anchored·33kmRr…HgdFSummary
Anchorage Digital is a U.S. digital-asset custody and banking firm founded in 2017 by Nathan McCauley and Diogo Mónica, which in January 2021 became the first company to receive a national trust bank charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. In April 2022 the OCC issued a consent order against Anchorage Digital Bank over deficiencies in its anti-money-laundering program. The company has since raised additional capital, including a 2026 strategic investment from Tether at a reported $4.2 billion valuation, and has been reported to be considering an IPO. A co-founder is scheduled to speak at Solana Breakpoint 2026; that speaking engagement is not itself a finding about the company and is noted here only for context.
