BITZERO HOLDINGS INC. PARTNERS WITH CBRE & HYDRA HOST TO COMMERCIALIZE & DEPLOY AI COMPUTE CAPABILITY ACROSS HYPERSCALE & GPU DEMAND CHANNELS

Bitzero Holdings Inc. has entered into strategic partnerships with CBRE Group Inc. and Hydra Host to commercialize AI-ready (artificial intelligence) data centre capacity at its Kokemaki, Finland, and Namsskogan, Norway, sites for hyperscale and AI-focused tenants.

This dual-track commercialization strategy positions Bitzero's low-carbon gigawatt potential capacity in front of the world's largest hyperscale customers and emerging AI factories, with both long-term, dedicated resources and quick-deploy, near-term GPU (graphics processing unit) capacity to maximize utilization and revenue across a broad AI customer base.

CBRE to market 200-megawatt Kokemaki, Finland, site to hyperscalers

Bitzero has engaged CBRE to act as the company's strategic real estate broker for its wholly owned Finland site, supporting Bitzero's efforts to bring the site to market for potential partnership opportunities with hyperscale customers seeking capacity for AI and other high-performance computing (HPC) workloads.

CBRE's role is limited to advisory and brokerage services in connection with marketing the Finland site to prospective tenants and partners.

Key highlights:

• Strategic brokerage engagement: CBRE has been contracted to act as Bitzero's strategic broker to market the Finland site to hyperscale customers evaluating capacity for AI workloads.
• Power schedule: Power for the Finland site is currently scheduled to go live in Q1 2027.
• Nordic demand dynamics: The company has seen strong demand in the Nordic region, supported by the ability to provide significant power and infrastructure support.
• Early-stage engineering work: Bitzero has also started to engage an engineering firm to support predesign work for the first 200 megawatts of development.

"This strategic alliance marks a pivotal point in our growth strategy," said Mohammed Bakhashwain, Bitzero's president and chief executive officer. "It not only allows anchor tenants to lock in high-demand capacity now, but CBRE's global reach will also accelerate our momentum and maximize the value of our assets during the prime growth stage of the AI era."

Hydra's Brokkr platform accelerates AI deployment and monetization

Hydra Host's GPU-as-a-service model will enable Bitzero to rapidly deploy, operate and monetize GPU capacity for enterprise, neocloud and AI-native workloads, expanding utilization beyond traditional hyperscale leasing.

Hydra's Brokkr platform provides turnkey GPU life-cycle enablement, including management, monitoring and monetization, along with access to Bitzero resources for customers anywhere in the world through a unified global API (application programming interface). This managed service approach allows Bitzero to pursue multiple monetization strategies across Hydra's global customer base, backed by Brokkr's operations layer to accelerate onboarding, utilization and revenue capture across high-demand channels.

"Bitzero brings the scale, distribution and asset-light operating model our international AI factory customers demand," said Hydra Host chief executive officer and co-founder Aaron Ginn. "We're excited to add their top-tier, low-carbon compute to our global GPU platform, providing decentralized access and diversified capacity to our fast-growing global footprint."

Bitzero poised to deliver as AI capacity demand surges

According to CBRE research, the European market is already grappling with historically low HPC capacity, tight vacancies and fierce demand from hyperscale users -- a trend that is expected to persist even as AI-focused capacity deals have tripled year over year. Vacancy rates are expected to remain below 10 per cent, pushing pricing up by 10 per cent or more in some markets.

With thousands of transactions across hundreds of markets worldwide, CBRE manages approximately $6-billion in annual data centre transaction value. Its proprietary research, deep hyperscale relationships and global marketing infrastructure bring a level of credibility and strategic advisory that accelerates transactions with large-scale users.
