Mt. Gox 转移 12,000 BTC，引发债权人分配猜测

已停业的加密货币交易所 Mt. Gox 刚刚在其第一笔重大交易中将约 12,000 比特币转移到一个未知的新钱包地址

Bankrupt crypto exchange Mt. Gox has moved 12,000 Bitcoin from its cold wallet to a new, unknown address in its first major transaction since the end of July.

破产的加密货币交易所 Mt. Gox 已将 12,000 比特币从其冷钱包转移到一个新的、未知的地址，这是自 7 月底以来的第一笔重大交易。

The exchange made the move around 11:39 pm UTC on Aug. 20, sending 12,000 BTC

该交易所于 8 月 20 日世界标准时间晚上 11:39 左右进行了此次行动，发送了 12,000 BTC

, currently valued at $709.4 million, to an empty address starting with “1PuQB.”

，目前价值 7.094 亿美元，转移到以“1PuQB”开头的空地址。

It also sent 1,265 BTC to the address starting with “1Jbez,” which is labeled as a Mt. Gox cold wallet on Arkham Intelligence. The funds haven't moved since.

它还向以“1Jbez”开头的地址发送了 1,265 BTC，该地址在 Arkham Intelligence 上被标记为 Mt. Gox 冷钱包。此后资金一直没有动过。

The major move could indicate that Mt. Gox is preparing to distribute more Bitcoin to its creditors, who have been waiting to get their crypto back after the exchange was hacked and collapsed in 2014.

这一重大举措可能表明，Mt.Gox 正准备向债权人分发更多比特币，债权人在 2014 年交易所遭到黑客攻击并倒闭后，一直在等待拿回自己的加密货币。

However, Galaxy's head of research, Alex Thorn, believes otherwise.

然而，银河公司的研究主管亚历克斯·索恩(Alex Thorn)却不这么认为。

Thorn thinks that only a small amount of the funds moved — $74.5 million — are intended to be distributed, with the rest going into “fresh cold storage” still owned by the estate.

索恩认为，所转移的资金中只有一小部分（7450 万美元）打算进行分配，其余资金将进入仍归庄园所有的“新鲜冷库”。

In either case, it marks the first big Bitcoin move from Mt. Gox since July 30, when the exchange moved 47,229 BTC to three unknown wallets over a three-hour period.

无论哪种情况，这都标志着自 7 月 30 日以来 Mt. Gox 首次大幅转移比特币，当时该交易所在三小时内将 47,229 比特币转移到三个未知钱包。

At the time, Arkham Intelligence suspected that 33,105 Bitcoin went to an address owned by crypto exchange BitGo, one of the custodians working with the Mt. Gox Trustee to return funds to creditors.

当时，Arkham Intelligence 怀疑有 33,105 枚比特币流向了加密货币交易所 BitGo 拥有的地址，BitGo 是与 Mt. Gox Trustee 合作将资金退还给债权人的托管人之一。

Two weeks later, this wallet sent a test transaction before sending the entire amount to another unknown wallet address, where it has sat since.

两周后，该钱包发送了一笔测试交易，然后将全部金额发送到另一个未知的钱包地址，此后一直位于该地址。

Around 68% of Mt. Gox's funds have been distributed back to creditors, according to CryptoQuant data.

根据 CryptoQuant 的数据，Mt. Gox 大约 68% 的资金已分配给债权人。

As of the time of publication, Mt. Gox still holds a substantial amount of Bitcoin — 46,164 BTC, worth roughly $2.7 billion.

截至本文发布时，Mt. Gox 仍持有大量比特币——46,164 BTC，价值约 27 亿美元。

Interestingly, Mt. Gox creditors appear to have defied expectations, with creditors largely still holding onto their reacquired Bitcoin.

有趣的是，Mt. Gox 债权人的表现似乎超出了预期，债权人基本上仍持有其重新获得的比特币。

Bitpanda deputy CEO Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad told Cointelegraph earlier this month that it's important to remember that Mt. Gox was one of the earliest exchanges around, so those using it “were early adoptions.”

Bitpanda 副首席执行官 Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad 本月早些时候告诉 Cointelegraph，重要的是要记住，Mt. Gox 是最早的交易所之一，因此使用它的人“都是早期采用者”。

“For them, Bitcoin isn't just an asset, it's a technology and an idea that they really believe in. That doesn't mean they will never sell, but it will affect when they might sell and in what volumes.”

“对他们来说，比特币不仅仅是一种资产，更是一种他们真正相信的技术和理念。这并不意味着他们永远不会出售，但这会影响他们出售的时间和数量。”

Maria Carola, CEO of cryptocurrency exchange StealthEX, told Cointelegraph that these creditors are opting to hold onto their coins “primarily due to expectations of future price appreciation, aiming for potentially higher returns.”

加密货币交易所 StealthEX 首席执行官玛丽亚·卡罗拉 (Maria Carola) 告诉 Cointelegraph，这些债权人选择持有他们的代币“主要是因为对未来价格升值的预期，旨在获得潜在的更高回报”。

She added that liquidating their funds right away “could mean significant capital gains taxes,” while holding onto the funds could allow investors to “delay these taxes or await more favorable market conditions.”

她补充说，立即清算资金“可能意味着巨额资本利得税”，而持有这些资金则可以让投资者“推迟这些税收或等待更有利的市场条件”。
