On July 23, <a href="https://www.mtgox.com/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Mt. Gox</a> moved over 47,500 Bitcoin, worth nearly $3.2 billion, to two unknown addresses at 5:05 am and 6:27 am UTC, according to Arkham Intelligence data.
Although Mt. Gox was reported to hold 90,344 Bitcoin valued at $6.02 billion, its current holdings have decreased to approximately 42,744 BTC, worth $2.85 billion.
Following a statement on July 5 about repayments, Mt. Gox plans to promptly compensate creditors, and these plans appear to be well underway.
The Mt. Gox wallet labeled “Mt. Gox: Cold Wallet (1Jbez)” recently sent 5,110 BTC, worth around $340 million, to an unknown wallet and the cryptocurrency exchange Bitstamp.
Of this, 2,871 BTC, valued at around $191 million, was sent to an unknown address starting with 1JKMS, while the remaining BTC, worth $149 million, landed on Bitstamp.
Previously, 42,587 BTC, worth $2.85 billion, had been sent to another unknown address starting with 15yPU.

On July 22, Mt. Gox began preparations to repay creditors through Bitstamp, as indicated by onchain fund movements.
Arkham Intelligence noted that Mt. Gox addresses deposited $1 to four separate Bitstamp deposit addresses, confirming Bitstamp as one of five exchanges collaborating with the Mt. Gox Trustee.
Despite finance analyst Jacob King’s speculation on July 4 that 99% of creditors would sell their coins immediately, a Reddit poll suggests otherwise.
With the latest $3.2 billion in BTC moved from the Mt. Gox address, over $12 billion has been offloaded to creditors since July 16.
On July 16, Mt. Gox witnessed outflows of over 140,000 BTC after two weeks of inactivity, marking a significant movement.
In just three hours, nearly 190,000 BTC were transferred, contributing to over $12 billion in volume movements as repayments continued as promised.
