Crypto exchange Bithumb has come out on top in one of four lawsuits related to a wild incident back in February 2026, when over 620,000 BTC was accidentally distributed to users. According to Digital Asset, the court ordered the defendant to return 194 million won (about $140,500) in ill-gotten gains.

What Went Down

In February 2026, Bithumb experienced a technical glitch that ended up sending more than 620,000 BTC to its users by mistake. The fallout triggered four separate lawsuits as the exchange tried to recover the funds through legal channels.

This Lawsuit's Outcome

The court ruled that the defendant had profited unlawfully and ordered them to pay back 194 million won. That amount matches the figure reported by Digital Asset and shows how the court is approaching clawbacks for funds received due to the exchange's technical error.

Where Things Stand

Bithumb has now won one out of the four lawsuits tied to the mistaken 620,000 BTC transfer. Details about the other cases haven't been disclosed. Sources: Incrypted, Digital Asset.
