The Mt. Gox Trustee sent $2.25 billion in Bitcoin to two BitGo addresses as part of a $9 billion creditor repayment plan. 
After sending about $3 billion in Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BTC</a>) to Kraken and at least $335.8 million to Bitstamp, the defunct crypto exchange Mt. Gox also settled transfers to BitGo on July 31. 
It was previously unclear where the platform moved funds to as crypto.news <a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-drops-below-66k-as-mt-gox-moves-2b/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a>. However, the Trustee’s emails to users cited on a subreddit <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/mtgoxinsolvency/comments/1egezz2/bitgo_email_notification_of_btcbch_transfer/" target="_blank" rel="">dubbed</a> “mtgoxinsolvency” and Akrham intelligence confirmed BitGo was the recipient.&nbsp; 
Users said BitGo balances had not reflected the payments at press time.&nbsp;BTC initially fell below $66,000 after news of transfers to BitGo, but the cryptocurrency quickly recovered from losses and traded back above $66,500.

BitGo was the fifth and final custodian designated to handle creditor repayments after a 10-year wait period. Following a series of hacks between 2011 and 2014, more than 20,000 users waited over a decade for reimbursement.&nbsp; 
Mt. Gox held some 46,160 BTC worth over $3 billion after the Trustee <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/mt.gox/">transferred</a> Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Cash (BCH) to Kraken, Bitstamp, BitGo, and two other crypto exchanges.&nbsp; 
Since data signaled that the defunct trading venue has settled just over $5.5 billion in BTC repayments, it’s possible that the outstanding $3 billion in Bitcoin may also be disbursed to creditors.&nbsp;One user pointed to a supposed Trustee email claiming that 17,000 out of 20,000 creditors have received payments. As of writing, crypto.news was unable to verify the claim.
