ME News reports that on August 3 (UTC+8), Hyperscale Data (NYSE: GPUS), an AI data center company with Bitcoin as its core asset, announced it has implemented a Bitcoin-collateralized decentralized finance (DeFi) financing strategy via the Morpho protocol. As of August 2, the company has secured approximately $30 million in Bitcoin-collateralized loans through the protocol, with a current floating interest rate of about 4.9%. The loans are backed by a portion of the company’s Bitcoin holdings, with proceeds allocated to support the construction and operations of its Michigan AI data center campus, as well as other general corporate purposes, while allowing the company to retain long-term ownership of the pledged Bitcoin. Milton Todd Ault III, Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data, stated that Bitcoin is no longer merely a reserve asset on the balance sheet but a strategic financial asset capable of generating liquidity without sacrificing ownership; the company will continue to maintain a prudent balance between uncollateralized Bitcoin and Bitcoin-collateralized borrowing to ensure financial flexibility for growth opportunities such as the expansion of its Michigan data center.
