A Backdoor Way to Invest in Bitcoin (at a Discount)?
We don’t give investment advice here at CoinSnacks, but we do like to point out anomalies. One of which has come across our plate recently. It involves a company that we often write about: Galaxy Digital (TSXV: GLXY). Galaxy Digital is a publicly traded merchant bank dedicated to the crypto industry and founded by Mike Novogratz.
Why is it worth a second look? - It trades for less than book value (at IPO it was trading for 2.5x book value)
- Novogratz and the company are continuously buying back shares
- The Company has been conditionally approved to up-list onto the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX)
There is a lot of convoluted share structure involved and, of course, anything could happen... but we aren't seeing this covered anywhere in the media.
If you are looking for a backdoor way to "play" Bitcoin, this is worth your attention. Do your own diligence.
