[SCHEDULE 13G] Galaxy Digital Inc. SEC Filing

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

The Vanguard Group filed a passive Schedule 13G showing beneficial ownership of 14,026,571 Galaxy Digital Inc. (GLXY) common shares as of 30 Jun 2025. The holding represents 8.49 % of the outstanding stock, requiring disclosure under Rule 13d-1. Vanguard reports no sole or shared voting power, indicating the position is strictly investment-oriented. It does, however, hold 13.96 m shares with sole dispositive authority and 63.8 k shares with shared dispositive power, allowing it to sell but not vote the securities. The stake is held across Vanguard-managed funds and accounts in the ordinary course of business, with no intent to influence control of the issuer. Vanguard classifies itself as an investment adviser (IA) for filing purposes. The form was signed by Ashley Grim, Head of Global Fund Administration, on 29 Jul 2025.

Positive

• Vanguard Group now controls 8.49 % of GLXY’s outstanding shares (14.0 m), increasing high-quality institutional ownership.

Negative

• Vanguard disclosed zero voting power, limiting any potential governance support or activist influence for existing shareholders.

Insights

Portfolio Manager

TL;DR: Vanguard’s 8.5 % passive stake signals stronger institutional sponsorship for GLXY.

Vanguard’s disclosure that it now owns 14.0 m Galaxy Digital shares (8.49 %) materially increases the company’s institutional ownership profile. Although Vanguard exercises no voting power, its sizable dispositive power provides liquidity support and can reduce float volatility. Passive accumulation by a top asset manager often broadens analyst coverage and index inclusion opportunities, potentially narrowing the bid-ask spread and lowering the firm’s cost of capital. Because the filing is 13G (not 13D), it conveys no activist intent; thus, near-term governance or strategic shifts are unlikely. Overall, the development is modestly positive for shareholder perception.

Corporate Governance Specialist

TL;DR: Zero voting rights limit Vanguard’s influence despite large share count.

From a governance standpoint, Vanguard’s admission of 0 voting power means the fund complex will not participate in board elections or proposals, muting its ability to advocate for change. The issuer gains no reliable supportive vote from this 8.49 % block, and other shareholders should not expect Vanguard to intervene in controversies. Nonetheless, the presence of a reputable passive owner can still enhance credibility and signal alignment with broad-market best practices. Impact is therefore neutral-to-positive but not transformative.
