Mt. Gox again began shifting funds on July 23, moving over 47,500 Bitcoin worth almost $3.2 billion to two unknown addresses at 5:05 am and 6:27 am UTC.
<a href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/entity/mt-gox" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">According</a> to Arkham Intelligence data, Mt. Gox holds 90,344 Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>) worth $6.02 billion, but this is outdated, and its current holdings now stand at around 42,744 BTC worth $2.85 billion.
Following the defunct exchange’s <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/mt-gox-repayments-bitcoin-bitcoin-cash">repayments statement on July 5</a>, it established plans to “promptly” carry out repayments to creditors that seem well underway.

Despite finance analyst Jacob King speculating in an X post on July 4 that 99% of creditors would sell their coins “the moment” they get them, a <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/mt-gox-creditors-hodl-btc-payouts-reddit">Reddit poll says otherwise</a>.
