WASHINGTON, July 16, 2025 – Liberty Broadband Corporation announced Monday it has completed the spin-off of GCI Liberty, Inc., officially separating into two independent publicly traded companies.

GCI Liberty, [formerly GCI,](https://broadbandbreakfast.com/gci-to-become-gci-liberty-after-spinoff-from-liberty-broadband/) serves more than 200 communities across Alaska, having invested $4.7 billion into its network and facilities over the past 45 years. It was [acquired by Liberty Broadband in 2020](https://www.libertybroadband.com/news/detail/23/liberty-broadband-and-gci-liberty-announce-closing-of?ref=broadbandbreakfast.com). Now, GCI Liberty has been cut loose and will operate independently with its shares distributed to Liberty Broadband stockholders, the company [said in a press release](https://www.libertybroadband.com/investors/news-events/press-releases/detail/336/liberty-broadband-corporation-completes-spin-off-of-gci?ref=broadbandbreakfast.com).

The spin-off comes as Charter Communications moves to acquire Liberty Broadband, a company that holds a 26% stake in Charter and few other assets. The Liberty deal was being accelerated to coincide with Charter’s planned merger with Cox Communications.
