Billion

<div class="insidebitcoins">
 Over $9 billion in Bitcoin from the Mt. Gox era could return to the crypto space in the next few weeks to&nbsp; “spook the market” and exert selling pressure on Bitcoin, K33 Research said.
 More than $9.4 billion in BTC and $72 million in Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is owed to Mt. Gox’s 127,000 creditors, along with an additional 69 billion Japanese yen worth around $445.8 million.
 “Mt. Gox coins could become a relevant negative price contributor in the next weeks,” K33 Research analysts Anders Helseth and Vetle Lunde wrote in an April 23 note.<img decoding="async" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='//www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="Mt.

 <h2 id="span-style-font-weight-400-updates-started-appearing-on-reddit-span">Updates Started Appearing On Reddit</h2>
 Rumors about the impact of the impact on the Bitcoin price started to circulate on Reddit earlier this week after some of Mt. Gox’s creditors said they saw updates regarding their claims. These updates included how much crypto and fiat is owed to creditors, and re<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="payment" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/payment.html">payment</a> dates also were mentioned.
 Many have identified this as an indication that crypto <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="payment" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/payment.html">payment</a>s might soon be executed. If true, creditors could start seeing Bitcoin paid back to them within the next month.&nbsp;
 This is under the assumption that crypto payments follow the same payment schedule as fiat payments, the K33 Research analysts said in the note.
 Although the release of the crypto might not lead to immediate selling pressure, the analysts believe that the collective size of the payouts is large enough to “spook the market.”
 <h2 id="span-style-font-weight-400-mt-gox-collapsed-in-2014-span">Mt. Gox Collapsed In 2014</h2>
 Mt. Gox collapsed in 2014 after it fell victim to a series of hacks that went unnoticed for years. After being left in the dark for more than a decade, creditors finally started receiving communication from the Mt. Gox trustee at the start of this year.
 Some creditors reportedly received Japanese yen re<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="payment" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/payment.html">payment</a>s towards the end of 2023. More creditors said that they received further fiat transfers in March this year, K33 said.
