Mt. Gox’s 2 Largest Creditors Pick Payout Option That Won’t Force Bitcoin Selloff: Sources

Creditors have waited nearly a decade to get a portion of their money back after Mt. Gox – one of the first and, at one time, the largest crypto exchanges in the world – was hacked in 2014. Hackers made off with 850,000 BTC, a sum valued at $460 million at the time. After the hack, Mt. Gox was left with approximately 142,000 BTC, 143,000 bitcoin cash (BCH), and 69 billion Japanese yen.
