BitGo

BitGo started in 2013 as a multisignature Bitcoin vault, which splits private key control so that no single key can move funds alone. Over time, BitGo expanded its core wallet technology into a full suite of services, including hot and cold custody, staking, trading, and settlement tools for both institutional clients and advanced retail users.

Financial institutions use it to store large token reserves, set policy controls, manage multi-approver workflows, and maintain audit trails that meet regulatory standards. Crypto exchanges, asset managers, and corporate treasuries use BitGo’s services to connect custody with trading, lending, or settlement. The multisig and custody setup also works well for DAO treasuries and organizations that need clear separation of duties for compliance.

BitGo has grown quickly in recent years, bringing the company closer to entering public markets. In January 2026, it filed for a U.S. IPO, aiming for a valuation in the low billions and highlighting strong revenue growth and profits in its filings. This growth followed a 2023 Series C round that valued BitGo at about $1.75 billion, during a time when assets on the platform rose to tens of billions as more institutions adopted its custody services.

Over the years, BitGo has attracted major financial and crypto-focused investors. Early funding rounds included Goldman Sachs, Galaxy Digital, and trading firm DRW. The 2023 Series C brought in new investors from the U.S. and Asia, raising the company’s valuation. This mix of traditional finance and crypto funds has helped BitGo grow its institutional partnerships and develop new products.

In its early funding rounds, BitGo issued equity at a fixed valuation, often accompanied by contractual rights to future token allocations if the platform were to launch a native cryptocurrency. Depending on the agreement, these rights may provide a defined share of the future token supply, token allocations with value parity to equity, or tokens issued at a preferential discount. For institutional investors, this structure creates dual exposure to both company growth and potential network-level upside.

BitGo’s future token rights are not listed on public crypto exchanges. Instead, they trade privately through over-the-counter (OTC) markets. Acquire.Fi operates a secure, institutional-grade OTC and secondaries marketplace where approved buyers can access BitGo equity and equity-linked token rights from team members and early investors.

Buy-side participants can review active listings aligned with their investment objectives or submit a customized Buy offer specifying target valuation, minimum investment size, and preferred exposure to equity and/or token rights. This flexibility allows institutions to structure transactions that align with portfolio strategy, risk tolerance, and internal compliance requirements.

For equity and token holders, the same marketplace enables discreet liquidity. Sellers can create a tailored listing or evaluate inbound offers from vetted institutional buyers, facilitating private exits without public market visibility or impact.

Across both buy-side and sell-side transactions, Acquire.Fi supports the full OTC lifecycle. Our team vets counterparties, coordinates introductions, assists with legal and compliance workflows, and facilitates settlement to ensure each transaction is executed securely.
