River Financi2026-09-28 17:31:03River sues Blockstream Services Canada over $6.7 million bitcoin mining disputeRiver Financial has sued Blockstream Services Canada, claiming the Canadian bitcoin mining services company failed to make payments required under a termination agreement tied to a managed hosting relationship that began in December 2021. The complaint says River had prepaid nearly $7.8 million in 2021 and 2022 under three Hosting Services Orders, and that by December 13, 2024, Blockstream still held $4.3 million of those funds. Under an exit deal signed that day, River says it was owed about $3.5 million in prepaid hosting refunds plus a $3.1 million early termination fee, for a total of $6.7 million. The lawsuit alleges payments were supposed to begin on August 1, 2025, in monthly installments of $239,389.40, but Blockstream Services Canada stopped paying on March 31, 2026 and remained in default when River filed suit on September 11. Protos also reported that the case is unrelated to the recent hack involving the Blockstream-supported Liquid Network, and said PACER filings show the first missed installment came about half a year before that incident.230
