Anchorage Digital, a New York-based crypto bank, is set to raise new capital as it prepares to enter the public markets. According to Bloomberg, people familiar with the matter say the company is seeking between $200 million and $400 million in new financing.
Anchorage seeks major funding
Reports indicate that the company is considering a fundraising of $200 million to $400 million to strengthen its business ahead of a possible public listing. The plan would place Anchorage among a small group of crypto-native companies that have attempted to go public after creating regulated services for institutions.
The company’s banking subsidiary holds a federal charter, a status that gives it a different basis than many crypto companies. This federal support is often cited by investors as a reason Anchorage can offer child care and other services considered safer by larger customers.
According to reports, Anchorage last raised capital in a previous round that valued the company at more than $3 billion, and the new funding is seen as a path toward a public IPO.

Regulatory advantage and product push
Some reports indicate that the bank is also developing teams related to work on stablecoins and exploring partnerships that would expand its product range for large clients. These measures appear aimed at making the company more attractive to public investors.
Market watchers note that crypto companies are considering listing on exchanges more often as regulation becomes clearer in certain areas and institutional demand for regulated custody and rails increases.

Anchorage’s timing comes as other custody and asset firms are considering similar moves, a trend that could reshape how large investors access crypto services. The mood is cautious, but there is clear interest among regulated players.
Market Reaction and IPO Timing
According to market discussions, the bank could apply for a listing as early as next year, although some media reports indicate that 2027 is also possible. Sources cited by Bloomberg gave several potential dates, and Anchorage has not provided public comment on the plans.
If Anchorage pulls off a capital raise and goes public, the event would demonstrate confidence in companies that combine crypto services with bank-style oversight.
Investors will be watching how the company uses profits – whether to create new products, hire staff or improve its balance sheet before the scrutiny that comes with public ownership. The coming months are expected to reveal more details as investor negotiations and subscriptions progress.
