Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 23, 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 that it has secured a reservation of approximately 33 hectares of industrial land in Finland, further expanding the Company's Nordic development portfolio.

The reservation represents an additional step in Bitzero's continued land development and infrastructure strategy as it builds a long-term platform to support hyperscale, HPC, and next-generation data center growth across the Nordics. Based on current planning assumptions, the initial phase of the site is expected to support up to 60MW of capacity, providing Bitzero with another potential pathway to expand its footprint over time.

Pursuant to a reservation agreement entered into with a local municipality in Finland, the land has been reserved for a period of six months. During the reservation period, Bitzero expects to leverage its ecosystem in Finland to advance engineering work, electrical connections, and identify long-lead infrastructure items required to support future site development. The site also benefits from a 110kV transmission line running through the property, an important attribute for the Company as it continues to evaluate efficient and scalable power access opportunities. Terms and conditions of any definitive agreement with respect to an acquisition or lease of the site will be disclosed in a subsequent news release once final.

The Finland site aligns with Bitzero's broader commitment to sustainable infrastructure development. The Company's investigations indicate that the transmission line serving the area is fed by renewable and green energy sources, which aligns with the Company's strategy of maintaining a low-carbon footprint while expanding the power and infrastructure capabilities needed for advanced compute deployments.

"Securing this reservation in Finland is another practical step in the continued expansion of our power pipeline," said Bitzero Founder & CEO, Mohammed Bakhashwain. "While this is an early-stage milestone, it reflects our disciplined approach to land development and our broader vision of building Bitzero into a leading infrastructure and power platform for HPC and data center customers over the coming years. During the reservation period, we intend to work closely with our local ecosystem to further advance the engineering, power, and development planning for the site."

The Company views this agreement as part of its ongoing effort to expand a portfolio of strategically located sites capable of supporting future digital infrastructure demand. By continuing to build in the Nordics, Bitzero is working towards reinforcing its long-term development ethos around power access, sustainability, and scalable execution.
