LAS VEGAS, Feb. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), a diversified holding company (“Hyperscale Data” or the “Company”), today announced that its indirect, wholly owned subsidiary Alliance Cloud Services, LLC (“ACS”) has reached an agreement in principle with the local utility expected to energize ACS’ Michigan data center (the “Data Center”), enabling ACS to increase its power capacity from approximately 30 megawatts (“MW”) to 300 MW. The completion of the power upgrade is anticipated to take 44 months from execution of a formal Letter of Authorization (the “LOA”) between ACS and the utility, which is currently being negotiated.

The expansion of the Data Center to 300 MW will be a critical long-term milestone, which would enable ACS to increase its expansion efforts and further support the rapidly growing demand for high-performance computing (“HPC”) services powering artificial intelligence (“AI”) infrastructure. Hyperscale Data is simultaneously proceeding with the transition of the Data Center’s existing power capacity of 30MW from that of self-mining of Bitcoin to HPC services. As a part of negotiating the LOA, Hyperscale Data anticipates discussing potential approaches that could provide incremental power while the full buildout project is underway. Hyperscale Data is currently in the process of deploying the network, electrical and cooling systems for its first HPC environment. As Hyperscale Data moves forward in the coming months with both its short-term transition to HPC services and its power upgrade expansion process it will provide ongoing updates to its stockholders and the public as developments warrant.

Milton “Todd” Ault III, Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data, commented, “We are pleased to have finally reached an agreement in principle with the local utility and look forward to executing a definitive agreement with it. This would be a game-changer for our business and the future of our AI infrastructure. Scaling our Data Center to 300 MW would significantly enhance our ability to meet surging demand from AI and high-performance computing customers. It also marks a major step forward in our transformation into a pure-play data center operator. We are committed to building a world-class facility that powers the next generation of technology, and this anticipated expansion is a significant step forward to meeting that objective.”

The completion of the power upgrade is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, one or more which could result in the project being terminated, including, but not limited to: failure to agree upon terms and execute a definitive agreement; the inability of ACS or the Company to raise sufficient funds to pay for the power upgrades; failure to obtain regulatory consents and approvals; the inability to obtain sufficient easements, rights-of-way and land rights necessary to the work to be performed, and other presently unforeseen events or conditions.

Additional information regarding the material terms of the LOA will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
