Galaxy Digital reported a narrowed loss in the first quarter, driven by a change in its business mix and improved financial management, which offset the decline in cryptocurrency prices. The company's loss was $216 million, or 49 cents per share, beating analysts' estimates of 59 cents. Revenue decreased to $10.2 billion from $12.9 billion in the previous year's quarter.
Galaxy Digital is increasingly focusing on meeting the growing demand for data centers and has delivered its first data hall at the Helios campus in Texas to CoreWeave, marking the start of revenue generation under a long-term lease agreement tied to artificial intelligence workloads. The company stated that its adjusted gross profit remained relatively stable due to the shift in its business mix, with recurring fee revenue and transaction income continuing to grow and provide greater resilience in challenging market conditions. Disciplined expense management during the quarter helped reduce the adjusted EBITDA loss, highlighting the company's focus on operating efficiency. 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.
Despite this, GLXY shares fell for the second consecutive day, down 0.84% at $24.84.
