BitGo, ein Treuhandunternehmen für digitale Vermögenswerte mit Sitz in Palo Alto, Kalifornien, hat eine Finanzierungsrunde der Serie C angekündigt. Laut CEO Mike Belshe umfasste die neue Runde völlig neue Investoren aus den USA und Asien. Dies bestätigt sich, kurz nachdem der Krypto-Verwahrer in einem Rechtsstreit gegen Galaxy Digital, ein Unternehmen zur Verwaltung digitaler Vermögenswerte, verloren hatte. 

Stand: 16. August Bericht from Bloomberg, BitGo is now valued at $1.75 billion after raising $100 million from unnamed investors in the Series C funding round. It is crucial to note that the funds will be utilized to make strategic acquisitions and expand the firm’s secure and regulated custody, wallet, and infrastructure solutions globally. 

Interestingly, BitGo is known for securing clients’ assets by protecting private keys, sometimes in physical vaults. It is currently the custodian for the creditors of the bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, founded by Sam Bankman-Fried, also known as SBF in the crypto sector, along with financial services firm Swan Bitcoin, blockchain developer Mysten Labs Inc., and apparel giant Nike Inc.

On the other hand, the CEO of BitGo noted that it is “definitely a rough market,” adding that his firm’s focus on gaining regulatory licenses and approvals has proved beneficial amid an uncertain time for the crypto sector in the United States. Regulators are currently involved in a debate over whether to classify digital assets as commodities or as securities, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) emphasizing the latter.

Belshe said that “regulatory safety is just on everybody’s minds right now,” while adding: 

“Not only are we seeing growing demand for regulated custody solutions in the United States, but we’re also seeing the demand on a global scale.”

While the BitGo executive refrained from revealing the names of its new investors, Belshe did reveal that some of the investors were not part of the crypto sector. More importantly, the firm’s previous investors include Goldman Sachs Group Inc., DRW Holdings, and Galaxy Digital Ventures.

Wie Bitnation zuvor berichtete, war es BitGo erwägt die Übernahme von Prime Trust hat aber eine Kehrtwende vollzogen, und letzteres hat es jetzt getan Insolvenz nach Chapter 11 beantragt.
