Q: I've owned GLXY for a while. The last time Bitcoin was at the $50K level, GLXY was significantly higher (roughly $26-27). Any reasons why there is such a difference in the performance given where bitcoin is today? Given the halving is occuring in April, which is typically positive for the price of bitcoin, I would have expected a higher SP. Perhaps there's a catchup trade in the future?

5i Research Answer:

The direction (momentum) is what matters most in this context. When BTC first crossed $50K in February 2021, GLXY traded between today's levels and ~$20. Then as BTC hit above $50K and hovered around those levels, GLXY saw continued inflows and demand from investors. 

Since 2021, GLXY has diluted its share count by around 20%, and its financials deteriorated during the bear market over the past few years, but have since been climbing back. There is a lag between the price of crypto stocks (miners, exchanges) and BTC itself due to the price of BTC being real-time, and the financial data from crypto stocks being available only on a quarterly basis. Crypto stocks and BTC move closely, but not completely in tandem. We expect crypto stocks can see faster appreciation once BTC nears its all-time highs.
