Hyperscale Data Ends Cryptomining Operations at Michigan Data Center

Hyperscale said the Michigan site will host 20 megawatts of AI capacity and that Bitcoin holdings have fallen 79% since late July.

  • Hyperscale Data, Inc. ceased all Bitcoin mining operations at its Michigan facility on September 1, 2026, preparing the site for deployment of a California-based neocloud provider's artificial intelligence infrastructure.
  • This transition follows a master services agreement signed with the Customer to deploy 20 megawatts of computing capacity under a 10-year initial term with two five-year extension options.
  • Hyperscale Data's Bitcoin holdings have fallen about 79% since late July to 215 BTC, worth about $16.7 million, while shares closed at $0.1984 on Wednesday, down about 17%.
  • William Horne, Chief Executive Officer, stated the shutdown allows the team to focus resources on preparing the Facility for the Customer, estimating deployment requires approximately 20% of 340 megawatts of potential capacity.
  • Executives previously noted that mining companies repurposing sites for AI are 'sitting on a gold mine,' with the site potentially generating revenue exceeding $1.2 billion over the maximum 20-year term.
