According to sources familiar with the situation, the company is engaging with potential advisors to get ready for a public listing—a move that could represent a significant milestone for a firm that has long been associated with institutional-grade cryptocurrency security.
Established in 2013, the company is recognized for its multi-signature and threshold signature technologies. BitGo caters to over 1,500 institutional clients across 50 countries.
The firm’s offerings encompass regulated custody, trading, lending, and DeFi solutions, positioning it as a crucial infrastructure provider for the digital asset ecosystem.
Sources indicate that an IPO would not only provide liquidity to early investors but also equip the company with new capital to broaden its product range in a competitive landscape.
Optimism in the Crypto Sector
The potential public launch comes at a time of growing optimism within the crypto sector, as an increasing number of firms look forward to regulatory support for their listing ambitions.
Recent developments suggest that regulators may adopt a more favorable approach towards crypto companies, offering the kind of clarity that has been absent in recent years.

A strong debut might encourage further institutional investment, while any challenges could underscore the obstacles the industry continues to face.
