BitGo Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BTGO) has taken a strategic position in $APT, the native token of the Aptos network, according to a press release published on November 10, 2026. The digital asset infrastructure company did not disclose how large the position is.
The move builds on services BitGo already provides to institutions on Aptos. These include custody for $APT and for assets built on the Aptos Digital Asset Standard, $APT staking, and self-custody wallet connectivity to @DecibelTrade, a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on @Aptos, the release states.
Eligible clients can custody and stake $APT through @BitGo. Institutional clients using BitGo self-custody wallets can also choose to connect to Decibel through their existing wallet approval workflows.
Solomon Tesfaye, Chief Business Officer at Aptos Labs, said in the release that $APT secures the Aptos network and powers every transaction on it. He added that BitGo's position underscores its commitment to Aptos. Abel Seow, Managing Director and Head of APAC Sales at BitGo, said the firm's work with Aptos already spans custody, staking and connectivity to onchain markets.
According to Crypto Briefing, BitGo has added Aptos services in stages over nearly two years: custody first, then staking, then exchange connectivity, and now a balance-sheet position. The same report says institutional staking launched in December 2025, and that self-custody wallet connectivity to Decibel was added by September 2026.
Crypto Briefing also reported that BitGo's Aptos staking product currently pays a 2.6% reward rate, down from roughly 7% APY at launch. Rates on proof-of-stake networks change over time, so clients should check current figures directly with the provider.
The announcement does not say how or when BitGo acquired the tokens, or whether it plans to hold them long term. Without a disclosed amount, it is hard to judge the financial weight of the position for either BitGo or the Aptos ecosystem. For Aptos, the news is a sign of continued institutional infrastructure support from a qualified custodian that is listed on the NYSE.
