Ault Alliance’s Subsidiary, Sentinum, Announces that It Is Ready to Accept up to 40 Artificial Intelligence Clusters with Nvidia and AMD GPU’s at Its Michigan Data Center and Future Expansion Plans

Ault Alliance, Inc. (NYSE American: AULT), a diversified holding company (“Ault Alliance,” or the “Company”), today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Sentinum, Inc. (“Sentinum”) is now capable of accepting for deployment up to 40 artificial intelligence (“AI”) clusters consisting of memory, data storage, networking components with advanced GPU's from Nvidia and AMD, at its state of the art Michigan data center. During the second quarter of 2023, Sentinum began adjusting its electrical resources at the Michigan data center in anticipation of needing to support the significant increase in computing demand being driven by AI applications. It is expected that the potential addition of AI processing workloads will operate concurrently with Sentinum’s Bitcoin mining operations.

In addition, as Sentinum’s new facility in Montana becomes operational, Sentinum intends to further expand the high-performance computing (“HPC”) and AI services at that location. These AI clusters, powered by industry-leading technology from Nvidia and AMD, along with the provision of enterprise-class servers and storage devices, will be facilitated through the Company’s subsidiary, Alliance Cloud Services, LLC, and delivered from the Michigan facility, located within a 617,000 square foot area on a 34.5-acre site in southern Michigan. The data center, which is strategically positioned near power production sites, boasts a current capacity of approximately 28MWs of power, and is not only energy-efficient but prepared for future upgrades to reach approximately 300MWs.

Milton “Todd” Ault III, Executive Chairman of Ault Alliance, expressed his enthusiasm about the new developments, “The deployment of AI clusters at our Michigan data center represents a pivotal step in our technological advancement and strategic growth. These state-of-the-art AI clusters are expected to significantly enhance our capabilities to support generative AI and machine learning, without disrupting our current Bitcoin mining operations. As we bring our Montana facility online over the next several months, we anticipate further expanding our HPC infrastructure and AI capabilities, solidifying our position in the market. This innovative approach is not only a testament to our commitment to leveraging the latest technology, but we believe also positions us for substantial financial growth. In light of our significant achievements and the current state of Bitcoin mining at a $60 million Bitcoin production run rate, it is perplexing that our market capitalization has not reflected these positive developments. We believe this discrepancy presents a valuable opportunity for market reassessment, as we continue to demonstrate our potential and capabilities.”

At a Bitcoin price of $37,500, Sentinum’s Bitcoin mining operations annual run rate is expected to exceed $60 million worth of Bitcoin. In October 2023, as previously reported, Sentinum mined approximately 135 Bitcoins, with 71 being mined at its Michigan data center and 64 sourced from its hosted machines by Core Scientific, Inc. Ault Alliance notes that all estimates and other projections are subject to the volatility in Bitcoin market price, the fluctuation in the mining difficulty level, the ability to build out and provide the necessary power for miners, and other factors that may impact the results of Bitcoin mining production or operations.
