Hyperscale Data Kicks Off Significant Build-Out at Michigan Campus to Power NVIDIA Blackwell Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure
Rhea-AI Summary
Hyperscale Data (NYSE American: GPUS) has initiated a strategic conversion of its Michigan Data Center to support expanded AI infrastructure, specifically for NVIDIA Blackwell systems. The facility, spanning 34.5 acres with a 617,000-square-foot data center building and 28 megawatts of power capacity, will maintain a dual-use model supporting both Bitcoin mining and AI operations.
The company currently operates 16 NVIDIA GPU-equipped servers in a dedicated data hall, which will remain active during the enhancement process. The expansion represents a strategic shift from single-purpose blockchain mining to a multi-layered digital infrastructure hub, with Bitcoin mining operations continuing uninterrupted during the AI infrastructure deployment.

Insights
Hyperscale Data's dual-purpose facility conversion leverages existing infrastructure for AI compute expansion while maintaining bitcoin mining operations.
Hyperscale Data's strategic pivot to convert portions of its Michigan facility for AI computing represents a significant business evolution that merges two high-demand computing workloads under one roof. The company is leveraging its substantial physical assets—34.5 acres with a 617,000-square-foot data center drawing 28 megawatts of power—to create a dual-purpose facility supporting both cryptocurrency mining and AI workloads.
What makes this conversion technically feasible is the compatibility of power and cooling infrastructure between high-density blockchain operations and AI compute clusters. Both workloads require substantial electricity and thermal management, allowing Hyperscale to repurpose existing systems rather than building from scratch. The company's approach of maintaining 16 NVIDIA GPU servers during renovation demonstrates operational continuity while preparing for advanced NVIDIA Blackwell infrastructure.
The phased implementation strategy minimizes revenue disruption, as bitcoin mining continues generating cash flow during the AI infrastructure buildout. This dual-revenue approach addresses a critical challenge in data center economics—maximizing return on fixed infrastructure investments through workload diversification.
This conversion mirrors an industry-wide trend where single-purpose mining facilities are evolving into multi-workload compute hubs. The economics make sense: high-power, large-footprint facilities initially built for cryptocurrency mining can be partially repurposed for AI training and inference, potentially providing more stable revenue streams alongside the volatility-prone mining operations.
The Michigan Facility sits on 34.5 acres, utilizes approximately 28 megawatts and includes a 617,000-square-foot data center building, providing the scale and flexibility to support both Bitcoin mining and advanced AI compute in the same location. This dual-use model follows a proven playbook, where blockchain infrastructure and AI can successfully coexist under one roof.
Current AI operations include 16 servers populated with NVIDIA graphics processing units housed in a dedicated data hall, which will remain active during the site enhancements. The Company has also begun preparations to install the latest NVIDIA Blackwell servers as part of the phased buildout. Importantly, Bitcoin mining operations will continue uninterrupted while the new AI infrastructure is deployed, ensuring ongoing revenue generation as Hyperscale Data scales into AI.
"Our Michigan Facility is well positioned for growth," said William Horne, Chief Executive Officer of Hyperscale Data. "With 34.5 acres and more than 600,000 square feet of capacity, we can both maintain our Bitcoin mining operations and deploy next-generation NVIDIA Blackwell systems. This first phase of the conversion underscores our vision of building one of the leading dual-use AI and blockchain compute facilities in
Hyperscale Data's conversion efforts reflect broader industry momentum, where facilities are evolving from single purpose blockchain mining sites into multi-layered digital infrastructure hubs. By leveraging its scale, location, and technical expertise, the Company aims to deliver secure, scalable compute power for enterprises, AI workloads, and blockchain systems.

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 diversified holding company pursuing growth by acquiring undervalued businesses and disruptive technologies with a global impact.
Hyperscale Data currently expects the divestiture of ACG (the "Divestiture") to occur in the first quarter of 2026. 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, 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,
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.
