HIVE secures $129 million 9% loan to fund $165 million NVIDIA GPU cluster for Canadian AI contract

HIVE Digital Technologies announced a fixed‑rate credit facility of approximately $129 million at 9.0% interest for a three‑year term. The proceeds will purchase a $165 million NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 GPU cluster to support a three‑year sovereign AI contract with Cohere in Canada. The loan is secured by the GPUs and will be repaid from contract revenue, with delivery of the hardware expected by the end of Q4 2026.

The company says the non‑dilutive financing gives predictable cash flow and strengthens its position in Canada’s AI market. The fixed‑rate debt also differentiates HIVE from peers borrowing at variable rates.
