STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP PROPOSAL — MARCH 2026

The Opportunity

Galaxy Owns the Institutional
Narrative. Now Own the Room.

Galaxy Research moves markets. GalaxyOne opens retail. Helios powers the future. But the cultural venue—where clients, builders, and press converge in person—is unclaimed. Until now.

GalaxyOne Needs a Stage

Retail launches need physical touchpoints. Every major fintech brand has one—Galaxy doesn’t yet. PubKey is the launchpad: a live venue where new products meet real users.

Launch venue

Helios Needs a Voice

1.6 GW of power. The largest Bitcoin mining and AI infrastructure portfolio in the world. The story needs to be told where energy, compute, and policy minds overlap.

1.6 GW

Galaxy Brains Needs an Audience

Alex Thorn’s research podcast is best-in-class. Now imagine it live—in front of 80 people at PubKey, streamed to thousands, clipped into 20+ assets.

Live + digital
The Engine

We Built the Stage.
The Numbers Prove It.

PubKey has been building NYC’s Bitcoin community since late 2022. Three years of operations. Two cities. The machine is running.

Four Pillars

Every Event Has a Home.

Four content pillars cover Galaxy’s full platform. Each pillar gets three events across the year—deep enough to build audience, broad enough to cover the portfolio.

Energy & Mining

Helios, Bitcoin mining economics, energy infrastructure, grid innovation, the intersection of proof-of-work and real-world power systems.

3 Events

Compute & AI

Data centers, GPU compute, AI inference, the convergence of Bitcoin mining infrastructure and AI workloads. Galaxy’s Helios story.

3 Events

Bitcoin Policy

Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, regulatory frameworks, institutional adoption, sovereign wealth strategies. DC-centric, policy-forward.

3 Events

Galaxy Ecosystem

GalaxyOne launches, Galaxy Research deep dives, portfolio showcases, Galaxy Brains live recordings. The full platform on stage.

3 Events
Formats

Not a Panel Series.
A Content Engine.

Five distinct formats keep the series dynamic. Every event is engineered for both live energy and post-production value.

🎙
Galaxy Keynote
Galaxy exec or researcher delivers a thesis. 30-min keynote + 30-min moderated Q&A + VIP reception.
4/Year
🔍
The Deep Dive
Technical panel, 3–4 experts, Galaxy leads speaker curation. 15-min framing + 45-min panel + 20-min audience Q&A.
4/Year
🎧
Galaxy Brains LIVE
Alex Thorn hosts the flagship podcast in front of a live audience at PubKey. 60-min recording + audience interaction.
2/Year
🌟
The Signal Show

1/Year
👥
The Roundtable
Invite-only, 20-person closed-door. Galaxy selects guest list. No cameras. 3-hour seated dinner format.
1/Year

This isn’t Downtown Sessions. Different tone (technical + high-energy), different topics (mining, AI, Galaxy ecosystem), different formats (live podcast, variety show, closed-door dinners), and a single title sponsor—Galaxy exclusive.

Content Machine

One Event. A Month of Distribution.

Every event is a production. Multi-camera filming, professional editing, and a distribution pipeline that turns 90 minutes into 30 days of content.

We Know You

This Isn’t Generic.

We built this proposal around Galaxy’s actual 2026 priorities, competitive position, and marketing needs. Here’s what we see.

🎯

GalaxyOne Launch Window

Retail crypto platforms live and die on brand trust. The Signal Series gives GalaxyOne a physical home—a place where new users can see the team, hear the thesis, and ask questions in person. No other crypto platform has this.

Helios as Narrative Weapon

1.6 GW of mining and data center capacity is the most compelling story in Bitcoin infrastructure. But it’s technical and hard to communicate. The Energy & Mining pillar turns complex infrastructure into accessible, shareable content.

🎧

Galaxy Brains Amplification

Alex Thorn’s podcast is already best-in-class. Live recordings at PubKey add a visual dimension, create shareable clips, and build audience crossover between Galaxy Research and the broader builder community.

📈

Competitive White Space

Coinbase has Stand With Crypto. Grayscale has sponsorship deals. Bitwise has ETF marketing. None of them have a cultural venue partnership. Galaxy can own this category before anyone else moves.

📅

Why Now

Crypto bull market. GalaxyOne launching. Helios scaling. Bitcoin policy momentum in DC. PubKey DC just opened. The timing for a year-long, two-city content partnership has never been better.

Next Step

Let’s Build.

Three steps from here to Event One.

1

Align — Confirm strategic objectives, content pillars, and success metrics

2

Design — Lock speakers, calendar, and production plan for all 12 events

3

Launch — Execute Event 1 and start building the content library

2–4 Weeks

We’re ready when you are.
