Hyperscale Data Provides Update on Progress of Michigan AI Data Center; More Than $70 Million Invested in Alliance Cloud Services and the Michigan Facility
The Michigan AI data center underpins a long-term AI hosting MSA with multi‑billion‑dollar revenue potential and substantial unused expansion capacity.
Rhea-AI Summary
Hyperscale Data (GPUS) announced it has invested more than $70 million in Alliance Cloud Services and its Michigan AI data center. The spending covers a substantial portion of the capital needed to launch 20 MW of contracted AI compute capacity for a California-based neocloud customer under a previously signed master services agreement (MSA), with operations targeted to begin in November 2026 and revenue and cash flow expected from that point. The MSA runs an initial 10-year term with two five-year extensions and is expected to generate more than $1.2 billion in revenue over a full 20-year term, potentially exceeding $3.0 billion if the customer exercises its option to scale up to 52 MW.
The Michigan Facility has approximately 340 MW of potential capacity, so a full 52 MW deployment would leave about 270 MW available for future customers, subject to securing power, infrastructure, financing and regulatory approvals. Hyperscale Data is also evaluating strategic options for Alliance Cloud Services and the Michigan Facility, including further development, partnerships, additional customer deployments, a separation or IPO of ACS, or a sale of the facility. Separately, the company continues to plan the 2027 divestiture of Ault Capital Group via exchange of Series F Exchangeable Preferred Stock into ACG shares, available only to holders who validly surrender and do not withdraw their Series F shares in the exchange offer.

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 and the third wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Omnipresent Robotics, LLC. 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.

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.
