Mt. Gox Moves Nearly $1 Billion in Bitcoin Amid $87K Trading High

Mt. Gox Transfers $1B in Bitcoin as Market Shows Indifference to Exchange's Third Major Move in Four Weeks

  • Mt. Gox transferred approximately 11,501 BTC (worth over $1 billion) to two different wallets on Tuesday.
  • This represents the exchange’s third major fund movement in four weeks, following similar transfers in early March.
  • Unlike previous Mt. Gox transfers that caused market volatility, this movement has not significantly impacted Bitcoin’s price.

Mt. Gox, the defunct Japanese cryptocurrency exchange, has initiated another significant Bitcoin movement, transferring over $1 billion worth of cryptocurrency to separate wallets early Tuesday, according to data from Arkham Intelligence. This transfer occurred while Bitcoin was trading above the $87,000 mark in spot markets.

On-chain tracking data shows the exchange moved 893 BTC (approximately $78.11 million) to its hot wallet labeled 1Jbez, while simultaneously transferring a much larger sum of 10,608 BTC (approximately $927.48 million) to a change wallet identified as 1DcoA. Both transfers were executed during early Asian trading hours on Tuesday.

This marks the third substantial on-chain movement from Mt. Gox within a one-month period. The exchange previously relocated more than $900 million worth of Bitcoin on March 11, followed by another transfer exceeding $1 billion on March 6, as documented in Arkham’s tracking data.

Market analysts note a significant shift in investor sentiment toward these transfers. Unlike similar movements in mid-2023, which triggered widespread concern about potential creditor liquidations and subsequent price volatility, Tuesday’s transfer has had minimal impact on Bitcoin’s spot price.

The relative market calm contrasts sharply with previous reactions, suggesting cryptocurrency investors have adjusted their expectations regarding Mt. Gox’s on-chain activities. This changing sentiment likely stems from the exchange’s October announcement that extended its complete creditor repayment timeline by a full year to October 31, 2025, citing ongoing verification requirements and processing complications for claimants.

Mt. Gox’s continued fund movements remain closely monitored by the cryptocurrency community, as the exchange was once the world’s largest Bitcoin trading platform before its collapse in 2014 following a massive hack that resulted in the loss of approximately 850,000 BTC.
