The previous record was 38 billion-dollar businesses during the same period of 2009.

"It's going to be a bumpy ride," Ben Schlafman, operating chief of New Generation Research, which owns BankruptcyData.com, told the Financial Times.Billion-dollar US companies have filed for bankruptcy at an unprecedented rate this year as the coronavirus pandemic continues to plague numerous industries.

That figure exceeds the 38 billion-dollar businesses that filed in the same timespan in 2009 — at the height of the financial crisis — and easily surpasses the 18 companies of that size that filed in the same period last year. Large oil-and-gas companies have also been hit hard. There have been 33 filings in the industry this year, including Chesapeake Energy, Whiting Petroleum, and Diamond Offshore Drilling.
