Mt. Gox moves $2.2 billion in Bitcoin as it works to repay creditors
- Mt. Gox moved 32,371 Bitcoin to two wallets, amounting to $2.19 billion
- The movement follows the transfer of 500 Bitcoin worth more than $35 million
- In October, Mt. Gox announced it was pushing its repayment deadline to October 31, 2025
Defunct crypto exchange Mt. Gox has moved another $2.19 billion to two unmarked wallets, according to data from blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence.
Of the $2.19 billion, 30,371 Bitcoin was transferred to wallet 1FG2C…Rveoy. The extra 2,000 Bitcoin was sent to a cold wallet before being transferred to wallet 15gNRV…Aok. According to data from Arkham, the movement of Bitcoin comes five days after the exchange moved 500 Bitcoin worth over $35 million.
It’s one of the largest movements the exchange has made this year. In May, it was reported that Mt. Gox had transferred over $9 billion worth of Bitcoin to a new wallet. In July, the platform moved a further $2.8 billion . In both of these instances, it was thought Mt Gox’s trustee was preparing for repayment to creditors.
It may be that this further movement of Bitcoin is related to repaying creditors, something they have been waiting for since a hack caused the exchange to collapse in 2014. In October, Mt. Gox pushed its repayment deadline to October 31, 2025 , adding another year from its original date.
Last month, Mt. Gox said the extended deadline was down to two things: creditors not completing the repayment steps and issues arising from the repayment process.
