Argo Blockchain Secures £14 Million Loan from Galaxy Digital

Argo Blockchain, a London Stock Exchange-listed cryptocurrency mining company, has formed a solid relationship with GalaxyDigital as financing partners. The company has secured a loan of £14 million ($20 million) from Galaxy Digital HQ, which will aid in the expansion of Argo's West Texas data centre and help meet their operating cash flow requirements.

The loan agreement, for a duration of six months, allows Argo to secure competitive terms. According to Argo's CEO, Thomas Chippas, the loan facility will enable the company to continue HODLing its Bitcoin and invest in building out the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Argo's CEO, Peter Wall, expressed delight in working with GalaxyDigital. He stated, "We are excited to be partnering with Galaxy Digital, a leading institutional investor in the digital assets ecosystem. This loan facility will enable us to continue our strategy of HODLing digital assets on our balance sheet while expanding our data centre in West Texas."

The loan proceeds will also be used by Argo for purchasing and holding digital assets on their balance sheet. It's worth noting that Argo used a portion of their Bitcoin holding as collateral for the loan from Galaxy Digital. The loan agreement does not specify any restrictions on using the proceeds for purchasing and holding digital assets, nor does it require Argo to sell their Bitcoin holdings.

In March, Argo acquired a 320-acre plot of land in West Texas for the construction of a 200-megawatt crypto mining facility. The loan from GalaxyDigital will aid in the expansion of this facility, helping Argo to solidify its position in the cryptocurrency mining industry.

The due date for the loan from GalaxyDigital is December. The loan agreement does not restrict Argo from investing in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, aligning with Argo's strategy of holding digital assets on their balance sheet and expanding their operations in the sector.

This partnership between Argo Blockchain and GalaxyDigital is a significant step forward for both companies, demonstrating a growing interest in the cryptocurrency sector from institutional investors and traditional financial institutions. As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, it's expected that more partnerships like this will emerge, further legitimising the sector and driving its growth.
