Mizuho cuts BitGo price target to $11 amid Clarity Act delays
The Japanese bank still rates BitGo as outperform, but legislative uncertainty and a crypto market downturn are squeezing the custodian's near-term outlook.
Mizuho Securities slashed its price target on BitGo Holdings to $11 from $14, marking the second downward revision this year for a stock that debuted at $18 per share just seven months ago. The culprit: a stalled Digital Asset Market Clarity Act and a crypto market that has not been kind to companies whose revenue depends on digital asset activity.
The bank kept its Outperform rating. Mizuho previously trimmed its target from $17 to $14 earlier this year, so the trajectory has been consistently downward since BitGo’s January 2026 IPO.
A stock that peaked fast and fell faster
BitGo went public in January 2026 at $18 per share. The stock briefly touched highs near $24.50 before declining significantly.
Mizuho described the firm as a “high-growth/recurring revenue business” and highlighted its “military-grade” custody capabilities. The firm holds over $100B in assets on its platform.
Bitcoin is currently trading roughly 50% below its all-time high. Mizuho projects a 20% decline in net revenue for BitGo between 2026 and 2027, a forecast directly tied to lower trading volumes and asset valuations across the digital asset ecosystem.
The Clarity Act problem
The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, a piece of legislation designed to give crypto firms a coherent regulatory framework in the US, has hit delays. Progress on the bill is now uncertain, with potential pushback into September 2026 or later.

Growth metrics tell a different story
The company’s customer base grew 27% year-over-year and 5% quarter-over-quarter.
Revenue growth in certain segments has been even more striking. BitGo reported a 227% increase in trailing twelve-month revenue in some business lines.
What to watch from here
The path forward for BitGo hinges on two variables that are largely outside the company’s control.
First, whether the Clarity Act progresses through Congress before the end of 2026. Continued delays mean continued uncertainty.
Second, the trajectory of Bitcoin and the broader crypto market. BitGo’s revenue is correlated with the value of assets on its platform.
Mizuho’s $11 target, while lower than previous estimates, still implies upside from where the stock is trading today. The Outperform rating is maintained despite the second consecutive price target cut in 2026.
