Deal announcement and market reaction
Shares of Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS) rose 20% on Wednesday after the company disclosed its first Master Services Agreement for AI compute capacity at its Michigan data center campus. The contract was executed through Alliance Cloud Services, LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Hyperscale Data, and names a California-based neocloud provider as the customer.
Scope and timing of the deployment
The MSA covers an initial deployment of 20 megawatts of critical AI compute capacity that Hyperscale Data expects to have operational in the fourth quarter of 2026. The agreement contains an option allowing the customer to increase the commitment up to 52 MW of critical AI compute capacity.
Contract length and revenue projections
The MSA has a 10-year initial term and includes two extension options, each for five years. If the customer exercises the maximum term under the agreement, Hyperscale Data expects that the contract would generate in excess of $1.2 billion in revenue. Additionally, the MSA grants the customer a right to an extra 32 MW of critical AI compute capacity. If that expansion option is exercised within the first two years of the initial term - and remains through the two five-year extension options - total contract revenue is expected to exceed $3.0 billion.
Capital expenditures and campus retrofits
Alliance Cloud Services has started retrofitting about 60,000 square feet of the Michigan campus to accommodate the customer’s operations. The company estimates the initial build-out to support the 20 MW deployment will cost between $100 million and $120 million.
Operational shifts and Bitcoin mining activity
As AI compute capacity is brought online, Hyperscale Data plans to reallocate portions of the Michigan campus power that are currently dedicated to Bitcoin mining. The company presently operates about 28 MW of Bitcoin mining capacity at the Michigan campus and plans to continue operating Bitcoin mining capacity at its Montana facility.
Longer-term campus potential and contingencies
Hyperscale Data noted that the Michigan campus may ultimately support more than 300 MW of total power capacity. The company also made clear that that potential depends on several conditions, including regulatory approvals, financing, infrastructure availability, engineering studies, utility agreements and other factors.
