Galaxy Digital (GLXY) founder and CEO Mike Novogratz highlighted the firm’s key milestones in its 2025 annual report, marking its first 10-K filing as a Nasdaq-listed company.

Novogratz described the listing as more than a milestone, calling it “a declaration that the digital economy is real, and that Galaxy is built to lead it.”

Over the years, Galaxy has evolved from a pure-play digital asset firm into a diversified platform that includes asset management, institutional trading and AI-driven high-performance computing data centers.

Novogratz noted that the digital asset economy has evolved from a speculative, niche market into a mainstream industry, with even the United States now holding bitcoin on its balance sheet, something that would have been inconceivable a decade ago.

The company’s biggest growth tailwind is its artificial intelligence and high-performance computing strategy and Helios, its AI data center campus in West Texas. The site has secured more than 1.6 gigawatts of approved power capacity through ERCOT.

The initial 800 megawatts is already leased to AI cloud provider CoreWeave (CRWV), representing over $7.5 billion in capital investment. With an additional 830 megawatts approved for expansion, Helios is now valued at well above $15 billion, according to the report.

Novogratz’s longer-term goal is to build a multi-billion-dollar portfolio of digital infrastructure assets diversified across regions, tenants, and technologies. “Demand for compute is not a cycle, it is a structural condition that will define the next decade.”

On the digital assets side, Galaxy manages roughly $12.3 billion in platform assets as of December 31, 2025. Its offerings include over-the-counter spot and derivatives trading, lending, staking across 11 blockchains, including Ethereum and Solana, ETFs, and institutional-grade custody.

In October 2025, the firm expanded into retail with GalaxyOne, a fintech platform offering FDIC-insured high-yield accounts, commission-free trading in equities and crypto, and the option to automatically reinvest interest into bitcoin.

Despite the industry downturn in the fourth quarter of 2025, the company saw a net loss of $241 million. Novogratz remains optimistic, saying the firm is “more clear-eyed about our opportunity than we have ever been.”
