This prospectus supplement is being filed to update and supplement the information solely with respect to the PEPA and Series G Preferred Stock contained in the prospectus dated June 3, 2025 (as may be supplemented or amended from time to time, the “Prospectus”), which forms part of our registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-287729) (the “Registration Statement”). Of the 36,705,883 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 (“common stock”), issuable upon conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock to the selling stockholders pursuant to the PEPA, the number of shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus supplement has been adjusted to reflect that 18,705,230 shares were previously sold by the selling stockholders pursuant to the Prospectus.
This prospectus supplement is not complete without the Prospectus. This prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus, which is to be delivered with this prospectus supplement, and is qualified by reference thereto, except to the extent that the information in this prospectus supplement updates or supersedes the information contained in the Prospectus. Please keep this prospectus supplement with your Prospectus for future reference. Capitalized terms used in this prospectus supplement and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings specified in the Prospectus.
On April 30, 2025, we entered into the PEPA with the selling stockholders for the issuance and sale of up to 156,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, the Company issued 156,000 shares of the Series G Preferred Stock to the selling stockholders, and upon full conversion thereof, 20,969,373 shares of our common stock, the resale of which is covered by the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. On August 14, 2025, we entered into the first amendment (the “Amendment”) to the PEPA, in order to increase our access to capital to fund the continued construction and development of our Polaris Forge 1 data center in Ellendale, North Dakota. The Amendment amends the PEPA to, among other things, (i) increase the aggregate commitment amount of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock from $150 million to $300 million, (ii) increase our access to capital by removing the Put Limitation (as defined in the PEPA) that had previously limited the aggregate purchase price for any Put Issuance (as defined in the PEPA) to no more than $75 million, and (iii) decrease the original issue discount from 4% to 2%.
In connection with the Amendment, on August 14, 2025, we filed an amendment (the “Certificate of Designation Amendment”) to the Series G Certificate of Designation, originally filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on April 30, 2025. The Certificate of Designation Amendment amends the Series G Certificate of Designation to, among other things, (i) increase the initial Floor Price (as set forth in Section 1.5(c)(i) of the Series G Certificate of Designation) to $12.50 from $4.25, and (ii) change the limit below which the Floor Price may not be reduced (as set forth in Section 1.5(c)(ii) of the Series G Certificate of Designation) to $4.33 from $1.34. The Floor Price sets the minimum floor for the conversion price of the Series G Preferred Stock, which price may not be reduced unless we determine to do so in our discretion.
We may amend or supplement the Prospectus from time to time by filing amendments or supplements as required. You should carefully read the Prospectus, this prospectus supplement and any prospectus supplement or amendment before you invest in our common stock. You also should read the documents we have referred you to in the “Where You Can Find More Information” section of the Prospectus for information about us and our financial statements.

PEPA
On April 30, 2025, we entered into the PEPA with the selling stockholders initially for the issuance and sale of up to 156,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock, pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The shares of the Series G Preferred Stock may be put to the selling stockholders from time to time at our discretion during the period commencing on the Commitment Date and terminating on the earlier of (i) August 14, 2028, (ii) the date on which the selling stockholders shall have made payment of the aggregate Purchase Price (as defined in the PEPA) for Put Issuances (as defined in the PEPA) pursuant to the PEPA equal to the Commitment Amount (as defined in the PEPA) or (iii) such date as there ceases to be a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock remaining under the Exchange Cap (as defined below). As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we issued 156,000 shares of the Series G Preferred Stock, which shares were subsequently converted by the selling stockholders into 20,969,373 shares of our common stock and, in accordance with the Certificate of Designations Amendment, 153,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock again became available for issuance under the PEPA. On August 14, 2025, we entered into the Amendment in order to increase our access to capital to fund the continued construction and development of Polaris Forge 1. The Amendment amends the PEPA to, among other things, (a) increase the aggregate commitment amount of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock from $150 million to $300 million, (b) increase our access to capital by removing the Put Limitation (as defined in the PEPA) that had previously limited the aggregate purchase price for any Put Issuance (as defined in the PEPA) to no more than $75 million, and (c) decrease the original issue discount from 4% to 2%. The maximum number of additional shares of Series G Preferred Stock issuable upon a Put Notice (as defined in the PEPA) under the PEPA, as amended by the Amendment, is 153,000.
Pursuant to the PEPA, we agreed to prepare and file with the SEC the Registration Statement, of which the Prospectus, as amended and supplement by this prospectus supplement, forms a part, registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock as soon as practicable after June 2, 2025, but in any case, no later than June 9, 2025 (subject to certain exceptions). The Registration Statement was filed on June 3, 2025 and became effective upon filing.
We are filing this prospectus supplement to supplement the disclosure set forth in the Prospectus with respect to the PEPA and the Series G Certificate of Designation, as amended by the Amendment and the Certificate of Designation Amendment, respectively.
The Series G Preferred Stock became convertible on June 3, 2025, the date on which a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Series G Preferred Stock was declared effective by the SEC. Conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock is subject to a customary 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation, as well as a 19.99% conversion limitation pursuant to the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules (the “Exchange Cap”).
On each conversion date, the conversion price for the Series G Preferred Stock being converted (the “Conversion Price”) will equal the greater of (i) 95% of the lowest daily Volume Weighted Average Price for each of the five trading days immediately preceding the conversion date and (ii) the initial floor price of $12.50, which may be reduced by the Company at any time in its sole discretion, but in no event below $4.33 (as may be adjusted from time to time, the “Floor Price”). Based on its initial stated value of $1,000 per share and the $12.50 initial Floor Price, the 153,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock issuable pursuant to the Amendment would be convertible into an aggregate of 12,240,000 shares of common stock.

If any selling stockholder is prevented from converting any portion of its Series G Preferred Stock because of the Exchange Cap, and such limitation continues for 18 months following the date that is 18 months following the issuance of such Series G Preferred Stock, or, if earlier, the date that is 36 months following the Commitment Date, then the portion of the Series G Preferred Stock held by such selling stockholder at such time shall be redeemed by the Company, within 10 trading days after such earlier date, at a price equal to 110% of $1,000, the stated value of such Series G Preferred Stock.
If, (i) the Volume Weighted Average Price (as defined in the Series G Certificate of Designation) for any trading day falls below the Floor Price, as may be adjusted from time to time, and then remains below the Floor Price for 10 consecutive trading days (which 10 consecutive trading day period shall not include any days prior to the original issuance date of the applicable Series G Preferred Stock) (the “VWAP Condition”) and (ii) while such VWAP Condition is met a selling stockholder delivers a Notice of Conversion (as defined in the Series G Certificate of Designation) in respect of any portion of Series G Preferred Stock held by such selling stockholder at such time (together, the “VWAP Limitation”), then such Notice of Conversion shall state whether such selling stockholder elects to either (x) convert the Series G Preferred Stock at the Conversion Price then in effect or (y) condition the conversion of the Series G Preferred stock on the Company electing to reduce the Floor Price, effective prior to effecting such conversion, to ninety-five percent (95%) of the lowest Volume Weighted Average Price during the five (5) Trading Day period immediately preceding and ending on the trading day immediately preceding such date of conversion (a “Conditional Notice of Conversion”). If the Company receives a Conditional Notice of Conversion, then the Company shall, at its election, (i) reduce the Floor Price as described in clause (y) of the foregoing sentence prior to giving effect to such conversion and, upon such election, the conversion shall be effected at such reduced Floor Price in accordance with the terms of the Series G Certificate of Designation, as amended by the Certificate of Designation Amendment, or (ii) in lieu of reducing the Floor Price and effecting such conversion, redeem such Series G Preferred Stock and pay to such selling stockholder, on a monthly basis beginning on the 1st day of the 1st month following the date of conversion in respect of such Conditional Notice of Conversion and continuing for 11 months thereafter, an amount equal to 1/12th of 105% of $1,000, the stated value of such Series G Preferred Stock; provided, however, that if the date that is 18 months following issuance of such Series G Preferred Stock, or, if earlier, the date that is 36 months following the Commitment Date, occurs during such 12-month period, then payment of the balance, if any, shall accelerate and become due and payable by the Company within 10 trading days of such earlier date. If the VWAP Limitation is met at any time after the Commitment Date and continues for each trading day through the date that is 18 months following issuance of such Series G Preferred Stock, or, if earlier, the date that is 36 months following the Commitment Date, and during such period a selling stockholder does not deliver a Notice of Conversion (or Conditional Notice of Conversion) in respect of any portion of its Series G Preferred Stock held by such selling stockholder at such time, then all Series G Preferred Stock held by such selling stockholder on the date that is 18 months following issuance of such Series G Preferred Stock, or, if earlier, the date that is 36 months following the Commitment Date, shall be redeemed by the Company, within 10 trading days of the date of such earlier date, at a price equal to 110% of $1,000, the stated value of such Series G Preferred Stock. All such redemptions, if any, shall be paid in cash by the Company.

We intend to use the net proceeds from our issuance of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock for working capital and general corporate purposes. Our management has broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from the issuance of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock. All the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the shares of our common stock offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to the Prospectus (as amended and supplemented by this prospectus supplement) were paid by us when we filed the Registration Statement.
