AI data‑center and Bitcoin‑treasury hybrid trades near $0.29 as crypto strategy dominates the story.
Snapshot: Where Hyperscale Data Stands Today
Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS) was trading around $0.29 per share in early afternoon trading on December 10, 2025, leaving the stock more than 95% below its 52‑week high near $9.98 and only modestly above its recent low around $0.20. [1]
At this price, the company’s market capitalization is roughly $100 million, despite reporting trailing‑12‑month revenue of about $95 million and a net loss of roughly $45 million, implying a deeply negative profit margin near ‑47%. [2] The stock has also been extremely volatile: Finviz shows year‑to‑date performance around ‑94% and a beta above 2.5, underscoring how violently GPUS can move on news, Bitcoin swings and capital markets headlines. [3]
At the same time, Hyperscale has escalated a high‑conviction pivot: building an AI‑focused data center platform while accumulating a large Bitcoin treasury, backed by repeated equity and preferred‑stock financings. [4]
This article summarizes the latest stock price context, Bitcoin and balance‑sheet developments, forecasts and key risks as of December 10, 2025.
GPUS Stock Price and Trading Action on December 10, 2025
Across multiple realtime feeds, GPUS is quoted just under $0.30:
- Price: about $0.29–$0.295 intraday on December 10
- Day’s range: roughly $0.286 – $0.299
- 52‑week range:$0.20 – $9.98
- Market cap: around $100–105 million
- Average volume (30–90 days): ~40–75 million shares per day [5]

In other words, GPUS trades like a distressed, high‑beta micro‑cap: cheap on sales and book value, but with heavy losses, leverage, and extreme volatility.
Bitcoin Treasury Reaches ~$75 Million – 83% of Market Cap
The most important near‑term catalyst is Hyperscale’s December 9, 2025 press release announcing that its Bitcoin treasury, including both held Bitcoin and cash earmarked for future purchases, has reached approximately $75 million based on prices as of December 7. [7]
Key details from that disclosure: [8]
- The company (via subsidiary Sentinum) held about 451.85 BTC,
- including 64.37 BTC mined and 387.48 BTC purchased on the open market,
- with about 25 BTC bought just in the week ended December 7.
- Using a Bitcoin price of ~$90,405 on December 7, those BTC holdings were valued around $41 million.
- Hyperscale has additionally earmarked $34 million in cash for further Bitcoin purchases.
- Altogether, the Bitcoin‑plus‑cash “digital asset treasury” (DAT) totals roughly $75 million, equivalent to about 83% of Hyperscale’s market cap at the close of December 8.
This follows a series of rapid updates through the autumn:
- October–November 2025: the company reported its Bitcoin‑linked treasury climbing through $54M → $60M → $68.8M → $70.5M → ~$72.5M, at one point representing over 90% of its market value. [9]
- November 18: Hyperscale said it had joined the “global top 100 public Bitcoin treasury companies” with roughly 382 BTC. [10]
Management has framed this as part of a $100 million digital asset treasury strategy, with a stated goal of eventually pairing 100% of its market capitalization with Bitcoin holdings, accumulated via mining plus steady dollar‑cost averaging. [11]
For equity holders, the implication is stark:
- GPUS is increasingly behaving like a leveraged Bitcoin proxy that also owns an AI data‑center and legacy industrial assets.
- As the Bitcoin share of enterprise value rises, the stock’s correlation with BTC and crypto sentiment is likely to remain very high.
AI Data Center Strategy and the Michigan Campus
Behind the crypto headlines, Hyperscale is attempting to build a hybrid story: AI infrastructure + Bitcoin “hard‑asset” balance sheet.
From the company’s own materials and recent commentary: [12]
- Hyperscale operates data centers that offer colocation, hosting and managed services targeting AI and high‑performance computing (HPC) workloads.
- Its flagship site is an AI and Bitcoin campus in Michigan, currently around 30 MW of power capacity, with staged expansion plans to reach ~70 MW over ~20 months and up to roughly 340 MW at full build‑out, subject to financing and utility agreements. [13]
- The company has announced orders and deployments of thousands of new‑generation Bitmain miners and plans to launch an on‑demand NVIDIA GPU cloud from the Michigan site, positioning the campus as both a Bitcoin mining hub and GPU compute provider for AI customers. [14]
Hyperscale’s corporate site markets: [15]
- Up to 400 MW of power capacity,
- High uptime (99.9%),
- 85% “green energy”, and
- A pitch of “AI in the data centers, Bitcoin on the balance sheet,” with colocation, managed services, consulting and cloud offerings layered on top.
The strategic vision—as laid out in a November 12 stockholder letter from Executive Chairman Milton “Todd” Ault III—is to become a pure‑play AI and digital‑asset infrastructure company after separating legacy holdings in Ault Capital Group (ACG). The company now expects that divestiture to occur in Q2 2026, after which Hyperscale would primarily own data centers and digital assets rather than a broader portfolio of industrial and financial businesses. [16]
Balance Sheet, Dilution and Debt: The Other Side of the Story
Massive ATM Equity Program
On November 5, 2025, Hyperscale announced the completion of a $125 million at‑the‑market (ATM) equity program, through which it sold 255,490,454 shares of Class A common stock for gross proceeds of $125 million. [17]
Those shares are a large portion of the now ~323 million shares outstanding reported by Finviz, explaining why GPUS trades as a sub‑$1 stock despite triple‑digit‑million revenue and asset figures. [18]
Management has said the ATM proceeds were used to: [19]
- Strengthen the balance sheet,
- Fund the Michigan data‑center expansion and Bitcoin strategy, and
- Support broader growth initiatives.
However, for common shareholders, the dilution is enormous, and the stock’s long‑term chart reflects that. Finviz shows GPUS down over 95% year‑over‑year and more than 97% below its 52‑week high, even after major asset growth and digital‑asset accumulation. [20]
Debt Reduction and New Convertible Notes
Alongside equity issuance, Hyperscale has been actively restructuring its liabilities:
- Earlier in 2025, the company announced debt reductions of around $25–30 million, positioning this as balance‑sheet de‑risking while continuing to build its AI and Bitcoin infrastructure. [21]
- On December 2, 2025, TipRanks reports that Hyperscale raised about $12.8 million via secured convertible notes with JGB Capital and other investors, backed in part by crypto collateral. [22]
These moves help extend liquidity but also add complexity and potential future dilution, since convertible noteholders can eventually become equity holders if conversion terms are met.
Asset Base and “Valuation Gap”
In the November stockholder letter and a separate November 6 press release, Hyperscale said that as of October 31, 2025 it estimated: [23]
- Total assets around $330 million,
- Net assets (assets minus liabilities) around $150 million,
- Net assets per share of about $0.47, compared with a current share price around $0.29.
The company and sympathetic commentators have framed this as evidence of a “valuation disconnect”—a discount to estimated net asset value (NAV). But investors have to weigh these figures against:
- The rapidly expanding share count,
- Ongoing operating losses,
- Heavy reliance on Bitcoin price appreciation, and
- Execution risk in scaling a capital‑intensive data‑center footprint.
Preferred Stock and High‑Yield Income Angle
While the common stock does not pay a dividend, Hyperscale’s Series D and Series E preferred shares offer double‑digit coupon rates and have become part of the story.
On November 18, 2025, the company declared: [24]
- A monthly cash dividend of $0.2708333 per share on its 13.00% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (ticker GPUS‑PD), and
- A monthly cash dividend of $0.20833 per share on its 10.00% Series E preferred stock,
with record date November 30 and payment date Wednesday, December 10, 2025.
Third‑party dividend trackers currently show forward yields in the mid‑teens for Series D based on recent trading prices, and note that these preferred dividends are paid monthly. [25]
The company also highlights that it has now paid dozens of consecutive monthly dividends on its Series D preferreds, using this to signal reliability to income‑focused investors. [26]
However:
- Preferred dividends sit senior to the common,
- They absorb cash that might otherwise go to growth capex or debt reduction, and
- They add another layer of capital‑structure complexity on top of common stock, ATM shares and convertible notes.
For common shareholders, the preferred stock is both a sign of financing flexibility and a competing claim on company resources.
Insider Buying and Market Sentiment
There has been at least one notable insider signal this month.
According to MarketBeat, Executive Chairman Milton “Todd” Ault III bought 100,000 GPUS shares on December 3, 2025 at an average price just under $0.30, for a transaction value of around $29,000. This was reported as his first open‑market purchase since April 2023 and brought his directly held common‑stock stake to about 153,666 shares (on top of large preferred holdings controlled through Ault & Company). [27]
On the sentiment side:
- StockTwits shows Hyperscale with thousands of followers, reflecting heavy retail interest typical of volatile, crypto‑linked names. [28]
- Short interest sits around 5–6% of the float, according to Finviz, suggesting bears are active but not overwhelming relative to the massive daily volume. [29]
Insider buying at these levels can be read as a vote of confidence, but the relatively small dollar amount—compared with Hyperscale’s financing needs and Ault’s overall exposure—means the move is more symbolic than transformational.
What the Latest Forecasts and Models Say About GPUS
Technical and Algorithmic Price Predictions
Several data and AI‑driven services have updated short‑term forecasts for GPUS as of December 10, 2025. These are model‑based estimates, not guarantees, but they illustrate how different systems view the stock.
CoinCodex (technical/quant model): [30]
- Classifies overall sentiment as neutral, with an even split between bullish and bearish technical indicators.
- Projects:
- Tomorrow’s price around $0.30 (roughly +1–2%),
- One‑week target near $0.32–$0.33 (about +7–8%),
- One‑year forecast around $0.295 (slightly below current levels), and
- 2030 forecast closer to $0.21, implying potential long‑term downside from today’s price.
- Notes that GPUS has seen 9 green days out of the last 30 with ~24% price volatility over that period.
Intellectia.ai (technical trend analysis) describes Hyperscale’s moving‑average setup as “leaning more bullish” in the very near term, but still in a mid‑term bearish trend: [31]
- It identifies resistance around $0.36 and $0.39,
- Support around $0.25 and $0.22,
- And warns that a break below support could trigger fresh sell signals, while breaks above resistance may generate buy signals.
StockInvest.us, which issues daily trading calls, currently labels GPUS a “sell candidate”, despite noting a 7.14% gain on December 9. Their model points to high volatility, a deteriorating long‑term trend and a negative risk‑reward profile for swing traders since late November. [32]
WalletInvestor, another algorithmic platform, is more optimistic in the short term, suggesting: [33]
- A 14‑day price target around $0.34 (roughly +15% from current levels),
- But also publishing extremely aggressive long‑run scenarios that should be treated with considerable skepticism, especially given the company’s fundamentals and dilution history.
AI‑Assisted Fundamental Views
On the fundamentals side, TipRanks’ AI Stock Analysis (using its own large‑language‑model framework) assigns Hyperscale a “Neutral” AI rating with an implied price target around $0.27, about 5% below the current price. [34]
The AI summary highlights:
- Negative factors:
- Declining revenue,
- High leverage, and
- Negative profitability and weak cash flow.
- Positive factors:
- Debt reduction and improved asset base,
- Strategic partnerships and infrastructure build‑out, and
- Flexible financing (e.g., convertible notes).
TipRanks notes that there is effectively no traditional Wall Street analyst coverage providing 12‑month targets—underscoring GPUS’s status as a retail‑driven micro‑cap rather than a widely followed institutional name. [35]
Takeaway on forecasts:
- Short‑term models mostly expect continued high volatility with a slight upward drift over days or weeks.
- Longer‑term algorithmic forecasts are all over the map and often don’t fully account for future dilution, Bitcoin price swings or regulatory risk.
- AI‑based fundamental screens lean toward a cautious or neutral stance, reflecting the combination of asset growth and heavy financial strain.
Key Risks for Hyperscale Data Shareholders
Given the above, several risk themes stand out:
- Bitcoin Concentration Risk
With the Bitcoin treasury plus allocated cash now around $75 million—roughly 80–90% of market cap at recent prices—GPUS equity is heavily exposed to BTC price swings. [36] A sharp Bitcoin drawdown could compress both book value and market sentiment simultaneously. - Dilution and Capital Structure Complexity
The $125 million ATM program added more than 255 million new common shares, while convertible notes and multiple preferred series layer on additional claims. [37] Future financing could involve further equity issuance or conversions, diluting existing holders. - High Leverage and Negative Profitability
Even after debt reductions, the company’s debt‑to‑equity ratio, negative margins and weak current ratio point to a stressed balance sheet. [38] Execution delays in Michigan or prolonged crypto weakness could strain liquidity. - Execution Risk in AI/Data‑Center Expansion
Scaling to 70–340 MW at the Michigan campus depends on regulatory approvals, utility agreements and substantial capex. [39] Competing against better‑capitalized hyperscale cloud and colocation players adds further uncertainty. - Regulatory and Market‑Structure Risk
The intersection of crypto, AI infrastructure, complex financing and retail trading makes Hyperscale sensitive to:- Crypto regulation,
- Securities‑offering rules, and
- Exchange listing standards (the company only recently regained NYSE American compliance). [40]
- Micro‑Cap Volatility and Liquidity
With a sub‑$1 share price, high volume and active short interest, GPUS is prone to outsized intraday moves, making position sizing and risk management crucial for any trader considering the name. [41]
Bottom Line: A High‑Risk Bet on Bitcoin‑Anchored AI Infrastructure
As of December 10, 2025, Hyperscale Data sits at an unusual crossroads:
- On one side, it has:
- A rapidly growing Bitcoin treasury,
- Ambitious AI data‑center and GPU‑cloud plans, and
- An expanding asset base anchored by its Michigan campus and digital holdings. [42]
- On the other, it faces:
- Steep cumulative dilution,
- High leverage and ongoing losses,
- A complex capital stack (common, preferred, convertibles), and
- Dependence on continued access to capital markets and a supportive Bitcoin environment. [43]
Most AI and technical‑forecast tools currently lean neutral to slightly constructive in the very short term, but none of them remove the structural risks, nor do they reflect scenario shocks like a 50% Bitcoin correction or a stalled Michigan build‑out. [44]
For investors, GPUS functions less like a traditional data‑center stock and more like a speculative vehicle at the intersection of crypto, high‑yield financing and AI infrastructure. Any position in the common shares should be sized with the assumption that large drawdowns are not just possible but likely over time.
