Galaxy Digital Founder: SEC Makes It Difficult to Complete the $1.2 Billion Merger Plan with BitGo in 2021
Mike Novogratz, the founder of Galaxy Digital, stated in court at the Delaware Chancery Court that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) made it very difficult for the company’s $1.2 billion merger plan with BitGo in 2021. This merger was the largest cryptocurrency merger plan at the time. Galaxy Digital canceled the deal in August 2022, and BitGo is seeking $100 million in termination fees from Galaxy Digital.
Mike Novogratz indicated that regulatory approval was unlikely to be achieved and that BitGo failed to provide the required financial information on time, thus losing the right to the $100 million termination fee. BitGo CEO Mike Belshe stated that BitGo had provided all necessary information. The trial is expected to conclude this week, and the judge will decide whether BitGo is entitled to the $100 million fee.
