Mt. Gox Transfers $2 Billion in Bitcoin – What’s Left?

The now-defunct Mt. Gox exchange continues to make Bitcoin repayments to its creditors, with recent data showing a significant movement of BTC. The question arises about the remaining Bitcoin held by Mt. Gox and the impact of these repayments on the cryptocurrency market.

Recent Activity of Mt. Gox’s $2 Billion BTC

Arkham Intelligence, an on-chain analytics platform, disclosed that a wallet received $2.19 billion in Bitcoin from Mt. Gox and initiated test transactions. This wallet is believed to belong to Bitgo, the exchange approved for handling Mt. Gox’s BTC repayments to creditors. Following test transactions, Bitgo transferred the $2 billion BTC to another wallet, potentially as a security measure before distributing to creditors.
