HIVE Executive Chairman Frank Holmes stated that the company's cluster of 504 NVIDIA B200 GPUs at Bell Canada's Manitoba AI fabric generates approximately $2.90 per GPU per hour in revenue; by comparison, HIVE's Bitcoin mining equipment generates approximately $0.12 per hour. HIVE's total revenue for fiscal year 2026 reached $298 million, up 158% year-over-year; digital currency revenue from Bitcoin mining grew 164%. During the same period, average hash rate stood at 22.2 EH/s, up 290% year-over-year, accounting for approximately 3% of the Bitcoin network's total hash rate, and the company mined 2,885 BTC. HIVE's BUZZ HPC division, which houses its AI and high-performance computing business, generated revenue of $19.5 million, up 94% from $10 million in the prior fiscal year. The company also signed GPU cloud agreements worth approximately $220 million with Bell and AI company Cohere, and raised $75 million through a note issuance to fund AI infrastructure expansion. HIVE is building a 320-megawatt AI data center in the Greater Toronto Area, with plans to eventually house more than 100,000 GPUs. The company stated that if the facility becomes fully operational in the second half of 2027, it could generate approximately $360 million in annualized recurring revenue.
Bitcoin mining company HIVE's subsidiary BUZZ High Performance Computing has signed a three-year sovereign AI cloud infrastructure contract worth approximately $220 million with Bell AI Fabric and Cohere. Under the contract, BUZZ HPC will deploy a cluster containing 2,304 Nvidia Grace Blackwell GPUs at Bell's facility in Merritt, British Columbia.Funding for the Blackwell systems comes from the $115 million convertible note financing completed in April. The deployment is expected to become operational between late 2026 and early 2027, and is projected to add approximately $70 million to the company's current $35 million in annual recurring revenue. Additionally, HIVE has received approval to acquire a 32-megawatt data center in Big Boden, Sweden, and plans to upgrade it to support enterprise-grade AI workloads. (The Block)
Bitcoin mining company HIVE Digital announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, BUZZ High Performance Computing (BUZZ HPC), has entered into a sovereign AI infrastructure partnership with Bell Canada and Cohere. The collaboration will integrate Bell AI Fabric’s data center and network infrastructure, Cohere’s large language models and enterprise-grade AI capabilities, and BUZZ HPC’s computing platform—built on NVIDIA-accelerated GPU cloud and AI factory technologies. BUZZ HPC disclosed that it has signed a three-year GPU cloud contract valued at up to $220 million and will procure GB200 NVL72 rack-scale systems comprising 2,304 NVIDIA Grace Blackwell GPUs. This AI cluster will provide compute power for Cohere’s foundational models and enterprise AI applications.
Bitcoin mining company HIVE Digital Technologies has acquired land in the Toronto area for $58 million, planning to build an industrial-scale AI computing center through its subsidiary BUZZ High Performance Computing. Once fully operational, the facility is expected to support approximately 320 MW of capacity and over 100,000 GPUs—potentially making it one of Canada’s largest computing “super-factories.” Following the announcement, HIVE’s stock surged nearly 45%. Just two weeks earlier, HIVE had raised $115 million to expand its global data center footprint and GPU capacity.
