Mt. Gox creditors could receive billions as trustee announces approval of rehabilitation plan
Thousands of creditors of the Mt. Gox exchange may now receive compensation for the billions of dollars they lost at the time. The hack resulted in a loss of around 850,000 Bitcoins between 2011 and 2014, driving the crypto exchange into bankruptcy.
Victims to receive compensation for the cryptocurrencies they lost
The trustee of the now-defunct Japanese exchange, Nobuaki Kobayashi, announced on Wednesday that a draft rehabilitation plan, initially filed with the Tokyo District Court in February, has now been accepted by about 99% of affected creditors. Once the plan is in place, victims will receive partial compensation for the cryptocurrencies they lost in the hack. The voting period for the proposal was between May 31 and October 8. For the proposal to be approved, at least 50% of eligible creditors had to agree.The plan's adoption will take place on November 20, after which the recovery plan will become "final and binding." While users had lost nearly 850,000 Bitcoins, of which 200,000 tokens have since been "found," Kobayashi will reportedly be able to compensate them with just 15,000 BTC. Creditors will then receive compensation by registering their bank details on the exchange's web portal.
Mt. Gox handled nearly 70% of all Bitcoin transactions worldwide
At the time of the hack, cryptocurrencies were even more nascent than they are today. Mt. Gox was one of the largest exchanges in the world, handling nearly 70% of all Bitcoin transactions worldwide. However, the hack resulted in nearly 24,000 creditors losing their cryptocurrency funds, which were worth about $56 billion at the time of writing. A petition to initiate a civil rehabilitation of the exchange was granted by Japanese courts in 2018. However, it has been repeatedly postponed for various reasons. The Tokyo District Court finally approved the current draft plan in December 2020 and issued an order in February this year allowing creditors to vote on the plan.In a similar incident, Bitfinex, which had replaced Mt. Gox as the leading Bitcoin exchange, also suffered a security breach in 2016. Bitfinex's creditors lost 119,756 Bitcoins worth around $72 million at the time. However, they were all compensated for their losses over the next year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
