This news release constitutes a “designated news release” for the purposes of the Company’s amended and restated prospectus supplement dated November 18, 2025, to its short form base shelf prospectus dated May 15, 2025.
MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / March 13, 2026 / Digi Power X Inc. (“Digi Power X” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:DGXX)(Cboe Canada:DGX) today announced the launch of the next phase of development of US Data Centers, Inc. (“USDC”), a dedicated AI infrastructure platform focused on the development, manufacturing and global deployment of modular Tier III AI data centers, through an independent, private raise of capital. This phase was co-founded with Hans Vestberg, former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Verizon Communications and current board member of BlackRock, who will serve as Co-Founder and Senior Advisor to USDC.
This next phase of development is intended to establish USDC as a stand-alone and dedicated AI infrastructure manufacturing and deployment platform, while allowing Digi Power X to maintain a sharper focus on energy-optimized digital infrastructure operations.
Under this structure:
USDC will lead the manufacturing, distribution and global deployment of modular AI data center infrastructure.
Digi Power X will continue developing and operating energy-efficient digital infrastructure assets, including power generation and high-performance compute facilities.
This structure will position each company to capture growth across different sectors of the rapidly expanding AI infrastructure value chain, while allowing shareholders of the Company to participate in that growth through Digi Power X’s equity stake in USDC.
The ARMS™ Platform: Modular AI Infrastructure at Scale
At the core of US Data Centers, Inc. is the ARMS™ (AI-Ready Modular Solution) platform – a proprietary modular data center system engineered for the rapid deployment of high-density AI computing infrastructure.
The ARMS platform is purpose-built to solve one of the most pressing challenges facing the AI industry: the inability of traditional data center construction to keep pace with the accelerating demand for compute capacity. Where conventional facilities could require years to plan, permit and build, ARMS-based deployments can be commissioned in a fraction of that time.
Each ARMS unit is a self-contained, Tier III-certified modular data center designed to support advanced GPU clusters for large-scale AI workloads, including machine learning training, inference, and generative AI applications. Units are designed for rapid scalability, allowing customers to expand compute capacity incrementally as demand grows.

Business Model and Go-to-Market Strategy
USDC’s goal is to generate revenue through multiple channels, including direct infrastructure manufacturing and deployment for enterprise and sovereign customers.
Target customers include:
Hyperscalers and cloud service providers requiring rapid capacity expansion
Enterprise customers deploying private AI infrastructure
Sovereign AI initiatives requiring domestically controlled compute capacity
Colocation tenants seeking pre-built, high-density AI-ready facilities
The modular nature of the ARMS platform will allow USDC to serve customers across a wide range of deployment sizes, from single-unit installations to large-scale multi-megawatt campus deployments.
In order to capitalize the entity and work towards achieving these goals, USDC issued shares of Preferred Stock in an initial capital raising transaction that ascribes a valuation to USDC of approximately US$10 million, including the issuance of 3,200,000 shares of Preferred Stock for a total of US$800,000. Digi Power X remains a majority shareholder of USDC, holding shares of Common Stock constituting more than 50% of USDC’s equity.
Addressing the Global AI Infrastructure Gap
The rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence is creating unprecedented demand for high-performance computing infrastructure worldwide. Industry analysts estimate that global investment in AI infrastructure could reach hundreds of billions of dollars over the coming decade as enterprises, governments and cloud providers race to scale their AI capabilities.
USDC is positioning itself to capture a share of this opportunity by offering a faster, more flexible alternative to traditional data center development – developing and producing Tier III-certified AI infrastructure that can be delivered at the speed the market demands.
Leadership
Michel Amar, Chairman and CEO of Digi Power X, commented:
“We are extremely excited to partner with Hans Vestberg in this next phase of US Data Centers, Inc. Hans brings unparalleled experience in global telecommunications infrastructure and technology leadership. His involvement will significantly strengthen USDC’s ability to build a next-generation AI infrastructure platform designed to meet the growing global demand for AI compute.”
Hans Vestberg added:
“The global demand for AI computing is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. It’s a massive shift in the market. I see a clear opportunity for US Data Centers, Inc. to lead this space. By leveraging our scale and execution, we will build the next generation of infrastructure and create a truly world-class platform. I look forward to partnering with USDC leadership team to deliver on this vision and drive the business forward.”
