Alliance Cloud Services Nears $1 Billion 20-MW AI Deal, Phasing Out Bitcoin Mining

1 articles · Updated · Stocktwits · Jun 15

Summary

  • Advanced talks center on a master services agreement that would let Alliance Cloud Services provide 20 megawatts of AI compute capacity at its Michigan campus, generating more than $1 billion over 20 years.
  • The deal would likely end Bitcoin mining there over several months as Hyperscale Data shifts power to higher-margin AI services; the first 10 MW could go live within 90 days of signing, with another 10 MW 90 days later.
  • Hyperscale Data said the same customer may take another 32 MW in 2028, lifting the potential contract value to about $2.5 billion for 52 MW.
  • GPUS shares jumped more than 24% in premarket trading as the company highlighted a 617,000-square-foot Dowagiac campus that currently runs about 30 MW and could eventually support more than 300 MW.
  • The pivot mirrors a broader industry shift as Bitcoin miners repurpose powered, cooled sites for AI infrastructure; Hyperscale would still keep roughly 709 Bitcoin, worth more than $46 million, on its balance sheet.
