If you’re into cryptocurrencies, you’ve probably heard of Mike Novogratz. He’s the CEO of Galaxy Digital a crypto trading firm that posted a record and mind-exploding profit of $728 million in Q3 2025. It also launched a new retail app, GalaxyOne, which helps individual investors like yours truly with high-yield savings accounts and a single place to manage both their crypto and equities investments.
Novogratz has been vocal about GalaxyOne’s mission, which is to use his company’s institutional-quality infrastructure and make it available to the public, advancing his aspirations to build more accessible financial products for everyone. He’s putting new technical resources behind GalaxyOne through a new datacenter he’s building in a recycled Texas bitcoin mining operation; an effort he hopes will not only help GalaxyOne’s small investors but also accelerate the growth of AI.
Through his philanthropic vehicle, Galaxy Gives, Novogratz continued to be a major funder of criminal justice reform in 2025. He’s got a long history here, working to reduce unfair incarceration and promoting social equity.
