Positioning to Become the First Publicly Traded Company in Canada to Offer Both Equity and Crypto Trading
Aligned with $50M Bitcoin Treasury Strategy and IntelligentInvesting.ai Rollout
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mogo Inc. (“Mogo” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: MOGO; TSX: MOGO), a digital wealth and payments company on a mission to build the future of intelligent finance, today announced that it is moving forward with plans to seek regulatory approval to offer crypto trading on its platform. If approved, Mogo would join an elite category, becoming one of only two companies in the country authorized to offer both equity and crypto trading under a single, regulated platform.
This step forward marks a structural expansion of Mogo’s evolution into an integrated, multi-asset investing platform. It follows the introduction of IntelligentInvesting.ai, a next-generation wealth experience built for disciplined investors seeking to build long-term capital across both traditional and digital assets.
This milestone also reflects Mogo’s long-standing commitment to crypto innovation in Canada. In 2018, it launched Canada’s first Bitcoin account, and in 2020, it became the third US-listed company to allocate Bitcoin to its balance sheet, following MicroStrategy and Block. Today’s announcement builds on that legacy, reinforcing Mogo’s leadership at the intersection of fintech and hard asset capital allocation.
“The question is no longer whether crypto belongs in a portfolio, it’s how to hold it intelligently,” said David Feller, Founder & CEO of Mogo. “Our approach isn’t built on hype, but on structure, security, and long-term alignment. We’re not building a trading tool, we’re building a regulated, behaviorally sound platform where crypto plays a deliberate role in wealth creation. That’s the difference. And it’s one a disciplined investor would respect.”
Mogo currently offers equity investing via MogoTrade Inc. and adding crypto trading to the Company’s roadmap is tightly integrated with Mogo’s capital allocation strategy, which includes a board-approved $50 million Bitcoin treasury authorization.
“This is not a marketing play. It’s a structural shift,” said Greg Feller, Co-Founder & President of Mogo. “The convergence of equities and crypto is not theoretical, it’s inevitable. Regulatory approval isn’t just a milestone, it’s a moat. With IntelligentInvesting.ai, we’re building a unified wealth experience designed for those who think in decades, not days.”
With this move, Mogo is not simply adding crypto, it is architecting the future of disciplined, multi-asset investing in Canada. Mogo aims to build the only platform where long-term investors can manage both equities and crypto within a unified system grounded in behavioral discipline.
