On its third quarter of 2026 earnings call, held on Nov. 9, 2026, Bitgo (NYSE:BTGO) announced total revenue of $2.9 billion as digital asset trading activity softened. Institutional adoption of regulated digital asset infrastructure remains central to its business model as clients demand proper market structure. Three things management said stand out.

1. Off-Exchange Settlement Protects Client Capital During Active Trading

Traditional financial markets separate execution venues from asset storage to limit counterparty risk. Bitgo addresses this through Off-Exchange Settlement (OES), which lets clients trade on external venues while maintaining assets in regulated custody.

OES lets you allocate assets for trading on an exchange while keeping your funds safe in BitGo, a regulated fiduciary and national trust bank.
-- Michael Belshe, Co-Founder and CEO

2. Strategic Acquisition Expands Institutional Derivatives and Financing Offerings

Bitgo completed the acquisition of the New York Digital Investment Group (NYDIG) institutional trading business on August 27, launching Bitgo Global Markets to broaden its financial services. The deal adds structured products, financing options, and derivative capabilities for institutional clients.

We completed the acquisition on August 27 and have since launched BitGo Global Markets, adding expertise in derivatives, structured products and financing, along with established institutional client relationships.
-- Michael Belshe, Co-Founder and CEO

3. On-Chain Tokenized Equities Create New Collateral Opportunities

The company is developing goStocks, a platform designed to bring traditional stock ownership onto the blockchain. Storing equity holdings in qualified custody allows institutional clients to use those positions as collateral for financing.

goStocks will initially be held in qualified custody at BitGo Bank & Trust. Holding equity positions on-chain in regulated custody can make them easier to settle and to use as collateral, starting with financing through BitGo.
-- Chen Fang, Chief Revenue Officer

Looking Ahead

Institutional participation drives platform maturation as digital asset infrastructure evolves to match traditional financial standards.

We believe we are still in the early stages of institutional adoption and the development of market structure needed to support a mature digital asset economy.
-- Michael Belshe, Co-Founder and CEO

Bitgo leverages regulated custody and security protocols to capture institutional demand as traditional and digital markets converge.

With our expanded institutional financial services capabilities following the NYDIG acquisition and initiatives such as the Go network and goStocks, we believe BitGo is well positioned to win a growing share of the digital asset market as it continues to advance.
-- Michael Belshe, Co-Founder and CEO

Gold hit a one-year low while central banks bought 321 tonnes — the sellers were never the ones you thinkSpot gold closed at 3,876 on Thursday, down 2.8% and its lowest close in more than a year, with an intraday low near 3,852. The dollar is at a 19-month high of 103.21 and the 10-year yield is at 5.10%, so the price move is easy to explain. What is harder to explain is who sold: central banks bought 321 tonnes in Q3, the PBoC added for a 24th straight month, ETF holdings are near a record 4,256 tonnes, and roughly 95% of the futures selling came from non-reportable and sovereign-type accounts rather than hedge funds. This piece separates the two books that have to balance.
