 Response Dated February 1, 2024

General

1.
 Please address the following with respect to the going concern disclosure in your amended Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2023:

•

 Revise your Prospectus Summary to provide disclosure about the facts that raise substantial doubt about
your ability to continue as a going concern. Your disclosure should include a discussion of:

•

 the principal conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about your ability to continue as a going
concern;

•

 your evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to your ability to meet your
obligations; and

•

 management’s plans that are intended to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt
about your ability to continue as a going concern.

•

 As part of this disclosure, please also include a discussion of your current liquidity position, the
sources of that liquidity (e.g., cash, short-term investments, etc.), and the expected uses and timing of uses of that liquidity.

•

 Regarding the going concern risk factor disclosure in your amended Form
10-Q, please tell us whether or not you considered revisions or updates to any other disclosures, including the subsequent events footnote to your interim financial statements, related to facts that raise
substantial doubt about your ability to continue as a going concern.

 Response:

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that, promptly after the submission of this letter, it will file Amendment No. 3 to its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 (the “Quarterly Report”), which would be substantively unchanged from Amendment No. 2, except that it would:

(i)
 Include the Company’s interim financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2023
under Part 1, Item 1. These financial statements would be unchanged from those included in the original filing of the Quarterly Report, except for an amended and restated Note 20 thereto providing an update on the substantial doubt regarding the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, as a result of developments since the filing of Amendment No. 2 to the Quarterly Report;

(ii)
 update the risk factor in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” that was filed with Amendments No. 1
and 2 to the Quarterly Report related to our ability to continue as a going concern; and

(iii)
 update the explanatory note accordingly.

Proposed draft pages of Amendment No. 3 to the Company’s Form 10-Q showing the amended and
restated subsequent event footnote, such proposed updated risk factor and the updated explanatory note are attached hereto as Annex A.

The Company also respectfully advises the Staff that, promptly after the submission of this letter, it will file amendments to each of the
Registration Statements that would update each applicable prospectus summary therein to address the disclosure requested in the first and second bullets in this Comment No. 1. Proposed draft pages of the prospectus summary to Registration
Statement with File No. 333-271362, which will be conformed across all the Registration Statements, are attached hereto as Annex B.

 Further, the Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment that the Company
consider revisions or updates to any other disclosures in the Quarterly Report, including the subsequent events footnote to its interim financial statements, related to facts that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. As noted above, the Company intends to file Amendment No. 3 to the Quarterly Report to add the disclosure shown on Annex A, which includes an amended and restated subsequent events footnote (restated Note 20) to the Company’s
interim financial statements. However, the Company does not believe that disclosure updates other than those to be disclosed in such Amendment No. 3 are appropriate, as such disclosure only speaks as of the original filing date of the
Quarterly Report and, therefore, remains unchanged by the post-initial filing developments regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 Please update this section to incorporate by reference your Form
10-Q/A filed on February 8, 2024. For guidance, refer to Question 123.05 of the Securities Act Forms Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations.

Response:

 In connection with the
filing of the Registration Statements to reflect the proposed disclosure on Annex B, the Company will add Amendments No. 2 and 3 to the Quarterly Report to the list of filings that are incorporated by reference into each Registration Statement.

 Annex A

(see attached)

 Explanatory Note

Bakkt Holdings, Inc. (Bakkt,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is filing this Amendment
No. 3 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2023 (this “Amended Form 10-Q” or “10-Q/A”), as originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 14, 2023 (the “Original Form 10-Q”).
As noted below, the disclosure updates to the Original Form 10-Q included in Part II, Item 1A and Item 5 in Amendments No. 1 and 2 are restated, except as otherwise noted below, in this Amendment
No. 3 for completeness.

 This Amended Form 10-Q is presented as of the filing date of the
Original Form 10-Q and does not (i) reflect events occurring after that date, except with respect to the information regarding our ability to continue as a going concern and certain business updates, each
as noted below, or (ii) modify or update disclosures in any way other than as required to reflect the amendment and restatement as described below. Accordingly, this Amended Form 10-Q should be read in
conjunction with the Original Form 10-Q and our filings with the SEC subsequent to the date on which we filed the Original Form 10-Q.

The purpose of this Amended Form 10-Q is to (i) revise the disclosure in Note 20 “Subsequent
Events” in Part I, Item 1, Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements to include updates related to events subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-Q related to our ability to continue
as a going concern, (ii) update the risk factor in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” that was filed with prior amendments to the Original Form 10-Q related to our ability to continue as a going
concern, as we have subsequently deemed there to be substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern 12 months following the date of this Amended Form 10-Q without raising capital,
(iii) restate the other disclosure included in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of Amendments No. 1 and 2 to the Original Form 10-Q, which amended and restated Part II, Item 1A “Risk
Factors” to provide further updates to certain risks resulting from changes to the Company’s business following its acquisition (the “Bakkt Crypto Acquisition”) of Bakkt Crypto Solutions, LLC (“Bakkt Crypto”), formerly
Apex Crypto LLC (“Apex Crypto”), and (iv) restate the disclosure included in Part II, Item 5 of Amendments No. 1 and 2 to the Original Form 10-Q, which amended and restated Part II, Item 5
to provide an update to the Company’s business activities following the Bakkt Crypto Acquisition. Part II, Item 6 “Exhibits” has also been amended and restated to include currently dated certifications of the Company’s principal
executive officer and principal financial officer as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. The certifications are attached to this Amended Form 10-Q as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1
and 32.2.

 Note 20. Subsequent Events

Subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-Q, and in connection with the filing of this Amended
Form 10-Q, we evaluated our ability to continue as a going concern using the information available to us as of the date of this filing.

 We have incurred net losses and consumed cashflow from operations since our inception and
incurred losses and consumed cash through the date of this filing in excess of our budgets, due to increased cash utilization in operations and lower realization of actual revenues. We have historically relied on our existing cash and available-for-sale securities portfolio to fund operations. We do not have any long-term debt to service but have commitments under long-term cloud computing, lease and
marketing contracts. We expect to continue to incur losses and consume cash for the foreseeable future, which has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We do not believe that our cash, short-term securities, and restricted cash are sufficient to fund our operations for the next 12 months,
without raising additional capital in the near future. We have been executing a strategic plan to optimize our capital allocation and expense base since the fourth quarter of 2022, which has reduced our annual cash expenses year over year and which
we expect will continue to reduce our cash expenses in 2024. We are also planning to integrate our regulated entities to reduce regulatory capital and insurance requirements. However, it is critical to our plan to mitigate our cash burn that
we significantly expand our revenue base to be able to generate a sustainable operating profit. There is significant uncertainty associated with our expansion to new markets and the growth of our revenue base given the uncertain and rapidly evolving
environment associated with crypto assets. Accordingly, we cannot conclude that it is probable we will be able to increase revenues substantially beyond levels that we have attained in the past in order to generate sustainable operating profit to
continue doing business, and, as a result, we have concluded these plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are seeking additional financing and evaluating financing alternatives in order to
meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months. We cannot be certain that raising additional capital, whether through selling additional equity or debt securities or obtaining a line of credit or other loan, will be available to us or, if
available, will be on terms acceptable to us.

 Risk Factor Updates

We might not be able to continue as a going concern.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2023 were prepared under the assumption that we would
continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date we filed the Original Form 10-Q, which contemplated the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
business and did not include any adjustments relating to recoverability and the classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of certain uncertainties.

Subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-Q and in connection with the filing of this Amended
Form 10-Q we have determined that we do not believe that our cash and restricted cash are sufficient to fund our operations for the 12 months following the date of this Amended Form 10-Q. Specifically, as of January 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $50.0 million of cash and cash equivalents that was not restricted and approximately $8.2 million in available-for-sale securities. We intend to use our unrestricted cash and proceeds from maturity of
available-for-

sale debt securities to (i) fund our day-to-day operations, including regulatory capital, compensating balance
arrangements and other similar commitments which may be subject to change, (ii) activate new crypto clients, (iii)maintain our product development efforts, and (iv) optimize our technology infrastructure. Our cash and proceeds from the
maturity of available-for-sale debt securities as of the date of the filing of this Amended Form 10-Q are estimated to fund our
operations into the second or third quarter of 2024, depending on the results from our ongoing negotiations of requests for increased cash collateral or revised credit terms with certain of our providers.

There is significant uncertainty associated with our expansion to new markets and the growth of our revenue base given the rapidly evolving
environment associated with crypto assets. Accordingly, we cannot conclude it is probable we will be able to increase revenues substantially beyond levels that we have attained in the past in order to generate sustainable operating profit and
sufficient cash flows to continue doing business without raising additional capital in the near future. As a result of our expected operating losses
