LAS VEGAS, July 01, 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 Ault Markets, Inc. (“Ault Markets”), plans to launch a Decentralized Cryptocurrency Exchange (“DEX”) to be based in the United States, with its headquarters in Las Vegas, Nevada. For more information, interested parties are encouraged to visit Ault.com.

The Company expects that DEX will enable peer-to-peer digital asset trading with no centralized intermediary, offering true ownership, privacy, and global accessibility. Ault Markets plans to support trading on the DEX in up to 175 countries, marking a bold new chapter in the evolution of global finance.

In a direct response to the current administration’s recent call for the United States to lead the world in cryptocurrency innovation, Ault Markets is looking forward to answering that call by building a blockchain-native, pro-innovation DEX under the banner of an American enterprise.

Key Features of the Ault Markets DEX:

• Non-custodial peer-to-peer trading
• Support for all major tokens and blockchain networks, including multi-chain interoperability
• Global compliance screening (excluding OFAC-sanctioned jurisdictions)
• High-speed, low-cost transactions using Layer-2 scaling and on-chain liquidity
• Decentralized identity and wallet integration for user sovereignty
• Around the clock trading, 365 days a year across the globe

“We believe it is time for the United States to take the lead in the digital asset space,” said Milton “Todd” Ault III, Founder and Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data. “By launching a DEX from Nevada, we are looking to set a global standard; not just for cryptocurrency access, but for transparency and innovation across global financial systems. This project is about empowering users worldwide while grounding the infrastructure in entrepreneurial American values.”

By removing intermediaries and empowering individuals, Ault Markets’ DEX plans to challenge traditional financial institutions and foreign-domiciled exchanges offering a secure, transparent, and user-first platform for global digital commerce.

The Company expects the DEX to be launched in early 2026, following a global node deployment and final smart contract audit phase. Ault Markets will also integrate its exchange into the broader Ault Blockchain ecosystem, offering financial-grade decentralized services alongside lending, custody, and token issuance platforms.

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 artificial intelligence (“AI”) ecosystems and other industries. Hyperscale Data’s other wholly owned subsidiary, ACG, is a diversified holding company pursuing growth by acquiring undervalued businesses and disruptive technologies with a global impact.

Hyperscale Data expects to divest itself of ACG on or about December 31, 2025 (the “Divestiture”). Upon the occurrence of the Divestiture, the Company would solely be an owner and operator of data centers to support HPC services, though it may at that time continue to operate in the digital asset space as described in the Company’s filings with the SEC. 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, social gaming 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, Las Vegas, NV 89141.

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 Convertible 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 stockholders of ACG upon the occurrence of the Divestiture.
