The acquisition of Bitstamp is a major step in growing our crypto business,

The deal is preliminarily valued at $200 million in cash, with the closure expected in the first half of 2025 pending regulatory approval. Barclays Capital and Galaxy Digital acted as financial advisors for both parties in this agreement.
