So how much will we receive?
20% of the bitcoin lost?
Maybe less considering that the price of bitcoins has increased? (so the ones who had money will get more)

If your claim is accepted, then you now know the amount in JPY you will be handed. For bitcoin there was a fixed price for it when this is officially announced (and the pdf was out); IIRC roughly 50500 JPY per bitcoin. So if we want to make the assumption that our claims will be delivered according to this, you will have to divide that amount with bitcoin's current value to come up with the bitcoins you will end up with.

In the last bankruptcy meeting, the trustee indicated that he might distribute Bitcoin as Bitcoin. Japan recently passed a law that recognized Bitcoin as a currency, so I think it is more likely.

Also, they are still investigating whether or not Bitcoin is missing, how much is missing, and the whereabouts of any such missing Bitcoin. There are lots of rumors that only 20% will be found, but I have faith that with all those international safety and security agencies involved that we should see near 100% recovery. They've had lots of time to sort everything out.

100% back? lol There is no incentive whatsoever for the authorities to recover the funds. The Silk Road case has shown us that even when they do their own agents are often as light-fingered as common thieves/scammers. 20~25% return tops methinks

Investigation is on going, ad it seems that the Trustee and team has done a tremendous amount of work. They've identified and publicly expressed which claims are acceptable and which are not. That in itself shows they are doing the research. It seems most people have had their claims accepted, except for a number of people that deposited funds via Poland. There are numerous ongoing lawsuits, some of which are not related to bankruptcy, but claims prior. Mark Karpeles, the primary exchange owner and the man with more insight than anyone, had some sort of gag order put on him. When he wrote a blog about his suspicions, head tossed in prison. There are still ongoing events tied to Silk Road, and possibly involving Craig Wright. Who is Variety Jones?

I agree, there is no incentive for the authorities that you speak of to recover the funds, but that doesn't mean there is no incentive for any authorities. This was one of the largest thefts of a financial institution in history. Not only that, but if Bitcoin grows and becomes as widely used as most people on this board are working towards and expect, this theft will be of historic proportions. And it is all recorded history.

So, yeah, I believe there is incentive to get this right.
