BitGo generated $4.19 billion in revenue in the first six months of 2025, nearly quadrupling the $1.12 billion recorded in the same period a year earlier. <\/p>\n<p>Profitability, however, tightened: net income for the half-year fell to $12.6 million, down from $30.9 million in the first half of 2024, as rising operating costs weighed on margins.<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, BitGo reported $3.08 billion in revenue and $156.6 million in net income, with $54.1 million attributable to common stockholders.<\/p>\n<p>Based in Palo Alto, BitGo was founded in 2013 and built its reputation by offering cold storage and multi-signature wallets for exchanges, hedge funds, and banks. The firm now manages over $90 billion in cryptocurrency on its platform, from 1.14 million users.<\/p>\n<p>These figures, however, remain concentrated in mostly five cryptocurrencies. <\/p>\n<p>Per the filing: \u201cThe value of a majority of our AoP has been, and continues to be, concentrated in a few digital assets held by our clients, including Bitcoin, Sui, Solana, XRP, and Ethereum, which constitute 48.5%, 20.1%, 5.7%, 3.9%, and 3.0% of our AoP [Assets on Platform] as of June 30, 2025, respectively.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The S-1 also outlines a dual-class share structure, giving Class B shareholders, including co-founder and CEO Mike Belshe, 15 votes per share compared with one vote for Class A stock. That setup ensures Belshe will retain control after the offering, with BitGo qualifying as a \u201ccontrolled company\u201d under NYSE rules.<\/p>\n<p>BitGo said IPO proceeds would fund technology development, acquisitions, and stock-based compensation while boosting visibility and financial flexibility.<\/p>\n<p>The IPO follows public listing moves from other major companies in the cryptocurrency sector, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/business\/2025\/08\/15\/circle-to-offer-10-million-class-a-shares-at-usd130-each\">Circle<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/business\/2025\/09\/10\/winklevoss-backed-gemini-prices-ipo-at-usd28-share-values-crypto-exchange-at-more-than-usd3b\">Gemini<\/a>, and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/markets\/2025\/08\/13\/crypto-exchange-bullish-shoots-above-usd100-as-shares-debut-more-than-doubling-ipo-price\"> CoinDesk\u2019s parent company Bullish.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto custodian BitGo has filed its first public S-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), planning to list Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker BTGO.
