After transferring 42,587 BTC on July 23rd, Mt. Gox continued to move 37,477 BTC to a new wallet address, along with $130 million worth of BTC directly to the Bitstamp exchange.

On the morning of July 24th (UTC), a Bitstamp representative confirmed that they had received the funds from Mt. Gox and would begin the reimbursement process for customers starting Thursday, August 1st.

According to on-chain data from Arkham, Mt. Gox transferred 37,477 Bitcoin (approximately $2.5 billion) to a new wallet address “12Gws9E” at 04:53 AM on July 24th (UTC). Subsequently, Mt. Gox moved another $300 million in Bitcoin to a cold wallet and then transferred $130 million to the Bitstamp exchange.
