BitGo Files for US IPO Amid Rapid Revenue Growth

  • BitGo, a crypto custody leader, has filed for an IPO in the US, aiming to list on the New York Stock Exchange with the ticker BTGO.
  • The company reported $4.19 billion in revenue for the first half of 2025, a nearly fourfold increase from the previous year, with a net income of $12.6 million. In 2024, it earned $3 billion in total revenue.
  • BitGo manages over $90.3 billion in assets, supports 1,400 digital tokens, and serves 4,600 clients along with 1.1 million users globally.

IPO Context

  • The IPO filing comes amid a resurgence in the US IPO market in 2025, driven by Federal Reserve rate cuts and renewed investor interest.
  • Goldman Sachs and Citigroup are managing BitGo's IPO, following successful listings like Circle, which rose over 360%, and Gemini, which fell by 14%.
  • CEO Michael Belshe will maintain control through a dual-class share structure, classifying BitGo as a "controlled company" on the NYSE.

Global Expansion

  • BitGo is expanding internationally, having secured a license from Germany’s BaFin to operate under the EU’s MiCA framework.
  • This expansion puts BitGo in competition with major banks like Deutsche Bank and Citigroup in the crypto custody sector.

Stablecoin Initiative

  • BitGo plans to launch a dollar-backed stablecoin that rewards liquidity providers, differentiating from current market offerings.
  • CEO Belshe criticized existing stablecoin systems as not open or fair, emphasizing the importance of user value.
  • With rising institutional demand, BitGo aims to establish itself as a leading custodian in the evolving crypto space.
