Galaxy收购德州500英亩AI/HPC数据中心园区并规划74MW初期容量

Galaxy Expands Data Center Footprint with Acquisition of 500 Acre Campus in McGregor, Texas
Galaxy's second data center campus in Texas will grow the Company's footprint, with the execution of a services agreement with the utility for interconnection facilities to support the campus and an initial development phase expected to reach 74 MW, which Galaxy believes has the potential to grow into a multi-hundred-megawatt campus
Advances Galaxy's multi-campus strategy to meet surging demand for high-performance computing
The privately funded campus will add to the local tax base and create new jobs, building on Galaxy's track record as the largest employer and taxpayer in Dickens County
MCGREGOR, Texas, 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.
