Ferraro Christopher C 4

What Happened
Christopher C. Ferraro, President and Chief Investment Officer of Galaxy Digital, received an award of 174,262 restricted stock units (RSUs) on February 3, 2026. The award is an equity compensation grant (transaction code A); there is no purchase price reported. Each RSU represents the right to one share of the company’s Class A common stock upon vesting. Per the filing, 57,506 of the newly granted RSUs are scheduled to vest on March 1, 2027, with the remainder vesting in eight equal quarterly installments thereafter. All RSU awards are subject to continued service through each vesting date.

• Total RSUs noted: Form indicates 444,297 shares of Class A common stock to be delivered in settlement of RSUs (this figure reflects outstanding RSU settlements including the new grant and prior awards).

Context
This was an equity compensation grant (not a market buy or sale), so it does not represent an immediate change in outstanding shares until RSUs vest and are settled. Such awards are standard executive compensation and are different from open‑market purchases (which some investors view as a more direct bullish signal). The filing appears timely (filed two days after the grant date).
