Galaxy Digital reported a narrowed loss for the first quarter, driven by a change in its business mix and stricter financial control, which offset the impact of declining cryptocurrency prices. The company posted a loss of $216 million, or 49 cents per share, beating the estimated loss of 59 cents per share. Revenue decreased 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. The company stated, "Our adjusted gross profit remained relatively stable due to the shift in our business mix, with recurring fee revenue and transaction income continuing to grow and provide greater stability in challenging market conditions." The company also noted that disciplined expense management during the quarter helped reduce the adjusted EBITDA loss, highlighting its focus on operational efficiency. The Helios facility is expected to deliver 133 megawatts of computing power by the end of the second quarter, with the potential for an additional 830 megawatts of power, 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.
