Weekly Reporting of $XRP Acquisitions to Begin August 12, 2025

LAS VEGAS, July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), a diversified holding company ("Hyperscale Data" or the "Company"), today clarified that its previously announced intention to acquire up to $10 million of $XRP would remain solely on the balance sheet of Hyperscale Data and not be owned by Ault Capital Group, Inc. ("ACG"). As previously reported, Hyperscale Data currently expects to divest itself of ACG (the "Divestiture") on or about December 31, 2025, though there can be no assurance that the Divestiture will be completed during 2025. ACG intends to initiate its own $XRP accumulation strategy and the Company will provide stockholders with an update on ACG's $XRP acquisition strategy and previously announced $XRP lending platform in the coming months.

"We wanted to clarify for our stockholders that this $XRP acquired will be a Hyperscale Data asset, even after the planned Divestiture of ACG," said Milton "Todd" Ault III, Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data. "Hyperscale Data is continuing on its path to becoming a pureplay data center business and we believe this $XRP acquisition strategy will be a key part of the Company's overall treasury strategy."

About Hyperscale Data, Inc.

Through its wholly owned subsidiary Sentinum, Inc., Hyperscale Data owns and operates a data center at which it mines digital assets and offers colocation and hosting services for the emerging artificial intelligence ("AI") ecosystems and other industries. Hyperscale Data's other wholly owned subsidiary, ACG, is a diversified holding company pursuing growth by acquiring undervalued businesses and disruptive technologies with a global impact.

Hyperscale Data currently expects the Divestiture to occur on or about December 31, 2025, though there can be no assurance that the Divestiture will be completed during 2025. Upon the occurrence of the Divestiture, the Company would solely be an owner and operator of data centers to support high-performance computing services, though it may at that time continue to operate in the digital asset space as described in the Company's filings with the SEC. Until the Divestiture occurs, the Company will continue to provide, through ACG and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries and strategic investments, mission-critical products that support a diverse range of industries, including an AI software platform, social gaming platform, equipment rental services, defense/aerospace, industrial, automotive, medical/biopharma and hotel operations. In addition, ACG is actively engaged in private credit and structured finance through a licensed lending subsidiary. Hyperscale Data's headquarters are located at 11411 Southern Highlands Parkway, Suite 190, Las Vegas, NV 89141.

On December 23, 2024, the Company issued one million (1,000,000) shares of a newly designated Series F Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the "Series F Preferred Stock") to all common stockholders and holders of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis. The Divestiture will occur through the voluntary exchange of the Series F Preferred Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of ACG (collectively, the "ACG Shares"). The Company reminds its stockholders that only those holders of the Series F Preferred Stock who agree to surrender such shares, and do not properly withdraw such surrender, in the exchange offer through which the Divestiture will occur, will be entitled to receive the ACG Shares and consequently be stockholders of ACG upon the occurrence of the Divestiture.
