  • GPUS climbed roughly 4% in early trading following an update on its bitcoin treasury
  • As of Jan. 25, the company valued its holdings at about $48.5 million
  • Traders are focused on bitcoin’s next move as well as the company’s upcoming disclosure

Hyperscale Data shares jumped roughly 4% in premarket trading Tuesday, recovering some losses from the steep decline the day before. The boost came after the company revealed its bitcoin holdings are valued at about $48.5 million.

The stock now stands as a stand-in for two rapidly shifting stories: crypto prices and investor hunger for AI infrastructure plays. In this swirl, a treasury update can eclipse a product launch—at least temporarily.

Hyperscale Data reported holding 560.0363 bitcoin as of Jan. 25, valuing the holdings at a bitcoin closing price of $86,572. The company is still aiming to hit $100 million in bitcoin on its balance sheet. “Despite recent volatility in the price of bitcoin, we remain committed to our long-term goal,” said Executive Chairman Milton “Todd” Ault III.

The company said most of its bitcoin holdings sit with wholly owned unit Sentinum, while a smaller chunk is held by Ault Capital Group (ACG). It added that ACG purchased 10 bitcoin on the open market during the week ending Jan. 25 and typically aims to allocate at least 5% of its digital-asset cash each week to bitcoin. This strategy follows a form of “dollar-cost averaging,” buying in steady, smaller amounts instead of trying to time the market. Investing.com

Bitcoin inched up, hovering near $87,956. Meanwhile, major U.S.-listed crypto miners slipped early on, with Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms each falling roughly 5% to 6%.

Hyperscale Data, headquartered in Las Vegas, centers its main operations on data-center infrastructure linked to high-performance computing, as well as digital-asset ventures. Its investor site also emphasizes data-center operations and associated services.

The company plans to divest ACG by the third quarter of 2026, shifting its focus more toward data centers and digital assets.

The price action has been all over the place. Shares dropped sharply during Monday’s regular session before finding some footing in early Tuesday trading. It’s a clear sign that liquidity is scarce and sentiment can turn quickly in sub-dollar stocks.

That said, the situation works both ways. A drop in bitcoin’s price would quickly reduce the reported value of the treasury. Mining economics hinge on factors like network difficulty, power expenses, and capital access — all of which squeeze smaller players. Delays in the planned divestiture could also try investors’ patience.

Traders will be keeping an eye on whether bitcoin maintains its recent levels and if GPUS can sustain early gains when volume ramps up after the open. The next earnings report is due Feb. 19, data from Public.com shows.
