New York, Jan 8, 2026, 08:14 EST — Premarket
- GPUS up about 38% in premarket trading after preliminary year-end asset estimates
- Company pegs total assets at about $369 mln and net assets at about $168 mln as of Dec. 31
- Separate update put its Bitcoin treasury at about $80.2 mln, roughly matching its market value
Hyperscale Data Inc shares rose about 38% in premarket trading on Thursday after the company published preliminary estimates of its year-end assets and pushed a planned cadence of balance-sheet updates. The stock was at $0.3604.
The disclosure matters because Hyperscale Data has tried to anchor trading in its shares to what it says sits on the balance sheet — not just to near-term operating results. For a small stock tied to crypto prices and data-center buildouts, fresh numbers can become the catalyst.
It also lands as bitcoin cools off after recent strength, keeping pressure on companies that pitch themselves as part tech play, part digital-asset proxy.
Hyperscale Data said on Wednesday it estimated total assets of about $369 million as of Dec. 31, or roughly $1.14 per share of Class A common stock, and estimated net assets of about $168 million, or about $0.50 per share. Net assets per share is a book-value style measure — what is left after liabilities, divided by shares — and the company said the figures were preliminary and unaudited. Executive chairman Milton “Todd” Ault III said the company would provide monthly updates “in the name of transparency.” Nasdaq
In a separate update on Tuesday, Hyperscale Data said its bitcoin treasury — its holdings plus cash earmarked for committed bitcoin purchases — totaled about $80.2 million based on the bitcoin price as of Jan. 4, about 102% of its market capitalization using the Jan. 5 close. It said it held 532.6978 bitcoin and about $43.1 million of cash as of Jan. 2, and set a $100 million goal for bitcoin on its balance sheet. “We continue to make progress toward our $100 million Bitcoin treasury goal,” Ault said.

Bitcoin was down about 2% in early U.S. trading, last around $89,888. Shares of Strategy, a large corporate bitcoin holder, were up about 2.5%, while miners Marathon Digital and Core Scientific were down about 2% to 3%.
Hyperscale Data has also laid out a recurring disclosure schedule for 2026: weekly bitcoin treasury updates every Tuesday, a Michigan AI data-center progress note every other Thursday and a monthly asset snapshot on the first Wednesday of each month, the company said in a Dec. 29 statement. That puts the next bitcoin update on Jan. 13 and the next monthly asset update on Feb. 4.
But the numbers driving the move are management estimates, not audited financial statements, and the company warned they can change after customary close and review work. A sharp drop in bitcoin would also cut the value of its holdings, and investors remain focused on whether the company can turn its data-center plans into durable cash flow.
