Anchorage Digital Seeks $200M–$400M Funding Ahead of Possible IPO

Published at 2026-01-17 01:15:06

Anchorage Digital has begun raising between $200 million and $400 million in private funding as it gears up for a potential initial public offering next year. The move signals management’s intent to shore up capital and scale operations before testing public markets, while keeping the IPO timeline conditional on market and regulatory conditions.

For investors and institutional clients, the round could mean expanded custody capacity and product investment from Anchorage, reinforcing its role in regulated crypto infrastructure. The planned raise also serves as a market check on appetite for crypto firms ahead of listings and may reflect growing confidence among backers that regulatory clarity and institutional demand are improving.
