TREE NEWS update: Nasdaq-listed Hyperscale Data has shut down all Bitcoin miners at its Michigan data center to repurpose the site for AI compute. The company signed a 20MW master service agreement with an unnamed California cloud provider, expected to generate about $1.2 billion over 20 years, with a 32MW expansion option that could push total revenue above $3 billion. To fund the transition, it sold 830 BTC for roughly $53 million, retaining 275 BTC worth about $21.2 million. Hyperscale Data still operates about 10MW of Bitcoin mining capacity in Montana and is exploring an additional 125MW expansion.
Hyperscale Data shuts Michigan Bitcoin mine, pivots to AI
This move underscores the accelerating shift of energy-constrained data centers from mining to AI workloads, where revenue contracts can be far larger and more predictable. The sale of most of its Bitcoin holdings to fund the pivot highlights how AI infrastructure demands are reshaping balance sheets, even for listed crypto miners. The open question is whether the Montana capacity and expansion plans will follow the same path, and whether other miners with similar power assets will face comparable pressure to convert.
