BitGo was founded by former Google software engineers — Mike Belshe and Ben Davenport in 2013 — just four years after the first Bitcoin was minted in 2009 by its anonymous founder, popular by the pseudo name Satoshi Nakamoto. As the crypto market evolved into its present mammoth state valuing $4 trillion, the company emerged among veteran firms in the sector.
BitGo claims that it has pioneered the multi-signature wallet technology and that it presently processes eight percent of all global BTC transactions by value. According to information on its official website, it offers crypto custody services in over 90 nations.
According to data by Tracxn, the valuation of the Goldman Sachs-backed company stands at $1.75 billion after completing seven funding rounds. The firm’s assets under custody soared past $100 billion in the first half of 2025, clocking a notable rise from $60 billion at the year’s start.
Its IPO plans indicate the launch of Class A common stock which would grant voting rights to its holders. Superior voting rights in Class A common stock, however, are retained by the founders and management of the entity. Elaborate details on BitGo’s IPO remain awaited for now.
