NEW YORK, January 5, 2026, 04:46 ET — Premarket
- GPUS rose about 20% in premarket trading after a nearly 49% jump on Friday
- An SEC filing showed Executive Chairman Milton C. Ault III and an affiliated firm bought 1.6 million shares late last month
- Traders are watching for fresh Bitcoin treasury and Michigan AI data facility updates this month, and the next earnings report on Feb. 19
Hyperscale Data, Inc shares were up 19.6% at $0.3265 in premarket trading on Monday, building on a sharp rally that drove the stock up 48.7% to close at $0.2730 on Friday, when more than 227 million shares changed hands. 1
The move matters because GPUS is a low-priced, high-volatility name where a few cents can swing the stock double digits, drawing short-term traders into any clear catalyst. Friday’s surge and Monday’s early follow-through put the spotlight back on insider activity and the company’s near-term disclosure calendar.
A Form 4 filing — the document U.S. corporate insiders use to report stock transactions — showed Executive Chairman Milton C. Ault III bought 108,800 shares of Hyperscale Data common stock on Dec. 30-31 at volume-weighted average prices of about 19 cents and 18 cents, and also disclosed purchases of 1.5 million shares through Ault & Company, Inc. 2
The filing also showed Ault bought 33 shares of the company’s Series D preferred stock at $22.83 each on Dec. 29. Insiders are not required to buy stock, and investors often treat open-market purchases as a signal of confidence — though they do not guarantee a turnaround.
Hyperscale Data, which describes itself as an AI data center company “anchored by Bitcoin,” has said it plans a structured communications cadence starting in January, including weekly Bitcoin treasury updates and regular updates on its Michigan AI data facility. “This is about execution and consistency,” Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman Will Horne said in a release. 3
The stock’s rally comes against a backdrop of potential share supply. A December filing said the company entered an at-the-market program — a facility that allows shares to be sold into the market at prevailing prices — for up to $50 million through Spartan Capital Securities. The company said it intended to use most net proceeds, if any, to acquire Bitcoin and further develop its Michigan data facility.
Technically, GPUS is pushing above the upper end of its most recent session range, after trading between roughly $0.21 and $0.29 in the prior regular session. The stock’s 52-week range of $0.18 to $9.98 underscores how quickly sentiment can flip in a thinly priced name. 4
But the setup carries clear risks. Premarket moves can be exaggerated on light liquidity, and any follow-on equity sales — including through the at-the-market program — can weigh on prices by diluting existing holders.
Fundamentals remain the swing factor into earnings. Hyperscale Data last reported a quarterly loss of $0.39 per share on $24.33 million in revenue, and Benzinga lists the next earnings date as February 19, 2026 — a report investors will watch for commentary on cash needs, Bitcoin strategy and the pace of data facility development. 5
