Galaxy's crypto discount is running out of time. Updating our take on original September 2025 thesis.
Since we posted:
✓ ERCOT approved an additional 830MW at Helios, doubling total approved capacity to 1.6GW
✓ $1.4B project financing closed, non-recourse to Galaxy's corporate balance sheet
✓ CoreWeave's contracted commitment locked at 526MW, 15-year lease, $1B+ average annual revenue
✓ First data hall delivered to CoreWeave in April 2026, marking the transition from construction to revenue
✓ 90% lease-level EBITDA margins confirmed on Q1 earnings call
✓ Galaxy consolidated to Nasdaq only
✓ CoreWeave sitting on $99.4B revenue backlog, counterparty risk is not the concern it was
What happens next:
Phase I (133MW) reaches full delivery by end of Q2. Q3 2026 is the first complete quarter of Helios operations. Analysts who have been running a crypto model on GLXY will have to rebuild it around contracted infrastructure cash flows at 90% margins. That process takes two to three earnings cycles. It starts July 28.
Our claim: Galaxy Digital ($GLXY) will report an annualized Helios data center revenue run-rate exceeding $250 million in its Q3 2026 earnings. Phase I at full capacity is 133 of 526 contracted megawatts. The math on the $1B+ annual contract gets you there. The stock still trades like a crypto proxy at Beta 3.6. Those two things will not both remain true.
