Mt. Gox in a note mentioned that the repayments to other creditors will be made after the crucial conditions are being met. This includes confirmation of the validity of registered accounts, verification of the Agency Receipt Agreement with creditors and more.

Arkham data shows that the defunct crypto exchange addresses moved 33.96K BTC (approx. worth $2.25 billion) to BitGo’s linked addresses. BitGo is the final custodian that is working with the Mt. Gox Trustee in the repayment process.

Earlier, the exchange moved over 33K BTC (approx worth $2.19 billion at that time) to multiple addresses. Japanese exchange Bitbank on July 5, received 1,545 Bitcoin (approx. worth $84.9 million then).

Mt. Gox filed for bankruptcy in February 2014 after it lost up to 950K Bitcoin in a hack. However, the exchange blamed a bug for the loss. The defunct platform later recovered 140K BTC.
