One platform. One provider. Full visibility into custody, trading, staking, settlement, and now financing.
Digital asset investors face a constant challenge: capital is tied up in assets they want to hold, not sell, and unlocking liquidity without disrupting positions can be difficult. Long-term positions provide strategic exposure. Staked assets generate rewards. Locked tokens represent future potential. Diversified portfolios can distribute risk across multiple assets. These generally aren't positions institutions want to exit but instead they want to build on them.
But when liquidity is needed, whether for trading, operations, treasury management, or growth, selling these assets often undermines the very strategies they were designed to support.
Traditional crypto lending solutions address part of this problem. Most require collateral in the form of a single asset. Others fail to recognize locked or staked positions as eligible collateral. Portfolio-level financing is often done across multiple platforms and counterparties.
BitGo was built to solve this. With new financing solutions designed around how digital assets are actually held, we're providing institutions with a way to access capital without compromising their strategy.
Borrowing Against Holdings
BitGo's financing product supports collateralized borrowing against major digital assets including BTC, ETH, SOL, and other tokens. Instead of selling positions to raise capital, institutions can quickly unlock liquidity directly from existing holdings, maintaining exposure to the underlying asset throughout.
Borrowing Against Locked and Staked Tokens
Not all assets are immediately tradable or liquid. Tokens may be locked through vesting schedule, strategic allocations, or actively staked to generate rewards and support network participation. Historically, these positions have been difficult or impossible to use as collateral.
BitGo changes that. Institutions can now borrow against locked and staked assets, unlocking liquidity without disrupting staking rewards, governance participation, or long-term allocations. Assets remain held in BitGo regulated custody, and clients maintain visibility into these assets through the platform.
Portfolio-Based Borrowing
Digital asset portfolios rarely consist of a single token. Treasuries, funds, corporations, and high-net-worth investors, may hold a mix of assets and financing structures that rely on a single asset can be inefficient and restrictive.
BitGo supports portfolio-based borrowing where institutions can borrow against a diversified set of holdings rather than a single position. Borrowing capacity reflects the overall portfolio, not the limits of any one asset. The result is greater capital efficiency and allows institutions to manage financing in a way that aligns with how their assets are actually held and managed.
Lending to Put Idle Assets to Work
Financing is more than accessing capital, it's about deploying it effectively.
Many institutions hold balances that sit idle. BitGo enables clients to lend these assets to earn competitive rates and improve overall asset utilization, with BitGo acting as the counterparty. It's a straightforward way to earn more on assets that would otherwise be dormant.
Why Institutions Choose BitGo
