About Bakkt

Bakkt (NYSE:BKKT) is a publicly traded crypto infrastructure company founded in 2018 to build regulated institutional and consumer-facing trading, custody, payments and on/off‑ramp solutions that enable businesses to participate in the crypto economy, including Bitcoin trading and custody services, across the U.S. and select international markets.

The company was launched with backing from Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and was initially led through its launch phase by founding CEO Kelly Loeffler; Bakkt has focused on bringing regulated, institution‑grade Bitcoin and digital-asset products (Brokerage, BakktX and related services) to market.

Bakkt’s leadership has evolved: in 2025 Akshay Naheta was named co‑CEO and entered the executive leadership team, and later transitioned to sole CEO following Andy (Andrew) Main’s departure, while the company continues to publish its full executive roster on its leadership page.
