LAS VEGAS, Dec. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), a diversified holding company (“Hyperscale Data” or the “Company”), today announced the completion of a $50 million preferred equity investment, whereby the Company sold that dollar amount through the issuance to Ault & Company, Inc. (“Ault and Company”) of 50,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Shares”). Ault & Company has invested $50 million through multiple closings over the past thirteen (13) months. This strategic influx of capital has enabled Hyperscale Data to accelerate its growth trajectory, enhance its technological offerings, and execute its business expansion plans more effectively, with a focus on becoming a pure AI data center company. The Company would like to remind its stockholders that on March 25, 2024, the Company and Ault and Company agreed to raise the aggregate offering of Series C Shares from $50 million to $75 million. This offering is continuing apace, but the Company cannot assure you when Ault and Company will complete the remaining purchases of $25 million in Series C Shares, if at all.
In addition to this significant investment, Hyperscale Data is strategically spinning out all of its non-data center and non-Bitcoin mining assets. This move is aimed at refining the Company’s core focus and reinforcing its commitment to leading the AI-driven data center industry.
“The $50 million investment was critical for our transformation into a pure AI data center company,” said Will Horne, CEO of Hyperscale Data. “This investment has propelled, and could continue to propel, our efforts to innovate and expand our capabilities at a significant pace, ultimately allowing us to serve our customers’ needs with even greater agility and efficiency.”
The substantial infusion of capital from Ault & Company underscores the confidence and trust placed in Hyperscale Data’s mission to redefine the digital landscape with cutting-edge solutions. This investment marks a significant milestone in Hyperscale Data’s journey, supporting its commitment to deliver unparalleled services and products to its growing client base.
“We’re excited to partner with Hyperscale Data, a company positioning itself at the forefront of the data center industry,” said Milton “Todd” Ault III, CEO of Ault & Company. “We recognize the enormous potential in leveraging Hyperscale Data’s innovative technologies and are proud to support its vision as they transition into a pure play data center business.”
The funds received from this investment, along with the previously announced additional $25 million investment, will be used for the expansion of the MI data center to implement infrastructure upgrades necessary to support the growing demands of high-performance computing services powering artificial intelligence solutions, repayment of outstanding indebtedness and general working capital purposes.
