Galaxy Digital Inc. reported a Q1 2026 net loss of $216 million, a 55% improvement from the $482 million loss recorded in Q4 2025. Diluted adjusted earnings per share were $0.49, a loss that beat analyst consensus estimates of a $0.59 or $1.06 loss, underscoring stronger cost control and a more favorable revenue mix than expected.
The Digital Assets segment generated an adjusted gross profit of $49 million, essentially flat from the prior quarter, while the Data Centers segment did not report a profit in Q1 2026. The data‑center business was still in the transition phase, having just begun revenue recognition with the delivery of its first data hall at the Helios campus in April 2026.
The sharp decline in the company’s Treasury & Corporate holdings—down 19% quarter‑over‑quarter—contributed a $140 million unrealized loss, reflecting the broader crypto‑market downturn. Despite this, Galaxy’s recurring fee revenue from its Digital Assets platform helped cushion the impact, and operating expenses fell 7% to roughly $147 million, driven by lower professional‑fee and compensation costs.
Helios marked a key milestone with the first data hall’s delivery, positioning the company to commission a 133 MW critical‑IT load in the second half of 2026. The project is backed by a $1.4 billion non‑recourse financing for Phase I and ongoing efforts to secure additional power capacity for future phases, signaling a strategic pivot toward stable, infrastructure‑based revenue streams.
The company also announced a $65 million share‑repurchase program, repurchasing 3.2 million Class A shares during the quarter, a move that reflects confidence in the company’s intrinsic value and provides a disciplined use of capital.
Management highlighted that the Helios data‑center project remains on schedule and on budget, and that the company’s trading and execution revenues are resilient even in a down market. They noted that the company’s balance sheet has been impacted by crypto‑price declines, but that the shift toward recurring fee revenue and infrastructure services is strengthening long‑term resilience.
Investors focused on the EPS beat and the Helios milestone as key drivers of the market’s positive reaction, indicating that the company’s strategic shift toward data‑center infrastructure and disciplined cost management are viewed favorably by the market.
