In 2017, our founders Diogo Mónica and Nathan McCauley - patent-holding, world-class security engineers - recognized a fundamental gap in the digital asset landscape. While crypto was gaining momentum, institutional participation was hampered by inadequate security and regulatory uncertainty. They saw that the future of global finance would demand superior security, oversight, and a foundation that institutions could trust. So they built Anchorage Digital.
From our origins in San Francisco, we evolved into the only federally chartered crypto bank in U.S. history, achieving this milestone in January 2021. Our vision is to be the foundation upon which value moves safely in the new global economy so that innovation can grow without bounds. Today, Anchorage Digital serves institutions worldwide through our regulated platform offering custody, staking, trading, governance, and settlement. With offices spanning San Francisco, New York, Sioux Falls, Porto, and Singapore, and backed by leading investors including Andreessen Horowitz, GIC, Goldman Sachs, KKR, and Visa at a $4.2 billion valuation, we continue to set the standard for institutional digital asset participation.
