Bridgepoint, a mid-market investor, has announced that it has agreed to acquire a majority stake in ht.digital, a provider of digital asset assurance and technology solutions.
The investment will be made by Bridgepoint Development Capital V — Bridgepoint’s lower middle-market fund focused on supporting fast-growing businesses across Europe
Bridgepoint’s investment will support ht.digital as it scales internationally and further professionalises its platform, building on its recent expansion into Europe.
The partnership will enable continued investment in the firm’s product and data innovation, alongside recruitment of specialist talent to add to its existing team.
Matt Legg, partner at Bridgepoint, says: “ht.digital sits at the intersection of two powerful, long-term trends — the institutional adoption of digital assets and the growing regulatory demand for independent audit and assurance.
“Nick and his team have built an exceptional business that combines accounting rigour, crypto-native expertise and advanced automation to deliver trusted assurance in a rapidly evolving market.
“We’re delighted to partner with them to help realise ht.digital’s potential as the global leader in its field.”
Nick Newman, founder and CEO of ht.digital, adds: “Today is an important milestone for ht.digital.
“I’m immensely proud of what our team has built and grateful to our clients, my partners and Harris & Trotter for their support on the journey.
“Bridgepoint understands our business and knows how to scale professional services and technology firms.
“They are the ideal partner for ht.digital’s growth ambitions as we invest in our platform and expand internationally.”
