Hyperscale Data Has Ceased Bitcoin Mining Operations in Michigan as It Fulfills the Requirements of the AI Data Center Master Services Agreement Expected to be Worth Approximately $1.2 Billion

Hyperscale Data (GPUS) has stopped all Bitcoin mining at its Michigan data center as of September 1, 2026 to prepare for an AI data center deployment under a previously announced master services agreement (MSA) with a California-based neocloud customer.

Rhea-AI Summary

Hyperscale Data (GPUS) has stopped all Bitcoin mining at its Michigan data center as of September 1, 2026 to prepare for an AI data center deployment under a previously announced master services agreement (MSA) with a California-based neocloud customer.

The MSA covers 20 MW of AI compute capacity over an initial 10-year term with two optional five-year extensions, and is expected to generate more than $1.2 billion in revenue if carried through the maximum term. The customer also holds an option for an additional 32 MW, which, if exercised within the first two years and extended for the same duration, would increase expected total contract revenue to over $3.0 billion.

Hyperscale Data anticipates about 340 MW of eventual total power capacity at the facility and estimates that full use of the MSA options would require no more than roughly 20% of that capacity, leaving about 80% for additional customers and future AI expansion, subject to successful development of the planned capacity. The company also expects additional gains from the intended sale of its Bitcoin mining servers and continues to plan a 2027 divestiture of Ault Capital Group via exchange of previously issued Series F Preferred Stock.

Key Terms

master services agreement, megawatts

2 terms

master services agreement financial

"pursuant to the previously announced master services agreement"

A master services agreement is a standing contract that sets the main terms, responsibilities, pricing framework and processes for future work between two parties, allowing individual projects or orders to be added later without renegotiating core terms. For investors, it signals predictability and reduced legal friction around revenue streams and costs—like a subscription plan for services that makes future income and obligations easier to forecast and value.

megawatts technical

"provides for the deployment of 20 megawatts"

A megawatt is a measure of electrical power equal to one million watts, describing how much electricity a plant or device can generate or use at a single moment. Investors use megawatts to compare the size and earning potential of energy projects—larger capacity usually means more electricity to sell—much like comparing the horsepower of engines to judge how much work they can do. Knowing megawatts helps assess scale, revenue potential, and grid impact of energy assets.

Master Services Agreement Has Expansion Potential of up to Approximately $3 Billion Using Approximately 20% of the Potential 340 Megawatts of Total Eventual Power Capacity at the Michigan Data Center 

LAS VEGAS, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), an artificial intelligence ("AI") data center company anchored by Bitcoin ("Hyperscale Data" or the "Company"), today announced that it has ceased all Bitcoin mining operations at its Michigan data center (the "Facility") and was undertaken as the Company is preparing the Facility for deployment of its customer's AI data center infrastructure pursuant to the previously announced master services agreement ("MSA").

The Company recently announced that the MSA with its California-based neocloud provider (the "Customer"), which provides for the deployment of 20 megawatts ("MW"), has an initial term of 10 years with two five-year extension options that may be exercised by the Customer (collectively, the "Maximum Term"). If exercised for the Maximum Term, the MSA is expected to generate in excess of $1.2 billion in revenue. The MSA provides the Customer with a right to an additional 32 MW of critical AI compute capacity which, if exercised within the first two years of the initial term and continues through the two five-year extension options, is expected to result in total contract revenue in excess of $3.0 billion.

Following the Customer's inspection of the Facility and continued progress of the Company's enhancement of the Facility, including engineering design and equipment procurement, Hyperscale Data and the Customer agreed that the Company immediately terminate the Company's Bitcoin mining operations at the Facility to further the Company's preparation of the Facility for its transition to AI data center operations.  Effective as of September 1, 2026, all Bitcoin miners have been turned off. 

Importantly, the Company believes that the existing MSA represents only a portion of the long-term potential of the Facility. Even if the Customer fully exercises its options for the additional power for the Maximum Term, the Company estimates that the associated deployment would require no more than approximately 20% of the approximately 340 MW of power capacity ultimately anticipated to be available at the Facility. Accordingly, the Company would retain the ability to enable the development of approximately 80% of the expected power capacity available for additional customers and future AI data center expansion, subject to the successful development and availability of the planned power capacity.

The Company believes that this remaining capacity represents substantial additional potential beyond the existing MSA and provides Hyperscale Data with the opportunity to continue expanding the Facility as demand for AI computing infrastructure grows.

"We are pleased with the continued progress we are making at the Facility," stated William Horne, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. "The immediate shutdown of the Bitcoin mining operations allows our team to focus the Facility's power, infrastructure and resources in preparing the Facility for its usage by our Customer. Further, as the expansion of the Facility to support AI computing infrastructure progresses, it is my belief that our stockholders will be rewarded as the Company's market capitalization, which currently trades at a significant discount to other data center companies, begins to normalize in comparison to its available contracted power capacity.  In fact, earlier this year, VanEck's head of digital asset research stated that Bitcoin mining companies, like ours, that could repurpose existing sites for AI were 'sitting on a gold mine' because they were trading at a steep discount to traditional data center companies."

The Company believes transitioning the Facility away from Bitcoin mining, which has been completed, will enable it to dedicate available electrical capacity, physical infrastructure, personnel and capital resources to support its Customer's operations and the continued expansion of the Facility to ultimately meet the demanding needs of the growing AI industry. In addition, the Company expects to recognize additional gains from its intended sale of the associated Bitcoin mining servers.

The Company cautions you that these expansion concepts remain preliminary and subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that such expansion capacity will ultimately be available, developed, financed, approved, economically viable or otherwise initiated or continued.
