If You Invested in USCTD (USCTD)

USCTD is the OTC Markets trading symbol associated with Roth CH Acquisition Co., a blank check shell company domiciled in the Cayman Islands that has announced a business combination agreement with Sharon AI, Inc. According to multiple company announcements, Roth CH Acquisition Co. intends to complete a reverse merger with Sharon AI, a High-Performance Computing (HPC) business focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI), cloud GPU compute infrastructure and data storage.

Sharon AI is described in the company’s news releases as Australia’s leading "Neocloud" and a High-Performance Computing company focused on Artificial Intelligence and Cloud GPU Compute Infrastructure. Its platform is built around cloud GPU resources and compute infrastructure that are used to accelerate the build of AI factories and sovereign AI solutions. The company states that its cloud GPU platform and compute infrastructure support accelerated computing adoption for AI workloads.

Business focus and operating model

In the transaction-related press releases, Sharon AI explains that it operates a GPU Compute-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) model. It deploys GPU clusters inside Tier IV co-location data centers and also pursues the design, development and operation of specialized data center facilities. This hybrid operational model is highlighted as including deployments in Tier IV data centers and the development of data center projects, including large-scale AI data center campuses in West Texas through a joint venture structure.

Sharon AI’s communications describe its focus on AI and HPC applications, with proficiency in deploying a range of NVIDIA and AMD GPU technologies in conjunction with a proprietary orchestration and automation platform referred to as the Sharon AI Cloud. The company notes that this platform is intended to simplify deployment and management of GPU resources for AI training, fine-tuning, inference and other complex workloads.

AI infrastructure and data center projects

Several news releases linked to USCTD outline Sharon AI’s involvement in large-scale AI data center initiatives in the United States. Through Texas Critical Data Centers LLC (TCDC), a 50/50 joint venture with New Era Energy & Digital Inc. or New Era Helium Inc. (as described in different releases), Sharon AI is associated with an intended multi-hundred megawatt AI data center campus project in Ector County, Texas. The project is described as an intended 250MW to 1GW+ AI and high-performance computing campus on a development footprint of approximately 438 acres in the Permian Basin region, with a model that contemplates powered land, shells and long-term data center leases and energy sales.

According to the joint venture updates, TCDC has signed agreements to purchase additional contiguous land to expand the campus footprint and has engaged Ramboll Data Center Facilities to provide full-scope engineering and design for the project. The releases mention work on engineering, master site planning, power-interconnection studies, grid applications and civil-development activities to prepare for phased construction.

Cloud GPU platform and sovereign AI positioning

In its public statements, Sharon AI describes itself as a sovereign GPU cloud provider and Australia’s leading Neocloud. Its AI Platform is presented as supporting developers, research organizations, enterprises and government customers. The company highlights capabilities such as enterprise-grade retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and inference engines delivered through a single management portal, powered by NVIDIA AI Enterprise, NVIDIA NIM microservices and NVIDIA AI blueprints.

The company’s AI Grid is described as a highly interconnected network of NVIDIA AI infrastructure overlaid by Sharon AI’s RAG and inference engines. This grid is stated to be deployed in Sydney and Melbourne, with references to other major centers expected to follow, including Auckland, New Zealand. The AI Grid is positioned as enabling secure, low-latency AI capabilities for enterprise customers on an AI-native cloud service.

Partnerships and ecosystem

Sharon AI’s announcements connected to USCTD emphasize collaborations with data center and connectivity partners. The company reports GPU cluster deployments inside NEXTDC Tier IV data centers in Melbourne and other locations, including the "Sharon AI Supercluster" within a NEXTDC Tier IV facility. It also describes a collaboration with Megaport Ltd. to enable private connectivity from enterprise, government and research customers in many data centers across multiple countries to the Sharon AI Cloud, using connectivity options such as AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute and AARNet.

In another release, Sharon AI announces a partnership with VAST Data, integrating the VAST InsightEngine with its sovereign supercluster at a NEXTDC data center to support regulated industries and public sector workloads. The InsightEngine is described as an ingestion, embedding, indexing and retrieval system for structured, unstructured and streaming data that supports RAG and agentic workflows at scale, with governance and security features inherited from the VAST AI OS.

Technology stack and GPUaaS offering

Across the news items, Sharon AI describes its GPUaaS offering as built on NVIDIA accelerated computing and software, including NVIDIA H200 GPUs and NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking, as well as other NVIDIA GPUs such as H100, L40S, A40 and RTX3090, and AMD MI300X GPUs. The company states that its infrastructure is enhanced by the VAST Data Platform and Lenovo ThinkSystem SR680a V3 servers, and that its platform is designed to support AI training, fine-tuning, inference of generative AI and large language models, visual effects rendering and other high-intensity workloads.

The company’s communications also mention that Sharon AI is a certified NVIDIA Cloud Partner and that its orchestration platform is intended to allow users to self-provision GPU compute resources, with both on-demand and reserved cloud offerings described as part of its comprehensive offering of software tools, development environments and pre-optimized containers.

Joint venture customers and research collaborations

In the context of its sovereign supercluster, Sharon AI notes that initial workloads include research collaborations with the University of New South Wales (UNSW). The releases describe UNSW researchers using Sharon AI cloud resources to work on reasoning in small language models, fine-tuning and evaluating state-of-the-art large language models for tasks such as question answering, and accelerating global weather forecasting using high-resolution data-driven models.

For the Texas data center joint venture, Sharon AI reports that TCDC has signed a non-binding letter of intent with a prospective global enterprise customer that may acquire land and potentially enter into a power purchase agreement for behind-the-meter electricity to support advanced data center operations and AI compute infrastructure. Another non-binding letter of intent is described for the planned acquisition of additional land from an economic development corporation.

Corporate transaction context

The USCTD symbol is linked in the news to Roth CH Acquisition Co., which is described as a blank check shell company that intends to enter into a business combination with a growth company to go public in the US markets through a reverse merger. Sharon AI and Roth CH have announced a business combination agreement and related registration statement filings on Form S-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the proposed transaction. The releases emphasize that these materials will contain important information about Roth CH, Sharon AI, the proposed transaction and related matters, and encourage investors and stockholders to review the filed documents.

Because USCTD is associated with a blank check shell and a pending business combination, investors researching this symbol are often reviewing the historical and transaction-related context for Roth CH Acquisition Co. and the AI and cloud GPU compute infrastructure business of Sharon AI described in the company’s news releases.
