In addition to these achievements, the Company is committed to expanding its data center infrastructure. The Company is actively exploring the potential availability of additional power in Montana to enhance Sentinum's operational capacity. Furthermore, the Company is making strides in Michigan, where it plans to transform its existing data center into a hyperscale facility.
Will Horne, CEO of Ault Alliance, emphasized the Company's commitment to scaling its Michigan data center, "We are dedicated to building our Michigan data center into a hyperscale facility. We are currently exploring opportunities to lease all 30 megawatts ("MWs") of capacity to customers, with some expressing long-term interest to lease significantly more MWs if we are able to expand the data center's capacity to 300 MWs. Combined with our data center in Montana, we believe we have the ability to significantly expand the number of MWs of power that may be available in the future. We see significant future value in our data center operations."
As part of its strategic refocus, the Company recently announced it intends to change its name to Hyperscale Data, Inc. ("Hyperscale Data") and issue one or more special dividends to stockholders of stock in its subsidiaries that are not related to the artificial intelligence ("AI") data-center business. This move reflects the Company's intention to concentrate its resources and efforts on the development and expansion of its Michigan and Montana facilities within the data center space. The spin-off will allow the Company to streamline operations and focus on growing its AI digital infrastructure business.
Milton "Todd" Ault III, Executive Chairman of Ault Alliance, added, "My day-to-day role will be focused on the subsidiaries that will be spun out. Other than my board duties, I currently do not plan to be involved in the executive leadership of the Hyperscale Data company. We expect Will Horne and Jay Looney will lead the executive team in Hyperscale Data, which will be focused on growing the core business."
The Company also announced plans to update its Bitcoin mining results on a quarterly basis, providing regular insights into the performance and progress of its mining operations. Looking ahead, Will Horne remarked, "We expect the AI-driven data centers to generate greater long-term revenues than Bitcoin. Our focus on these cutting-edge facilities is central to our growth strategy and long-term vision."
Ault Alliance notes that all estimates and other projections are subject to the volatility in Bitcoin market price, the fluctuation in the mining difficulty level, maintaining sufficient amount of power to continuously mine Bitcoin at current levels, the ability to build out and provide the necessary power for miners, and other factors that may impact the results of Bitcoin mining production or operations.
