Is Movement Labs in trouble? (2026)

Movement Labs is still live as of Sep 8, 2026, but our sensors flagged 1 dated, sourced signal. Most recent: On July 15, 2026 MVMT Labs, Inc. (Movement Labs) filed a Chapter 11 voluntary petition under Subchapter V in the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, case 26-11113. Press reports on the petition list assets of $100,001 to $500,000 against $1 million to $10 million in liabilities and 200 to 999 creditors, including ousted co-founder Rushi Manche with a claim above $1.6 million. The court docket sets the creditors meeting for August 20, 2026, proofs of claim due by September 14, 2026, and the Subchapter V reorganization plan due by October 13, 2026. The Movement chain itself is not part of the filing: Move Industries, the separate company that became its primary developer in December 2025, says it operates normally. No speculation, no death predictions.
