Galaxy Announces Intent to List on Nasdaq on May 16

Listing contingent on shareholder approval of proposed reorganization and domestication at the previously announced May 9 Special Meeting of Shareholders and final approval of the listing by Nasdaq

NEW YORK, April 30, 2025 /CNW/ – Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. (TSX: GLXY) today announced that it intends to list on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on May 16, 2025. The proposed listing is subject to the satisfaction of all applicable legal and listing requirements, including shareholder approval of the previously announced reorganization and domestication (the “Reorganization”) at the Company’s Special Meeting of Shareholders (as defined below) scheduled for May 9, 2025, and final approval of the listing by Nasdaq.

“We believe that listing on the Nasdaq would mark a transformative milestone for Galaxy that would position us to advance our vision of building a gateway for investors to safely and efficiently access every corner of the digital asset and artificial intelligence ecosystems,” said Mike Novogratz, CEO and Founder of Galaxy. “We are confident that this listing would be value enhancing to the company and our shareholders and enable us to attract a broader investor base.”

Pending the closing of the Reorganization and final approval by Nasdaq, Class A common stock of Galaxy Digital Inc., the newly formed public company incorporated in Delaware, is expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq on May 16, 2025, under the ticker symbol GLXY. For a period of time following Galaxy Digital Inc.’s intended listing on Nasdaq, it will remain listed on the TSX.

Existing GLXY shares trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) will continue to trade, uninterrupted, under the new CUSIP 36317J209. Existing BRPHF shares trading over-the-counter will be converted into GLXY shares on Nasdaq, also under the CUSIP 36317J209.  For more information, a Frequently Asked Questions document can be accessed here and on the Company’s Investor Relations website.
