Galaxy's new business unit, dubbed Galaxy Digital Mining, aims to offer “one-stop financial services” for miners, according to a statement published Friday. Amanda Fabiano, who previously served as Fidelity Digital Assets's Director of Bitcoin Mining, will lead the unit.

"Bitcoin mining is the foundation of the Bitcoin network. By mining ourselves, we are able to deeply understand and solve for the financial needs of miners, while also enhancing the strength of the industry and thus the strength of the Bitcoin network,” Fabiano said in the statement.
