Galaxy Digital Reports $216 Million Net Loss for Q1 2026, Stock Rises 5% Against Market Trend
Galaxy Digital released its first-quarter 2026 financial results, reporting a net loss of $216 million and a diluted loss per share of $0.49. The primary driver was the broad downturn in cryptocurrency markets during the quarter, with total crypto market capitalization shrinking by approximately 20%. Its crypto asset holdings declined from $1.67 billion in Q4 2025 to $1.36 billion. As of the end of March, its largest crypto holding was 6,894 BTC (approximately $431 million), followed by $61 million worth of SOL and $42 million worth of ETH. Despite the pressure on earnings, Galaxy Digital’s AI infrastructure business is progressing smoothly: the company confirmed delivery of its first data center facility to CoreWeave and expects to fulfill its full commitment of 133 megawatts of AI/IT infrastructure by the end of Q2. Boosted by this news, the company’s stock (NASDAQ: GLXY) rose 5% intraday—a move that diverged from Bitcoin’s concurrent decline. Wall Street analysts currently assign GLXY an aggregate rating of “Moderate Buy,” with a consensus target price of $39.40—implying roughly 50% upside from its share price of $26.30 at the time of writing.

Caixin: SpaceX IPO First Day Free Float Market Cap Could Be Between $440 Billion and $530 Billion
Caixin published an article titled "SpaceX's $1.75 Trillion IPO Approaches: Who Can Buy and Is It Worth It?", which points out: Wall Street has never encountered a listed company with such a massive IPO scale while simultaneously having such a complex relationship with the U.S. government. Nasdaq has previously passed a new "Fast Entry" rule, allowing newly listed companies with a market capitalization ranking among the top 40 of the Nasdaq 100 Index to be quickly included in the Nasdaq 100 within 15 trading days after listing. This rule will officially take effect on May 1, 2026, and is also considered to be designed for the upcoming SpaceX IPO, while potentially paving the way for the listings of OpenAI and Anthropic, which may occur in 2026 or 2027.Assuming SpaceX lists with a $1.75 trillion valuation and a free float ratio of 25% to 30%, the free float market cap on the first day of the IPO would be approximately between $440 billion and $530 billion. Based on the weight calculation of the Nasdaq 100, SpaceX would directly enter the top ten weighted stocks. According to market sources, the S&P 500 is also evaluating some form of "fast inclusion" plan, though details have not yet been disclosed. (Caixin)

SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic to Go Public or Raise Over $240 Billion, Potentially Impacting Crypto Market Liquidity
According to CoinDesk, SpaceX is expected to go public in June and could surpass Saudi Aramco’s $29 billion IPO in 2019 to become the largest IPO in history. Meanwhile, OpenAI and Anthropic are also planning to go public in the second half of this year. Collectively, these three companies are projected to raise over $240 billion—potentially marking a pivotal turning point for liquidity in the crypto market. Market analysts believe these mega-IPOs could significantly drain liquidity from risk assets, with the crypto market sitting in the same funding pool. As mainstream crypto assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum have closely tracked the Nasdaq and U.S. equity risk sentiment in recent years, a large-scale shift of capital toward subscribing to tech giants’ IPOs may weaken buying support for BTC, ETH, and altcoins.
