According to new reports, Mt. Gox creditors may have to wait up to three months until they receive their Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash repayments.

In the official notes, the trustee revealed that the timeline for payouts to become visible in creditors’ accounts could vary depending on the exchanges.
- Kraken is given 90 days to process payouts.
- Bitstamp may take up to 60 days.
- BitGo will have payouts made visible within 20 days.
- SBI VC Trade and Bitbank will both complete payouts within 14 days.
In the official document, the exchange wrote that each of the designated crypto exchanges is obligated to add the number of BTC and BCH to the balance of a rehabilitation creditor’s account or to transfer BTC or BCH to a wallet linked to the account within a certain number of days after the day of the BTC/BCH transfer from the Rehabilitation Trustee.
Repayments to Eligible Creditors
In the same announcement, the exchange also said that repayments to eligible creditors will be made only if they meet certain conditions.
These include the following:
- Confirmation of the validity of registered accounts
- Acceptance of the intention to subscribe to an agreement by designated exchanges
- Completion of discussions with the trustee
