Gate News update: On April 9, on-chain investigator ZachXBT revealed that U.S. Bitcoin ATM operator Bitcoin Depot (BTM) stated in its 8-K filing submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that the company discovered a security incident on March 23, in which about 50.9 BTC (about $3.6 million) was stolen. The investigation indicated that the incident actually occurred as early as March 20, meaning the funds were moved out and it took the company about three days to notice. Through on-chain tracking, consensus identified 19 highly credible related addresses, totaling about 54.45 BTC (about $3.7 million), which is higher than the data disclosed by the company—an approximately 3.55 BTC discrepancy, or potentially involving employees’ personal accounts. The flow of funds shows that about 54 BTC ultimately went to a certain CEX. As of now, none of the implicated addresses have been flagged by major compliance monitoring tools.
