The FTX Recovery Trust announced Wednesday that it will distribute $2.2 billion to creditors on March 31, 2026. Eligible recipients will receive funds through their chosen distribution provider within one to three business days. A fifth payment round is scheduled for May 29, 2026.
The fourth distribution includes an 18% payout for Dotcom Customer claims, a 5% distribution for US Customer Entitlement Claims, and a 15% distribution for both General Unsecured Claims and Digital Asset Loan Claims. Convenience claims are set to receive 120% reimbursement under the recovery plan.
Once the fourth round is complete, approximately $10 billion will have been paid out in total since distributions began in February 2025. Some creditors argue they were short-changed because reimbursements were calculated using 2022 asset values, when Bitcoin traded near $16,871 and Ether near $1,258.
Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, sentenced to 25 years following a 2023 conviction for misusing customer funds, remains incarcerated at Federal Correctional Institution Terminal Island, though a court filing suggests a transfer may occur within weeks.
