Under the agreement, BUZZ HPC will deploy 2,016 NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs in GB300 NVL72 rack-scale systems. The setup will use NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand networking and VAST Data’s storage platform.
The cluster is expected to go live later this year at the Bell AI Fabric facility in Merritt, British Columbia. The site runs entirely on hydroelectric power and uses closed-loop liquid cooling, which eliminates ongoing water consumption.
HIVE will retain ownership of the NVIDIA AI infrastructure once the deployment is complete. Delivery and deployment are expected in Q4 2026.
Funding the Deal
Capital expenditures for the deployment are expected to total around $185 million. HIVE will receive an upfront deposit of roughly 10% of the total contract value.
CEO Aydin Kilic said the company is using proceeds from its June 2026 convertible bond and debt financing to fund the GPU purchase. HIVE also said it has approximately 400 MW of capacity in Canada available for future data center development.
The company said the deposit, combined with previously announced financing and equipment financing, is expected to support the full deployment.
