Hyperscale Data Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS) announced it intends to add approximately $20 million in bitcoin to its balance sheet, subject to available financing from proceeds of its recently announced at-the-market offering of common stock.
The Las Vegas-based diversified holding company said its current market capitalization is approximately $15 million. The company stated it believes adding bitcoin will provide a stabilizing foundation and demonstrate that its balance sheet assets substantially exceed the current trading value of its common stock.
According to the company’s press release, Hyperscale Data expects to continually add bitcoin to its treasury as its valuation grows. The company cited two key drivers for the strategy: potential bitcoin appreciation as a long-term store of value and monetization strategies including yield-enhancement and collateralization approaches.
"Bitcoin offers us a unique opportunity to create a reserve asset that both stabilizes our balance sheet and positions Hyperscale Data to benefit from long-term appreciation in digital assets," said William B. Horne, chief executive officer.
Milton "Todd" Ault III, executive chairman, stated the company plans to "hold Bitcoin as a core treasury asset, pursue monetization opportunities that can provide recurring income, and leverage this strategy alongside the buildout of our Michigan AI data center campus."
Hyperscale Data operates a data center in Michigan where it mines digital assets and offers colocation and hosting services. The company expects to divest its subsidiary Ault Capital Group in the first quarter of 2026, after which it will focus on data center operations and digital asset holdings.
The company issued one million shares of Series F Exchangeable Preferred Stock to stockholders on December 23, 2024. The planned divestiture will occur through voluntary exchange of these preferred shares for shares in the subsidiary being spun off.
