Bithumb Recovers Nearly All Bitcoin After Airdrop Error

Bithumb has successfully recovered 99.7% of the Bitcoin mistakenly distributed during a promotional airdrop error on February 6th. The error occurred when Bitcoin was sent instead of small amounts of Korean Won. The exchange quickly froze affected accounts and used its own funds to cover the remaining losses after some recipients sold the assets. This caused a brief, localized price shock on its platform, but the incident did not affect broader crypto markets. Bithumb is compensating affected users and has established an internal task force to improve operations and prevent future errors. The event highlights the operational risks in centralized exchanges, even without security breaches.

Epic Blunder: South Korean Exchange "Slip-up" Sends Out $44 Billion in Error

In a major operational error, South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb mistakenly distributed Bitcoin worth over $44 billion to users, causing a sharp drop in the platform’s Bitcoin price and triggering a regulatory review. The incident occurred when Bithumb intended to issue a promotional cash payment of 2,000 won (approx. $1.4) per user. Due to a system error, 695 users each received at least 2,000 Bitcoin instead. The exchange restricted trading and withdrawals within 35 minutes and has since recovered 99.7% of the wrongly distributed Bitcoin. As a result, Bitcoin prices on Bithumb temporarily plunged by 17% before partially recovering. South Korea’s Financial Services Commission described the incident as exposing "the vulnerability and risks of virtual assets" and announced plans to examine internal controls and operations at Bithumb and other exchanges. If violations are found, on-site inspections will follow. Bithumb attributed the mistake to an internal operational error and emphasized that it was not caused by external hacking or security breaches. Approximately 0.3% of the Bitcoin, worth around $132 million, remains unrecovered. The error occurred when the system incorrectly substituted "Bitcoin" for "Korean won," amplifying the reward amount by billions of times. As South Korea’s second-largest crypto exchange, Bithumb’s incident may lead to stricter industry-wide risk management and technical reliability standards.

Bithumb Issues Statement Over Reward Payment Error – Details

South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb has addressed a significant internal error that resulted in the accidental distribution of 620,000 BTC (worth billions) to 695 users during a promotional event, instead of the intended 2,000 KRW reward. The mistake caused a flash crash of approximately 10% on the exchange as some recipients immediately sold the Bitcoin. Bithumb responded by freezing affected accounts within 35 minutes and has since recovered 99.7% of the overpaid BTC. The exchange confirmed the incident was an operational error, not a security breach, and assured users that all customer assets remain safe. The broader crypto market is also noted to have recovered slightly, with its total capitalization rising to $2.34 trillion.

Bithumb’s Bitcoin glitch explained: balance error, forced selling, and a contained flash crash

On February 6, a system error at South Korea's Bithumb exchange caused a localized Bitcoin flash crash. Approximately 2,000 BTC was mistakenly credited to hundreds of user accounts during an internal process. While users could not withdraw the erroneously credited funds due to insufficient reserves, many quickly sold the Bitcoin on the exchange. This resulted in over 500 BTC being dumped into Bithumb's order books within minutes, overwhelming local liquidity and causing Bitcoin's price to drop over 17% to around ₩81.5 million before partially rebounding. The incident was confined to Bithumb, with global Bitcoin markets remaining stable. The exchange suspended deposits and withdrawals and initiated a system review. On-chain data showed significant outflows from Bithumb but no broader market impact, confirming the event was an internal operational failure rather than a systemic market crisis.
