#### SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions and on information available to our management as of the date hereof or as of the date of any such document incorporated by reference herein, as the case may be. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. All statements other than present and historical facts and conditions contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy, plans and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as "anticipate," "believe," "contemplate," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "target," "will" or "would" or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • our expectations regarding our revenue, expenses and other operating results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • our ability to acquire new customers and successfully engage and expand usage of our existing customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • our ability to sustain our profitability;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • future investments in our business, our anticipated capital expenditures and our estimates regarding our capital requirements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the costs and success of our marketing efforts, and our ability to promote our brand;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • our reliance on key personnel and our ability to identify, recruit and retain skilled personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • our ability to effectively manage our growth, including through strategic partnerships and acquisitions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • our ability to compete effectively with existing competitors and new market entrants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • borrowings under the Credit Agreement (as defined herein);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • our plans and expectations regarding securing additional data center capacity and our growth; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • our anticipated use of proceeds from this offering.

We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated herein by reference primarily on our expectations and projections about future events and trends as of the date hereof or as of the date of the applicable document incorporated by reference herein, as the case may be, that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects, business strategy and financial needs. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors described in the section titled "Risk Factors" in this prospectus supplement and in our [Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025](http://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1582961/000158296126000019/docn-20251231.htm), incorporated by reference herein. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated herein by reference. We cannot assure you that the results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame or at all.

In addition, statements that "we believe" and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this prospectus supplement or the applicable document incorporated by reference herein, as the case may be, and while we

S-iv

believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

The forward-looking statements made in this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated herein by reference relate only to events as of the date on which such statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus supplement or to conform such statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as required by law. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

This prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain market data and industry forecasts that were obtained from industry publications. These data and forecasts involve a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such information. We have not independently verified any third-party information. While we believe the market position, market opportunity and market size information included in this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated herein by reference is generally reliable, such information is inherently imprecise.

#### SUMMARY
 *This summary highlights information contained or incorporated by reference elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and does not contain all of the information that you should consider in making your investment decision. Before investing in our common stock, you should carefully read this entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and the information incorporated by reference herein, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the section titled "Risk Factors" included elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and in our [Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025](http://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1582961/000158296126000019/docn-20251231.htm), which is incorporated by reference herein.

#### Business Overview
DigitalOcean is an agentic inference cloud platform that helps AI and Digital Native Enterprises build, run, and scale intelligent applications with speed, simplicity, and predictable economics. The platform combines production-ready GPU infrastructure, a full-stack cloud, model-first inference workflows, and an agentic experience layer to reduce operational complexity and accelerate time to production. Our customers include growing technology companies across numerous industry verticals ranging from online gaming to fintech to cybersecurity, among many others, and leverage our platform for a wide variety of use cases, such as building and hosting websites, developing new web and mobile applications, integrating AI into their businesses, and building AI products and applications, among many others. We believe that being simple, scalable and approachable, while offering a comprehensive range of integrated cloud and AI products, are our key differentiators, driving a broad range of customers around the world whose needs are not being fully met by larger cloud providers to build and grow their businesses on our platform. Our infrastructure is offered to our customers across numerous data centers worldwide with approximately 45 megawatts (MW) of total capacity as of December 31, 2025, that are connected by a high-speed private backbone, enabling our customers to deploy their solutions across nine different geographic regions.

We offer a comprehensive set of cloud platform capabilities which span across Infrastructure-as-a-Service ("IaaS"), including Droplet virtual machines, storage and networking offerings; Platform-as-a-Service ("PaaS") and Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS"), including Managed Hosting, Managed Database, Managed Kubernetes and Marketplace offerings. We also offer a comprehensive artificial intelligence and machine learning ("AI/ML") platform — DigitalOcean Gradient<sup>®</sup> AI Agentic Cloud which includes Gradient AI Infrastructure with offerings such as GPU Droplets and Bare Metal GPUs; the Gradient AI Platform which offers various building block services including Large Language Models ("LLMs"); and Gradient AI Agents. We continue to invest in our platform to further penetrate the growing markets in which we operate.

We generate revenue primarily from the usage of our agentic inference cloud platform by our customers. We recognize revenue largely based on the customer utilization of our offerings. While our pricing is primarily consumption-based and the majority of our customers use our platform on a month-to-month basis, a growing number of customers are using our platform for larger workloads and some of these customers are opting to enter into committed contracts, committing to a minimum spend on our platform.

We serve a large number of customers that range in size from growing or scaled businesses that generate millions of dollars in revenue and serve millions of their own customers to individual developers testing or learning new technology for their own development. Thousands of new users come to DigitalOcean every month with some users intending only to utilize our platform for a discrete task, and other users are part of new or existing businesses that intend to operate their production and test workloads on our platform to support their business. Given the wide range of users and their associated spend, we classify customers based on their spend in a given month, which we have found to be a good proxy that distinguishes between casual users and substantial enterprise customers.

#### Corporate Information

#### RISK FACTORS
 *Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus, including the information provided under the caption "Risk Factors" in Part I — Item 1A of our [Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025](http://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1582961/000158296126000019/docn-20251231.htm), you should carefully consider the risks described or referred to below before deciding to purchase our common stock. The occurrence of any of these risks may materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. As a result, the trading price of our common stock may decline, and you might lose part or all of your investment. As used in this section, "we," "our" and "us" refer to DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. and not to its subsidiaries.* 

#### Risks Related to this Offering and Our Common Stock
 ***We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may invest or spend the proceeds in ways with which you do not agree and in ways that may not yield a return on your investment.***

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used effectively. Our management might not apply the net proceeds or our existing cash in ways that ultimately increase the value of your investment. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from this offering or our existing cash in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected results, which could cause our stock price to decline. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term U.S. Treasury securities with insignificant rates of return. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders.

 ***The issuance or sale of additional shares of our common stock, or rights to acquire shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock.***

We may conduct future offerings of our common stock, preferred stock or other securities that are convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, our common stock to finance our operations or fund acquisitions, or for other purposes. In addition, as of December 31, 2025, we had 25,197,755 shares available for future issuance under our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, 5,120,628 shares available for future issuance under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, 2,624,316 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the conversion of the 2026 notes and 21,143,375 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the conversion of the 2030 notes. If we issue additional shares of our common stock or rights to acquire shares of our common stock, if any of our existing stockholders sells a substantial amount of our common stock, or if the market perceives that such issuances or sales may occur, then the trading price of our common stock may significantly decline. In addition, our issuance of additional shares of common stock will dilute the ownership interests of our existing common stockholders. Further, holders of a substantial number of shares of our capital stock have rights, subject to some conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering the sale of their shares or to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or other stockholders.

#### Our stock price may be volatile, and the value of our common stock may decline.
The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile and may fluctuate or decline substantially as a result of a variety of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial condition or results of operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • variance in our financial performance from expectations of securities analysts or the financial guidance we provide to the public;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • changes in the pricing of our products and platform;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • changes in our projected operating and financial results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • changes in laws or regulations applicable to our platform and products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • announcements by us or our competitors of significant business developments, acquisitions, or new offerings;

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • significant data breaches, disruptions to or other incidents involving our software;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • our involvement in litigation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • future sales of our common stock by us or our stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • changes in senior management or key personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the trading volume of our common stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • changes in the anticipated future size and growth rate of our market; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • general economic and market conditions.

Broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, geopolitical, regulatory, and market conditions, may also negatively impact the market price of our common stock. In addition, technology stocks have historically experienced high levels of volatility. In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their securities have been subject to securities class action litigation. We have in the past and may in the future be the target of this type of litigation in the future, which could result in substantial expenses and divert our management's attention.

 ***We are required to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, our stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could harm our business and the trading price of our common stock.***

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act"), requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and we are required to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires a rigorous compliance program as well as adequate time and resources. We may not be able to complete our internal control evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. Additionally, we have in the past and may in the future identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and as a result, we may not be able to assert that our internal controls are effective. If we do not successfully remediate any material weaknesses or other deficiencies that arise in the future, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results, which could cause our financial results to be materially misstated and require restatement. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and our stock price may decline as a result. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, or any measures we may take in the future, will prevent or avoid potential future material weaknesses.

 ***Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of our company more difficult, limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management and limit the market price of our common stock.***

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws include provisions that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • authorize our board of directors to issue, without further action by the stockholders, shares of undesignated preferred stock with terms, rights, and preferences determined by our board of directors that may be senior to our common stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • require that any action to be taken by our stockholders be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting and not by written consent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • specify that special meetings of our stockholders can be called only by our board of directors, the chairperson of our board of directors, or our chief executive officer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting, including proposed nominations of persons for election to our board of directors;

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • establish that our board of directors is divided into three classes, with each class serving three-year staggered terms;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • provide that our directors may be removed for cause only upon the vote of at least 66<sup>2</sup>∕3% of our outstanding shares of voting stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • provide that vacancies on our board of directors may be filled only by a majority of directors then in office, even though less than a quorum; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • require the approval of our board of directors or the holders of at least 66<sup>2</sup>∕3% of our outstanding shares of voting stock to amend our bylaws and certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation.

These provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors, which is responsible for appointing the members of our management. In addition, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), which generally, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any of a broad range of business combinations with any "interested" stockholder for a period of three years following the date on which the stockholder became an "interested" stockholder. Any of the foregoing provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock, and they could deter potential acquirers of our company, thereby reducing the likelihood that you would receive a premium for your shares of our common stock in an acquisition.

 ***Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and, to the extent enforceable, the federal district courts of the United States of America as the exclusive forums for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which restricts our stockholders' ability to choose the judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees.***

These choice of forum provisions may limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees. If a court were to find either choice of forum provision contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions. For example, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware recently determined that the exclusive forum provision of federal district courts of the United States of America for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act is not enforceable. However, this decision may be reviewed and ultimately overturned by the Delaware Supreme Court. If this ultimate adjudication were to occur, we would enforce the federal district court exclusive forum provision in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

#### USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock in this offering will be approximately $771.9 million (or approximately $887.9 million if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full), after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses of this offering. We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock in this offering (i) to make investments in additional infrastructure capacity, beyond what we have previously communicated, to support customer demand for our cloud / AI platform, (ii) to strengthen our balance sheet by paying down our existing Term Loan A, and (iii) for general corporate purposes. We are in advanced discussions to secure this additional data center capacity to support our growth.

On August 14, 2025, we drew down a $380 million Term Loan A under our credit agreement, dated as of May 5, 2025, among DigitalOcean, LLC, as borrower, the Company, as holdings, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. as the administrative agent and the collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto (the "Credit Agreement"), and used the proceeds to repurchase a portion of the 2026 notes and to pay related fees and expenses in connection therewith. Borrowings under our Credit Agreement bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either (i) term SOFR, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% per annum based on the Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), or (ii) a base rate equal to the highest of (x) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (y) the prime rate and (z) term SOFR for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%, in each case, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.25% per annum based on the Total Net Leverage Ratio. As of December 31, 2025, the interest rate on the outstanding term loan under our Credit Agreement (the "Term Loan A") was term SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.5% and the outstanding balance was $380 million. The maturity date of the Term Loan A under our Credit Agreement is May 5, 2030, and is subject to a springing maturity date in the event certain conditions occur as described in the Credit Agreement. In February 2026, we drew down an additional $120 million Term Loan A and intend to use the proceeds to repay the 2026 notes at maturity.

Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates are lenders and/or agents under our Credit Agreement. Accordingly, such underwriters and/or their respective affiliates may receive a portion of the net proceeds from this offering. See "Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest) — Other Relationships."

#### DIVIDENDS
We do not currently intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, for the operation of our business and to strengthen our financial position and flexibility. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenue and earnings, capital requirements and general financial condition and results of operations, as well as applicable law, regulatory constraints, industry practice and other business considerations determined by our Board of Directors to be relevant. The payment of any cash dividends will be within the discretion of our Board of Directors. In addition, the terms governing our current or future debt may also limit or prohibit dividend payments. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that we will ever pay dividends in the future or that we would continue to pay any dividends that we may commence in the future.

In addition, under Delaware law, our Board of Directors may declare dividends only to the extent of our surplus (which is defined as total assets at fair market value, minus total liabilities, minus statutory capital) or, if there is no surplus, out of our net profits for the then-current and/or immediately preceding fiscal year.

#### CAPITALIZATION
The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and capitalization as of December 31, 2025:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • on an actual basis; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • on an as adjusted basis to give effect to this offering (assuming no exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares), after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us but without giving effect to the anticipated use of the net proceeds from this offering.

This table should be read in conjunction with "Use of Proceeds" in this prospectus supplement and our consolidated financial statements, related notes and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in our [Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025](http://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1582961/000158296126000019/docn-20251231.htm), which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

#### UNDERWRITING (CONFLICTS OF INTEREST)
We are offering the shares of common stock described in this prospectus supplement through a number of underwriters. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is acting as book running manager of the offering and as representative of the underwriters. We have entered into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to sell to the underwriters, and each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase, at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the number of shares of common stock listed next to its name in the following table:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Name**  | **Number of <br> Shares**  |
| J.P. Morgan Securities LLC  | 3232324 |
| Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC  | 2770563 |
| BofA Securities, Inc.  | 2539683 |
| Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC  | 923521 |
| Citizens JMP Securities, LLC  | 415584 |
| MUFG Securities Americas Inc.  | 415584 |
| KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc.  | 92352 |
| Total  | 10389611 |

---

The underwriters are committed to purchase all the common shares offered by us if they purchase any shares. The underwriting agreement also provides that if an underwriter defaults, the purchase commitments of non-defaulting underwriters may also be increased or the offering may be terminated.

The underwriters propose to offer the common shares directly to the public at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and to certain dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $1.559250 per share. After the initial offering of the shares to the public, if all of the common shares are not sold at the initial public offering price, the underwriters may change the offering price and the other selling terms. Sales of any shares made outside of the United States may be made by affiliates of the underwriters.

The underwriters have an option to buy up to 1,558,441 additional shares of common stock from us to cover sales of shares by the underwriters which exceed the number of shares specified in the table above. The underwriters have 30 days from the date of this prospectus supplement to exercise this option to purchase additional shares. If any shares are purchased with this option to purchase additional shares, the underwriters will purchase shares in approximately the same proportion as shown in the table above. If any additional shares of common stock are purchased, the underwriters will offer the additional shares on the same terms as those on which the shares are being offered.

The underwriting fee is equal to the public offering price per share of common stock less the amount paid by the underwriters to us per share of common stock. The underwriting fee is $2.59875 per share. The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts and commissions to be paid to the underwriters assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares.

We estimate that the total expenses of this offering, including registration, filing and listing fees, printing fees and legal and accounting expenses, but excluding the underwriting discounts and commissions,

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

will be approximately $1.1 million. We have also agreed to reimburse the underwriters for certain of their expenses in an amount up to $15,000.

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the web sites maintained by one or more underwriters, or selling group members, if any, participating in the offering. The underwriters may agree to allocate a number of shares to underwriters and selling group members for sale to their online brokerage account holders.

may purchase shares through the option to purchase additional shares. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the common stock in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. To the extent that the underwriters create a naked short position, they will purchase shares in the open market to cover the position.

The underwriters have advised us that, pursuant to Regulation M of the Securities Act of 1933, they may also engage in other activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common stock, including the imposition of penalty bids. This means that if the representatives of the underwriters purchase common stock in the open market in stabilizing transactions or to cover short sales, the representatives can require the underwriters that sold those shares as part of this offering to repay the underwriting discount received by them.

These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock, and, as a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If the underwriters commence these activities, they may discontinue them at any time. The underwriters may carry out these transactions on the NYSE, in the over the counter market or otherwise.

Other than in the United States, no action has been taken by us or the underwriters that would permit a public offering of the securities offered by this prospectus supplement in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. The securities offered by this prospectus supplement may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this prospectus supplement or any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the offer and sale of any such securities be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that jurisdiction. Persons into whose possession this prospectus supplement comes are advised to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions relating to the offering and the distribution of this prospectus. This prospectus supplement does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities offered by this prospectus supplement in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or a solicitation is unlawful.

Certain of the underwriters and their affiliates have provided in the past to us and our affiliates and may provide from time to time in the future certain commercial banking, financial advisory, investment banking and other services for us and such affiliates in the ordinary course of their business, for which they have received and may continue to receive customary fees and commissions. In addition, from time to time, certain of the underwriters and their affiliates may effect transactions for their own account or the account of customers, and hold on behalf of themselves or their customers, long or short positions in our debt or equity securities or loans, and may do so in the future.

Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates are lenders and/or agents under our 2025 Credit Facility. Accordingly, such underwriters and/or their respective affiliates may receive a portion of the net proceeds from this offering. See "Use of Proceeds."

#### Conflicts of Interest
Because affiliates of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Citizens JMP Securities, LLC, MUFG Securities Americas Inc. and KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. are lenders under our Term Loan A and will receive 5% or more of the net proceeds of this offering due to the repayment of a portion of the Term Loan A by us, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Citizens JMP Securities, LLC, MUFG Securities Americas Inc. and KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. are each deemed to have a "conflict of interest" under FINRA Rule 5121. Accordingly, this offering is being made in compliance with the requirements of Rule 5121. The appointment of a "qualified independent underwriter" is not required in connection with this offering as a "bona fide public market," as defined in Rule 5121, exists for our common stock. In accordance with Rule 5121, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Citizens JMP Securities, LLC, MUFG Securities Americas Inc. and KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. will not confirm any sales to any account over which they exercise discretionary authority without the specific written approval of the transaction from the account holder. See "Use of Proceeds."

U. S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS

The following is a summary of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the ownership and disposition of our common stock by a non-U.S. holder (as defined below) that holds such stock as a capital asset (generally, property held for investment). This summary is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Regulations"), rulings, official pronouncements, and judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date of this prospectus and all of which are subject to change and differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary is for general information only and does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to specific investors in light of their particular circumstances or to investors subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws (such as banks, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, tax-exempt entities, dealers in securities, traders in securities that elect to use a mark to market method of accounting, brokers, expatriates, entities or arrangements treated as partnerships or other pass-through entities or arrangements for U.S. federal income tax purposes and partners or members therein, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, persons that hold our common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated investment, or persons deemed to sell our common stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code), all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those summarized below. The discussion below does not address U.S. federal estate and gift tax considerations, the Medicare tax, or the effect of any state, local or non-U.S. tax law.

 **PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR THEM WITH RESPECT TO THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK, IF ANY, AS WELL AS THE APPLICABILITY OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL TAX LAWS, NON-U.S. TAX LAWS OR INCOME TAX TREATIES IN LIGHT OF THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.** 

For purpose of this summary, a "non-U.S. holder" is a beneficial owner of our common stock (other than an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • a trust if (a) a United States court is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust's administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of the trust's substantial decisions, or (b) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

If a partnership (or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds shares of our common stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships, and partners of a partnership, holding shares of our common stock should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them of owning and disposing of shares of our common stock.

#### Dividends
As discussed in the section of this prospectus titled "Dividends," we do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. However, if we do make distributions of cash or property (other than certain stock distributions) with respect to shares of our common stock (or if we engage in certain redemptions that are treated as distributions with respect to shares of our common stock), distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined under the Code. Distributions that exceed our current or accumulated earnings and profits will reduce the non-U.S. holder's basis in its shares of our common stock (but not below zero). Any excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock and will be treated as described below under "— *Sales or Other Dispositions of Shares of Our Common Stock*."

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Dividends received by a non-U.S. holder with respect to our common stock will generally be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% unless the non-U.S. holder provides proper certification of its eligibility for a reduced rate under an applicable income tax treaty (generally on IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E). Dividends that are effectively connected with a non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if an applicable income tax treaty so requires, attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States) will generally not be subject to U.S. withholding tax if the non-U.S. holder complies with applicable certification and disclosure requirements (generally by providing an IRS Form W-8ECI). Instead, such dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates generally applicable to U.S. holders and, in the case of corporate non-U.S. holders, may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30%. A non-U.S. holder that wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty rate is required to satisfy applicable certification and other requirements. If a non-U.S. holder is eligible for an exemption from or a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty, it may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for a refund with the IRS.

#### Sales or Other Dispositions of Shares of Our Common Stock
A non-U.S. holder will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of shares of our common stock, unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • that gain is effectively connected with a non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base), in which case the non-U.S. holder will be subject to tax at regular U.S. federal income tax rates on the net gain recognized, generally in the same manner as a U.S. holder, and, in the case of a corporate non-U.S. holder may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate) on its effectively connected earnings and profits;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of that disposition, and certain other conditions are met, in which case the holder will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a flat rate of 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate) on the gain recognized net of certain U.S.-source capital losses; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • we are or have been a "United States real property holding corporation," or USRPHC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes during the shorter of the non-U.S. holder's holding period and the five-year period ending on the date of disposition of shares of our common stock, as the case may be, and certain other conditions are met. We believe we are not, and we do not anticipate becoming, a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

#### Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and the regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, "FATCA"), withholding at a rate of 30% will generally be required on dividends in respect of our common stock held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless such institution otherwise qualifies for an exemption or (i) enters into, and complies with, an agreement with the IRS to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in, and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain U.S. persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments, or (ii) if required under an intergovernmental agreement between the U.S. and an applicable foreign country, reports such information to its local tax authority, which will exchange such information with the U.S. authorities. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, or other guidance, may modify these requirements. Similarly, in certain circumstances, dividends in respect of our common stock held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exemptions will generally be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (i) certifies that such entity does not have any "substantial United States owners" or (ii) provides certain information regarding the entity's "substantial United States owners," which we will in turn provide to the IRS. Accordingly, the entity through which an investor holds our common stock will affect the determination of whether withholding under the rules described in this paragraph is required. No additional amounts will be paid to holders in respect of any amounts withheld. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of these rules on an investment in our common stock.

#### ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS
This prospectus is part of an "automatic shelf" registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") as a "well-known seasoned issuer" as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), using a "shelf" registration process. Under this process, we or a selling stockholder may offer and sell the securities from time to time. Each time we or a selling stockholder sells securities, we or a selling stockholder will provide a supplement to this prospectus that contains specific information about the terms of that offering, including the specific amounts and prices of the securities offered. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus.

This summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information included in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement.

#### About DigitalOcean
DigitalOcean is an agentic inference cloud platform that helps AI and Digital Native Enterprises build, run, and scale intelligent applications with speed, simplicity, and predictable economics. The platform combines production-ready GPU infrastructure, a full-stack cloud, model-first inference workflows, and an agentic experience layer to reduce operational complexity and accelerate time to production. Our customers include growing technology companies across numerous industry verticals ranging from online gaming to fintech to cybersecurity, among many others, and leverage our platform for a wide variety of use cases, such as building and hosting websites, developing new web and mobile applications, integrating AI into their businesses, and building AI products and applications, among many others. We believe that being simple, scalable and approachable, while offering a comprehensive range of integrated cloud and AI products, are our key differentiators, driving a broad range of customers around the world whose needs are not being fully met by larger cloud providers to build and grow their businesses on our platform.

We offer a comprehensive set of cloud platform capabilities which span across Infrastructure-as-a-Service ("IaaS"), including Droplet virtual machines, storage and networking offerings; Platform-as-a-Service ("PaaS") and Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS"), including Managed Hosting, Managed Database, Managed Kubernetes and Marketplace offerings. We also offer a comprehensive artificial intelligence and machine learning ("AI/ML") platform — DigitalOcean Gradient<sup>®</sup> AI Agentic Cloud which includes Gradient AI Infrastructure with offerings such as GPU Droplets and Bare Metal GPUs; the Gradient AI Platform which offers various building block services including Large Language Models ("LLMs"); and Gradient AI Agents. We continue to invest in our platform to further penetrate the growing markets in which we operate.

We generate revenue primarily from the usage of our agentic inference cloud platform by our customers. We recognize revenue largely based on the customer utilization of our offerings. While our pricing is primarily consumption-based and the majority of our customers use our platform on a month-to-month basis, a growing number of customers are using our platform for larger workloads and some of these customers are opting to enter into committed contracts, committing to a minimum spend on our platform.

We serve a large number of customers that range in size from growing or scaled businesses that generate millions of dollars in revenue and serve millions of their own customers to individual developers testing or learning new technology for their own development. Thousands of new users come to DigitalOcean every month with some users intending only to utilize our platform for a discrete task, and other users are part of new or existing businesses that intend to operate their production and test workloads on our platform to support their business. Given the wide range of users and their associated spend, we classify customers based on their spend in a given month, which we have found to be a good proxy that distinguishes between casual users and substantial enterprise customers.

#### Corporate Information
We were incorporated in Delaware in 2012 under the name Digital Ocean, Inc. In 2016, as part of a restructuring, Digital Ocean, Inc. was converted into DigitalOcean, LLC, and DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. was formed as the ultimate parent holding company. Our primary operations are performed globally through our wholly owned operating subsidiaries. Our principal executive office is located at 105 Edgeview Drive, Suite 425, Broomfield, Colorado 80021, and our telephone number is (646) 827-4366.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

#### DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

#### General
The following summary description of our capital stock is based on the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our Amended and Restated Bylaws. This description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the DGCL, as it may be amended from time to time, and to the terms of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our Amended and Restated Bylaws, as each may be amended from time to time, which are incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. See "Where You Can Find More Information." As used in this "Description of Capital Stock," the terms "DigitalOcean," the "Company", "we," "our" and "us" refer to DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and do not, unless otherwise specified, include our subsidiaries.

Our authorized capital stock consists of 750,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.000025 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.000025 per share. The outstanding shares of common stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The number of authorized shares of any class may be increased or decreased by an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation proposed by our board of directors and approved by a majority of voting shares voted on the issue at a meeting at which a quorum exists.

As of December 31, 2025, there were 91,947,614 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. No shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding as of December 31, 2025.

#### Common Stock

#### Voting Rights
The common stock is entitled to one vote per share on any matter that is submitted to a vote of our stockholders, including the election of directors. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting for the election of directors. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election, if they so choose, other than any directors that holders of any preferred stock we may issue may be entitled to elect.

#### Dividend Rights
Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared by the board of directors out of legally available funds.

#### Rights Upon Liquidation
In the event of our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, the holders of common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of or provision for all of our debts and other liabilities, subject to the prior rights of any preferred stock then outstanding.

#### Subdivisions and combinations
If we subdivide or combine in any manner outstanding shares of common stock, the outstanding shares of the other classes will be subdivided or combined in the same manner.

#### Other rights
Holders of common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights and there are no redemption or sinking funds provisions applicable to the common stock. All outstanding

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

shares of common stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.

#### Registration Rights
Certain holders of our common stock are entitled to rights with respect to registration of such shares under the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act, pursuant to the terms of an investors' rights agreement.

The registration of shares of our common stock by the exercise of registration rights described below would enable the holders to sell these shares without restriction under the Securities Act. We will pay the registration expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions and legal fees in excess of $30,000 for each registration, of the shares registered by the demand, piggyback and Form S-3 registrations. The registration rights will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (1) the five-year anniversary of the effective date of our registration statement, (2) a liquidation transaction, as such term is defined in our then-current certificate of incorporation and (3) with respect to any particular stockholder, such earlier time after the effective date of the registration statement at which such stockholder (i) can sell all of its shares held by it in compliance with Rule 144(b)(1)(i) of the Securities Act or (ii) holds less than 1% of our outstanding common stock and all registrable securities held by such stockholder (together with any affiliate of such stockholder with whom such stockholder must aggregate its sales under Rule 144 of the Securities Act) can be sold in any three-month period without registration in compliance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

#### Anti-Takeover Provisions
Because our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights, stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of our shares of common stock will be able to elect all of our directors. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws provide for stockholder actions at a duly called meeting of stockholders. A special meeting of stockholders may be called by a majority of our board of directors, the chair of our board of directors or our chief executive officer. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to our board of directors. In addition, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws eliminate the right of stockholders to act by written consent without a meeting.

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for three classes of our board of directors with staggered three-year terms.

The foregoing provisions make it more difficult for another party to obtain control of us by replacing our board of directors. Since our board of directors has the power to retain and discharge our officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management. In addition, the authorization of undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change our control.

These provisions are intended to preserve our existing control structure, facilitate our continued innovation and the risk-taking that it requires, permit us to continue to prioritize our long-term goals rather than short-term results, enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of our board of directors and its policies and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of us. These provisions are also designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in our control or management. As a consequence, these provisions may also inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts.

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, subject to certain exceptions.
