BitGo's Q1 revenue increased by 112.6% year-on-year, but the expansion of derivatives cannot hide the drag of asset depreciation
Digital asset infrastructure company BitGo Holdings (NYSE: BTGO) recently released its first quarterly report since going public. In the first quarter of 2026, the company reported total revenue of $3.77 billion, a year-on-year increase of 112.6%, mainly driven by the expansion of its digital asset business and growth in stablecoin-as-a-service revenue.However, GAAP net loss widened from $25.7 million in the same period last year to $60.7 million, due to a non-cash market value adjustment of approximately $53.7 million on Bitcoin holdings and increased equity incentive expenses related to the IPO. Adjusted EBITDA recorded a loss of $1.7 million, compared to a profit of $3.9 million in the same period last year.During the quarter, BitGo launched its derivatives business in January, generating approximately $3 billion in nominal trading volume. Since derivatives revenue is recognized on a net basis while spot trading is recognized on a gross basis, revenue decreased by 38.7% quarter-on-quarter. The number of customers increased by 42% year-on-year to 5,569. As of the end of the quarter, the company held 2,449 Bitcoins and $186.6 million in cash.
