What BitGo does
BitGo is a digital asset infrastructure company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Sioux Falls, South Dakota (corporate) with operating hubs in Palo Alto, New York, Frankfurt, Singapore, Zurich, and Dubai. It became the first publicly traded crypto custodian on January 22, 2026, listing on the New York Stock Exchange under ticker BTGO. BitGo operates a multi-entity regulated stack anchored by BitGo Bank & Trust, National Association (OCC-chartered national trust bank since December 2025), BitGo Europe GmbH (BaFin MiCAR license for all 30 EEA countries), BitGo Singapore Pte. Ltd. (MAS Major Payment Institution), and BitGo MENA FZE (VARA Broker-Dealer in Dubai). The company serves more than 5,500 institutional clients across 100+ countries, including asset managers, ETF/ETP issuers, banks, neobanks, exchanges, trading firms, hedge funds, fintechs, brands, credit unions, protocols and foundations, stablecoin issuers, corporations, governments, and bankruptcy estates.
The product platform centers on qualified custody with multi-signature plus MPC key management, $250M insurance, SOC 1/2 Type 2 certifications, and bankruptcy-remote segregation. Layered on top are Go Network settlement (Off-Exchange Settlement and Delivery-vs-Payment), Prime Services (OTC trading, financing, collateral management, wealth management), Staking and Restaking (ETH, SOL, SUI, BTC via Babylon and Core, EIGEN via EigenLayer with curated AVS operators), DeFi access from custody via Narval and Morpho/Concrete vault strategies, Real World Assets via the BitGo Stakeholder Services LLC SEC-registered transfer agent, and a Token Management and Listing Services network spanning 120+ exchanges. A dedicated Crypto-as-a-Service (CaaS) module exposes the regulated stack via APIs to banks, fintechs, brands, and credit unions (Fold, Bielik.io, dtcpay, Moon Inc., Liquid Mercury), and Stablecoin-as-a-Service plus BitGo Mint underpin white-label issuance including the USD1 stablecoin with World Liberty Financial. Developer infrastructure includes the BitGo SDK, REST APIs, BitGo Express, the Ask AI chatbot, and an MCP server.
Revenue is generated across custody (subscription/AUM-linked), prime brokerage and trading (transaction fees), staking (usage-based yield share), Stablecoin-as-a-Service and Mint/Redeem (managed services plus reserve interest), Crypto-as-a-Service (subscription plus usage), digital asset lending and financing (usage-based), collateral management, ecosystem and listing services, transfer agent and capital formation fees (RWA), and prediction markets trading.
