According to Cnyes News, Foxconn (鴻海) subsidiary HCM International Company plans to sell 4.337 million Galaxy Digital shares (1.11% stake) to realize gains on a 2018 investment. Separately, MoneyDJ reports Foxconn's Hongyang Venture Capital has already exited Yang Cheng Technology, booking a NT$32,063,809 realized gain.

What is HCM International Company's plan to divest its Galaxy Digital holdings?

According to a filing reported by Cnyes News, Foxconn (鴻海) subsidiary HCM International Company has announced plans to divest its holding in Galaxy Digital Inc. (GLXY-US) — 4.337 million shares, equal to a 1.11% equity stake. The filing states the purpose of the disposal is "to realize investment gains" (處分目的為實現投資利益).

What is Galaxy Digital, and when did Foxconn first invest?

Per the same Cnyes News report, Galaxy Digital was founded in 2018 and is headquartered in New York. It was originally known as a "commercial bank of the crypto world," and in recent years has expanded into AI and high-performance computing (HPC) data center infrastructure amid the growth of generative AI.

Foxconn, through HCM International Company, participated in Galaxy Digital's early-stage investment in 2018. According to Cnyes News, the rationale at the time centered on potential blockchain applications in supply chain finance, IoT security, and smart manufacturing — areas aligned with Foxconn's core electronics manufacturing business.

How large is Foxconn's cumulative stake in Galaxy Digital?

Cnyes News reports that Foxconn's cumulative holding in Galaxy Digital currently stands at US$17.2065 million (approximately NT$550 million).

What is the stated purpose of the Galaxy Digital divestment?

According to Cnyes News, the disposal's stated purpose is singular and explicit: "to realize investment gains" (實現投資利益). No further financial or strategic rationale is disclosed in the filing.

Separately, what did Hongyang Venture Capital sell in the Yang Cheng Technology transaction?

According to a filing reported by MoneyDJ, Foxconn subsidiary Hongyang Venture Capital Co., Ltd. (鴻揚創業投資) disclosed the disposal of privately placed common shares of Yang Cheng Technology Co., Ltd. (陽程科技). The transaction involved:

ItemValue
Shares sold3,836,000 shares
Price per shareNT$61.4
Total transaction amountNT$235,530,400
CounterpartyHuazhun Investment Co., Ltd. (華準投資)

MoneyDJ's filing report notes the counterparty, Huazhun Investment, is described as "a subsidiary of an equity-method investee of the company's parent" (本公司母公司之權益法被投資公司之子公司).

What gain did Hongyang Venture Capital realize, and how was it treated under IFRS 9?

Per the MoneyDJ filing, the transaction generated a realized gain of NT$32,063,809, calculated on an acquisition-cost basis and recorded in this year's unappropriated retained earnings as of the disposal date.

Under IFRS 9 accounting treatment, the filing further breaks down related reclassifications:

IFRS 9 line itemAmount
Reclassified from 114 fiscal year other equity-NT$47,171,840
Recorded as 115 fiscal year other comprehensive incomeNT$79,235,649

What was Yang Cheng Technology's per-share net asset value, and how did the sale affect Hongyang's remaining stake?

According to the MoneyDJ filing, Yang Cheng Technology's per-share net asset value was NT$37.09 at the time of the transaction. Following the sale, Hongyang Venture Capital's cumulative holding in Yang Cheng Technology fell to zero shares, with cumulative holding value of NT$0 and a 0% ownership ratio — indicating a complete exit from the position.

Was the Yang Cheng Technology sale a related-party transaction, and what was its purpose?

The MoneyDJ filing states the specific purpose of the transaction was "to realize investment gains" (實現投資利益) — the same stated rationale as the Galaxy Digital filing. The filing also explicitly discloses that this transaction constitutes a related-party transaction (本次交易為關係人交易:是), given Huazhun Investment's relationship to Foxconn's corporate structure as described above.

What this means

Both filings, one via Cnyes News covering Galaxy Digital and one via MoneyDJ covering Yang Cheng Technology, cite the identical stated purpose: "to realize investment gains." The two disposals differ in scale and disclosure detail — the Galaxy Digital filing quantifies only the cumulative holding value (US$17.2065 million) without a realized-gain figure, while the Yang Cheng Technology filing discloses a specific realized gain of NT$32,063,809 alongside full IFRS 9 reclassification detail and confirms related-party status. The Yang Cheng Technology transaction also shows a completed exit, with Hongyang Venture Capital's holding reduced to zero shares, whereas the Galaxy Digital filing describes a planned disposal of 1.11% of the position rather than a full exit.
