Substantial Capital Raises Completed

-
Increased Digital Asset Impairment
Impairment of digital assets surged to $753.7 million in 2025, up 127% from 2024, primarily due to the decline in Bitcoin (6%) and Ether (11%) prices during the year and the mix of digital intangible assets transacted.
Analysis
Galaxy Digital Inc. reported a significant net loss of $241.3 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, a substantial decline from a net income of $346.7 million in the prior year. This downturn was primarily attributed to the volatile digital asset market, with Bitcoin and Ether prices decreasing by 6% and 11% respectively during the year, leading to increased impairment of digital assets totaling $753.7 million. Despite the financial losses, the company is actively pursuing a strategic pivot into the AI/High-Performance Computing (HPC) data center business, securing a $1.4 billion senior secured term loan from Deutsche Bank and issuing $1.3 billion in exchangeable senior notes to fund this expansion. The company also completed a $460 million private placement and a public offering, raising significant capital. Additionally, the board authorized a $200 million share repurchase program, signaling confidence in the company's long-term value. A $160 million legal settlement related to LUNA digital asset claims was also disclosed, with $151 million accrued. The overall picture is one of significant financial challenges in its core crypto business, offset by aggressive capital raising and a strategic shift towards AI/HPC infrastructure, which introduces new opportunities but also substantial capital requirements and execution risks.
