BitGo revenue doubles to $3.8B, but Q1 loss deepens
BitGo Holdings reported $3.77 billion in first-quarter revenue, up 112.6% from $1.77 billion a year earlier.
- BitGo’s Q1 revenue rose 112.6%, helped by digital asset sales and stablecoin service adoption growth.
- Net loss widened to $60.7 million as Bitcoin treasury marks and IPO compensation weighed results.
- Crypto.news coverage shows BitGo entered public markets as stablecoin and custody demand grew this year.
The result marked the crypto infrastructure firm’s first quarterly earnings update since its January public listing on the New York Stock Exchange.
The company said digital asset sales remained its main revenue driver. That unit generated about $3.66 billion in Q1, while staking revenue reached $49.4 million. Subscription and services revenue stood at $25.6 million.
Net loss widens despite revenue growth
BitGo’s net loss widened to $60.7 million in Q1, compared with a loss of $25.7 million in the same quarter last year. The company linked the wider loss to non-cash mark-to-market changes tied to its Bitcoin treasury and higher stock-based compensation after its IPO.
The firm also reported an adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.7 million, compared with a $3.9 million gain a year earlier. BitGo ended March with $186.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, plus 2,449 Bitcoin valued at about $167.1 million.
Stablecoins and derivatives add new revenue lines
BitGo said its Stablecoin-as-a-Service revenue rose 43.6% from the prior quarter to $38.2 million. The company linked the increase to client adoption, new partnerships, BitGo Mint, and related stablecoin workflows.
BitGo launched BitGo Mint in April to let institutions mint, redeem, and manage stablecoins within its platform. The product started with USD1 and SoFiUSD, both supported by BitGo’s Stablecoin-as-a-Service infrastructure.
The company also launched a derivatives offering during Q1. CFO Ed Reginelli said the product generated about $3 billion in notional trading volume during the quarter. He added that reported revenue comparisons were not directly comparable because derivatives revenue is booked on a net basis, while spot trading revenue is booked on a gross basis.
BitGo’s public-market push
Crypto.news reported in January that BitGo targeted a valuation of up to $1.96 billion before its IPO, with Goldman Sachs and Citigroup leading the offering. BitGo later priced shares at $18 and raised about $212.8 million.
Related coverage also noted that YZi Labs backed BitGo’s IPO as the custodian made its NYSE debut. The report said BitGo served more than 5,100 institutional clients across more than 100 countries at the time.
CEO Mike Belshe said “BitGo delivered strong underlying business performance in Q1 despite a challenging market environment.” He added that the company is investing in stablecoins and tokenized assets as institutional adoption continues.
