BitGo announced today $100M Series C financing from new, outside strategic investors with a valuation of $1.75B. The funds will be deployed to make strategic acquisitions and expand its secure and regulated custody, wallet, and infrastructure solutions globally.

Since January 2023, BitGo has seen a 60% increase in newly onboarded clients, 20% increase in AUC, 200% increase in fiat custody, and 40x growth in staked assets. BitGo is also the custody provider for the FTX creditors funds under John Ray III’s leadership and had been previously chosen as the distributor for Mt. Gox creditors.

CEO Mike Belshe shared, “Not only are we seeing growing demand for regulated custody solutions in the US, but we’re also seeing the demand on a global scale. We are very pleased to announce our $100M Series C for the purpose of meeting this growing need and to provide institutions, brands, coin foundations, and others with secure and seamless participation in the digital asset ecosystem.”

The announcement of this funding round follows BitGo’s launch of Go Network, which enables institutions to trade and settle both digital assets and fiat 24/7 from secure custody.
