HIVE's BUZZ HPC Lands $129M Fixed-Rate 9.0% Loan to Fund NVIDIA GB200 AI Cluster
HIVE sits 17% above its 52-week low of $1.73.
Summary
BUZZ Alpha Cloud, an indirect HIVE subsidiary, signed a three-year $129 million credit facility at a fixed 9.0% rate, sized at roughly 80% of the cost of the GPU cluster it buys. The money funds a $165 million NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 deployment tied to the three-year Cohere sovereign AI contract worth $225 million in total contract value. No common shares are issued; the remaining equity portion comes from the $245 million of 0% convertible bonds sold earlier this year, so dilution is already accounted for. The structure is non-recourse beyond a limited guarantee from BUZZ HPC and a pledge of BUZZ Alpha Cloud equity, with repayment from contract revenue on a fixed amortization schedule. Fixed-rate debt against contracted cash flow is a cleaner setup than the variable-rate borrowing management says peers are using. GPU delivery is expected toward the end of Q4 2026, which is when the revenue ramp actually begins.
