Galaxy Digital Shares Close 6.72% Higher After Hours — Here's What Could Be Powering The Stock - CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV), Galaxy Digital (NASDAQ:GLXY)

Galaxy Digital Inc. GLXY shares climbed in after-hours trading Wednesday, seemingly fueled by optimism about its expansion into high-performance computing.

What happened: The digital asset and AI infrastructure company announced a 29 million share offering last month to fund the continued expansion of high-performance computing infrastructure at its Helios data center campus in West Texas.

Before this, Galaxy entered into a new agreement with AI cloud-computing provider CoreWeave Inc. CRWV, committing to an additional 260 megawatts at the Helios data center.

The company was also taking strides in its core cryptocurrency business. It announced a partnership with the staking protocol Liquid Collective to help drive the institutional adoption of liquid staking.

Galaxy has traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange and OTC markets since 2020, but the company made its debut on Nasdaq last month. The company was founded by billionaire Mike Novogratz and is reportedly in talks with regulators regarding the tokenization of the company’s stock.
