- Updated information reveals plans to distribute 142,000 BTC, 143,000 BCH, and 69 billion yen by October 31, 2024.
- Ongoing verification processes involve confirming creditor identities and account statuses on other cryptocurrency exchanges.
The Mt Gox community is closely monitoring updates from the defunct exchange as it introduces new repayment details on its website, hinting at progress in the long-standing reimbursement process for creditors.
Information shared on Reddit indicates that updates include specific details about the pending disbursements.
Technical Updates Lead to Speculation
A Reddit user, known as Due_Career_4786, reported that the Mt Gox website was temporarily offline, likely due to updates being applied to the platform.
This downtime aligns with changes to the repayment schedule displayed on the website, suggesting forward movement in the repayment process.
Proposed Repayment Details
According to the newly updated information on the Mt Gox site, the exchange plans to distribute 142,000 BTC, 143,000 BCH, and 69 billion yen to its creditors. The target date for completing these payments is set for October 31, 2024. However, the exact timing of these disbursements remains uncertain.
Community Warned Against Over-Optimism
The user who first noted the updates also advised the community to temper their expectations. He speculated that the changes might have been made to reduce the frequent inquiries from creditors about when they would receive their funds, rather than indicating that payments are imminent.

Continuous Efforts Toward Creditor Reimbursement
Since suffering a hack in 2014, Mt Gox has been engaged in efforts to compensate the affected creditors. In January, the platform validated the Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash addresses of its creditors, confirming their identities and the activity of their accounts on various cryptocurrency exchanges. This step highlights Mt Gox’s continuous dedication to settling the disputes of its users.
Moreover, major cryptocurrency platforms such as Bitstamp, which recently stopped its operations in Canada on January 4, 2024, and Kraken are involved in facilitating the repayment process.
As the final date for repayment draws nearer, those affected by the Mt Gox incident continue to watch for definitive actions that will conclude one of the most prolonged recovery efforts in the cryptocurrency world.
