Bitget Reinforces Safety with Average $578 Million Protection Fund Value in December 2025

Bitget, the world’s leading Universal Exchange (UEX), has released its December 2025 Protection Fund update, reporting an average monthly valuation of approximately $578 million, aligned with a consistent holding of 6,500 BTC throughout the month. 

During December, the Protection Fund’s valuation fluctuated in line with Bitcoin price movements, reflecting transparent, market-based asset backing rather than discretionary adjustments. The fund peaked at $608.5 million on December 3, when Bitcoin traded above $93,600, and maintained a monthly low of $555.4 million on December 18, amid broader market volatility. By month-end, the Protection Fund stood at $568.9 million, with Bitcoin closing December near $87,500.

The Protection Fund is designed to safeguard user assets during extreme market conditions, security incidents, or unexpected system risks. Bitget maintains the fund independently of user deposits, ensuring that client assets remain fully segregated while providing an additional layer of risk protection. 

Throughout December, Bitget kept its Protection Fund balance unchanged at 6,500 BTC, showing consistency in reserve management and building confidence via its protection fund for 125M users worldwide. The average daily valuation of the fund for the month was $577,936,806, reflecting Bitget’s commitment to transparency even during periods of market fluctuation. 

“Protection is not about reacting to volatility, but about being structurally prepared for it,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Maintaining a sizable, transparently valued Protection Fund is part of how we ensure users can engage with the market confidently, regardless of external conditions.” 

The December update follows a year of continued emphasis on transparency and risk management at Bitget, alongside its 175% Proof-of-Reserves ratio in the same period together with Merkle-tree verification, and regular public disclosures. Together, these measures form the foundation of Bitget’s approach to safeguarding user trust as the platform expands across crypto, onchain assets, and tokenized traditional markets. 

Bitget publishes regular updates on its Protection Fund and reserves as part of its broader transparency initiative, allowing users and partners to independently track asset backing and risk buffers in real time.
