ht.digital’s mission is to provide independent, institutional-grade assurance, data and technology solutions to the digital-asset space. The company supports more than 700 global clients, including exchanges, platforms and institutional investors, by delivering proof of reserves, attestations, audit support and technology-enabled verification across on-chain and off-chain workflows. 

Bridgepoint, one of Europe’s leading listed private equity groups, is acquiring a majority stake to strengthen ht.digital’s international expansion, accelerate product and data innovation, and deepen its capabilities in a rapidly institutionalising sector. The transaction positions Bridgepoint and ht.digital at the centre of two structural trends: the adoption of digital assets by regulated institutions and the rising demand for independent transparency, audit and reporting infrastructure. 

Areta acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Bridgepoint, supporting the evaluation, diligence, and execution of this transaction and reinforcing Bridgepoint’s continued leadership in high-growth digital asset infrastructure.
