Mt. Gox trustee extends repayment deadline to October 2027, with about 34,388 BTC still held
Mt. Gox rehabilitation trustee Nobuaki Kobayashi, in a notice reported by Decrypt, pushed the repayment deadline to October 31, 2027, the fourth one-year extension, saying many creditors have not completed the required procedures. Arkham data cited in the report shows wallets linked to the estate hold about 34,388 BTC, worth roughly $2.8 billion, with no transfers since June.

Claims and open questions
What sources claim
- The trustee's notice, reported by Decrypt, sets the new deadline at October 31, 2027, after the court approved the change from October 31 this year; it is the fourth one-year extension.
- Kobayashi said base, early lump-sum and intermediate repayments are largely complete for creditors who finished procedures, but many have not been paid because procedures are incomplete or ran into issues.
- Blockchain analytics firm Arkham shows about 34,388 BTC, worth roughly $2.8 billion, still in wallets linked to Mt. Gox, with no transfers since June, when 10,422.65 BTC moved mostly to a new wallet.
Still unresolved
- Whether the estate will transfer or sell the roughly 34,388 BTC before the October 2027 deadline would be confirmed by on-chain transfers tracked by Arkham or statements from the trustee.
- How many creditors remain unpaid and what specific procedural issues block them would be confirmed by a further trustee notice or court filing.
- The timing of the next distribution round would be confirmed by an official announcement from the rehabilitation trustee.
