Through the security breach, approximately 119,756 bitcoins — which is worth approximately $70.5 million — were stolen.
“Due to the indiscriminate nature of the attack, we have decided to generalize losses across all accounts,” the company said in a statement. “Upon logging into the platform, customers will see that they have experience a generalized loss percentage of 36.067 percent. In a later announcement we will explain in full detail the methodology used to compute these losses.”
Bitfinex will give each account a digital token that will show exactly how much the account holder lost. At a future date, customers will be able to redeem the tokens or exchange them for shares in iFinex, Bitfinex’s parent company, according to CNBC.
