BitGo Files for IPO, Revealing $4.2B in Revenue and $90B in Crypto Assets Under Management
In a significant move that is expected to provide insight into the financials of a major player in the digital asset market, BitGo, a leading cryptocurrency custodian, has filed for an initial public offering (IPO) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). According to the company's S-1 registration statement, BitGo plans to list its Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker BTGO.
The filing reveals that BitGo generated $4.2 billion in revenue for the first half of 2025, a significant increase from the same period last year. This growth is attributed to the company's expanding client base and increasing demand for its custodial services. Notably, BitGo manages over $90 billion in cryptocurrency assets on its platform, with a concentrated client base and a majority of assets held in a few cryptocurrencies.
According to the SEC filing, BitGo's profitability has decreased, with net income for the half-year falling to $12.6 million, down from $30.9 million in the same period a year earlier. Despite this decline, the company's revenue growth is a testament to its increasing market share and influence in the rapidly growing digital asset market.
BitGo CEO Mike Belshe commented on the IPO filing, stating that "we are excited to take this important step towards becoming a publicly traded company." He added that the listing will provide BitGo with additional capital to invest in its business and further expand its services. According to Belshe, the company's focus remains on providing secure and reliable custodial services to its clients.
Industry experts have welcomed the news of BitGo's IPO filing, citing it as a rare opportunity for investors to gain insight into the financials of a major player in the digital asset market. "BitGo's IPO will provide a unique glimpse into the operations and revenue streams of a leading cryptocurrency custodian," said Sarah Jones, an analyst at a prominent financial research firm.
The SEC has not yet commented on the filing or provided a timeline for the review process. Once approved, BitGo is expected to list its shares on the NYSE under the ticker BTGO. The listing will provide investors with a rare opportunity to participate in the growth of one of the leading players in the digital asset market.
