Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS) is stepping up its Bitcoin mining game with a major hardware overhaul at its Michigan data center. The company has finalized an order for 1,000 Bitmain Antminer S21+ units, marking a significant upgrade to its mining infrastructure. Installation could begin as soon as October 13, 2025, and will roll out in 4-megawatt phases to minimize disruption to ongoing operations.

The S21+ miners aren’t just incremental upgrades—they deliver up to 235 terahashes per second, representing a 135% jump in speed over Hyperscale’s existing S19J Pro miners. Once the planned 20 MW upgrade is complete, the facility will host around 5,000 S21+ miners, substantially boosting overall efficiency and output.

Milton “Todd” Ault III, Executive Chairman, emphasized the dual-purpose strategy: “We remain committed to running an AI data center and Bitcoin mining operation side-by-side… By upgrading to the S21+ units, we are increasing productivity while maintaining our long-term focus on Bitcoin accumulation and expanding our AI compute offerings.”

Hyperscale Data’s approach highlights a growing trend in the industry: hybrid operations that combine high-performance computing for AI with cryptocurrency mining. This model maximizes hardware utilization and aligns with broader market moves toward multi-revenue data centers, where operators leverage existing infrastructure for diverse applications.

The company also reaffirmed its digital asset strategy, holding all Bitcoin mined in-house while supplementing reserves with open market purchases. Hyperscale Data aims for a $100 million Bitcoin treasury, positioning itself as both an operator and a long-term holder in the crypto space.

Beyond mining, Hyperscale Data operates through subsidiaries including Sentinum, Inc., which runs the Michigan facility for AI and digital asset hosting, and Ault Capital Group, Inc. (ACG), a diversified holding company with investments spanning AI software, social gaming, industrial, defense, automotive, biopharma, and more. ACG is expected to divest in Q2 2026, leaving Hyperscale Data focused primarily on high-performance data center operations and digital asset management.

By combining cutting-edge mining hardware with AI compute services, Hyperscale Data is not just keeping pace with rivals—it’s blurring the lines between crypto mining and enterprise AI, a niche likely to gain attention from investors and tech strategists alike.
