• The payout will constitute 90% of the total collectible amount, with approximately 70% of it being in Bitcoin and 30% in cash.
• UBS strategists have stated that the upcoming Mt. Gox bankruptcy repayments are unlikely to impact the price of Bitcoin due to most early adopters still being crypto believers.
