Anchorage Digital, a New York-based crypto bank, is taking steps to raise fresh capital as it prepares to enter the public markets. According BloombergPeople familiar with the matter say the company is looking to raise between $200 million and $400 million in new financing.
Anchorage seeks major funding
Reports say the company is exploring a round of between $200 million and $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 list on stock markets after creating regulated services for institutions.
The company’s banking subsidiary has a federal charter, a status that gives it a different footing compared to many crypto companies. Investors often cite that federal backing as one reason Anchorage can offer custody and other services that large clients consider more secure.
Anchorage reportedly last raised capital in a previous round that valued the business at more than $3 billion, and the new funding is seen as a hint toward a public debut.

Anchorage’s timing comes as other custody and asset companies weigh similar measures, a trend that could reshape the way big investors access crypto services. The mood is cautious, but there is clear interest in regulated players.

If Anchorage completes a successful raise and goes public, the event would signal confidence in companies that combine crypto services with banking-style supervision.
Investors will be watching how the company uses the proceeds, whether to create new products, hire staff or improve its balance sheet before the scrutiny that comes with public ownership. More details are likely to be revealed in the coming months as underwriting and investor discussions progress.
