美国德州要求数据中心承担电力成本,Galaxy等三家公司承诺遵守新监管标准

Odaily星球日报讯 美国得州州长 Greg Abbott 宣布,Galaxy Digital、Compass Datacenters 和 Montera Infrastructure 已承诺遵守得州针对数据中心建设制定的新标准和监管要求。 据悉,相关指导方针正在被全州数据中心项目执行,旨在确保数据中心扩张不会增加居民负担,不影响电网稳定、水资源供应以及社区生活质量。根据新规,数据中心运营商需满足多项要求,包括:自行承担电力基础设施成本,不得将建设和运营成本转嫁给得州家庭及小企业;实现自身用水循环利用,降低对公共水资源压力;采取措施降低整体电力成本;避免干扰住宅社区,减少噪音、光照和交通影响;减少对政府补贴和纳税人资金的依赖,实现项目自负盈亏。 此外,得州公共事业委员会(PUCT)和电力可靠性委员会(ERCOT)将对数据中心项目进行审核,要求企业披露项目所有权结构、政府补贴情况、电力需求预测、自建电源计划、水资源使用方案以及社区影响缓解措施。

Hut 8 settles securities class action lawsuit for $2.35 million; Galaxy makes strategic investment in digital asset lending platform Digital Prime Technologies.

According to Mars Finance and BBX data, two leading listed companies in the cryptocurrency sector completed key historical settlements and strategic upgrades yesterday. The key developments are as follows: Hut 8 Corp. (Nasdaq: $HUT) officially disclosed on June 23 that it agreed to pay investors $2.35 million in cash to settle a securities class-action lawsuit stemming from its 2023 acquisition of US Bitcoin Corp (USBTC). The case was heard in the Southern District of New York Federal District Court. The plaintiffs were investors who held Hut 8 securities between February 13, 2023, and January 18, 2024. The core allegation was that the company made significant omissions in disclosing infrastructure issues (including power rationing and network connectivity failures) at its King Mountain Texas Bitcoin mining farm during the acquisition process, constituting material misrepresentation to investors. The trigger for this case was a critical report released by short firm J Capital Research on January 18, 2024, which caused Hut 8's stock price to plummet by over 23% that day. The $2.35 million settlement represents approximately 19.6% of the plaintiff's estimated maximum recoverable damages of $12.08 million, exceeding the historical median settlement rate for similar cases involving only Securities Act claims. The settlement still requires final court approval, and Hut 8 denies any wrongdoing or legal liability. This settlement removes the last major historical legal suspense in the company's AI/HPC data center transformation narrative—allowing the valuation logic for the on-time delivery of its River Bend ($7 billion contract) and Beacon Point ($9.8 billion contract) dual campuses this year to unfold against a cleaner balance sheet backdrop. Galaxy Digital Inc. (Nasdaq: $GLXY) announced on June 23 a strategic investment in Digital Prime Technologies (a securities lending technology platform), with specific financial terms undisclosed. This investment builds upon Galaxy's existing role as a participant in the Tokenet platform—developed by Digital Prime Technologies in partnership with institutional securities lending infrastructure provider EquiLend, Tokenet officially launched in May 2026, aiming to introduce mature workflows, risk control mechanisms, and full lifecycle management systems from the institutional securities lending sector to the digital asset lending market. Galaxy's upgrade from a platform participant to an equity investor directly binds Tokenet platform operations to its own institutional lending and trading businesses, creating a triple synergy of "product + balance sheet + equity." This move aligns perfectly with Galaxy's overall business strategy: building upon the stable cash flow from its 15-year AI data center lease with CoreWeave (Phase 1 133MW delivered in April), Galaxy further reduces its reliance on a single Bitcoin price beta by deepening its institutional digital asset lending infrastructure footprint. On the same day, Galaxy was also listed in an institutional research report as one of the few crypto stocks capable of maintaining business resilience during a Bitcoin price downturn; its diversified portfolio is considered the core reason for its relative decoupling from pure BTC price exposure.

Morgan Stanley and Galaxy Digital have reached an agreement to lower the minimum investment threshold for cryptocurrency-to-ETP (Enterprise Transfer Program) referrals to $5 million. Bitdeer sold all of its 205.3 BTC generated this week, maintaining a zero-holding strategy.

According to BBX data, last week saw the simultaneous expansion of institutional crypto infrastructure and the divergence in cash flow management models among mining companies. Key developments include: Morgan Stanley (NYSE: $MS) Wealth Management and Galaxy Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: $GLXY) officially announced a referral agreement on June 5th. This agreement allows Morgan Stanley's qualified high-net-worth clients to lend their directly held BTC, ETH, or SOL to Galaxy Digital. Galaxy, acting as an Authorized Participant (AP), will create physical shares and directly transfer the corresponding spot crypto ETP shares (including Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust, NYSE Arca: $MSBT) to the client's brokerage account. The converted ETP shares can be used as collateral for account financing. Key parameters: Galaxy Digital has lowered the minimum transaction threshold for Morgan Stanley's referral clients from $25 million to $5 million, significantly expanding the coverage of qualified high-net-worth clients. Traditionally, similar institutional transactions typically take more than four weeks to complete; the new mechanism can shorten the entire process by up to 75%. The legal basis for this collaboration is the SEC's approval in July 2025 of the physical conversion mechanism for crypto assets into ETFs, allowing direct physical transfers between directly held crypto assets and spot crypto ETFs. Morgan Stanley's $MSBT is one of the first products to benefit from this. Bitdeer Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: $BTDR) produced 205.3 BTC in Bitcoin mining during the week ending June 5, 2026, and sold 205.3 BTC during the same period, resulting in a net increase of 0 BTC. Its current BTC holdings remain at zero, continuing its "production-as-sale" cash flow management strategy. The proceeds from the sale will be used to support the R&D of its SEALMINER mining hardware product line and the expansion of its hash power hosting services. Bitdeer's zero-position model stands in stark contrast to mining companies like CleanSpark, Inc. (NASDAQ: $CLSK) (holding approximately 13,561 BTC) and MARA Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: $MARA) (holding approximately 35,303 BTC), which have been continuously accumulating Bitcoin. This represents another financially rational path for mining companies during a BTC price downturn: exchanging immediate monetization for stable operating cash flow to avoid the impact of single-asset price fluctuations on their balance sheets.
