The now active wallet was dormant for two weeks after receiving the 33,105 BTC on July 30 at 11:28 pm UTC.


Worth $2.19 billion at the time of the transfer, the BTC received has fallen by around $23 million, as the price of BTC sat around $58,900 on Aug. 13.


Since the test transaction, no further activity has occurred on the wallet.


According to CryptoQuant data, as of 19 hours ago, 67.7% of the Mt. Gox distribution process had been completed.Repaid creditors’ diamond hands


Despite waiting over a decade to receive their locked-up funds in the defunct exchange, a sell-off was not triggered by the approximately 127,000 Mt. Gox creditors set to receive funds.


Although over $3.2 billion in BTC had been appropriated to creditors during the distribution process, the market did not witness a related fall in the price of the assets.


According to a Glassnode report in late July, the distribution marks “the final chapter in a major market overhang over the industry since 2013.”

On July 5, Mt. Gox announced it would begin repaying its debts to creditors in BTC and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) per its rehabilitation plan.


The announcement stated that repayments would be sent to rehabilitation creditors via designated crypto exchanges, including Kraken, Bitstamp and Bitgo.


Reports on Reddit confirmed the start of repayments at the time, citing the “rehabilitation trustee” making a transfer of “BTC/BCH” to the original poster.


Over $9.4 billion worth of Bitcoin is owed to Mt. Gox creditors who have been waiting for over 10 years to recover their funds from the collapsed crypto exchange.
