🤖 BitGo Cuts 15% of Staff to Prioritise AI, Stablecoins and Payments
Crypto custody and infrastructure provider BitGo has announced a workforce reduction of nearly 15% as part of a broader strategic restructuring.
According to CEO Mike Belshe, the company will focus future investments on:
• Security
• Trading
• Stablecoins
• Payment & settlement infrastructure
• Artificial intelligence
• Revenue increased 112.6% YoY to approximately $3.8 billion following the company’s IPO.
• Net loss widened from $25.7 million to $60.7 million, mainly due to Bitcoin mark-to-market accounting and higher stock-based compensation expenses.
BitGo says the layoffs are part of a one-time restructuring, and no additional workforce reductions are currently planned.
The announcement follows similar AI-focused restructurings across the crypto industry, with companies such as Coinbase, Dune, and Block also reducing staff while increasing investment in AI-driven products and infrastructure.
