According to experts, this fund transfer could indicate two possibilities. First, Mt. Gox may be preparing to start repayments to its creditors. Second, the exchange might be aiming to provide liquidity by releasing its Bitcoin holdings into the market. In either scenario, the introduction of such a large amount of BTC into circulation could exert significant downward pressure on prices.

Details of the $905 Million Bitcoin Transfer

Official reports show that Mt. Gox sent a total of 11,501 BTC to two different addresses. While $905 million worth of BTC was transferred to an unidentified wallet, the remaining portion continues to be held in a warm wallet. It’s also reported that a 20 BTC test transaction was conducted beforehand to verify the system’s operation.

Last week, Mt. Gox had already moved more than $1 billion worth of Bitcoin to another address. Given that Mt. Gox still holds 35,915 BTC (valued at around $2.8 billion), these transfers are expected to continue impacting the market. Investors are closely monitoring any new transactions from these wallets.

What Will Be the Impact on Bitcoin’s Price?

Following news of the transfer, Bitcoin fell below $77,000, intensifying selling pressure. Experts highlight that current support levels are weak and that the market is going through a fragile period. Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, stated that Bitcoin could experience sharp volatility between the $70,000 – $75,000 range.

Ryan Lee, an analyst at Bitget Research, predicts that if Bitcoin loses support at $77,000, prices could decline to the $70,000 – $72,000 zone. However, in a strong recovery scenario, BTC could quickly rise back toward the $80,000 – $85,000 range. Investors will be watching both Mt. Gox wallet movements and overall market developments closely.

Users Want to Receive Their Bitcoin as Soon as Possible!

BitBank acted quickly on repayments and, according to The Block Pro’s share, transferred Mt. Gox Bitcoin repayments to users’ accounts within hours.

Citing creditor statements, The Block Pro reported that creditors want Bitbank to transfer Bitcoin repayments to their accounts in just a few hours, faster than the maximum 14-day period allotted to them.

The trustee stated that intermediary exchanges have different time frames for processing and completing payments, with Kraken having a deadline of up to 90 days.

Accordingly, Bitstamp has up to 60 days, BitGo has 20 days to process repayments, and SBI VC Trade and Bitbank have up to 14 days.

While creditors are eager to receive their BTC as soon as possible, there has also been a statement from former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpeles regarding the repayments.

In a post on X account, the former CEO stated that customers are finally starting to receive their Bitcoin and celebrated the progress made over the past decade.

“It’s been a long journey and I’m happy to see we’re finally there,” Karpeles said.
