Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), an AI data center company with a significant Bitcoin treasury, has announced a dual capital strategy involving decentralized finance and selective sales to fund its Michigan AI data center campus. As part of a Bitcoin-backed DeFi financing program through the Morpho Protocol, the company has borrowed approximately $30 million at a current variable interest rate of 4.9%, secured by a portion of its Bitcoin holdings. This move transforms its Bitcoin reserve from a passive asset into a productive source of low-cost growth capital, the company stated.
Simultaneously, during the week ended August 2, 2026, Hyperscale Data sold approximately 150.5 Bitcoin for about $9.6 million, while an affiliated subsidiary purchased 15 BTC on the open market. As of that date, the company held a total of 958.5352 BTC worth roughly $60.8 million (based on a BTC closing price of $63,482). Executive Chairman Milton “Todd” Ault III emphasized that the strategy allows the company to retain long-term Bitcoin exposure while obtaining short-term financial flexibility to support data center operations expected to generate significant cash flows through 2027 and beyond. The Morpho Protocol borrowing is overcollateralized and executed via blockchain-based smart contracts, signaling a growing institutional adoption of DeFi for corporate treasury management.
