 On January 23, 2026, BitGo priced its IPO at $18 per share and sold 11.8 million shares, producing gross proceeds of about $212.4 million and implying a fully diluted valuation of roughly $2.08–$2.10 billion on approximately 115.56 million shares outstanding. The offering was led by Goldman Sachs and Citigroup and the new ticker is BTGO. The initial public float was small relative to the fully diluted share count; BTGO reached an intraday high near $24.50 and closed at $18.25, up about 2.7% from the IPO price. BitGo provides custody, qualified institutional wallets, blockchain validation, and trading services and operates as a federally chartered digital asset trust bank. Management projected revenue growth in 2025 versus 2024 and expected to report net income in 2025 after a small net loss in 2024. During the debut, Bitcoin was down about 7% for the week and trading near $89,000 (about 29% below October levels), while Ethereum and Solana declined in the low double digits; market participants cited tariff concerns and a stalled Clarity Act as sources of policy uncertainty. The underwriting and investor allocations favored long-term fundamental funds that value compliance and cash generation. Market participants identified token volatility, regulatory developments, post-IPO supply dynamics (including lockup expirations and secondary selling), and execution on client onboarding, assets under custody, and client retention as key items to monitor. The listing was the first crypto-related IPO of 2026.
