Hyperscale Data Targets Full Buildout of 340 MW Michigan AI Data Center Campus in 2029

Hyperscale Data Targets Full Buildout of 340 MW Michigan AI Data Center Campus in 2029

Files $125 Million Shelf Registration to Provide Long-Term Financial Flexibility; No Immediate Capital Raise Planned
LAS VEGAS, July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), a diversified holding company ('Hyperscale Data' or the 'Company'), today announced a strategic development roadmap to fully build out its data center campus in Michigan that is optimized for artificial intelligence ('AI') to 340 megawatts ('MW'). This phased expansion underscores the Company's long-term commitment to supporting AI, machine learning and high-performance computing ('HPC') workloads.
The Company currently operates approximately 30 MW of power at the Michigan facility and expects to increase the power capacity to 70 MW over the next 20 months. The full 340 MW buildout is anticipated within 44 months from execution of an agreement with the local utility provider and securing appropriate funding.
'We are building a scalable, AI-centric digital infrastructure platform,' said William B. Horne, Chief Executive Officer of Hyperscale Data. 'As demand for computing power accelerates, our Michigan campus positions us to scale efficiently and profitably to meet that demand.'
Shelf Registration Filed to Enable Long-Term Financial Flexibility
To support the Michigan expansion and other strategic initiatives, the Company recently filed a shelf registration statement for up to $125 million (the 'Registration Statement'). At this time, Hyperscale Data does not intend to raise capital under this Registration Statement. The Registration Statement provides flexibility to access capital markets over time as construction and development of the Michigan campus continues.
Phased Expansion Timeline:
The Michigan facility, located on an approximately 34-acre site, currently generates revenue through digital asset mining and by providing colocation and hosting services for the emerging AI ecosystems and other industries. Planned development milestones include:
Current Operations: Approximately 30 MW online and operational;
Mid-Term Expansion: Add 40 MW by Second Quarter of 2027; and
Full Buildout: Additional 270 MW by Third Quarter of 2029, for a total of 340 MW.
In February 2025, the Company's indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Alliance Cloud Services, LLC ('ACS'), reached an agreement in principle with the local utility to increase available power to 300 MW. The final letter of authorization is currently under negotiation, and once executed, the full upgrade is expected to be completed within 44 months. Additionally, ACS has reached an agreement in principle with the local natural gas utility to supply an extra 40 MW of power.
Positioning for the Future of AI Infrastructure
Hyperscale Data's expansion plan is aligned with surging industry demand for purpose-built, high-density compute infrastructure. The Company cites comparable projects such as Applied Digital Corporation's recently announced 250 MW contract with CoreWeave, Inc., which is projected to generate over $7 billion in revenue over 15 years.
As the Company enters the second half of 2025, it remains focused on reducing debt, streamlining operations and advancing its strategic transition to a pureplay AI data center platform.

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 AI ecosystems and other industries. Hyperscale Data's other wholly owned subsidiary, Ault Capital Group, Inc. ('ACG'), is a diversified holding company pursuing growth by acquiring undervalued businesses and disruptive technologies with a global impact.
Hyperscale Data currently expects to divest itself of ACG (the 'Divestiture') on or about December 31, 2025, though there can be no assurance that the Divestiture will be completed during 2025. 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.

This fluffy robot pet learns and evolves through human interaction — and it's taking Japan by storm (VIDEO)

TOKYO, Aug 3 — A fluffy robot pet equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) has proven to be a hit in Japan, as it develops its own personality and quirks depending on how it is 'raised,' reported Kyodo News Agency. Moflin by Casio Computer Co demonstrates over 4 million distinctive personality traits, recognising the person who talks to it frequently as its owner. It gradually learns what the owner likes based on interactions such as petting and cuddling. 'Development began with women as our target audience. We imagined a sidekick that could provide support even when you're facing issues at work or in your personal life,' said Erina Ichikawa, 42, the leader of the team that developed Moflin. The project gained momentum after an engineer from the company brought in a prototype robot for the purpose of portraying the cuteness of small animals. Casio, which launched the robots in November, exceeded its target and sold over 7,000 units by March. They are particularly popular among women in their late 30s and 40s, according to the company. Ichikawa notes how some people also bring them on excursions on days off. 'People can feel that their Moflins are different from other Moflins, as the robots, like animals, display individual personalities and emotions, on top of growing and having varying sleep cycles,' Ichikawa said. The robots are priced at ¥59,400 (RM1,710). The company also provides add-on services, including a so-called salon that washes and cleans the robots' fur. — Bernama-Kyodo

AI roadmap focuses on ethics, innovation and equitable growth

KUALA LUMPUR: The new AI Action Plan 2026-2030, which will guide the country towards becoming an 'inclusive and sustainable' Artificial Intelligence (AI) nation by 2030, focuses on ethics, innovation and equitable growth, the National Artificial Intelligence Office (NAIO) said. The roadmap outlines five key priorities, namely, delivering measurable sectoral impact, embedding responsible AI, building talent pipelines, supporting local innovation, and ensuring coordinated government execution. "Inclusivity means ensuring AI benefits all segments of society - across regions, income levels, ages and abilities - by expanding access to AI education and tools, supporting SMEs, startups and underserved communities, and promoting multilingual and culturally relevant AI solutions," NAIO told the New Straits Times. Sustainability, meanwhile, covers economic resilience, environmental responsibility and evolving safeguards. The Action Plan also aims to close the digital divide through literacy programmes in underserved communities, empower cooperatives with AI tools, and create real-world use cases in areas such as health, education and agriculture. The office said public consultations on a comprehensive AI Governance Framework, which integrates ethical principles, regulatory recommendations and safeguards for responsible AI use, will also follow once its draft framework is approved. Malaysia is currently ranked second in Asean and 23rd globally in AI readiness. The government has made key strides since 2021, with major investments in supercomputing capacity, such as YTL-Nvidia AI Cloud, and chip development, such as ARM IP licensing. "This step is crucial to ensure Malaysia's AI governance is transparent, inclusive and grounded in societal values, while aligning with global best practices," it added. On July 31, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said that Malaysia aims to be an "inclusive and sustainable" Artificial Intelligence (AI) nation by 2030. Under the 13th Malaysia Plan, the government wants the country to become a regional hub for digital technology innovation and the production of " Made by Malaysia" products and services, he said.

AI not a threat but a teaching aid in PR, say academics

Although Gen Z and Alpha students are digital native, they still need ethical guidance and practical tools, noting the absence of a standardised AI or AI-and-PR subject and stressing the need to formally introduce AI into public relations education. 03 Aug 2025 05:00pm Photo for illustration purpose only. - Photo illustrated by Sinar Daily KUALA LUMPUR - Artificial Intelligence (AI) should be embraced as a supportive tool in public relations (PR) education, but clear guidelines and a structured curriculum are essential to ensure ethical and responsible usage among students. Head of the Strategic Communication Centre at the Faculty of Communication and Media Studies, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Dr Wan Norbani Wan Noordin said that while AI is definitely a friend in the learning environment, the extent of its integration must be carefully managed through proper education and policy alignment. "We can't stop students from using AI, but I think you can help them to use it at the proper avenue. Yes, it is definitely a friend, but how much of a friend are we talking?" she said while speaking as a panelist during the session titled AI & PR: Friend or Foe? held in conjunction with the Kuala Lumpur International PR Conference (KLIP 7), themed "Curiosity, Creativity, Clarity", here recently. Other panelists were Associate Prof Dr Nurul'ain Mohd Hasan, a lecturer at the Faculty of Modern Languages and Communication, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM); Boy Kelana Soebroto from Indonesia; Jennifer Muir from Australia; Fiona Cassidy from New Zealand; Ruby Wan from Hong Kong; Nguyen Khoa My from Vietnam; and Mohamed Ali from Singapore. Wan Norbani said many students are excited to use AI for idea generation and initial research, but she expressed concern over their limited ability to verify sources despite being in higher education. She added that although Gen Z and Alpha students are digital native, they still need ethical guidance and practical tools, noting the absence of a standardised AI or AI-and-PR subject, and stressing the need to formally introduce AI into public relations education. Wan Norbani said digital literacy and ethical values are embedded in most PR subjects and noted that students themselves suggested users should be transparent by declaring AI use, highlighting the need for structured education to ensure responsible and mature application. Meanwhile, Nurul'ain shared that her classroom study showed an 11 per cent improvement in students' understanding of PR concepts after using AI tools, noting that AI does not replace educators but serves as a colleague, research partner, and teaching aid. "We need to expose students to ethical and responsible use of AI. It's not about full dependence, but thoughtful application," she said, adding that AI should be seen as a valuable tool in PR education, not a threat. However, Nurul'ain highlighted the lack of trained educators in AI-related subjects such as data analytics as asignificant challenge and she concluded with a reminder: "You're using AI? Great. You're not using AI? Well, good luck. Be responsible, be genuine, stay safe. AI is the future." KLIP features international, ASEAN and national keynote speakers, panel discussions and interactive sessions, providing valuable insights and networking opportunities for attendees. Since its inception in 2019, KLIP has been a pivotal global conference for PR and communication leaders, professionals and academics from ASEAN and beyond, fostering the exchange of the latest industry insights. - BERNAMA
