BITGO HOLDINGS, INC. 8-K

What Happened
BitGo Holdings, Inc. announced on its Form 8‑K that its Audit Committee dismissed Crowe LLP as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm on March 31, 2026, and approved engagement of KPMG LLP as the new independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. Crowe’s audit reports for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were unmodified (no adverse opinion or disclaimer). The company filed the 8‑K on April 6, 2026.

Key Details

• Dismissal and engagement dates: Crowe dismissed and KPMG engaged by the Audit Committee on March 31, 2026.
• Prior audit reports: Crowe’s audits for years ended Dec 31, 2025 and Dec 31, 2024 contained no qualifications or disclaimers.
• Disagreements/reportable events: No disagreements or reportable events with Crowe during FY2024, FY2025, or through March 31, 2026, except the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting disclosed in BitGo’s Form 10‑K for year ended Dec 31, 2025 (filed March 27, 2026).
• Crowe letter: Crowe furnished a letter to the SEC agreeing with the company’s statements (filed as Exhibit 16.1).
• Pre-engagement consultations: BitGo and its representatives did not consult KPMG on accounting or audit matters during the two most recent fiscal years or the interim period through March 31, 2026.

Why It Matters
A change in independent auditor is material because it affects who examines and signs off on the company’s financial statements. Investors should note that Crowe’s prior audit opinions were unmodified, but the company disclosed material weaknesses in internal control in its recent 10‑K. The new engagement of KPMG signals an audit firm transition for 2026; investors may watch for any related disclosures, audit findings, or potential impacts on financial reporting and controls in future filings.
