BitGo (NYSE: BTGO) is the digital asset infrastructure company providing the foundation for the digital asset economy. Founded in 2013 by technologist Mike Belshe, the company was established on the conviction that digital assets would redefine the global financial system. BitGo became the first to commercialize multi-signature wallets and later developed advanced Threshold Signature Scheme (TSS) technology to set the industry standard for digital asset security. Today, the company delivers a comprehensive suite of services transforming how institutional capital is managed and deployed. From regulated custody, wallets, staking, trading, OTC services, financing, and settlement, BitGo unifies these services within a single, secure environment and enables the real-time mobilization of assets, reducing the friction and risk inherent in legacy financial rails. This infrastructure is underpinned by a global footprint of regulated entities and anchored by BitGo Bank & Trust, National Association, a federally chartered digital asset bank under the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The company's mission is to accelerate the transition of the existing financial system to a digital asset economy through a commitment to transparency, monetary freedom, and borderless, 24/7 markets. BitGo serves as the operational backbone for thousands of institutional clients, including the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges and regulated platforms.
