Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. (TSX: GLXY), which operates—through Galaxy Digital Holdings LP—businesses across Trading, Asset Management, Investment Banking and Principal Investments dedicated to the digital asset, cryptocurrency, and blockchain technology industry, announced today a private investment in public equity financing ("PIPE") of $50 million of aggregate gross proceeds. The PIPE is expected to close in November 2020, subject to customary closing conditions.

"This growth financing from well-known institutional investors is another validation of Galaxy Digital's strategy of being the institutional on-ramp for traditional finance into the crypto markets via differentiated trading, structured financing, asset management, and investment banking solutions," said Christopher Ferraro, President of Galaxy Digital. "2020 has witnessed a broad institutional recognition of blockchain and cryptocurrency use cases and value-add by investors, corporates, regulators, and governments, and we have experienced a significant increase in institutional demand for cryptocurrency-related financial products and services. Galaxy Digital, as an innovator dedicated to creating and providing institutional-grade access to the crypto markets and as one of the few public companies in the space, intends to use this capital to further fuel our business development initiatives for our clients, partners, and counterparties."

The PIPE is subject to TSX approval, and all Securities issued pursuant to the PIPE will be subject to certain selling restrictions set forth in each investor's definitive investment agreement.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the PIPE for general corporate and working capital purposes across its business lines, with a particular focus on growing its client financing business and seeding new asset management-related product offerings.
