Hyperscale Data has shut down Bitcoin mining at its Michigan facility as the company converts the site toward artificial-intelligence data-center infrastructure.
The company’s Bitcoin miners were switched off after an inspection by an unidentified California-based cloud-computing customer. Hyperscale intends to sell the mining equipment associated with the site.
The AI agreement begins with approximately 20 megawatts of computing capacity under an initial 10-year contract.
If both optional five-year extensions are exercised, Hyperscale estimates the arrangement could generate more than $1.2 billion over 20 years. An additional 32 MW option could potentially push total contract revenue above $3 billion, although those figures depend on future options and expansion.
The Michigan site could ultimately support roughly 340 MW of capacity, and Hyperscale continues to describe its broader corporate strategy as combining AI infrastructure with Bitcoin held on its balance sheet.
TOKEN RECON ASSESSMENT
Bitcoin mining is increasingly competing directly with AI for electricity, data-center space and high-capacity infrastructure.
When operators can earn substantially more by leasing power to AI customers, marginal mining capacity may continue migrating toward compute workloads. That could reshape North American mining economics even if companies continue holding BTC as treasury assets.
