In August 2026, Hyperscale Data sold approximately 686 Bitcoin for about $43.4 million, then used part of the proceeds to repay all of its Bitcoin-backed loans on Morpho, a decentralized lending protocol, according to its quarterly filing.

The repayment released the pledged collateral and left the company with no outstanding Morpho borrowings, removing the immediate loan-related collateral exposure.

The result resolves one source of financing pressure, but leaves a larger problem flagged by the company. Hyperscale said its available liquidity is not expected to cover operating requirements, obligations, and planned capital expenditures for the next 12 months, raising doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern.

As of June 30, Hyperscale had roughly $16 million of Morpho borrowings secured by cbBTC with a carrying value of about $25.4 million. After the quarter ended, it received another $31.6 million in aggregate net proceeds from additional Bitcoin-backed borrowing through Morpho.

Hyperscale then sold the 686 Bitcoin in August 2026, and the filing says only that a portion of the $43.4 million in proceeds repaid the Morpho balances in full.

The completed repayment is the key change from Aug. 6, when an earlier 150.5-Bitcoin sale happened. The filing says Hyperscale received the additional borrowing after June 30, before eliminating the DeFi debt altogether in August.
