What to know:
- Galaxy Digital (GLXY) is raising $1.15 billion via exchangeable senior notes due 2031.
- The notes carry a 0.50 annual interest and an exchange price of about $55.76, with proceeds expected to support expansion and possibly repay existing 2026 notes.
- Shares are lower by 7.6% in early trading Tuesday.
Mike Novogratz's Galaxy Digital (GLXY) is selling $1.15 billion in exchangeable notes in a private deal, upsizing from last night's originally offered $1 billion.
Estimated net proceeds of $1.127 billion (or $1.274 billion if the full $150 million greenshoe option is exercised), said the company. The notes, carrying an annual interest rate of 0.50% and maturing May 1, 2031, are exchangeable at an initial rate of 17.9352 shares per $1,000 principal amount—equivalent to an exchange price of about $55.76, a 37.5% premium to the stock’s Oct. 27 closing price.
Proceeds will support growth across Galaxy’s core businesses and may be used to repay its 2026 exchangeable notes. The notes cannot be redeemed before November 6, 2028, and become redeemable afterward if Galaxy’s share price trades 130% above the exchange price for a sustained period.
The transaction remains subject to TSX approval, expected on Oct. 30, 2025.
Shares of Galaxy Digital are down 7.6% in New York following the announcement, though they remain up 110% year to date, currently trading around $37.46.
