025 that more than 19,500 creditors had received their repayments. The latest trustee notice did not disclose how many creditors remain unpaid or how much Bitcoin remains to be distributed. Wallets attributed to Mt.
