Tax implications of Mt. Gox bankruptcy payout - stolen crypto from 2014

In 2024 I received a lump sum distribution from the Mt. Gox bankruptcy proceedings for Bitcoin that was stolen when the exchange collapsed in 2014. I then sold some but not all of this later in 2024. I'm confused about how to properly report this on my Canadian tax return. Is receiving the payout a taxable capital gains event and I report the entire amount? Or should I just report the amount that I've sold as capital gains since receiving it?

Thanks
