Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said on X that the latest on-chain tracing shows attacker-linked addresses received about $387.5 million in assets, up from the previously disclosed $351.6 million. She said the revision came from a more complete review of transfers during the incident, with Zcash and TRON assets added to the tally, and did not reflect any newly stolen funds. Chen also said no additional unauthorized transfers have been found and that the situation remains under control. Bitget has started an asset recovery bounty program, offering 5% rewards for parties that proactively freeze attacker funds and 5% for those that help recover funds, with previously completed freezes also eligible. The exchange has opened a real-time fund tracking dashboard, an information submission portal, and an attacker address API, while also allowing tips to be submitted through Bybit’s LazarusBounty platform. Bitget added that it is working on restoring withdrawals and will publish a detailed withdrawal resumption plan before 12:00 p.m. Beijing time on Sept. 26.

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said the latest on-chain tracing confirmed that attacker-linked addresses received about $387.5 million in assets, raising the figure from the previously disclosed $351.6 million.

According to Chen, the revision came from a more detailed accounting of transfers made during the incident. The updated total now includes Zcash and TRON assets, and does not indicate that any new assets were stolen. She said no further unauthorized transfers have been detected and that the incident remains under control.

Bitget has also launched an asset recovery bounty program. The exchange said it will offer a 5% reward for proactively freezing attacker funds and a separate 5% reward for proactively helping recover funds. Asset freezes completed earlier will also be counted for rewards.

At the same time, Bitget has opened a real-time fund tracking dashboard, an information submission portal, and an attacker address API. It also supports tip submissions through Bybit’s LazarusBounty platform.

On withdrawals, Bitget said it is moving ahead with the restoration process and will announce a detailed withdrawal resumption plan before 12:00 p.m. Beijing time on Sept. 26.
