July 28, 2026
/PRNewswire/ --
Galaxy Digital Inc.
(Nasdaq: GLXY) ("Galaxy" or the "Company") today announced that it has acquired approximately 500 acres in
McGregor
,
McLennan County, Texas
, pursuant to a development agreement with the
City of McGregor
(the "City") for the construction and operation of an artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) data center campus within the
McGregor Industrial Park
. The campus will be the Company's second major data center investment in the state, building on its 1.6-gigawatt flagship Helios campus in
West Texas
.
"We've spent the last several years proving in
Dickens County
that a privately funded data center can be a real, long-term partner to a rural community, adding to the tax base, funding local infrastructure, and creating jobs," said
Mike Novogratz
, Founder and CEO of Galaxy. "
McGregor
is the next step in our strategy to build a disciplined, multi-campus data center business. The demand for compute is a structural shift, not a passing cycle, and we believe the right way to meet it is by building infrastructure that strengthens the communities that host it."
The campus will be located in
McGregor's
Industrial Park
and developed in collaboration with the
McGregor Economic Development Corporation
(MEDC) and
Heart of Texas Electric Cooperative
(HOTEC). Galaxy's purchase of the 500-acre site provided approximately
$7.5 million
in land-sale revenue to the City.
Galaxy is also advancing electrical infrastructure required to support the campus and has secured an initial agreement from the utility to support construction of the utility's required interconnection facilities. An initial phase of development is expected to reach 74 MW. Galaxy plans to coordinate with the utility to support development above the 75 MW large load threshold in
ERCOT
. The Company currently expects the initial phase of the campus to begin receiving power in 2028, with operations ramping thereafter, subject to the completion of development milestones. Following the development and completion of additional transmission infrastructure by the utility, Galaxy believes the
McGregor
campus has the potential to grow into a multi-hundred-megawatt campus through 2030.
Underscoring its broader commitment to being an active, engaged partner in the
McGregor
community, Galaxy has committed to the following under the development agreement throughout construction and operation of the proposed campus:
Galaxy will build its own private substation.
Pursuant to the development agreement, Galaxy will fund and build a private electrical substation on the campus, and it will provide full financial security as required by the utility for incidental upgrades to local infrastructure. This is intended to insulate rate payers from costs associated with electrical infrastructure required to support the campus development.
The project will add to the local tax base.
Galaxy will carry its full tax obligations to the City from day one, adding an estimated minimum of
$130 million
to the local property tax base that supports schools, emergency services, and other community needs.
The campus will use water-efficient cooling.
Just like its Helios data center campus, the facility will use a closed-loop cooling system that recirculates water internally, keeping water use low. Galaxy will fund additional water infrastructure required for the project as provided in the development agreement.
The project will create local jobs.
Construction is expected to support several hundred trade partners and construction jobs, with permanent full-time operations roles to follow at competitive annual salaries agreed to with the City in the development agreement.
A proven
Texas
track record
Galaxy acquired Helios in
Dickens County
,
West Texas
, in 2022 and has transformed it into one of the largest AI and HPC data center campuses in
North America
, with more than 1.6 GW of
ERCOT
-approved power capacity and a long-term anchor lease. In
Dickens County
, Galaxy is the largest employer and taxpayer and an active investor in the community, supporting community recreation and public safety, expanding local broadband, and building workforce pipelines with local schools.
The
McGregor
campus is Galaxy's second in
Texas
and a first concrete step in a strategy the Company has laid out publicly: building a disciplined, multi-campus data center business to meet what Galaxy views as a structural, long-term increase in demand for AI and high-performance computing.
Galaxy is committed to being a good neighbor and an active community member everywhere it builds and operates. Galaxy will continue to share information with the community as the campus moves through construction and into operation. The Company looks forward to growing together with
McGregor
in the years ahead.
