Lawsuit Against Galaxy Digital

BitGo successfully executed its intentions to sue Galaxy Digital for the cancellation of its acquisition and merger agreement last year. Notably, Galaxy Digital suspended its plans in August of last year, following BitGo’s months-long search for an appropriate buyer.

The initial idea was to buy BitGo for $1.2 billion, which would be paid for using both shares as well as stocks. Galaxy Digital stated the firm’s failure to submit audited financial accounts from the previous year, which had been included in the deal’s conditions, as the reason for its backing to buy BitGo.
