BitGo Holdings, a well-known digital asset custody firm, has taken a significant step toward becoming a publicly listed company. The company has submitted a confidential draft registration statement (Form S-1) to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). BitGo Takes A Confident Step Toward the Public Market The filing officially starts the process for BitGo to sell its Class A common stock to the public through an IPO (Initial Public Offering), possibly. BitGo’s IPO plan is still in the early stages. Notably, the company keeps specific details private while the SEC reviews the application. So far, BitGo has not shared how many shares it will offer or at what price. According to the filing, BitGo confirmed that the IPO will only occur after the SEC completes its review and if market conditions are favorable. It is worth noting that this move is an essential step for the California-based company. The decision also comes as the rules for crypto in the U.S. are getting clearer, and more institutions are showing interest in it. Interestingly, BitGo is not alone. The company’s filing follows a similar one from Grayscale Investments and crypto exchange Bullish. Grayscale’s confidential IPO filing came shortly after the company received approval to convert its Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC) into an exchange-traded fund (ETF). Other cryptocurrency firms, such as Kraken, Gemini, and OKX, are also preparing to go public . Crypto Week Brings Regulatory Focus BitGo’s IPO news comes a few days after Crypto Week ended in Washington. During this time, the U.S. House of Representatives came together to review and vote on several bills related to cryptocurrencies. These talks cover stablecoins, market structure, and the broader role of crypto in the U.S. financial system. The talk is also expected to shape the future of the crypto industry. Furthermore, the talk may also affect how firms like BitGo approach compliance and future growth. BitGo’s decision to move forward with an IPO during this time shows confidence in its long-term plans, even as regularity questions remain. By listing on public markets, the company aimed to raise capital, expand its business, and provide more opportunities for investors to access digital assets. BitGo Secures MiCA License Recall that BitGo has officially received its Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin). The announcement made on May 12 marked a major regulatory win for the California-based crypto custody firm, which has been steadily expanding its footprint across Europe. With the MiCA license, BitGo is now authorized to provide digital asset services to clients throughout the EU. The company emphasized that this move is part of a broader mission to raise the bar for transparency, trust, and security in the digital finance space.
