Anchorage Digital Company Intelligence

Following their 2017 launch, the Anchorage Digital team has kept busy. In Nov-20 they completed their Soc 1 Type 1 Security certification. Earlier this year in January, Anchorage became the first OCC approved national crypto bank earning a federal charter from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). Their segments have expanded from pure custodial services to encompass financing, trading, staking and other infrastructure use cases.

Anchorage's first and flagship product was launched in 2017 as the brainchild of co-founders Nathan McCauley and Diogo Monica. The two founders met in 2011 while working in Square's security and technology team. Nathan and Diogo would lead the security team for the next four years and go on to create Square's first encrypted credit card reader, including the firmware security and manufacturing processes overseas. With backgrounds in computer science, the two would go on to create Anchorage Digital, a secure custody solution designed around meeting customer custody needs in the digital asset space.
