Cryptocurrency exchange Bitget said in a Friday (Sept. 25) post on X that assets equivalent to about $387.5 million were stolen in an attack the company announced Thursday (Sept. 24).

In its earlier report, in a Thursday post on X, Bitget said it estimated that about $351.6 million in assets were stolen.

“The revised figure reflects a more complete accounting of transfers that occurred during the incident, adding affected assets on Zcash and TRON that were not included in the initial estimate,” Bitget said in its Friday post. “It does not reflect further unauthorized transfers. The incident remains contained and no further unauthorized transfers are possible.”

Bitget said in its Thursday post that its security systems identified unauthorized transfers involving a limited number of hot wallets, its security team activated emergency response procedures and began a full investigation, and it suspended withdrawals while its teams complete a comprehensive security review.

“Most importantly, user funds remain protected,” Bitget said in its Thursday post. “The incident falls within the coverage of Bitget’s User Protection Fund, which currently holds more than $464 million. Customer account balances remain accurate, and deposits and trading continue to operate normally.”

In its Friday update, Bitget said it will announce a withdrawal plan Saturday (Sept. 26) at 4 a.m. UTC.

The company said that the investigation remains ongoing and that the figures it released may change as it classifies and traces more transactions.

“Withdrawals remain temporarily paused while additional security checks and remediation are underway,” Bitget said in the update.
