Mt. Gox moves $2 billion in Bitcoin, sparking speculation of additional repayments

Share This Post

Mt. Gox, the defunct crypto exchange, has transferred more than $2 billion worth of Bitcoin into two newly created wallets, according to data from Arkham Intelligence.

Data from the blockchain analytics platform shows that Mt. Gox executed this transaction on Nov. 4 at 23:38 UTC. Most of these funds, totaling 30,371 BTC, were directed to an unknown wallet address labeled “1FG2C.” About an hour later, around 2000 BTC was transferred to the address “15gNR.”

Despite these transfers, Mt Gox still holds about 44,378 BTC, valued at $3.04 billion as of press time, according to Arkham Intelligence.

Meanwhile, SpotOnChain, another blockchain analytics firm, highlighted that the Mt. Gox wallet has been particularly active recently. Within the past four days, it has moved 32,871 BTC, valued at approximately $2.22 billion, into various blockchain wallets.

Of this amount, a small segment—296 BTC, worth about $20.13 million—went to wallets connected to two prominent crypto exchanges, OKX and B2C2.

This substantial transfer has sparked widespread speculation about Mt. Gox’s schedule for its remaining assets and the potential impact on the crypto market.

Over recent months, Mt. Gox has continued distributing Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash to creditors who suffered losses during the infamous 2014 hack. The hack saw the disappearance of up to 950,000 BTC, now worth over $58 billion.

These repayments are processed through several major platforms, including Kraken, Bitstamp, and BitGo. Notably, Mt. Gox recently extended its repayment deadline by a year—from Oct. 31, 2024, to Oct. 31, 2025—to ensure it can complete reimbursements for all creditors.
