Hyperscale Data Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS) announced this week that its planned acquisition of up to $10 million in XRP will be retained exclusively on its balance sheet, unaffected by the potential divestiture of its subsidiary Ault Capital Group Inc. (ACG). Even if the spin-off occurs around December 31, 2025, as tentatively planned, ownership of the XRP assets will not shift to ACG.
Reinforcing AI Infrastructure Leadership Through Crypto Treasury Strategy
Executive chairman Milton “Todd” Ault III emphasized: “Hyperscale Data is continuing on its path to becoming a pureplay data center business, and we believe this XRP acquisition strategy will be a key part of the company’s overall treasury strategy.” While the firm pivots toward becoming a core provider of AI and high-performance computing infrastructure, ACG intends to initiate its own separate XRP accumulation strategy and will update stockholders on its XRP lending platform in the coming months.
Evaluating 36-Month Lockup and Potential Expansion
To further align with long-term strategic initiatives, the company is evaluating a 36-month lockup period for its XRP holdings, subject to internal milestones and overall market conditions. Additionally, the Board of Directors is actively considering expanding the previously announced $10 million XRP program in response to favorable market conditions, subject to available financing. Hyperscale Data believes XRP offers significant potential as a scalable and efficient digital asset for cross-border value transfer and emerging financial infrastructure.
Weekly Reporting and Institutional Confidence
Starting August 12, 2025, Hyperscale Data will release weekly reports summarizing XRP-related activities and cumulative holdings, providing transparency to investors. Crypto proponents point to XRP’s speed and transaction efficiency as key reasons for its continued institutional appeal. This move underscores the growing trend of companies integrating digital assets into corporate treasury strategies alongside core business transformations.
