According to BlockBeats, a transaction report from investment firm Off the Chain Capital suggests that creditors of Mt. Gox will start receiving compensation from next week. However, they may be reluctant to give up the tokens they have held for a decade.
Off the Chain Capital CEO, Brian Dixon, wrote in the report that he does not anticipate an immediate market sell-off of these assets once Mt. Gox has completed its distribution. He noted that he has not seen many creditors selling their Bitcoin immediately after receiving it, as was the case a few years ago. This is because Bitcoin has matured significantly since Mt. Gox filed for bankruptcy in 2014.
Creditors must ask themselves whether they need this cash to purchase something, or if it would be better to keep Bitcoin as a long-term store of value, Dixon added. He also mentioned that Bitcoin has been the best-performing asset in 12 of the past 15 years.
