Galaxy Digital to raise $300m for Helios data center expansion

As a seasoned crypto investor with over a decade of experience under my belt, I find Galaxy Digital’s latest move to be a strategic one, especially given their focus on Bitcoin mining operations and high-performance computing infrastructure. The expansion of the Helios data center in West Texas is a smart investment, considering the growing demand for computational power in the crypto space.


Galaxy Digital is planning a $300 million private sale of exchangeable senior notes, maturing in 2029, for the purpose of funding the growth of its West Texas Helios data center and backing various corporate projects.

On November 20, Mike Novogratz’s company Galaxy Digital Holdings declared their intention to secure $300 million by issuing exchangeable senior notes in a private sale. This move aims to strengthen their advanced computing infrastructure at the Helios data center located in West Texas, as well as for other corporate needs.

The initial buyers are given the chance to acquire extra notes worth $45 million within 13 days from the issue date, as stated in the press release. These notes will earn interest every six months and will be due on December 1, 2029.

As an analyst, I can share that the intention behind this offering is for me to utilize the generated funds primarily towards enhancing the high-performance computing setup at our Helios data center in West Texas. Additionally, these resources could be allocated for general corporate purposes, such as considering the buyback of our existing debts if deemed beneficial.

Galaxy ramps up investment in Bitcoin mining operations

In simpler terms, the board at Galaxy Digital has agreed to restructure the company, moving it from its current location to the United States. This change will involve existing shareholders swapping their regular shares for common stock in Galaxy Digital Inc., which is a company based in Delaware.

1) The deal is still pending approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange, and it’s only available to large investment institutions and buyers who meet the requirements of both U.S. and Canadian securities regulations.

In December of 2022, Galaxy Digital took over the Helios facility. Situated in Dickens County, West Texas, this state-of-the-art Bitcoin (BTC) mining and computing center boasts a capacity of 200 megawatts and was originally constructed by Argo Blockchain. It ranks as one of the most significant crypto mining locations in North America.
