Galaxy Investment Partners

What Galaxy Investment Partners does

Galaxy Investment Partners (operating as Galaxy Digital) is a New York-headquartered, publicly traded (NASDAQ: GLXY) digital assets and blockchain technology firm founded in 2018 by Mike Novogratz. The company operates a full-stack institutional platform spanning OTC and electronic trading, lending, derivatives, asset management (ETFs, hedge funds, venture capital through Galaxy Ventures and Galaxy Interactive), investment banking for M&A and strategic financing, tokenization, staking, and the enterprise-grade GK8 custody platform. Galaxy also operates the Helios AI and high-performance computing data center campus in Dickens County, Texas — 1,500+ acres with 1.6+ GW of approved power capacity — extending the firm beyond pure-play digital assets into AI infrastructure.

The business serves a diversified institutional and retail customer base: trading firms, hedge funds, banks and financial market infrastructure providers, miners, founders/onchain startups, and individual investors. Institutions access Galaxy through dedicated sales coverage and, increasingly, the GalaxyOne Institutional platform, while individual investors and businesses use the GalaxyOne multi-asset app (cash, crypto, equities, and yield) — with Galaxy Premium Yield offering 8.00% APY for U.S. accredited investors. As of March 31, 2026, Galaxy reported $9B in assets on platform, a $1.4B average loan book in Q1 2026, and 1,600+ institutional trading counterparties, positioning it among the world's leading digital asset liquidity providers.

Revenue is generated through transaction fees (trading, lending, derivatives), recurring management and subscription fees (asset management, staking, yield products), professional services (investment banking), licensing/structuring fees (tokenization), and managed services (data center/HPC). The firm operates across U.S. (regulated by FINRA, CFTC, NFA, NYDFS), UK (FCA), and Hong Kong jurisdictions through wholly-owned subsidiaries, and maintains a research-and-thought-leadership layer through the Galaxy Brains podcast and Galaxy Research publications.
