Why Bit Digital partnered with Figment

The decision reflects Bit Digital’s focus on scale, security, and compliance in staking operations. Figment, which manages $17 billion in Assets Under Stake for over 1,000 institutional clients, offers audited, institutional-grade infrastructure with global coverage. The company is backed by investors including Thoma Bravo, Morgan Stanley’s Counterpoint Global, Franklin Templeton, and Fidelity’s Avon Ventures, reinforcing its position as one of the leading staking providers worldwide.

Bit Digital emphasized Figment’s non-custodial design, which allows institutions to retain full control of assets while benefiting from enterprise-grade staking infrastructure. This approach separates custody and staking responsibilities, reduces counterparty risks, and ensures compliance with fiduciary obligations.

Compliance, security, and institutional standards

As a Nasdaq-listed firm operating under SEC oversight, Bit Digital requires providers that meet stringent compliance frameworks. Figment brings a robust security backbone with SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications, and exclusively operates OFAC-compliant relays to mitigate regulatory risks.

Sam Tabar, CEO of Bit Digital, said the partnership supports the company’s vision to “build the largest institutional ETH treasury while delivering secure, scalable yields.” Figment CEO and Co-Founder Lorien Gabel added that the collaboration was designed to balance performance with risk management, ensuring a stronger ETH yield on a per-share basis.

In parallel, Bit Digital has announced a $100 million convertible senior note offering, with an additional $15 million over-allotment option. The proceeds will be used to expand ETH holdings and support broader corporate initiatives, including acquisitions and digital asset investments. The organisation currently holds 120,000 ETH, ranking seventh among Ether treasury companies tracked by Strategic Ether Reserve.
