HIVE Digital Technologies hits 23 EH/s, expands HPC/AI data centers in Canada and Sweden
HIVE Digital Technologies has expanded its Bitcoin mining operations to 23 exahashes per second (EH/s) and is simultaneously advancing its global HPC and AI data center strategy, including new Tier III+ facilities in Canada and retrofits in Sweden.
- HIVE’s Bitcoin mining capacity surged to 23 EH/s, marking 283% year-to-date growth.
- Acquisition of 32.5 acres in Grand Falls, New Brunswick, supports HIVE’s first Tier III+ HPC and AI data center in Atlantic Canada, capable of hosting over 25,000 next-generation GPUs.
- Retrofitting of Boden, Sweden facility and Toronto expansion with Bell colocation will add 6,000 next-gen GPUs by 2026, bringing long-term global HPC capacity to around 36,000 GPUs.
Nasdaq-traded HIVE Digital Technologies has announced an expansion of its Bitcoin mining operations, bringing its global mining capacity to 23 EH/s, representing 283% year-to-date growth.
The company also completed the acquisition of 32.5 acres in Grand Falls, New Brunswick, adjacent to its existing 6-acre site. The expanded property will serve as a foundation for HIVE’s first Tier III+ high-performance computing and AI data center in Atlantic Canada, capable of hosting over 25,000 next-generation GPUs. The facility leverages abundant hydroelectric power, with 70 megawatts currently dedicated to mining operations and an 80 MW on-site substation.
In addition to Canadian expansion, HIVE is retrofitting its Boden, Sweden facility from a Tier I mining center into a liquid-cooled Tier III+ HPC center. A Toronto acquisition, combined with a colocation partnership with Bell, will bring an additional 4,000 GPUs online in 2026. By the end of 2026, HIVE expects to operate over 6,000 next-generation GPUs, with long-term HPC capacity projected at approximately 36,000 GPUs globally.
“HIVE is a pioneer in repurposing stranded and surplus renewable energy for digital infrastructure, and is now turbocharging the transition from Bitcoin mining Tier I to Tier III+ HPC data centers in Canada and Sweden. Its Tier III+ HPC expansions aren’t just additions—they are strategic accelerators, delivering scalable, green-powered compute that slashes deployment timelines and costs for hyperscalers chasing the AI edge. HIVE’s wholly owned HPC/AI subsidiary BUZZ HPC plans to scale its HPC data center capacity to support over 30,000 high-performance GPUs for AI cloud,” said Frank Holmes, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of HIVE Digital Technologies .
HIVE also announced the issuance of 2,720,900 Restricted Share Units to employees, officers, and consultants to incentivize long-term performance and align with shareholder interests.
With these moves, HIVE is advancing its dual-engine strategy, combining ongoing Bitcoin mining with the development of HPC-focused data centers. Its Valenzuela, Paraguay campus is already fully deployed with ASICs and hydro-cooled containers, supporting efficient, renewable-powered mining operations. The company expects to reach 25 EH/s by late November, targeting mining efficiency of 17.5 J/TH.

The AI boom may follow the path of the 19th-century railway bubble, and builders may not be the ultimate winners
Goldman Sachs analyst Bobby Molavi compared the current situation to the 19th-century British railway mania: 500 companies spent more than the nation's annual income building 8,000 miles of railway, with most early investors losing out, while the real beneficiaries were the later "passengers." He pointed out that the current AI craze is driven by both debt and momentum, and that the S&P 500’s forward P/E ratio of 18x is only "a bit cheaper." Whether the builders can retain value is uncertain, and history does not offer an optimistic answer.
If Anthropic's IPO goes smoothly and the stock price rises next week, then everything remains the same for AI. Otherwise, some companies will go bankrupt.
The shrinking valuations of two major giants have triggered a chain reaction—investors are adopting more conservative revenue multiples for AI startups and are directly halting high-valuation financing for companies with zero revenue. Multiple venture capital firms have advised their portfolio companies to lower valuation expectations and to quickly build up cash reserves. Market participants warn that the outcome of Anthropic’s IPO will be a barometer for the industry: if successful, the boom will continue; if it fails, some companies may face elimination.

For Corning, the recent profit growth mainly comes from the expansion of AI clusters. As the number of optical links crossing cabinets and campuses increases, customers need to deploy more optical fibers within limited conduit and cabinet space, thus driving demand for high-density optical cables and connection systems.
