BitGo Buys NYDIG Trading Business to Deepen Institutional Tools
BitGo added NYDIG's institutional trading, derivatives, and client relationships in a deal that also frees NYDIG to focus on Bitcoin mining and data centers.
BITGO HOLDINGS, INC. currently carries an Alpha Score of n/a, giving AlphaScala's model a neutral read on the setup.
BitGo completed the acquisition of NYDIG's institutional trading business and related assets, adding trading and derivatives capabilities along with about 30 employees. The deal, announced on August 27, also brings NYDIG's institutional client relationships into BitGo's platform.
The acquisition strengthens BitGo's push to serve professional investors through a single regulated platform. The company already provides custody, wallets, staking, settlement, and trading. The new capabilities add derivatives, structured products, financing, and capital markets expertise.
CEO Mike Belshe said institutions increasingly want one partner that can support digital assets from custody and trading through financing and settlement. The acquired team gives BitGo an established client base and trading infrastructure without building those functions from scratch.
For NYDIG, the sale marks a sharper turn toward energy and computing infrastructure. The company is directing more resources toward power generation, Bitcoin mining, and high-performance computing data centers. In March 2025, NYDIG acquired Crusoe Energy's Bitcoin mining operations, including more than 270 megawatts of power generation technology. NYDIG says its development pipeline now exceeds 3 gigawatts, with more than 1 gigawatt expected to become available in 2027 and 2028.
CEO Tejas Shah said the sale allows NYDIG to focus on its high-performance computing data center business. NYDIG remains affiliated with Stone Ridge Holdings Group, which controls assets linked to about 3% of US natural gas production.
BitGo listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker BTGO in January. Shares rose 1.99% on Thursday and closed at $7.16 following the announcement.
