General Question (Exodus) Lost bitcoin! Please help.

Hi all,

I'm trying to regain access to my Bitcoin in my Exodus wallet.

My original computer, which had my Exodus wallet installed, broke. I restored my wallet on my laptop using my original 12-word recovery phrase. After restoring the wallet, all of my other crypto assets appeared correctly, but my Bitcoin did not.

Currently, the Bitcoin section of Exodus shows a balance of 0 BTC, also weirdly it does not display a receiving address or any transactions.

Anyone have any ideas?? What steps can I take to locate and restore access to my original Bitcoin balance? I have regained access to the original computer if that is of any help.

My wife is having a baby this year and I was relying on these funds for my paternity leave. I am very worried.

Very grateful for any help.

Worth looking at transaction history in Exodus.
If nothing there, u can visit block explorers and type in the BTC addresses to see if the funds are there or they were transferred and when.

u/Apprehensive-Mud1640 2d ago

there is no transaction history and the BTC address is blank

u/Victorio_01 2d ago

blank? Were you able to get the btc addresse(s)?

u/Apprehensive-Mud1640 2d ago

The BTC address in Exodus is blank but I can see purchase history and addresses in Coinbase.

u/Victorio_01 2d ago

Really no idea. You just restored the wallet, right?
You can’t possibly not have the btc address visible. Maybe when clicking receive.
+ I am kinda confused with the mention of Coinbase now while you couldn’t access the address.

And it can’t be the same with a Coinbase account as Coinbase is custodial. So, 2 unlinked balances.

Well it is just blank. Blank when I copy/paste it, export it, everything. We are trying everything right now to get it back that's why I was on coinbase (we originally purchased it on coinbase).

If you see the address you sent to from coinbase, check that address on blockchain explorer to make sure that there is BTC there.

So before your computer broke down, did you have your BTC on Coinbase or Exodus?

u/Apprehensive-Mud1640 2d ago

BTC was in trezor on exodus

1

u/ah-hum 2d ago

Did you re-link your Trezor? Technically the wallet is not an exodus wallet, it's a Trezor wallet viewed through Exodus. It sounds like your BTC is safe if you are not seeing an address at all, sounds like a software issue.

u/Apprehensive-Mud1640 2d ago

Ok that gives me hope! We have a Trezor One and it needs to be updated but the update isn't working. I bought a new one last night so hopefully that will work.

I had all my funds drained over 8 different coins and it was roughly 4500$ and it completely disappeared. I NEVER give out my 12 word passcode and have no idea how this happened but all I’ve gotten was jumping through hoops with exodus! I’ll very frustrated and would like to resolve the matter ASAP!!’ Please get back to me.

Were you using a pc?

u/UniversityHelpful823 2d ago

I also got drained last week. Exodus is the biggest scam.

u/ah-hum 2d ago

Do u see withdrawal transactions, or no history like there was never a balance?

u/Wise_Loquat7801 2d ago

Restore your wallet by joining another wallet other than Exodus

u/Mobile_Explorer9478 1d ago

Restore your seed phrase in a wallet like Sparrow Wallet to check your account's entire Bitcoin history.
