Description of Business Description of Business
BitGo, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed in 2011, became a wholly owned subsidiary of BitGo Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed in 2017, in connection with a series of reorganization transactions between the two entities. In 2018, BitGo, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of BitGo Holdings, Inc., and its stockholders became stockholders of BitGo Holdings, Inc. BitGo Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) provide various offerings to its clients including multi-signature (“multi-sig”) blockchain wallet solutions allowing for secure storage, trade settlement, staking solutions, and lending of digital assets. The Company also provides professional services to develop smart contracts.

Initial Public Offering — In January 2026, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”), and its Class A common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “BTGO” on January 22, 2026. The Company sold 11,026,365 shares of its Class A common stock at $18.00 per share, generating approximately $198.5 million in gross proceeds. The Company granted the underwriters a 30-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to 1,770,000 additional shares at an IPO price of $18.00 per share. The underwriters did not exercise this option. Net proceeds to the Company were approximately $174.0 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.

In connection with the IPO, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to authorize the issuance of up to 3,600,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of: (i) 3,400,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, including (a) 3,000,000,000 shares designated as Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (b) 300,000,000 shares designated as Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and (c) 100,000,000 shares of Blockchain Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share; and (ii) 200,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
Among other provisions, the amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides (i) for Class A common stock, with each share of the Class A common stock entitling its holder to one vote per share on all matters presented to the stockholders generally; (ii) for Class B common stock, with each share of Class B common stock entitling its holder to fifteen votes per share. Other than voting rights, Class A common stock and Class B common stock have identical rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights.

Upon the completion of the IPO, all shares of the Company’s then outstanding convertible preferred stock automatically converted into an aggregate of 60,778,788 shares of Class A common stock.

Risks and Uncertainties — The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other early-stage companies, including, but not limited to, a limited operating history; the potential need for additional capital or financing to fund operating losses; competition from alternative offerings and services, both from other early-stage and larger more established companies; protection of proprietary technology; and dependence on key individuals.

The limited history of digital asset markets has shown that market participants must continually adapt to technological change and to innovate new solutions in order to secure and safeguard assets. The regulatory environment for the custody of digital intangible assets is complex, evolving, and uncertain, requiring the Company to allocate resources in legal, accounting, compliance, technology, and other functions that could impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Future regulatory rules adopted domestically and internationally may impose obligations and restrictions on how the Company manages and conducts its business activities in the future.

The growth of the digital assets industry in general is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and volatility. The Company is dependent on fee-based business for a majority of its revenue that may be materially impacted by how its customers and other market participants engage in activities around transfers of digital assets. In addition, the Company holds positions in digital assets, which are subject to a high degree of uncertainty and volatility, including the ability to liquidate those positions at favorable prices, impacting the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As a digital asset custodian, the Company is responsible for the safeguarding of customer digital assets. A cybersecurity incident, or a failure to protect the Company’s computer systems, networks, and information, and clients’ information against cybersecurity threats, could result in the theft, loss, unauthorized access to, disclosure, use, or alteration of digital assets. Any such incident or failure could adversely impact the Company’s ability to conduct business and impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
While BitGo believes that its custodial arrangements, including those associated with BitGo’s custodial operations, are all permissible under existing laws and regulations, various governmental and regulatory bodies, including legislative and executive bodies, in the United States and in other countries may adopt new laws and regulations, or new interpretations of existing laws, and regulations may be issued by such bodies or the judiciary, which may adversely affect BitGo’s ability to provide custodial solutions or the Company’s use of third-party custodians.

BitGo’s technological infrastructure depends, in part, on the virtual cloud infrastructure hosted by third-party vendors. Although the Company has disaster recovery plans that utilize multiple locations, any incident affecting the third-party providers’ infrastructure could adversely affect BitGo’s cloud-native platform. A prolonged service disruption would adversely impact its ability to service the Company’s customers and could damage BitGo’s reputation with current and potential customers, expose BitGo to liability, result in substantial costs for remediation, could cause BitGo to lose customers, or otherwise harm its business, financial condition and results of operations.

The assets under custody are covered by insurance, with a $250.0 million limit, which covers digital assets in the event of theft or loss of keys. There is a risk that such insurance policy could be insufficient to cover all losses or that the Company’s insurers would seek to deny coverage for a claim, even where BitGo believes that its insurance policies cover an applicable loss.

Additionally, digital intangible asset loans extended to clients carry counterparty risk. The Company assesses such risks on each transaction including the probability that the counterparty may not fulfill its contractual obligations which may result in a default. Any contractual default by a counterparty may have a material impact on the Company’s business and impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
