ht.digital (HT), a leading onchain provider of financial audit, accounting, tax, advisory and operational services, has secured investment from Bridgepoint

Arrowpoint Advisory’s Business Services sector team has advised ht.digital on its partnership with Bridgepoint, who has acquired a majority stake in the business.

ht.digital is the leading onchain provider of financial audit, accounting, tax, advisory and operational services to the digital assets ecosystem. Combining deep blockchain expertise and accounting knowledge with proprietary technology-led solutions, the business provides expert services to a 700-strong client base.

Since the business was carved-out from Harris & Trotter LLP in 2023, it has established itself as the category leader in this emerging segment, with near-100% organic revenue CAGR over the last two years, underpinned by wins across exchanges, blockchain platforms and institutional clients. ht.digital operates in a sizeable market that is forecast to grow rapidly and is positioned to benefit from increased institutional adoption and regulatory demand for independent assurance.

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 high-calibre team.

Nick Newman, Founder and CEO of ht.digital, said: “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.”

Matt Legg, Partner at Bridgepoint, added: “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.”

Daniel Domberger, Managing Director at Arrowpoint Advisory, concluded: “We are delighted to have supported Nick and the ht.digital team on this important milestone for the firm. The business is ideally positioned to capitalise on the soaring rates of adoption and powerful regulatory tailwinds currently defining the sector and we look forward to watching their continued success in partnership with Bridgepoint.”
