<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="will-mt-gox-creditors-sell-their-bitcoin">Will Mt. Gox creditors sell their Bitcoin?</h2> 
<p>Based in Shibuya, Tokyo, Mt. Gox was hacked six times between 2011 and 2014, and hackers stole over 850,000 BTC. The incident is still one of the largest crypto hacks in history, and the haul is currently valued at more than $60 billion.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>At least $9 billion is owed to creditors, and market observers hold different opinions regarding whether creditors will sell.&nbsp;If users decide to offload BTC tokens, BTC may experience sell pressure. As of this writing, the token traded down 2.3% and cost about $65,800 per token.&nbsp;</p>
