Key Points

Quantum Solutions executed two ETH disposals: 904 ETH sold on June 16 for $1.61 million (~$1,777/ETH) and 1,000 ETH sold on July 30 for $1.903 million (~$1,903/ETH), realizing a loss of about $100,970 on the May 31 carrying value of $2,003.97/ETH. The combined sales reduced holdings by 29% to 4,764.8 ETH from 6,668.8 ETH, and the board lifted the cumulative sale limit to 4,375 ETH (from 1,875 ETH) through Oct. 30, leaving room to sell up to 2,471 ETH more.

Hyperscale Data’s Michigan AI data center program is structured with a 20 MW, 10-year master services agreement (with two optional five-year extensions) that can generate more than $1.2 billion if fully exercised; an option to expand by an additional 32 MW within the first two years could lift total potential revenue to above $3 billion if the expansion and full term are realized.

Hyperscale Data’s stock reaction reflected the news: shares rose more than 5% (crossing around $0.12) following the announcement of the Bitcoin liquidation and AI-data-center financing strategy.

Even after monetizing roughly 100 BTC, Hyperscale Data maintained meaningful crypto exposure, reportedly holding about 1,006 BTC (making it one of the larger public corporate Bitcoin holders), with pre-monetization BTC holdings cited near $71 million and the sale generating about $6.48 million at a BTC price around $64,823.
Hyperscale Data has sold roughly 100 Bitcoin for about $6.48 million and locked in a $25 million Bitcoin-backed credit facility to fund its Michigan AI data center campus, according to FinanceFeeds and Tron Weekly. The company kept about 1,006 BTC on its books — making it one of the larger public corporate Bitcoin holders — while shifting fresh cash into equipment and construction.
Shares of Hyperscale Data (NYSE American: GPUS) rose more than 5%, crossing around $0.12, after the announcement. The moves are part of a broader pattern: crypto-treasury companies are now using digital assets — and loans backed by them — to build out large-scale AI infrastructure.
Michigan AI Campus Backed by a $3 Billion Upside
The Michigan data center is anchored by a master services agreement for roughly 20 megawatts of AI compute capacity over 10 years. If the contract runs its full term, it could generate more than $1.2 billion in revenue, according to FinanceFeeds. Two optional five-year extensions could stretch the deal even further.
There is also an option to add 32 more megawatts within the first two years. If exercised, total contract value could top $3 billion, Tron Weekly reported. That expansion option expires after the second year, so the clock is ticking for Hyperscale to move quickly on construction.
Bitcoin Sold and Borrowed Against to Avoid Share Dilution
Hyperscale sold about 100 BTC at roughly $64,823 each, raising around $6.48 million, per FinanceFeeds. The $25 million credit facility is backed by the company's remaining Bitcoin and carries a variable interest rate of about 4.5% to 5%. Borrowing against BTC lets the company raise debt without issuing new shares, which would water down existing investors.
Before the sale, Hyperscale held Bitcoin valued near $71 million. Even after monetizing 100 coins, it still holds about 1,006 BTC, Tron Weekly noted. Management framed the move as a way to put capital to work on infrastructure while keeping meaningful exposure to Bitcoin's potential upside.
Quantum Solutions Sells 1,000 ETH to Chase the Same AI Play
Tokyo-listed Quantum Solutions is running the same playbook with Ethereum. The company executed two ETH sales: 904 ETH sold on June 16 for $1.61 million (about $1,777 per ETH) and 1,000 ETH sold on July 30 for $1.903 million (about $1,903 per ETH), according to CoinDesk. Both sales came in below the May 31 carrying value of $2,003.97 per ETH, leaving the company with a realized loss of about $100,970.
The two disposals cut Quantum's ETH holdings by 29%, from 6,668.8 ETH down to 4,764.8 ETH, Crypto News reported. The board also raised the cumulative sale limit to 4,375 ETH from 1,875 ETH through October 30. That leaves room to sell up to 2,471 more ETH if the company needs additional cash for its AI data center venture.
Crypto Treasuries Are Becoming AI Construction Loans
Both companies reflect a shift in how crypto-holding firms think about their digital assets. Bitcoin and Ethereum are no longer just bets on price appreciation. They are now collateral for loans or liquid assets to sell when a capital-intensive project — like a data center — needs funding fast.
Hyperscale is pivoting away from crypto mining and toward AI infrastructure hosting, FinanceFeeds noted. Quantum Solutions is building its first AI data center from scratch. Both are betting that AI compute demand will generate steadier, longer-term revenue than holding volatile digital assets — while still keeping enough crypto on hand to benefit if prices climb.
