Management crisis

Company Background

BitGo Holdings (NYSE: BTGO) is a digital asset infrastructure company providing custody, staking, trading, stablecoin issuance, and settlement services to institutional clients. It became the first publicly traded, federally chartered digital asset trust bank when it listed on the New York Stock Exchange on January 22, 2026, raising approximately $174 million in IPO proceeds.

Revenue has grown sharply — $16.2 billion for full-year 2025, up 424% year-over-year — but that topline figure is dominated by low-margin digital asset sales activity, and the underlying profitability picture is weaker. Adjusted EBITDA was negative in both Q1 2026 (a loss of $1.7 million) and Q2 2026 (a loss of $4.2 million), compared with gains of $3.9 million and $3.0 million in the respective prior-year periods. Net losses totaled $79.7 million through the first half of 2026. As of June 30, 2026, the company held $159 million in cash and carried no corporate-level debt.

BitGo is also in the early stages of organizational reshaping. In June it cut nearly 15% of its workforce. In August it agreed to acquire NYDIG IF Holdings for up to approximately $57.5 million in combined upfront and contingent consideration. In March its audit committee replaced Crowe LLP as independent auditor with KPMG LLP — a transition that coincided with the company's disclosure of material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting.

What Was Disclosed

Jody Mettler notified BitGo's board on September 21, 2026 that she is resigning as Chief Operating Officer, with her last day set for October 16, 2026. Management stated the decision was not the result of any disagreement with the company on any matter relating to its operations, policies, or practices. No successor has been named; the company said Mettler will assist in transitioning her responsibilities to other members of the leadership team before her departure date.
