The $355 million in BTC was split into a direct and indirect route to different Bitstamp wallets, potentially for easier allocation of repayments to specific creditors.
Mt. Gox’s change in BTC holdings aligns with the repayment <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/mt-gox-repayments-bitcoin-bitcoin-cash">announcement made by the defunct exchange</a> on July 5. The statement indicated it would “promptly" distribute the owed funds in Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-cash-price-index">BCH</a>) to creditors.
Cointelegraph reached out to Bitstamp to enquire about the current status of the repayments process, but did not receive response before publication.

Bitstamp is one of the five exchanges working with Mt. Gox to further the Rehabilitation Plan repayments process and is helping return funds to creditors. 
According to CryptoQuant data, over 66% of the BTC owed to creditors of Mt. Gox has been distributed.

According to Arkham Intelligence data, Mt. Gox currently holds 90,344 BTC worth around $6 billion, but this remains outdated and unchanged in the last 48 hours. 
On July 23, Cointelegraph coverage explained that <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/mt-gox-3-2b-bitcoin-outflows-july-23">holdings were in fact down to around 42,744 BTC</a>, worth $2.85 billion, after Mt. Gox sent out over 47,500 BTC.
On July 24, 37,477 BTC was sent out at 4.53 am UTC and a further 5,106 BTC followed at 6.16 am UTC — tallying up to 42,583 BTC sent out in the last four hours.
By subtracting the four-hour outflow from the holdings reported on July 23, the Arkham-tracked Mt. Gox entity holds only 161 BTC, worth just $10 million.
