Bitget Raises Confirmed Incident Amount to $387.5M, Withdrawal Resumption Plan Due by Sept. 26 Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said in a post that the security incident has been contained and that no further unauthorized asset transfers are possible. Bitget will announce its withdrawal resumption plan by 4:00 AM UTC on September 26.

The higher figure reflects additional Zcash and TRON assets identified during tracing and does not represent new theft. Bitget has also launched a recovery bounty program offering 5% of successfully frozen or recovered funds to eligible participants who directly contribute to those efforts.

Some public chains have frozen stolen funds, and recovery efforts are underway, though Chen does not expect a full recovery.
