The bankruptcy filing is limited to WeWork's locations in the U.S. and Canada, the company said in a press release.
The company reported liabilities ranging from $10 billion to $50 billion, according to a bankruptcy filing.
Valued in 2019 at $47 billion in a round led by Masayoshi Son's SoftBank, the company tried and failed to go public five years ago.
The company leases millions of square feet of office space in 777 locations around the world, according to its regulatory filings.
