Gox continued its repayments on July 24, offloading 5,106 Bitcoin valued at approximately $335 million to the cryptocurrency exchange Bitstamp and an unknown address.


According to Arkham Intelligence data, two transfers of 5,106 Bitcoin (BTC) were sent out at 6:16 am UTC, with 2,237 BTC worth $147 million sent to Bitstamp and around 2,869 BTC sent to an unknown address.

The $355 million in BTC was split into a direct and indirect route to different Bitstamp wallets, potentially for easier allocation of repayments to specific creditors.


Mt. Gox’s change in BTC holdings aligns with the repayment announcement made by the defunct exchange on July 5. The statement indicated it would “promptly" distribute the owed funds in Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) to creditors.


Cointelegraph reached out to Bitstamp to enquire about the current status of the repayments process, but did not receive response before publication.

According to Arkham Intelligence data, Mt. Gox currently holds 90,344 BTC worth around $6 billion, but this remains outdated and unchanged in the last 48 hours.


On July 23, Cointelegraph coverage explained that holdings were in fact down to around 42,744 BTC, worth $2.85 billion, after Mt. Gox sent out over 47,500 BTC.


On July 24, 37,477 BTC was sent out at 4.53 am UTC and a further 5,106 BTC followed at 6.16 am UTC — tallying up to 42,583 BTC sent out in the last four hours.


By subtracting the four-hour outflow from the holdings reported on July 23, the Arkham-tracked Mt. Gox entity holds only 161 BTC, worth just $10 million.
