Mt. Gox Moves 10,608 BTC Worth Nearly $1B as Bitcoin Slides Toward $90,000

Analysts describe the transfer as internal housekeeping, with creditor distributions not due until October 2026.

Overview

  • Arkham Intelligence tracked the late‑Monday shift of 10,608 BTC, including 10,422 BTC to a previously unused address and 185.5 BTC back to a Mt. Gox hot wallet.
  • The on-chain activity was the exchange’s first major wallet movement in about eight months, renewing attention on its remaining reserves.
  • Bitcoin extended recent losses after the transfer, briefly touching about $89,500 during a broader market decline.
  • Reporting notes no flows to known exchange deposit addresses, a pattern that on-chain observers say points to internal wallet reorganization rather than immediate payouts.
  • Mt. Gox still holds roughly 34,689 BTC, and the court-approved deadline for repayments to an estimated 80,000 creditors runs through October 31, 2026.
