German data center and Bitcoin mining operator Northern Data spent $360 million to purchase GPUs to support its cloud computing services. This acquisition was made after Tether provided Northern Data with $609 million in debt financing. The purchase brought the company 384 HPE Cray XD supercomputers, equipped with approximately 8,200 NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs. The company added that its AI cloud facility is "100% carbon neutral," addressing energy-related issues that plague AI, data centers, and Bitcoin miners.
