As a seasoned financial analyst with a decade-long career in the crypto market, I’ve closely monitored the developments surrounding Mt. Gox and its ongoing distribution of Bitcoin to creditors. The latest report from CryptoQuant revealing that 36% of the coins have been distributed has certainly piqued my interest.
Approximately one-third plus of the Bitcoin originally owed to creditors of the defunct Mt. Gox exchange has already been dispersed, as indicated by a recent report from crypto analytics firm CryptoQuant. This revelation emerges amidst a surge in Bitcoin’s price value.
Based on information posted by a cryptocurrency analytics company on microblogging platform X (previously known as Twitter), approximately 36% of the 141,686 bitcoins held by the Mt. Gox trustee have been dispersed and transferred to their original users.

Over the past few days, Bitcoin’s price has attempted to break through the $65,000 barrier despite some fluctuations. It reached a peak of $66,000 but then experienced a small decrease, now trading at around $64,800.
As a crypto investor, I’ve kept a close eye on the developments surrounding Mt. Gox, the once-dominant Bitcoin trading platform that suffered a devastating hack in 2011. This unfortunate event ultimately led to the company filing for bankruptcy in 2014. More recently, there have been signs of transactions from the platform, reviving concerns among investors about a possible mass sell-off. Creditors, who stand to gain a share of the estimated $9 billion Bitcoin stash that Mt. Gox has held since its bankruptcy, could be responsible for these transactions. Such a large sale could significantly impact the market and lead to price drops.
As the Mt. Gox bankruptcy case winds down, the court-administered trustee has signaled that creditors may receive their first installments by the end of October. It remains undecided if these creditors will keep their digital tokens or sell them in the open market.
Arthur Hayes, the co-founder of renowned cryptocurrency derivatives trading platform BitMEX, has shared his perspective on the relationship between the U.S. dollar and Japanese yen exchange rates. According to him, a weakening yen could potentially push Bitcoin’s price past the $1 million threshold.
Hayes proposed a hypothetical situation where the Federal Reserve engages in dollar-for-yen purchases using freshly printed U.S. dollars, thereby supplying the Bank of Japan with necessary funds for currency market stabilization. Simultaneously, China would be permitted to carry on with its monetary expansion.
He proposed that this approach might result in the US dollar losing value, and with Bitcoin’s surge, the dollar’s role as the global reserve currency could be jeopardized. If his hypothesis is correct, institutional investors would likely shift to investing in spot Bitcoin ETFs as a means of protection against the weakening of conventional currencies.
