Ledger Puts U.S. IPO Plans on Hold

Weak demand for crypto stocks pushes the hardware-wallet maker to weigh a private raise.

Overview

  • Reports on Wednesday said Ledger paused plans for a U.S. listing after reassessing how investors are treating crypto offerings.
  • Ledger has not submitted a draft S-1 to the SEC, the filing that starts a formal U.S. IPO process.
  • The company is considering a private capital raise after earlier work with Goldman Sachs, Jefferies, and Barclays on a New York listing that discussed a valuation near $4 billion.
  • The shift tracks a broader pullback in crypto listings, with Kraken delaying its IPO plans and BitGo now trading about 36% below its January offer price.
  • Ledger is still building its U.S. footprint, hiring CFO John Andrews in March and opening a New York office to serve institutional clients through its Ledger Enterprise platform.
