Character.AI Files for Bankruptcy, Plans $20 Million Asset Sale to Disney

Bend, OR, October 13, 2026 —

Character.AI has filed for bankruptcy and plans to sell certain assets to Disney for $20 million, according to the information provided. The announcement links the bankruptcy filing with a proposed asset sale, but does not say that the transaction has been completed.

The information does not identify which assets Character.AI plans to sell or provide further details about the proposed transaction. It also does not specify when the bankruptcy filing was made, where it was filed, or what type of bankruptcy proceeding is involved. No additional terms of the proposed sale were provided.

The available summary does not describe the circumstances behind the filing or explain how the bankruptcy process could affect Character.AI, Disney, or other parties. It also does not include statements from either company, details about the status of the planned sale, or information about any next steps.

As a result, the confirmed details in the summary are limited to the bankruptcy filing and Character.AI’s plan to sell certain assets to Disney for $20 million. The assets involved, timing, transaction terms and procedural status were not provided, so it is not possible to determine from the available information whether the sale will proceed or when it might be completed.
