When BTGO insiders can sell

BITGO HOLDINGS, INC. · IPO prospectus filed 2026-01-23 · Single cliff · 180-day lock-up

That is the calendar date the clause computes to, counted from the prospectus date. It is the only date computable without knowing a future earnings date, which is why everything that could pull it earlier is printed below it on this page rather than folded into it.

How much stock, against how much trades

"Absorb days" is the shares coming free divided by average daily volume: how many full sessions of BTGO's entire turnover the release amounts to. It is a ratio, not a forecast — it does not know who wants to sell, and a founder with no intention of selling counts the same as a fund that has been waiting six months.

Exactly 220,169,621 shares, against 972,615 shares a day averaged over 20 sessions. Volume source: yahoo-finance2 daily bars (symbol not in our price table), through 2026-11-06. Dollar volume $4.7M a day. Heaviest third of the cohort.

Our call: Pressure

BTGO sits in the heaviest third of a cohort of 47 deals — lightest third at or below 54.1 sessions, heaviest at or above 109 sessions. The call is cohort-relative, not a fixed threshold, so the same absorb-day figure could read differently against a different month's IPOs. Expected excess return against SPY: negative.

The lock-up clause, in the issuer's words

Every other free lock-up calendar tells you 180 days and moves on. This is the actual sentence the date above was computed from, so that if the words do not support the number, the number is wrong and the filing is one click away.

LLC 234 Table of Contents on behalf of the underwriters, for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus (the "Lock-Up Period") we and they will not a) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of Class A common stock, or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of Class A common stock, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of Class A common stock (collectively, the "Lock-Up Securities") b) engage in any hedging o…

Where the share count comes from

220,169,621 shares — derived: shares outstanding after the offering, less the shares sold in it. A count the prospectus prints and a count derived from two of its other numbers are not the same quality of claim, so which one this is gets said rather than implied.

Exceptions written into the lock-up (7)

Each of these is a route by which BTGO shares can move before 2026-07-22. The 10b5-1 carve-out is the one worth reading twice: it lets insiders put a selling plan in place during the lock-up, so the first sales can be automatic and immediate rather than discretionary and later.

How this reading of BTGO could be wrong

The lock-up period is restated 4 times in this prospectus. Issuers repeat the clause on the cover, in the summary, in the risk factors and in the underwriting section, and the wording is not always identical. The parser resolved them to one period; if a reader finds a restatement that disagrees, the quote above is the one it used.

The volume is a vendor's, not ours. BTGO is not in our own price table, so average daily volume comes from yahoo-finance2 daily bars (symbol not in our price table). Vendor bars for recently listed symbols are the ones most likely to be wrong.

Only 20 sessions of volume history. This is a recent IPO, and early volume is dominated by the offering itself. An average over 20 sessions of a stock that has barely traded is the weakest input on the page, and absorb days inherits every bit of that weakness.

The parser can misread a filing. That is why every number here is printed next to the words it came from. Earlier versions of this parser read the underwriters' 30-day over-allotment window as a 30-day lock-up on five deals, and double-counted one issuer's share total because the offering summary appears on both the cover and in the summary section.

Also unlocking in 2026-07 (5)

Lock-ups cluster, because IPOs cluster: these priced in the same window as BTGO and come free in the same month. Several heavy releases landing together is a different situation from one.
