The Agreement formalizes AGC's relationship with Scottsdale Mint, a leader in its industry that produces high quality custom silver, gold and other precious metals products for large bullion dealers and investors in the world. The Agreement relates primarily to the acquisition of silver, gold, platinum, palladium, and rare earth minerals. It builds directly on Hyperscale Data's February 2026 announcement of a Strategic Silver Reserve Program and complements the Company's established Bitcoin treasury strategy.
Hyperscale Data views its long-term accumulation of physical precious metals and rare earth minerals as a complementary real-world asset treasury reserve that enhances balance sheet resilience and creates tangible stockholder value alongside its Bitcoin holdings.
"Building on our successful Bitcoin treasury strategy, we believe a long-term precious metals and rare earth minerals treasury provides meaningful real-world asset exposure and additional stockholder value," stated Milton "Todd" Ault III, Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data. "This partnership with Scottsdale Mint strengthens our ability to accumulate these strategic commodities prudently and securely within the Hyperscale Data ecosystem."
"Scottsdale Mint is the ideal partner for AGC's treasury mandate," added Jason Bartholomew, President of AGC. "Its expertise in large-scale bullion transactions are expected to enable us to efficiently build and manage a diversified physical commodities reserve. We are excited to transition from planning to active execution across silver, gold, platinum, palladium, and rare earth minerals."
Josh Phillip Phair, Founder and CEO of Scottsdale Mint, stated "It is exciting to see a publicly traded company like Hyperscale Data choose to add silver as a treasury asset. Not only are governments looking at critical minerals such as silver to shore up their supply chains, but institutions are increasingly recognizing it for monetary reasons as well. I am pleased to be a part of this long-term focused program."
This initiative reflects Hyperscale Data's broader treasury strategy of long-term asset accumulation for balance sheet strength, as previously outlined in its Bitcoin and silver reserve announcements.

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 second quarter of 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, 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.
