TLDR
- Hyperscale’s $54M Bitcoin bet rattles investors as GPUS slides again
- GPUS dives despite $100M Bitcoin goal, testing faith in crypto pivot
- Hyperscale doubles down on Bitcoin, but market confidence wanes
- Bitcoin boost or burden? GPUS stock sinks amid $54M crypto drive
- Hyperscale’s bold crypto play sparks volatility and investor doubts
Hyperscale Data, Inc. (GPUS) saw its stock decline by 5.58% during regular hours, closing at $0.4060. After-hours trading added further pressure, dropping the price another 1.75% to $0.3989. This sharp movement occurred despite the company revealing a substantial Bitcoin treasury strategy.
The company’s current Bitcoin holdings and committed purchases now total approximately $54 million as of October 12, 2025. This amount represents around 59% of the firm’s total market capitalization based on October 13’s close. Still, the market response indicated unease, with shares reflecting heightened volatility.
Although the company highlighted this milestone, the price action suggests skepticism about its crypto-heavy focus. The week’s performance illustrated how market confidence can remain low despite ambitious asset accumulation. GPUS shares are now tracking a steeper downtrend, testing investor sentiment.
Sentinum Bitcoin Holdings Reach $15.1M
Sentinum, Hyperscale’s data center subsidiary, currently holds 130.7807 Bitcoin, with 29.0739 mined and 101.7068 bought from the market. Notably, it acquired 36.7950 Bitcoin just in the week ending October 12, 2025. Based on Bitcoin’s $115,170 closing price, Sentinum’s holdings now value approximately $15.1 million.
Sentinum supports both internal mining and hosting services tailored for high-performance computing workloads, including AI-related infrastructure. Its hybrid strategy enables the firm to accumulate crypto through multiple channels while maintaining operational income streams.
The company also earmarked $38.9 million in cash for continued open-market Bitcoin accumulation. These purchases are structured under a dollar-cost averaging (DCA) model to hedge against short-term price shocks. Through this method, the firm intends to gradually increase its crypto reserves over time.
DAT Strategy Aims for $100M Bitcoin Treasury
Hyperscale Data reaffirmed its commitment to building a $100 million Bitcoin treasury through its Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) initiative. The plan involves methodically deploying cash into Bitcoin, aiming to match 100% of the company’s market cap. Each week, the company targets allocating at least 5% of the set-aside funds into Bitcoin.
Purchases can vary based on market trends, internal strategy, or broader liquidity conditions. The company said it prefers to smooth out purchases over multiple weeks instead of relying on lump-sum entries. This controlled approach is central to its crypto acquisition roadmap.
Additionally, Hyperscale plans to release weekly Bitcoin updates every Tuesday to maintain transparency. This schedule is meant to inform stakeholders of progress toward the DAT goal. However, despite transparency and commitment, market reception remains mixed as crypto exposure deepens.
Future Outlook Focuses on Divestiture and Mining
Alongside the DAT strategy, Hyperscale plans to divest Ault Capital Group (ACG) by Q2 2026. After the divestiture, Hyperscale would focus solely on data centers and digital assets. The company expects this transition to streamline operations and sharpen its strategic focus.
ACG, its other subsidiary, previously helped Hyperscale maintain a diversified portfolio with investments across multiple sectors. The company now views its future more aligned with digital infrastructure and decentralized finance. Bitcoin mining, hosting, and crypto treasury will anchor its core mission post-divestiture.
As the company restructures, it remains to be seen if the market will reward its focused pivot. While the firm views crypto as a long-term value store, its short-term stock price remains pressured. The clash between ambition and valuation continues to define GPUS’s trajectory.
