Bitzero (CSE:BITZ.U) Partners with CBRE and Hydra Host to Commercialize AI-Ready Data Center Capacity

VANCOUVER, BC — January 13, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Bitzero Holdings Inc. has partnered with CBRE and Hydra Host to commercialize AI-ready data center capacity at its Kokemäki, Finland, and Namsskogan, Norway sites for hyperscale and AI-focused tenants.

The dual-track commercialization strategy positions Bitzero’s low-carbon gigawatt potential capacity in front of the world’s largest hyperscale customers and emerging AI factories, with long-term, dedicated resources and quick-deploy, near-term GPU capacity.

CBRE will act as Bitzero’s strategic real estate broker for its wholly-owned Finland site to bring the site to market for partnership opportunities with hyperscale customers seeking capacity for AI and other high-performance computing workloads. CBRE’s role is limited to advisory and brokerage services in connection with marketing the Finland site to prospective tenants and partners.

Power for the Finland site is currently scheduled to go live in Q1 2027. Bitzero has also started to engage an engineering firm to support pre-design work for the first 200MW of development. The company has seen strong demand in the Nordic region.

According to Bitzero’s President and CEO Mohammed Bakhashwain, the strategic alliance allows anchor tenants to lock in high-demand capacity now. CBRE’s global reach will accelerate momentum and maximize the value of assets during the prime growth stage of the AI era.

Hydra Host’s GPU-as-a-service model will enable Bitzero to rapidly deploy, operate, and monetize GPU capacity for enterprise, neocloud, and AI-native workloads, expanding utilization beyond traditional hyperscale leasing. Hydra’s Brokkr platform provides turnkey GPU lifecycle enablement, including management, monitoring, and monetization, along with access to Bitzero resources for customers anywhere in the world through a unified global API. This managed service approach allows Bitzero to pursue multiple monetization strategies across Hydra’s global customer base, backed by Brokkr’s operations layer.

Hydra Host CEO and co-founder Aaron Ginn said that Bitzero brings the scale, distribution, and ‘asset-light’ operating model its international AI factory customers demand. He added that Hydra Host is excited to add Bitzero’s top-tier, low-carbon compute to its global GPU platform.

According to CBRE research, the European market is grappling with historically low HPC capacity, tight vacancies, and demand from hyperscale users. Vacancy rates are expected to remain below 10%, pushing pricing up by 10% or more in some markets.

CBRE manages approximately $6 billion in annual data center transaction value and has thousands of transactions across hundreds of markets worldwide.

Bitzero Holdings Inc. focuses on data center development, Bitcoin mining, and obtaining strategic data center hosting partnerships. Bitzero Holdings Inc. now has four data center locations in the North American and Scandinavian regions, powered by clean, low-carbon energy sources.

CBRE Group, Inc. is the world’s largest commercial real estate services and investment firm. The company has more than 140,000 employees serving clients in more than 100 countries.

Hydra Host is a next-generation infrastructure company operating high-performance GPU clusters across global data centers for family offices and global alternatives allocators, data centers, and energy operators.
