Catenaa, Thursday, January 22, 2026- Anchorage Digital, the first federally chartered digital asset bank, is reportedly seeking to raise between $200 million and $400 million ahead of a potential initial public offering targeted for next year, Bloomberg has reported .
The firm was last valued at $3 billion.
Founded in 2017 by Diogo Mónica and Nathan McCauley, Anchorage has expanded its services to include wealth management through its acquisition of Securitize For Advisors, token lifecycle management via Hedgey, and increased activity in stablecoins and venture capital.
The company is backed by investors including Apollo, Goldman Sachs, and KKR, and completed a $350 million Series D round in 2021.
Market observers have speculated on Anchorage’s IPO potential since Circle’s public offering, placing it alongside other crypto firms like BitGo, Bitpanda, Kraken, and HashKey, which are exploring public listings in their respective regions.
Anchorage’s custody services face growing competition as the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has granted conditional approvals to several digital asset firms to operate as trust banks.
Anchorage has historically declined to comment on IPO speculation, and The Block has reached out to company representatives for confirmation. Analysts note the bank’s diversified business and federally chartered status could position it favorably for a public debut, potentially expanding its access to capital and broadening market reach.
