Hyperscale Data, Inc., a diversified holding company, has announced a strategic pivot regarding its digital asset holdings. The company’s subsidiary, Sentinum, Inc., plans to liquidate its approximately $100,000 worth of XRP to adopt a Bitcoin-only treasury strategy. This initiative is part of a broader $100 million commitment to Bitcoin, which will involve both open market purchases and retention of Bitcoin earned through mining operations.
Previously, the company had explored a treasury strategy that included XRP, but after further evaluation, it determined that aligning its digital asset strategy solely with Bitcoin would be more beneficial. Hyperscale Data has been involved in Bitcoin mining since December 2017, and management emphasizes the need for a unified and transparent approach to its treasury amidst evolving market dynamics.
Milton “Todd” Ault III, Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data, stated that the decision to adopt Bitcoin as the foundation of their treasury demonstrates confidence in its resilience and potential as a keystone in the emerging digital financial landscape. The company plans to begin open market purchases of Bitcoin and will issue updates every Tuesday regarding its holdings, including both mined Bitcoin and those acquired through purchases.
Sentinum’s current Bitcoin holdings are valued at approximately $1,731,000, based on a recent closing price of $115,407. These assets have been generated by hashing services provided to a mining pool, and the company has not yet engaged in open market acquisitions of Bitcoin.
In conjunction with this strategic realignment, Hyperscale Data has intentions to divest its other wholly owned subsidiary, Ault Capital Group, Inc. This divestiture is expected to take place in the first quarter of 2026, following a share exchange for stakeholders of Series F Exchangeable Preferred Stock. Once the divestiture occurs, Hyperscale Data will focus solely on its data center operations and digital asset holdings.
In addition to its focus on Bitcoin, the company maintains a diverse operational portfolio through ACG, encompassing industries such as artificial intelligence, gaming, defense, and healthcare. It will continue to engage in private credit and structured finance until the divestiture is finalized.
Investors and stakeholders are encouraged to follow the company’s updates and refer to official filings available on its website and through the Securities and Exchange Commission for further insights into its operational strategy and financial health.
