Failed cryptocurrency exchange Mt. Gox is on its last stage of reimbursing clients with Bitcoin (BTC).

According to data from Arkham Intelligence, a wallet that received $2.19 billion in Bitcoin from Mt. Gox has just initiated test transactions.

 

This wallet “bc1q26” is likely Bitgo, the 5th and final exchange working with Mt. Gox Trustee to distribute funds to creditors.

 

So the main question now is when will they start distributing and could this have a negative impact on BTC’s price?
