The collaboration strengthens Bitzero’s growing ecosystem of leading infrastructure and technology partners

Vancouver, British Columbia – August 4th, 2026 // Bitzero Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: AIBZ) (CSE: AIBZ.U) (FSE:000) (“Bitzero” or the “Company”), a provider of sustainable high-performance compute (“HPC”) and AI data center infrastructure, today announced a collaboration with Vertiv, a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, further strengthening Bitzero’s growing ecosystem of technical, engineering, and supply chain providers supporting the delivery of next-generation data center infrastructure.

Further to Bitzero’s previously announced partnerships, Vertiv adds deep expertise in critical power, thermal management, and infrastructure deployment to support the design and delivery of AI, HPC, and hyperscale data centers. The relationship expands Bitzero’s access to proven technologies and engineering capabilities that can help accelerate project execution while supporting performance, efficiency, and scalability requirements.

Vertiv technologies and expertise are expected to serve as a key pillar within Bitzero’s broader execution platform, bringing global expertise in critical power and cooling systems, including advanced liquid cooling design and engineering capabilities required for modern AI and HPC environments. As compute density increases and customer requirements evolve, integrated end-to-end infrastructure systems and modular solutions are becoming increasingly central to the successful deployment of resilient, scalable, and efficient digital infrastructure, helping customers accelerate deployment and reduce time to token.

The collaboration reflects Bitzero’s continued focus on building an integrated network of industry-leading providers across technical design, project execution, and supply chain coordination. By deepening its relationships with specialized infrastructure leaders, the Company is positioning itself to deliver high-performance compute environments that meet the demands of hyperscale, AI, and other advanced workloads.

“Bitzero is intentionally building an ecosystem of leading providers across every critical layer of data center delivery,” said Bitzero Founder & CEO, Mohammed Bakhashwain. “Following our previously announced relationships, Vertiv further enhances our technical depth across critical power, thermal management, and infrastructure solutions, while strengthening our supply chain capabilities as we continue advancing our platform for hyperscale, AI, and HPC applications.”

“Successfully scaling AI requires more than advanced compute, it requires end-to-end infrastructure capable of supporting increasingly demanding power and thermal profiles,” said Paul Ryan, president for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at Vertiv. “Vertiv draws on decades of experience in critical digital infrastructure to help organizations deploy and operate the power and cooling systems that underpin AI and HPC environments, helping accelerate AI readiness and support faster time-to-token outcomes. We are pleased to support Mohammed and the Bitzero team as it expands its capabilities to meet growing customer demand.”

As Bitzero continues to advance its development strategy, the Company remains focused on bringing together the expertise, infrastructure providers, and delivery capabilities necessary to support long-term growth across its portfolio of sites.
