- BitGo’s Q2 revenue jumped 80% to $4.33 billion, driven mainly by digital-asset sales and stablecoin services, signaling strong institutional activity.
- Clients increased 26% to 5,833, while assets under management rose 31% to $65.2 billion, showing growing demand for regulated crypto custody.
- Despite higher revenue, BitGo posted a $19 million net loss, largely due to an $18.8 million unrealized loss on its digital-asset holdings.
BitGo reported an increase in revenue of 80% to $4.33 billion in the second quarter, indicating where institutional money is flowing in the global crypto market. The results of the newly listed custodian provide the market with insights into the level of demand. However, the $19 million net loss demonstrates the vulnerability of infrastructure companies involved in this industry.
For the broader market, the amount is a statistic that was previously difficult to obtain. BitGo debuted on the NYSE under the ticker BTGO in January 2026 and aimed to reach an estimated worth of approx. $1.96 billion, as indicated by a past report from Cryptopolitan. At present, BitGo’s quarterly report stands as one of the very few public indicators of the level of institutional transactions taking place via regulated crypto channels.
Where the institutional money is flowing
As per the earnings report issued by BitGo, the company’s total revenue during the quarter that ended on June 30 amounted to $4.33 billion. This means that the growth was by 79.6% in comparison with $2.41 billion achieved in the same quarter in the preceding year, and 14.7% higher than in the previous quarter. The major part of the revenue came from the sale of digital assets at nearly $4.2 billion, and the service of stablecoins also contributed to the company’s results.
The number of clients also gives a clear picture about the performance of the company’s performance. According to the information provided at the end of the quarter, the number of clients has increased to 5,833, which is 26% higher than in the preceding year. In addition, the normalized assets increased by 31% to $65.2 billion. With regard to the current discussion in the market about the commitment of institutions, the numbers indicate that the volume is increasing.
A loss the mark-to-market wrote
While BitGo’s revenue soared, it hasn’t been able to translate this figure into profits. In its SEC filing, the company reported a loss of $19 million for the quarter or $0.16 a share, compared to a net profit of $38.3 million in the same period last year. However, the losses were still smaller than at the beginning of 2025, with $60.7 million lost in Q1 alone.
The reversal of the year-over-year performance is attributable to its holdings rather than its operations. The firm showed an unrealized loss of $18.8 million related to its digital assets during the quarter; a year ago, it had reported an unrealized gain of $55.8 million. The adjusted EBITDA stood at a loss of $4.2 million against a profit of $3 million a year ago. What the market needs to remember is that a custodian holding Bitcoin on its balance sheet profits and loses along with the cryptocurrency it holds.
Why regulated custody matters to the rest of the market
BitGo’s rise came at a time when more institutions used regulation as a deciding criterion in their choice of custodian. According to a survey of 351 institutional decision-makers done by Coinbase and EY-Parthenon, which was published in January 2026, 66% cited compliance with regulation as an important aspect of a custodian choice, compared to only 25% a year ago. The same proportion of them cited security and key-signing procedures as an additional factor in the decision-making process, compared to only 8% last year.
That trend could favor firms operating under bank or trust charters. BitGo operates BitGo Bank & Trust, whose conversion to a national trust bank was conditionally approved by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in December 2025. BitGo also said it provided custody infrastructure for DTCC’s demonstration of tokenized securities after the quarter ended, pointing to another potential source of institutional demand.
Cost cuts and a CFO exit
According to Belshe, the organization “streamlined” its cost structure over the course of the quarter. In June, BitGo trimmed its workforce by 15%, and it announced an expansion of AI use in engineering and operations. Taking these initiatives into account, the company is expected to save roughly $15 million in annual cash.
The company ended the quarter with $159 million in cash, 2,523 company-owned bitcoins worth roughly $147.7 million, no corporate-level debt, and a newly authorized $50 million share buyback. One leadership change is coming: CFO Ed Reginelli, who said BitGo has “the financial flexibility to invest behind our highest-priority opportunities,” is set to step down on September 15.
