BitGo, the leading digital asset infrastructure company, today announced its partnership with the Bitcoin Students Network, a growing coalition of student-led bitcoin organizations across university campuses around the world. The network was started by Ella Hough, a graduate of Cornell University, and aims to provide students with resources and opportunities within crypto and foster a nation-wide network for students interested in the digital asset space.

Through its collaboration with the Bitcoin Students Network, BitGo will provide logistical, educational, and financial resources, as well as mentorship and internship opportunities, to students passionate about decentralized infrastructure, blockchain technology, and more. The initiative demonstrates BitGo’s goal of building long-term foundations for a reliable digital asset economy.

As part of this engagement, BitGo recently welcomed Max Schmaling, an incoming junior at Vanderbilt University, Elina Zang, an incoming senior at Boston University, and Sophia Abate, an incoming senior at Columbia University. Max is working with BitGo’s Marketing Design team, and is involved in Vanderbilt’s financial modeling, finance, and programming music clubs. Elina has supported the company’s Events team, and serves as Vice President of Boston University Blockchain, a student-run blockchain and distributed technology club that supports research and innovation in Web3. Sophia has joined the company’s Communications team, and is the captain of Columbia’s Varsity Field Hockey team, Student Athlete Advisory Committee, and Columbia Athletics Business and Investment Club.

“Investing in the next generation of digital asset leaders is essential to our mission. We’re excited to work with the students of the Bitcoin Students Network as they help shape the future of the digital asset economy,” said Mike Belshe, CEO at BitGo.
