“FTX will provide further details and instructions to Preferred Equity Holders regarding payment method and related steps and timelines. Payments will be made to holders who will have provided all required information, successfully verified their eligibility and be registered as holders of record on the FTX docket as of the April 30, 2026 record date,” the press release read.
The March 2026 distribution extends a payout process that began over a year ago. The first round started in February 2025, specifically targeting “Convenience Class.”
A second round that May sent more than $5 billion across both claim classes, followed by a $1.6 billion third round in September.
Previously, from prison, FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried argued that FTX was not insolvent. He has also alleged that legal counsel drove the Chapter 11 filing.
Those claims have drawn broad skepticism. Bankman-Fried is serving a 25-year sentence after a 2023 conviction on seven criminal counts.
