Cryptocurrency custody company BitGo has acquired HeightZero, a software platform designed for wealth managers to integrate cryptocurrencies and digital assets into their clients' portfolios. While the financial details of the transaction have not been disclosed, this move highlights BitGo's ambition to expand its presence in the cryptocurrency space.
BitGo CEO Mike Belshe stated, “We have been proud to work with HeightZero over the past few years and become part of its continued growth. This acquisition is a doubling down by BitGo, HeightZero, and our clients in this space. We look forward to maintaining HeightZero's leading position while enhancing the security, assurance, and functionality of our joint products.”
BitGo Strengthens Wealth Management Solutions
HeightZero offers a suite of software tools designed specifically for wealth managers to incorporate cryptocurrencies into their clients' portfolios. This includes services such as portfolio rebalancing, report generation, tax loss harvesting, and automated billing for cryptocurrency investments. It's worth noting that HeightZero had been using BitGo's custody solutions before officially becoming part of BitGo.
The acquisition of HeightZero signifies BitGo's commitment to providing a comprehensive solution for wealth managers looking to explore the cryptocurrency space. The company aims to empower wealth managers, giving them the confidence to embrace cryptocurrencies and seize the opportunities they present.
BitGo's Strategic Expansion
Recently, BitGo secured $100 million in funding, boosting its valuation to $1.75 billion. Furthermore, BitGo partnered with KEB Hana Bank, one of South Korea's largest financial institutions, in September. The primary goal of this collaboration is to jointly establish digital asset custody services in South Korea.
In June, despite having reached a preliminary agreement, BitGo abandoned its previous plan to acquire Prime Trust. BitGo announced this decision on Twitter, stating, “This decision wasn't made lightly, and BitGo remains committed to our mission of trust in digital assets.”
Subsequently, Prime Trust filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in August. This move marks the latest chapter in the challenging journey of the fintech company, which faced various obstacles over the past year, from regulatory issues to the collapse of acquisition agreements.
