Approximately $900 million is set to reach FTX creditors on July 31, 2026, in the fifth distribution from FTX Trading Ltd. and the FTX Recovery Trust. On the same date, the Preferred Shareholder Remission Fund Trust will release a second payment to eligible preferred equity holders. Both timelines were confirmed in a joint announcement from Wilmington, Delaware on July 17, 2026.
The fifth distribution
July 31 is the operative date. FTX Trading Ltd., which operated the exchange under the name FTX.com, and the FTX Recovery Trust manage payouts together under the FTX name. The $900 million figure carries the qualifier "approximately," meaning the final amount has not been fixed to the dollar ahead of the transfer date.
Four prior distributions have already cleared before this round. The announcement gives no running total across all five tranches and no figure for the remaining creditor balance, so the $900 million stands on its own as the number in focus.
The preferred equity track
The Preferred Shareholder Remission Fund Trust is a separate vehicle from the main creditor pool. Its July 31 payment will be the second to eligible preferred equity holders, which means at least one prior disbursement from that trust has already settled. The source does not specify a dollar amount for this preferred equity payment.
The two concurrent July 31 payouts reflect the layered nature of the FTX recovery structure, with general creditors and preferred equity holders drawing from distinct trusts on the same date.
What to watch
The announcement, issued from Wilmington, Delaware where the FTX bankruptcy proceedings are headquartered, did not indicate a timeline for a sixth distribution or quantify what remains owed to creditors in aggregate. July 31 is the next hard date on the tape.
