The data‑center firm Hyperscale Data has sold its remaining Bitcoin holdings and scrapped a planned $100 million cryptocurrency treasury, redirecting the funds to build an artificial‑intelligence data centre in Michigan.
Hyperscale Data, a company that operates large‑scale data facilities, announced that it has liquidated its last Bitcoin position, effectively ending its cryptocurrency holdings. The firm also confirmed that it has abandoned a previously disclosed plan to maintain a $100 million treasury in Bitcoin.
The decision was taken to reallocate the capital toward the construction of a new artificial‑intelligence focused data centre in Michigan, United States. Executives said the AI facility is expected to serve high‑performance computing workloads and will require substantial upfront investment.
By shifting funds from a volatile digital‑asset reserve to a tangible infrastructure project, Hyperscale Data aims to strengthen its core business and reduce exposure to cryptocurrency price swings. Analysts view the move as a pragmatic response to the current market environment and a signal that the company is prioritising long‑term growth over speculative assets.
The Michigan project is slated to begin in early 2027 and will create a series of high‑density server clusters designed for machine‑learning and data‑analytics applications, positioning the firm to capture rising demand from enterprise AI users.
