Northern Data AG (ETR: ) (“Northern Data Group”, “Northern Data” or “the Group”), a leading provider of AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC) solutions, today announces that it is exploring the divestment of its heritage crypto mining business, Peak Mining.
The potential divestment of Peak Mining will solidify Northern Data as a pure-play AI Solutions business, which includes Europe’s largest Generative AI Cloud platform, and a portfolio of innovative, purpose-built Data Centers.
Following Q3 2024 financial results, which demonstrated the third consecutive quarter of strong sequential growth in its AI Solutions business – Northern Data aims to accelerate opportunities to innovate and provide customers with the tools that they need, alongside the highest quality and most sustainable infrastructure which will power the next chapter of AI innovation.
Possible proceeds from the potential divestment of Peak Mining are to be invested into the development and growth of its AI product platform – specifically its Dynamic Enablement Services, which will include new software capabilities and a range of managed services. Investments would also be made in Data Center acquisition and development, and in the purchase of additional AI GPUs.
