The documents include details on Mt. Gox's financial status, a notification addressing the modification of the rehabilitation plan and the acquisition of authorization regarding payments, and a selection guide for cryptocurrency exchanges and custodians.

Mt. Gox advised creditors to confirm that the names and addresses listed are accurate.

Before issuing the refund, the database's information will be utilized to confirm the recipient's identification.

Release Of 137K Bitcoin

Approximately 850,000 BTC were stolen when Mt. Gox was hacked in 2011, however, in 2014, the exchange said that it had found 200,000 tokens.

Since then, creditors have been waiting to get repaid their digital assets.

According to the balance statement from Mt. Gox as of July 2022, 137,000 Bitcoin might be made available to the market.

According to several cryptocurrency analysts, the release of 137,000 BTC might result in increased sell pressure that could drive the price of Bitcoin below the $10,000 threshold.
