BitGo, a US provider of crypto wallets and custody services, filed for an IPO in the United States on Monday and aims to raise up to 200 million dollars. According to Decrypt, this would correspond to a company valuation of nearly two billion dollars. The California-based company intends, according to the filing, to offer approximately 11.8 million Class A common shares at a price of 15 to 17 dollars per share. The shares are expected to list on January 21 on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol BTGO.

IPO as Part of Transparency Strategy

“Since our founding, BitGo has been nothing but transparent. All of our roles – as a software provider, regulated custodian, and financial services provider – require us to be completely open about how our technology and processes work, as well as about audits, certifications, and more,” wrote Mike Belshe, co-founder and CEO of BitGo, in a letter attached to the filing. The transition to public markets is merely the next stage of this transparency.

The company first hinted at a possible IPO in July. Following the successful public debut of USDC stablecoin issuer Circle, BitGo confidentially filed an application with the SEC. The crypto firm provides infrastructure services for stablecoins, token management, trading, staking, and custody solutions. According to its website, it now manages assets worth more than 104 billion dollars.

BitGo Licensed in the EU

According to the filing, the majority of revenue comes from the sale of digital assets, staking, and subscriptions. For 2025, the company conservatively estimates it will generate approximately 15.4 billion dollars in revenue from the sale of digital assets. In the previous year, it was around 2.5 billion dollars.

The company recorded a decline in staking revenue of approximately 82 million dollars. However, it generated more than 60 million dollars in new subscription revenue in the past year. By the end of September, it had achieved a net profit of approximately 35 million US dollars. BitGo has recently also expanded into the European market. Last year, the company received approval from the German financial regulator (BaFIN) to expand its digital asset offerings to all 27 EU member states.
