Over the past weeks, Hyperscale Data highlighted expanding Bitcoin holdings above $50 million, launched a precious metals strategy via Ault Global Commodities, and reported rising demand across its defense portfolio. Despite this, shares frequently traded lower after these updates. The current preliminary Q1 2026 revenue news of about $44 million, up roughly 76% year-over-year, follows that backdrop of strategic diversification into Bitcoin, commodities, and defense-focused businesses.
Regulatory & Risk Context
An amended S-3/A shelf registers resale of up to 43,011,836 Conversion Shares from secured convertible notes with a principal face amount of $12,768,000, bearing 12.5% interest and maturing on December 2, 2027. The filing states the company will receive no proceeds from these resales.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock moved +5.3% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with the sharp revenue growth, with preliminary Q1 2026 revenue near $44 million, up about 76% year-over-year and supported by contributions from Gresham and Ault Lending. Historically, GPUS often traded lower after positive news, so a large upside move would have contrasted with prior divergence. Investors also had to weigh dilution overhang from registered 43,011,836 conversion shares tied to $12,768,000 of notes.

Milton "Todd" Ault III, Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data, stated:
"Our preliminary first quarter results reflect the strength of our diversified platform and the successful monetization of legacy assets. The contributions from Gresham, the settlement proceeds received by Ault Lending, and continued performance across our operating subsidiaries provide additional momentum as we move through 2026. At the same time, we are starting to see meaningful traction across our AI data center platform, robotics initiatives, blockchain infrastructure, and financial services operations, which we believe are beginning to work together in a more cohesive and scalable way. As these businesses continue to mature and integrate, we believe they can become important drivers of long-term growth and stockholder value. Based on this start to the year, we believe we are well positioned relative to our previously announced revenue outlook."

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 the divestiture of ACG (the "Divestiture") to occur in the second quarter of 2027. Upon the occurrence of the Divestiture, the Company would be an owner and operator of data centers to support high-performance computing services, as well as a holder of the digital assets. 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, 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,
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 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 shareholders of ACG upon the occurrence of the Divestiture.
