Milton "Todd" Ault III, Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data, stated, "Our second-quarter results demonstrate the early success we have had commercializing our blockchain initiatives, with Other Revenue increasing
"Most of the products we are developing for the Ault Blockchain ecosystem have not yet been fully launched or commercialized. As we introduce activities at our Ault Markets, Inc. ("Ault Markets") subsidiary as well as additional products, we expect to create opportunities to generate software sales, transaction and tokenization fees and other recurring revenue. Our long-term objective is to build an integrated capital-markets ecosystem where users can trade, tokenize, lend against, collateralize and deploy digital and real-world assets. We believe the opportunity is substantial and that blockchain-related revenue has the potential to exceed the combined revenue generated by our other operating businesses."
Upcoming Ault Blockchain Products
The Company and its subsidiaries are developing additional products intended to operate on or interact with the Ault Blockchain protocol, including:
- Ault Markets and the Ault decentralized exchange;
- Spot trading and other digital-asset trading functionality;
- Tokenization of real-world assets, including commodities and precious metals;
- Blockchain-based payment functionality, including Bitcoin Max (BMAX), which is designed to act as a utility and transaction mechanism within the broader Ault Blockchain ecosystem;
- Lending, collateral and digital-asset vault applications; and
- Additional decentralized applications and financial products designed for the Ault Blockchain ecosystem.
These planned products and services could create revenue opportunities from software and infrastructure sales, transaction fees, tokenization and service fees, financial applications and other protocol-related economic activity. The development and commercialization of these products remain subject to successful technical completion, market adoption, liquidity, legal and regulatory review and other risks.
Ault Blockchain Platform
The Ault Blockchain Mainnet launched in March 2026. The ecosystem is organized around three principal components:
- The Ault Blockchain network, which processes transactions and hosts decentralized applications;
- A node license program, through which participants acquire network infrastructure rights and may earn distributed tokens; and
- The Ault decentralized autonomous organization ("Ault DAO"), the on-chain governance body through which licensed participants participate in the network's direction.
Ault Markets wholly owns Ault DAO LLC, the legal and corporate entity of record for the Ault DAO. The Ault DAO, which is comprised of licensed node holders, governs the Ault Blockchain network.

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 AI ecosystems and other industries. Hyperscale Data's other wholly owned subsidiary, Ault Capital Group, Inc. ("ACG"), is a hybrid private equity firm and operating company that acquires, finances, builds and actively manages businesses across financial services, digital assets, industrial services, hospitality, defense technologies and other sectors.
Hyperscale Data currently expects the divestiture of ACG (the "Divestiture") to occur in 2027. Upon the occurrence of the Divestiture, the Company would be an owner and operator of data centers to support high-performance computing services, as well as a holder of the digital assets. 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, equipment rental services, defense/aerospace, industrial, automotive and hotel operations. In addition, ACG is actively engaged in private credit and structured finance through Ault Lending, LLC, 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 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 shareholders of ACG upon the occurrence of the Divestiture.
