BitGo Holdings priced its initial public offering on Jan. 21, 2026, and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Jan. 22 under the ticker BTGO. The offering raised $212.8 million and could renew investor interest in public listings for cryptocurrency companies.
Pricing and Listing Details
BitGo said in a press release on Jan. 21 that it priced 11,821,595 shares of Class A common stock at $18 per share, above the marketed range of $15 to $17. Of these shares, 11,026,365 were offered by the company, while 795,230 were sold by existing stockholders, from which BitGo received no proceeds. Goldman Sachs and Citigroup served as lead underwriters.
The offering raised $212.8 million and marked the first U.S. cryptocurrency company IPO of 2026. Shares began trading on the NYSE the following day.
Business Scale and Governance
The offering implied a market value of about $2.1 billion for BitGo, which provides custody and security infrastructure for digital assets. The company reported roughly $10 billion in revenue and $8.1 million in net profit for the first nine months of 2025.
Chief Executive Mike Belshe will retain approximately 56% of voting control after the IPO, maintaining strategic authority while broadening the shareholder base. The transaction may encourage other large private crypto firms to consider public listings in the U.S. despite ongoing regulatory uncertainty.
The pricing and mix of primary proceeds and secondary sales offer an early indication of investor appetite for crypto-infrastructure stocks as the industry evaluates public-market opportunities.
