Galaxy Digital reported a reduced loss in the first quarter, driven by changes in its business operations and improved financial management, which offset the decline in cryptocurrency prices. The company's loss stood at $216 million, or 49 cents per share, surpassing analyst estimates of 59 cents.
Revenue declined to $10.2 billion from $12.9 billion in the same quarter last year. Galaxy Digital is increasingly focusing on the growing demand for data centers and has delivered its first data hall at the Helios campus in Texas to CoreWeave, marking the beginning of revenue generation under a long-term lease for artificial intelligence workloads.
According to the company, 'adjusted gross profit remained relatively stable due to a shift in the business mix, with recurring fee revenue and transaction income continuing to grow, providing greater resilience in challenging market conditions.' The company also emphasized its focus on disciplined expense management, which helped narrow the adjusted EBITDA loss. The Helios facility is expected to deliver 133 megawatts of computing power by the end of the second quarter, with an additional 830 megawatts of power approved, bringing the total capacity to over 1.6 gigawatts.
Galaxy Digital's shares fell for the second consecutive day, down 0.84% to $24.84.
