Galaxy Digital Reports Profitable Quarter Amid Crypto Surge
Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd., led by Michael Novogratz, reported a profitable fourth quarter, driven by the surge in digital asset prices and heightened trading activity.
The company posted a net income of $301.5 million, or 90 cents per share, in contrast to a loss of $288.8 million, or $3.13 per share, in the same period last year.
According to Galaxy, this turnaround was largely attributed to substantial increases in digital asset prices, benefiting from increased market volatility and trading volumes.
In the fourth quarter, the firm’s net holdings of digital assets excluding stablecoins surged to $709 million, doubling from $354 million a year earlier. Notably, Bitcoin, a key indicator for the crypto market, surged by 57% during this period.
Galaxy also disclosed ongoing efforts to reorganize its business by incorporating in Delaware and aiming for a Nasdaq listing.
