HIVE Digital Technologies Secures $100M Raise to Accelerate AI and HPC Expansion
Hive Digital Technologies announced a $100 million private placement, up from an initial $75 million target, with a 0 % coupon reflecting strong investor conviction. The capital raise is intended to fund the company’s aggressive expansion in artificial‑intelligence (AI) and high‑performance computing (HPC) services. In the past six months the firm brought 300 MW of power online in Paraguay, boosting its hash rate from 6 to 25 exahash and reportedly setting an industry‑record pace of an exahash per week. GPU‑related revenue jumped 70 % in Q1, climbing from $20 million to $35 million, and the company now aims to reach $200 million annual recurring revenue by 2026. CEO Aydin Kilic highlighted the partnership with Bell Canada to upgrade existing data centres with liquid‑cooled, high‑density Blackwell GPUs, adding 550 NVIDIA units in Winnipeg and planning to scale to 11,000 GPUs. He described the new funding as “rocket fuel” that will accelerate GPU acquisition and drive a “massive catalyst for rerating.” The raise also supports Hive’s upcoming Nasdaq listing and pursuit of MSCI index inclusion, moves that could draw institutional capital and ETF inflows. By combining low‑CapEx expansion with a vertically integrated mining and AI compute model, Hive positions itself to capture growth in both cryptocurrency mining and enterprise AI workloads.
