Qualified Custody

Institutional Digital Asset Custody

BitGo provides enterprise-grade qualified custody infrastructure delivering the most secure and trusted digital asset custodian services for institutions. As the original innovator for digital asset custody since 2013, BitGo became the first to commercialize multi-signature wallets and later developed advanced Threshold Signature Scheme (TSS) technology.

Security & Compliance

The custody platform offers insured, regulated, qualified custody with keys to digital assets held offline in 100% cold storage. BitGo's custody infrastructure includes $250 million in insurance coverage, unmatched in the industry, providing comprehensive protection for custodied assets. The platform delivers multi-signature and MPC (Multi-Party Computation) customizable key management solutions, ensuring maximum protection for institutional digital asset strategies.

Custody services are provided through BitGo Bank & Trust, National Association, a federally chartered digital asset bank under the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, ensuring the highest level of regulatory compliance and security standards.

Infrastructure & Scale

BitGo's qualified custody meets rigorous standards and regional requirements across North America, Europe, Middle East, North Africa, and APAC, enabling institutions to custody assets with confidence regardless of location. The platform has created 9.3 million wallets, supports 1,550+ assets, and has processed $3 trillion in lifetime transactions.

Cold Storage Technology

The custody wallet offering is designed specifically for institutional needs, combining security, compliance, and scalability. Cold wallets provide the highest level of security for long-term digital asset storage through completely offline, air-gapped infrastructure, keeping private keys isolated from any network connection and eliminating exposure to online threats.

The cold storage infrastructure utilizes multi-signature technology and geographically distributed key management to ensure that assets remain secure even in offline environments. BitGo's cold wallets support a wide range of digital assets and provide institutions with the ability to maintain large-scale holdings in secure, auditable storage.

Integration & Capabilities

As part of BitGo's comprehensive digital asset infrastructure, custody wallets integrate seamlessly with the company's other services including trading, staking, financing, and settlement. This unified platform approach enables institutions to mobilize assets in real-time while maintaining the highest security standards.
