Gox wallets just made waves with their first major Bitcoin move in three months. The exchange retains over $3.3 billion in BTC, with 166.5 coins moved to an old cold wallet (1Jbez) and 11,834 BTC sent to a fresh address (1Mo1n). 99Bitcoin\u2019s analysts are now predicting the defunct exchange will sell off its BTC after the <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/presales\/bitcoin-price-to-rocket-on-white-house-crypto-summit-news-btc-bull-token-hits-3-25m\/\">White House Crypto Summit<\/a>, ostensibly after a hype-driven pump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-body font-regular leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\">Mt. Gox once ruled the crypto world, handling 70% of all Bitcoin trades at its peak before collapsing in 2014 under the weight of an $850,000 BTC hack\u2014worth $450 million back then. The fallout threw the crypto market into chaos, leaving creditors in limbo for nearly a decade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-body font-regular leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\">Payback finally began in 2024, as small batches of Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash trickled out to 21,000 creditors via platforms like Kraken and Bitstamp. The process is now delayed until October 31, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/arkham\/status\/1897440224365457673\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">X<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-body font-regular leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\">These latest movements have injected fresh uncertainty into an already volatile crypto market. Some market observers believe Mt. Gox may be laying the groundwork for additional creditor payouts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-body font-regular leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\">This theory aligns with past wallet activity, such as a December 2024 transfer of 1,620 BTC, which preceded further repayments. However, the sheer size of this week\u2019s transfer has led to speculation that a large-scale Bitcoin sale could be imminent\u2014perhaps with the exchange capitalizing on Bitcoin\u2019s current trading range near $90,000.<\/p>\n<p>ICYMI: Earlier today Mt. Gox just woke up. Over 12,000 BTC ($1.2B) moved today\u2014the biggest transfer since its 2014 collapse. Eyes on the market. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pCfbr7pfja\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/pCfbr7pfja<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Nansen  (@nansen_ai) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nansen_ai\/status\/1897659312287424948?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">March 6, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"text-body font-regular leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\">Crypto Twitter, as always, is in Civil War mode. While most are debating who will benefit from the White House Crypto Summit \u2013 the going bet is Vitalik Buterin won\u2019t wear a suit \u2013 others are focusing on Mt Gox.\u00a0 A sale of this magnitude could apply downward pressure on Bitcoin\u2019s price, though some argue that institutional demand might easily absorb the supply.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"font-bold text-body leading-[24px] pt-[12px] pb-[2px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px]\">What\u2019s Next After The White House Crypto Summit?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-body font-regular leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\">Earlier this week, Bitcoin regained its footing at $90,162, a 4% rise in the past 24 hours after plunging from $94,770 to $82,681 in just a day. The drop, triggered by U.S. trade tariffs, underscored<a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/bitcoin-volatility-hits-low-as-btc-price-poised-to-recover-why-did-crypto-crash\/\"> market volatility<\/a>, but Bitcoin\u2019s recovery tells a different story. This isn\u2019t the same fragile asset shaken by Mt. Gox\u2014it\u2019s now a mature player with institutional backing, strong derivatives, and a reliable buyer base.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-body font-regular leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\">With less than two years until the final repayment deadline, Mt. Gox\u2019s actions will likely remain a focal point for both creditors and market participants. Whether this latest move signals more repayments or market activity, its impact will be closely monitored.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCOVER:\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/best-meme-coin-icos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Best Meme Coin ICOs to Invest in March 2025<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/discord.gg\/B7Uk6agkqj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Join The 99Bitcoins News Discord Here For The Latest Market Updates<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways\">\n<h3 class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__title\">Key Takeaways<\/h3>\n<p>        The ghost of Mt Gox resurfaced on March 6,<a href=\"https:\/\/clickoutmedia.slack.com\/archives\/C06UFDGRK1R\/p1741180823809729\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> shifting 11,834 BTC<\/a>\u2014just over $1 billion\u2014to an unidentified address.     <\/p>\n<p>        Friday\u2019s upcoming White House Crypto Summit might be the reason they\u2019re selling    <\/p>\n<p>        With less than two years until the final repayment deadline, Mt.
