On July 26, 2024, Galaxy filed an amendment to its registration statement responding to SEC comments, which is under review.

CryptoManufaktur Acquisition: On July 19, 2024, Galaxy announced that it acquired the assets of CryptoManufaktur (“CMF”), a blockchain node operator that provides trusted, secure services to decentralized protocols across the digital asset ecosystem.

Galaxy Global Markets

Galaxy Global Markets (“GGM”) offers institutional-grade expertise and access to a broad range of digital asset products, including digital asset spot and derivatives trading, financing, capital markets and M&A advisory services to a diversified client base. GGM operates in two discrete business units – Trading and Investment Banking.

Trading

Trading reported counterparty trading revenue of $24 million in the second quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by lower trading volumes, which decreased by 19% quarter-over-quarter (“QoQ”), and unfavorable asset price movements. Despite the QoQ decrease, our counterparty trading business generated approximately $90 million in revenue year-to-date through June, a nearly 80% increase relative to the first half of 2023. Galaxy’s average loan book size expanded to $699 million, driven by increased borrowing demand from both new and existing counterparties. Galaxy continues to onboard new counterparties, including large traditional institutions, and ended the second quarter with 1,212 total trading counterparties.

Mining revenue was $24.0 million for the second quarter, relative to power purchase costs and external hosting expenses, net of curtailment credits, of $10.5 million, resulting in a 56% direct mining profit margin. The QoQ decrease in revenue was primarily driven by the Bitcoin halving in April. Currently, Galaxy has 200 megawatts of energized mining capacity and is bringing on an additional 300 megawatts of high-voltage capacity in the third quarter of 2025. Galaxy has firm capacity approval from both the Electric Reliability Council of Texas and the Wind Energy Transmission of Texas to scale up to 800 megawatts of power from the existing interconnect.

We now have a total of 320 acres of contiguous land and have submitted additional load studies and a new interconnection request that are pending approval.

Overview of Second Quarter Operating Expenses:

Compensation and compensation related expenses of $43 million were roughly flat QoQ.Equity based compensation decreased by approximately $6 million QoQ, primarily driven by fully vested high-priced equity grants issued in 2021, partially offset by new grants issued in 2022, 2023 and 2024 at lower share prices.General and administrative expenses declined by approximately $3 million from the first quarter of 2024, driven by lower mining costs and trading and commission expenses, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization costs.Mining costs decreased by approximately $5 million QoQ; reflecting our actively managed power strategy, leading to a reduction in electricity costs.Trading commission expenses decreased by approximately $2 million QoQ, on account of lower trading volumes in the quarter.Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by over $2 million QoQ, reflecting the additional depreciation from new mining machines and electrical infrastructure that were energized during the prior quarter.Professional fees of $14 million were slightly up QoQ.Staking costs was a new line item this quarter, and reflected the staking rewards that Galaxy generates from its AUS, which were paid to the delegators. This amount offsets the staking rewards received, which were included in the Lending and Staking revenue.Interest expense of $21 million was up approximately $1 million QoQ, reflecting our ability to source non-dilutive wholesale financing to help fund our Trading and Lending businesses and consistent with our risk management principles of sound Asset and Liability Management and maintaining substantial liquidity buffers.
