Bitget has published proof of reserves every month since December 2022 — 43 consecutive issues by June 2026 — and ships an open-source Merkle validator so a customer can check their own balance without trusting the interface. Its regulatory footprint is stated by the company rather than corroborated in a register we could reach.
Our assessment
Bitget has published proof of reserves every month since December 2022, reaching its 43rd consecutive issue in June 2026 with a reported reserve ratio of 123%. More unusually, it ships an open-source Merkle validator, so customers can verify inclusion using code they can read rather than a checker the exchange controls.
The longest unbroken record in this table
Consistency matters more than any single snapshot. A venue that publishes monthly for three and a half years without a gap is making a standing commitment that would be conspicuous to break — and unlike a one-off attestation, the history itself is the evidence. No other exchange in this comparison shows a run of that length.
Verification you do not have to trust
The open-source validator is the detail that separates this programme from its peers. Most exchanges ask users to verify through an in-house interface, which requires trusting the interface. Publishing the verification tool as readable code removes that step, and it is the kind of thing that costs an exchange nothing to do and is quietly revealing when it is absent.
What we could not confirm
The company states VASP registrations in Lithuania and Poland. We could not reach an independent register entry corroborating that, so the licensing indicator scores partial rather than met — the claim may well be accurate; it is simply not confirmed from the public record at this check. We also found no status page at a conventional address, and the fee page did not display rates to an automated check.
Who it suits
Bitget fits readers who weight reserve transparency and want an active trading venue with wide coverage, and who are comfortable that the regulatory picture is stated by the company rather than corroborated by a register. Readers who need an EU-authorised counterparty should look at Kraken, OKX, Gate or Bitstamp instead.
