Bitcoin Plunges as Mt. Gox Starts Distributing Funds to Creditors

As an experienced analyst, I believe that the recent transfer of Bitcoin from Mt. Gox to new wallets is a significant development in the long-running saga of the collapsed Bitcoin exchange. However, it does not necessarily mean that repayments to creditors are imminent. The analyst Alex Thorn’s prediction that most of the transferred BTC will be hodled is plausible given the lengthy wait creditors have endured for their funds.


After Mt. Gox moved approximately $5.1 billion in Bitcoins to a newly created digital wallet, the value of Bitcoin took a significant nose dive.

As a financial analyst at Galaxy Digital, I have made the prediction that the vast majority of Bitcoins in circulation will be held onto by investors, also known as “hodling.” On the other hand, I anticipate significant selling pressure for Bitcoin Cash.

As an analyst, I would interpret Thorn’s perspective as follows: Based on my analysis, Thorn is of the opinion that these assets are being gathered and prepared for eventual distribution to creditors. Consequently, the recent transfers should not be taken as a sign that repayments are about to occur imminently.

Several creditors were given the opportunity to sell their debts, but they chose not to. It’s worth noting that a significant number of these claims could potentially shift the market if even a fraction of them were sold.

As a crypto investor who was unfortunate enough to have my funds held in Mt. Gox during its catastrophic collapse in 2014, I can attest to the decade-long struggle we’ve faced in trying to recover our losses. The upcoming distribution of these funds is widely anticipated among analysts, with many viewing it as a potential bearish catalyst for the market.

The price of the foremost cryptocurrency reached a high of $70,601 on the Bitstamp exchange on May 27th, but then experienced a significant decrease, falling approximately 4.6%.
