Odaily News - Digital infrastructure company HIVE Digital Technologies' high-performance computing division, BUZZ High Performance Computing, has signed a five-year AI cloud services contract worth approximately $350 million with an undisclosed investment-grade enterprise client. The contract is expected to generate approximately $70 million in additional annual revenue, bringing BUZZ HPC's annualized revenue to approximately $180 million. BUZZ HPC will deploy 2,016 NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs, utilizing the GB300 NVL72 system, NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand networking, and VAST Data storage. The cluster is expected to become operational later this year at Bell's AI Fabric facility in Merritt, British Columbia, Canada, which runs on renewable hydroelectric power and closed-loop liquid cooling technology. HIVE estimates the project's capital expenditure at approximately $185 million, which will be funded through previously announced financing and new equipment debt. The company expects daily revenue of approximately $500,000 from its HPC and AI business once the cluster is fully operational, and plans to achieve $200 million in annualized GPU cloud services revenue by year-end. The company holds approximately 400 megawatts of capacity in Canada, which can support over 120,000 GPUs over the next two years. (Bitcoin.com News)
HIVE Executive Chairman Frank Holmes stated that the company's cluster of 504 NVIDIA B200 GPUs at Bell Canada's Manitoba AI fabric generates approximately $2.90 per GPU per hour in revenue; by comparison, HIVE's Bitcoin mining equipment generates approximately $0.12 per hour. HIVE's total revenue for fiscal year 2026 reached $298 million, up 158% year-over-year; digital currency revenue from Bitcoin mining grew 164%. During the same period, average hash rate stood at 22.2 EH/s, up 290% year-over-year, accounting for approximately 3% of the Bitcoin network's total hash rate, and the company mined 2,885 BTC. HIVE's BUZZ HPC division, which houses its AI and high-performance computing business, generated revenue of $19.5 million, up 94% from $10 million in the prior fiscal year. The company also signed GPU cloud agreements worth approximately $220 million with Bell and AI company Cohere, and raised $75 million through a note issuance to fund AI infrastructure expansion. HIVE is building a 320-megawatt AI data center in the Greater Toronto Area, with plans to eventually house more than 100,000 GPUs. The company stated that if the facility becomes fully operational in the second half of 2027, it could generate approximately $360 million in annualized recurring revenue.
Odaily Bitcoin mining company and data center Hive Digital Technologies has announced it will raise $100 million through the issuance of zero-coupon exchangeable senior notes due in 2031, aiming to further expand its computing infrastructure. Additionally, the company has signed a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) with a Swedish sovereign technology firm possessing an investment-grade credit rating, intending to lease approximately 30MW of computing capacity at its data center for a term of up to 10 years. Under the agreement, Hive will deploy approximately 25MW of IT computing capacity and plans to utilize up to 10,000 Nvidia GB300 GPUs. However, the LOI currently remains subject to further negotiations and the signing of a final definitive agreement. (DataCenterDynamics)
Bitcoin mining company HIVE's subsidiary BUZZ High Performance Computing has signed a three-year sovereign AI cloud infrastructure contract worth approximately $220 million with Bell AI Fabric and Cohere. Under the contract, BUZZ HPC will deploy a cluster containing 2,304 Nvidia Grace Blackwell GPUs at Bell's facility in Merritt, British Columbia.Funding for the Blackwell systems comes from the $115 million convertible note financing completed in April. The deployment is expected to become operational between late 2026 and early 2027, and is projected to add approximately $70 million to the company's current $35 million in annual recurring revenue. Additionally, HIVE has received approval to acquire a 32-megawatt data center in Big Boden, Sweden, and plans to upgrade it to support enterprise-grade AI workloads. (The Block)
Bitcoin mining company HIVE Digital announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, BUZZ High Performance Computing (BUZZ HPC), has entered into a sovereign AI infrastructure partnership with Bell Canada and Cohere. The collaboration will integrate Bell AI Fabric’s data center and network infrastructure, Cohere’s large language models and enterprise-grade AI capabilities, and BUZZ HPC’s computing platform—built on NVIDIA-accelerated GPU cloud and AI factory technologies. BUZZ HPC disclosed that it has signed a three-year GPU cloud contract valued at up to $220 million and will procure GB200 NVL72 rack-scale systems comprising 2,304 NVIDIA Grace Blackwell GPUs. This AI cluster will provide compute power for Cohere’s foundational models and enterprise AI applications.
Bitcoin mining company HIVE Digital Technologies has acquired land in the Toronto area for $58 million, planning to build an industrial-scale AI computing center through its subsidiary BUZZ High Performance Computing. Once fully operational, the facility is expected to support approximately 320 MW of capacity and over 100,000 GPUs—potentially making it one of Canada’s largest computing “super-factories.” Following the announcement, HIVE’s stock surged nearly 45%. Just two weeks earlier, HIVE had raised $115 million to expand its global data center footprint and GPU capacity.
Odaily News: HIVE Digital Technologies, a technology company specializing in crypto mining and high-performance computing hosting, announced that its subsidiary has completed a private placement of $115 million in 0% interest exchangeable senior notes (maturing in 2031). The offering included an over-allotment option of $15 million, indicating strong institutional demand.HIVE Digital stated that the net proceeds from this financing are approximately $109.5 million. The funds will be primarily used for capital expenditures (including GPU procurement), data center construction, general corporate purposes, and to support its AI infrastructure expansion strategy. The initial conversion price for the notes is approximately $2.57 per share, representing a premium of about 17.5% over the pre-issuance stock price, with a capped hedge price premium reaching 125%. This zero-interest financing introduces a new group of institutional investors while helping achieve its 2026 growth targets under reduced capital costs.
