Shares of Galaxy Digital faced a significant decline on Tuesday following the release of disappointing quarterly earnings and revenue figures. The crypto-investment and data-center company reported earnings per share of $0.8 for the second quarter, falling short of Wall Street’s consensus estimate of $0.18.
Revenue for the period totaled $9.1 billion, markedly below analysts’ expectations of $13.9 billion. Consequently, Galaxy’s stock, GLXY, plummeted by 10%, settling at $27.68.
Galaxy reported a 22% decrease in digital-asset trading volumes from the first quarter, primarily driven by reduced spot-trading activity. The firm’s crypto sales, which represent its largest revenue stream, fell to $8.6 billion in the second quarter, down from $12.8 billion in the first quarter and $8.8 billion a year prior.
Additionally, Galaxy has agreed to acquire an extra 160 acres of land and a 1 gigawatt load interconnection request adjacent to the campus.
CEO Mike Novogratz expressed optimism about the Helios project, stating, “Helios will be a top five data center in the world if we get that fully built out.” The company anticipates generating revenue from its data-center operations in the first half of 2026.
This offering includes $1 billion in notes maturing in 2029 and another $1 billion due in 2032. Additionally, initial purchasers will have the option to acquire up to $150 million more of each series.
These notes will be senior, unsecured obligations with interest payable semi-annually, and they can be converted into cash, Class A common stock, or a combination of both at Coinbase’s discretion.
The remaining funds will be allocated to support general corporate needs, including working capital, capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions, and potential debt repurchases.
