Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz says bear markets are for building

Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz believes that bear markets are ideal opportunities to keep building. According to his recent tweet, the cryptocurrency mogul remains a long-term Bitcoin fan.

Earlier today, it was reported that Argo Blockchain had agreed to sell Helios, its Dickens County, Texas-based mining facility, to Galaxy Digital for $65 million to avoid filing for bankruptcy. In addition, Galaxy will refinance Argo’s debt. The transaction is expected to be finalized by the end of this month.

Novogratz sees the company’s purchase of Helios as an important step toward building a decentralized future. In addition to expanding Galaxys mining capabilities, the acquisition will also give them the ability to host other miners.

The company began mining bitcoin in 2021 and has outsourced much of its operations to hosting providers during this time. According to Novogratz, they have always been open to transferring their minors to sites owned by Galaxy Digital and Helios allows them to do so.

Novogratz presented a simple thesis for success in mining: secure low-cost electricity and buy low-cost ASIC machines. By integrating its operations with Helios, it could benefit from these advantages.

The purchase aligns with Galaxy’s goal of building a large cryptocurrency ecosystem that now leverages capabilities through Helios.
