Mt. Gox Resumes BTC Shuffle, Are Repayments Back on Track?
- Defunct exchange Mt. Gox is back in the spotlight with fresh Bitcoin movements.
- The renewed activity comes after a period of silence.
- Recent developments have put a hold on settlements.
Mt. Gox, once the largest cryptocurrency exchange before a devastating hack led to its collapse, has recently returned to the spotlight, reimbursing thousands of users impacted by its downfall. With the exchange’s comeback came frequent large-scale Bitcoin transfers, distributed among entities and eventually directed toward repayments.
However, the exchange recently paused the process, but new portfolio stir-ups have renewed chatter.
Mt. Gox’s Fresh $35M BTC Transfer
After nearly four weeks of silence, Mt.Gox resumed Bitcoin shuffling across its wallets. On Friday, November 1, 2024, approximately 500 BTC was moved from a cold wallet associated with the now-defunct exchange.

Split in two transactions of 468.24 BTC and 31.78 BTC, the assets, worth approximately $35 million at current prices, were moved to two unmarked addresses, marking the first significant movement since the exchange’s last such transfer on September 5.

Typically, Mt. Gox’s repayment process begins with asset movements across various addresses before funds are distributed to creditors, and the latest movement has renewed hope for more repayments, particularly as many continue to await settlement.
However, the transfer to unmarked addresses rather than designated exchanges as usual signals otherwise, and recent deferrals suggest creditors may be waiting even longer.
Mt. Gox Postpones Repayments
With over 17,000 individuals reimbursed for their losses in the Mt.Gox collapse, Mt.Gox has made significant progress in closing the decade-long process. However, on October 12, 2024, the firm announced its decision to delay its repayment process by another year, now targeting October 31, 2025.
The exchange cited incomplete procedures on the creditors’ part as one of the factors for the delay, adding that certain issues were encountered during the process
“Many rehabilitation creditors still have not received their Repayments because they have not completed the necessary procedures for receiving Repayments. Additionally, a considerable number of rehabilitation creditors have not received their Repayments due to various reasons, such as issues arising during the Repayments process,” the statement read.Analysts suggest that the deferral may also be an effort to address concerns about a potential Bitcoin supply surplus, which could lead to price drops.
Mt. Gox holds around 44,905 BTC, worth approximately $3.1 billion.
On the Flipside
- Bitcoin recently slipped below its week-long $70,000 price point, losing approximately 4% to trade at $69,318 at press time.
- One Mt. Gox creditor reportedly became a millionaire during the repayment process after holding just $60,000 worth of BTC at the time of the exchange’s crash.
Why This Matters
With numerous creditors still awaiting their repayments, Mt. Gox’s Bitcoin movements certainly attract attention. However, the extended payment deadline implies that these recent transactions are likely just shuffles rather than substantial news for those waiting.
