Crypto-focused bank Silvergate Capital suspended dividend payments on its preferred stock as it seeks to preserve capital.Silvergate said FridayThe bank said the decision reflects its"focus on maintaining a highly liquid balance sheet with a strong capital position as it navigates recent volatility in the digital asset industry.", revealing that it suffered a loss of $1 billion in the fourth-quarter, culminating in a $949 million full-year loss.
Suffering contagion from the collapse of several crypto firms last year, which came to a head with the demise of crypto exchange FTX in November, Silverbank's stock lost around 90% of its value in 2022. This has continued in the early part of 2023, with the shares down a further 18% in January.
