Crypto custodian BitGo Holdings saw a sharp but short-lived rally in its public market debut on Thursday, with shares jumping as much as 36% shortly after the open before giving back most of those gains by the close.
BitGo’s Class A shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker BTGO following its $18 per-share initial public offering, which raised about $212.8 million and valued the company at more than $2 billion.
The stock quickly climbed to an intraday high of $24.50 before reversing course through the afternoon session.
BTGO finished regular trading at $18.49, up roughly 2.7% on the day, and was changing hands around $18.35 in the after-hours session, according to Google Finance, leaving the stock only modestly above its IPO price after an otherwise volatile session.

Founded in 2013, BitGo is one of the largest crypto custodians in the U.S., reporting more than $100 billion in assets on its platform. The company provides custody, wallet infrastructure, staking, and settlement services to institutional clients.
The debut marks the first major crypto-related listing of 2026 and comes as U.S. regulatory conditions show signs of stabilizing. In December, BitGo received conditional approval for a U.S. trust bank charter alongside firms including Circle and Ripple.
Custody rival Anchorage Digital, exchanges such as Kraken and Bitpanda, and several infrastructure firms are also weighing potential IPOs later this year.
