Galaxy Digital has signed a 15-year naming rights agreement with Texas Tech University, renaming the football stadium to Galaxy Stadium beginning with the 2026 season. The stadium will debut under its new name on Sept. 5, 2026, when Texas Tech opens its season against Abilene Christian.
Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed. The partnership also makes Galaxy the official data center and digital assets partner of Texas Tech Athletics, with plans to collaborate on student-athlete name, image and likeness opportunities, Artificial Intelligence initiatives, and workforce development programs.
Consequently, the deal expands Galaxy’s footprint in West Texas, where it operates the Helios data center campus in nearby Dickens County, about 60 miles east of Lubbock. The site has 1.6 gigawatts of approved capacity for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing.
Meanwhile, Texas continues strengthening its position as a hub for the crypto industry. The state is home to major Bitcoin miners including Riot Platforms, Cipher Mining, Core Scientific, CleanSpark, IREN, and Hut 8.
In February, Bitcoin mining hardware maker Canaan acquired a 49% stake in three operating Texas mining facilities from Cipher Mining for nearly $40 million. Earlier this month, MARA Holdings announced plans to acquire a 2-gigawatt powered site in Texas to develop a digital infrastructure campus supporting both HPC and Bitcoin mining.
Texas has also become a focal point for crypto-backed political spending. In May, industry-affiliated political action committees spent more than $10 million supporting candidates in Texas congressional primary runoffs, with all six backed candidates winning.
Last year, Gov. Greg Abbott signed legislation creating the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. In May, state officials began transitioning the reserve’s holdings from a spot Bitcoin ETF to directly custodied bitcoin.
