BitGo makes share repurchase announcement

On June 17, BitGo announced that its board of directors has authorized a share repurchase program under which the company may repurchase up to $50 million of its common stock, representing around 8% of the Class A shares outstanding based on current stock prices.

The authorization is effective immediately and does not have a fixed expiration date. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, or other means.

The timing, manner, price, and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the company in its discretion.

The program doesn't obligate the company to acquire any amount of common stock, has no minimum purchase commitment, and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time without prior notice.

The company said it expects to fund repurchases using existing cash and cash equivalents and doesn't expect repurchases to affect the capital positions of its regulated subsidiaries.

BitGo CFO Ed Reginelli said, "We believe that repurchasing our shares represents an attractive use of capital at this time while allowing us to continue investing aggressively in our platform and clients.”

Following the announcement, the BitGo stock surged as high as $6.55, 20% above the last day's closing price of $5.44.

BTGO was trading at $6.18 at press time, up 13.5% in a day.
