Cemetery / Mt. Gox
Mt. Gox
Once the dominant Bitcoin exchange; suspended withdrawals in February 2014 after a massive BTC shortfall and entered Japanese bankruptcy / rehabilitation proceedings. Creditor distributions have continued for years.
Quick answer
Mt. Gox is tracked in the CTD crypto project cemetery so former users can reconstruct venue history, claim status, and tax-relevant records. Start with CSV exports, account statements, explorer history, and any claim-portal documents before asking software or an accountant to review the case.
1. History reconstruction
Where leftover records may still live.
CSV / statements: Creditor claim filings and trustee communications; historical trade CSVs often only on users’ local exports.
Software: Most tax software cannot re-fetch Mt. Gox history; import any local CSV / claim schedule you kept.
- Rehabilitation distributions may create new taxable events depending on jurisdiction — verify with official guidance / a pro.
- Do not treat claim-token or distribution receipts as a full substitute for missing trade history.
