Galaxy Digital Keeps Strong Cash Position

Despite the quarterly loss, Galaxy ended March with $2.8 billion in total equity and $2.6 billion in cash and stablecoins. This included $911 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.69 billion in stablecoins.

The company’s total assets stood at $9.99 billion at the end of Q1, down from $11.35 billion in the previous quarter. Its net digital assets and investments also declined to $1.36 billion from $1.68 billion in Q4 of the previous year. Galaxy’s Treasury and Corporate segment recorded an adjusted gross loss of $140 million. The company said this was mainly caused by unrealized losses on digital assets and investment positions.

Galaxy’s Digital Asset Business Holds Steady Despite Market Weakness

Galaxy’s Digital Assets business remained more stable compared with the broader market. The segment generated $49 million in adjusted gross profit during Q1. Its adjusted EBITDA loss was $19 million.

The company said trading volumes in its digital asset business stayed flat quarter-over-quarter, even as industry-wide crypto trading volumes dropped sharply. Galaxy’s average loan book size fell 20% to $1.4 billion, mainly because of lower digital asset prices and client deleveraging.

Galaxy’s Asset Management and Infrastructure Solutions business generated $18 million in adjusted gross profit. The company ended Q1 with about $5.0 billion in assets under management and $3.2 billion in assets under stake. It also recorded $69 million in net inflows during the quarter.

After the quarter ended, BlackRock selected Galaxy as an approved validator for staking tied to the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF. Galaxy also announced a new fintech-focused hedge fund expected to launch on May 1, 2026.
