Mt.Gox's two largest lenders are due to receive some of their funds in September. They are Bitcoinica and MtGox Investment Funds (MGIF). They together represent about 1/5th of all Mt.Gox claims.

The collapsed exchange is willing to pay them 90% of the demanded amount, and has offered two refund options: in BTC or via bank transfer.

According to people close to the Mt.Gox case, both of these lenders have agreed to receive the payment in bitcoins.
