The post Mt. Gox Moves $953M Bitcoin, Causing Investor Concerns appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Defunct Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Mt. Gox has made its largest Bitcoin move in eight months, even as it pushes back creditor repayments until late 2026. The Mt. Gox-labelled cold wallet transferred 10,608 Bitcoin (BTC) worth over $953 million into a new cryptocurrency wallet, marking its first large-scale transfer in eight months. The transfer was also the first movement above $1 million from the address since March 25, when 893 BTC worth $77.3 million were moved, according to Arkham. Mt. Gox still holds 34,689 Bitcoin worth about $3.14 billion at the time of writing. Mt. Gox-labelled wallet, transfers, balance history.

Gox in an Oct. 27 announcement. The delay means around $4 billion in Bitcoin will be kept off the market for another year, reducing the risk of a sudden sell-off by Mt. Gox’s defunct creditors. Mt. Gox’s repayments have a diminishing impact on Bitcoin price, as new institutional entrants, including Bitcoin treasury firms and US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), have been absorbing the newly released supply. Bitcoin’s price has risen over 60% since Mt. Gox initiated the first tranche of repayments in July 2024, from about $56,160 to $91,172 at the time of writing. BTC/USD, all-time chart.
