According to a report by TechFlow TechFlow on February 8th, Bithumb announced that it has completed all handling of the previous Bitcoin mis-issuance incident and confirmed that as of 22:42:52 on February 7th, 2026, users' Bitcoin (BTC) assets have achieved over 100% asset integrity. Bithumb stated that approximately 99.7% of the mistakenly issued Bitcoins were recovered on the day of the incident, and the remaining 0.3% (1788 BTC) that had been sold has been replenished with the company's own assets, ensuring that users' assets are not affected.
The announcement indicates that Bithumb's current reserves of all crypto assets, including BTC, are exactly the same as or higher than the user's total holdings. The platform also released a timeline for handling the incident and announced that it will begin phased user compensation measures starting February 8th. These measures include issuing 20,000 Korean won in compensation to users online during the incident, refunding the price difference to users who sold at a lower price and paying an additional 10% consolation money, and offering a 0% transaction fee discount on all cryptocurrencies for 7 days starting February 9th.
