TechFlow News, February 8: According to an announcement by Bithumb, the platform has completed all remediation measures related to its prior Bitcoin misissuance incident. As of 22:42:52 on February 7, 2026, users’ Bitcoin (BTC) assets have achieved over 100% asset reconciliation. Bithumb stated that approximately 99.7% of the mistakenly issued BTC was recovered on the day of the incident; the remaining 0.3% (1,788 BTC), which had already been sold by affected users, has been fully covered using the company’s own assets, ensuring no impact on users’ assets.
The announcement states that Bithumb’s entire crypto-asset reserve—including BTC—is now fully aligned with, or exceeds, users’ total holdings. The platform has also published a detailed timeline of the incident response and announced the phased rollout of user compensation measures starting February 8, including: (1) a KRW 20,000 compensation payment to users who were online during the incident; (2) reimbursement of the price difference plus an additional 10% consolation payment for users who sold BTC at depressed prices; and (3) a 7-day period of 0% trading fees across all trading pairs, effective from February 9.
