History and Evolution

It started as a provider of secure Bitcoin wallets and public storage solutions, with emphasis many signatures technology and business security at a time when popular options were available for larger products.
Over a decade, the company has grown to become one of the most recognized names in digital finance, wallets, storage, trading, and operations across multiple platforms, currencies, and institutions in the Bitcoin and crypto industry.
Current Affairs and Standing Orders
Today, BitGo works as a regular service provider. It works like BitGo Bank & Trust, National Associationa federally chartered national trust bank under Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). This designation, which was approved in December 2025, sets the government’s priorities – including economic growth, regular monitoring, risk management, and quality control – while offering many benefits.
The OCC charter provides uniform Federal supervision and clear rulesinstead of shared certificates of government it usually gives organizations the assurance they expect from a government regulatory agency. It helps international services and federal protection of other state requirements.
Nick Payton, VP of Marketing at BitGo, told Bitcoin Magazine that the OCC’s federal charter, along with being a public company, opens up the rules to be clearly desired by corporate clients. “We spent the money and made sure our customers were satisfied.” Payton also described the OCC federal charter as a moat that the program alone cannot easily open, even with the power of artificial intelligence.
Finally, the OCC federal federation and the promotion of the company’s ability to increase services such as stablecoin construction, staking from cold hands, prime trading and derivatives, and the use of tokenization under a better federal framework, BitGo’s position as a key bridge between traditional banking and digital economy.
Its clients are regular, including exchanges, funds, and Bitcoin ETF providers. Common examples include 21 Sections (maintenance of Bitcoin ETFs), Fold it (which relies on BitGo infrastructure for large transactions), World Liberty Financial (backed by USD1 stablecoin infrastructure), and SoFi (supports the construction and distribution of SoFiUSD, which is the first stablecoin issued by a US bank on a public blockchain).
Valuers also use the platform for qualifying bookings, cold storage, and Prime services. While other trading-facing tools are available through the broader platform, BitGo has been deliberately targeting sophisticated and sophisticated customers rather than being a mass trading platform.
Prime Services and Global Footprint
BitGo has expanded its services Prime desk including OTC trading, electronic trading, and derivatives, which have recently come online. This allows customers to access funds, process, and manage collateral directly from the right hands. The service supports operational requirements such as loans against Bitcoin Holdings or generating revenue without moving assets on the platform.
The company operates worldwide in more than 100 countries. They keep agency-controlled licenses in key sectorsincluding a VARA license in Dubaioffice in London, the Latin American capital in Mexico City, and the APAC center in Singapore, according to Payton.
Money Managers
Payton also explained the company’s current revenue, which is made up of fees, the company’s bread and butter, plus other growing investments such as BitGo Prime, including OTC, e-trading, and other new offerings.
The boom in cryptocurrencies also made a short list of the company’s top drivers, allowing customers to earn yields on assets like Ethereum and Solana while keeping them captive. Finally, Stablecoins have become the fastest growing part of corporate finance through their Stablecoin-as-a-Service platform, which manages minting, burning, and storage. Recent examples include the support of World Liberty Financial’s USD1, which Payton described as one of the fastest growing stablecoins, approaching mass circulation, and SoFiUSD’s SoFiUSD with an initial coin of $150 million and plans to expand.
Payton also shared that “Bitcoin has been driving the biggest volume on BitGo. But Ethereum, Solana, and stablecoins are also popular.” He added: “One big fact that we haven’t talked about publicly is that we are one of the 10 largest Bitcoin holdings in the world, with more than 470k BTC in custody,” making Bitgo one of the largest Bitcoin custodians in the world. For his corporate wealth, BitGo Holdings, holds approximately 2,449 BTC As of the most recent disclosure, this places BitGo as the 32nd largest in the world.
Outlook on Tokenization
In terms of areas of focus, Payton expressed a clear interest in “tokenization,” a term that many people have heard even if it is not known in the market. He positioned it as a visual representation of the traditional — mostly public and private — aspects of blockchain architecture.
“We are excited about the future of tokenization. We think it will bring more access to the public markets. We are also looking to invest in private, social, and not public companies.” Payton said, warning that “it has to be done carefully. And safely. We don’t want it to turn into a bubble. It has to be done carefully.”
