Mt. Gox wallet shows activity, hinting at Bitcoin distribution start.
-
BitGo’s involvement in the process adds credibility.

The long-awaited repayments to creditors may finally be underway.
A wallet linked to the now-defunct Mt. Gox exchange initiated test transactions, indicating a possible start to the long-awaited Bitcoin distribution to creditors.
The wallet, which received $2.19 billion from Mt. BitGo, a cryptocurrency exchange that works with Mt. Gox Trustee will disburse any remaining funds.
Arkham claims that a transaction made on August 13, 2024 sparked speculation about a distribution imminent. This relatively small transaction compared to the wallet total value suggests that the trustee is testing out the process before moving forward with larger transfers. The wallet, identified as bc1q26 by creditors, is being closely examined.
This recent activity could be a sign that the distribution process is getting closer to reality. The transaction involved moving approximately 1,02 BTC worth around $59700 with a $4.13 fee. The inputs to this transaction came from different sources, adding up the total value.
The role of BitGo in this process is crucial. BitGo is one of the few exchanges that are trusted with the distribution of Bitcoins. This adds a layer of trustworthiness and security to the process, ensuring creditors get their funds quickly.
The withdrawal of funds from the wallet is a crucial moment in the long, complex story of Mt. Gox’s bankruptcy. Creditors have waited for years to recover lost assets. The start of test transactions gives renewed hope that this wait is finally coming to an end.
