Galaxy Digital's emerging AI infrastructure business is the real story, yet most investors still see it as a crypto company, leaving the disconnect rarely wider. It is developing 1.6 GW of data center capacity, and CoreWeave is a key part of the thesis, adding another layer of upside. An announcement of a signed data center tenant could be a near-term catalyst. It is a buy on every pullback. x.comÂ
Reduced perceived CoreWeave credit risk and a fully ramped lease would support a higher valuation for Galaxy Digital. A $50 share price in 18 months seems reasonable if the CoreWeave lease reaches $1B+ of EBITDA and the first phase of an 830MW lease to a new investment-grade tenant is online by mid-2028, adding $200M-$300M of EBITDA. Further leases and execution at other sites, a crypto bull market and recurring digital-asset licensing revenue could take it much higher. x.comÂ
Galaxy Digital's Helios leases are becoming operating capacity, supporting its AI infrastructure opportunity alongside institutional digital assets. It has delivered 133 MW of critical IT capacity to CoreWeave and contracted 526 MW across three 15-year phases, with about $1 billion in anticipated annual lease revenue once fully delivered. CoreWeave's widening credit spreads and Galaxy's exposure to that customer remain risks; a breakout above resistance in the $30s is still conditional. x.comÂ
Galaxy Digital is in no man's land as a stock for now. Its core trading business probably breaks even, worth maybe $5 a share, its CoreWeave HPC deal still has a long ramp before cash flows arrive, and its approved Texas capacity has only 50/50 odds of getting power assigned, so hyperscalers won't commit. That tempers @SimonSaysBTC's math on Helios, including about $1.2B of annual revenue from the 800 MW CoreWeave contract. x.comÂ
Scarce power available for 2028 delivery and rising demand for that capacity favor Galaxy Digital, IREN and Cipher Mining. XCapitalMgmt highlights Galaxy management's report of delayed competing projects, stronger demand from hyperscalers and AI firms for 2028 capacity, and more selective financing. Galaxy has over 800 MW secured at Helios II but is still evaluating tenants and deal terms. x.comÂ
CoreWeave looks positioned to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of years of demand for GPU computing at scale. It should be one of the most important players in the AI infrastructure buildout, with Jensen Huang and Nvidia deeply tied to it. At $50 a share, its debt load is not a concern; the stock could look like one of the best buying opportunities by decade-end. x.com x.comÂ
Galaxy Digital faces structural selling pressure because it needs equity financing, and Mike Novogratz knows it. A single raise to institutions obliterated the stock, while IREN absorbs regular ATM sales easily. The market dislikes the crypto part of the business and, more importantly, has no confidence that a team of crypto executives can pull off a data center build-out. That follows a new filing flagged in a post the author replies to. x.com x.com x.comÂ
Galaxy Digital is on its way to becoming one of the largest AI data center companies in the US after pivoting mostly away from crypto early, in 2022. Its fundamentals are excellent: a 1,500+ acre campus in Texas with 1.63 GW of approved power capacity and a huge cash balance. x.comÂ
Contracted AI compute demand makes four AI infrastructure stocks worth buying at 52-week lows. Applied Digital has a $36B backlog and expects 600+ MW online within 12 months; Cipher Mining has $8.5B+ in AI leases with payments ramping; CleanSpark has a 20-year $6.6B lease and 1.8+ GW power portfolio; CoreWeave has a $104B backlog and raised its year-end ARR target to $18.5-19.5B. x.com x.comÂ
Galaxy Digital may be the market's most undervalued stock because its $6.5B value overlooks Helios I's contracted rent and $6.6B in cash, Treasuries, digital assets and investments. Its first full Helios I Phase I quarter delivered $69M of data-center adjusted EBITDA. Novogratz said Galaxy rejected a Helios II lease as power tightened; a higher-priced tenant is still prospective. Galaxy expects $800-850M in annualized leasing by end-2027, and the stock should quickly reach $30+ by year-end. … Show more
Galaxy Digital's landlord position gives it a meaningfully higher floor than CoreWeave as a way to bet on a CoreWeave rebound. Even if CoreWeave restructures, an energized ERCOT lease is one a debtor would fight to keep; in the worst case, Galaxy still owns the land, buildings and grid interconnect. Galaxy is noisier quarter to quarter, but CoreWeave carries more risk of permanent capital loss. x.comÂ
