Mt. Gox Shifts Significant Bitcoin Holdings, Pushes Repayment Deadline

The defunct Japanese cryptocurrency exchange, Mt. Gox, has executed its largest Bitcoin transaction in eight months, even as it announces a further delay in repayments to creditors, now slated for late 2026. The Mt. Gox-affiliated cold wallet transferred 10,608 Bitcoin (BTC), valued at over $953 million, to a new cryptocurrency wallet. This marks the first large-scale movement of funds in eight months. Data from Arkham indicates that this is also the first transaction exceeding $1 million from this address since March 25, when 893 BTC (worth $77.3 million at the time) were transferred. As of this writing, Mt. Gox still retains 34,689 Bitcoin, estimated to be worth approximately $3.14 billion.

Repayment Delay Sparks Unease

The transfer has surprised many within the crypto community, particularly as Mt. Gox has postponed its repayments for another year, setting a new deadline of October 31, 2026. The exchange cited ongoing complexities in creditor procedures as the reason for the delay. “As it is desirable to make the Repayments to such rehabilitation creditors to the extent reasonably practicable, the Rehabilitation Trustee, with the permission of the court, has changed the deadline,” Mt. Gox stated in an October 27 announcement. This delay means that approximately $4 billion worth of Bitcoin will remain off the market for another year, potentially mitigating the risk of a sudden sell-off by Mt. Gox creditors.

$953 Million Transfer Fuels Investor Anxiety

Some industry observers view the transfer as a potentially worrying sign that Mt. Gox is preparing to liquidate its Bitcoin holdings, which could exert downward pressure on the cryptocurrency market. “Mt. Gox has just moved over $900M in bitcoin, likely preparing to dump it on the market,” commented Jacob King, a financial analyst and CEO at SwanDesk, in a recent post. However, the receiving wallet, identified as “1ANkD,” has, to date, only held the 10,608 BTC it received. It has not yet sent any coins to centralized exchanges, which would be a stronger indication of an imminent sale.

Mt. Gox: A History of Woes

Mt. Gox was once the leading Bitcoin exchange globally, facilitating over 70% of all BTC trades at its peak following its launch in 2010. The Tokyo-based platform infamously collapsed in 2014 after revealing the loss of approximately 850,000 BTC due to a security breach – one of the largest hacks in cryptocurrency history. A lengthy civil rehabilitation process has been underway to recover and distribute the remaining assets to creditors, who have faced numerous delays and revisions to the repayment timeline.
