Greater San Antonio Region Drives Industry Innovation, Creates Global University Powerhouse, Lures New Global Businesses, Air Service, Residents and Sets National Standards for 
City Services in Recent Resident Poll

SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — San Antonio is an industry hub for cybersecurity, advanced manufacturing and life sciences & health, and is among the fastest-growing metros in the U.S. today. As a burgeoning city, luring new businesses and air service, creating a world-class university, and adding more than 22,000 residents last year alone, it is doing a top-notch job setting the pace, especially in the quality and customer satisfaction of city services like public works, waste management, parks and recreation, and more.

San Antonio recently surveyed its residents and scored well above the national average for two key metrics: the “overall quality of city services” and “customer service,” registering 87% and 88% satisfaction rates, respectively. This compares to the national average for these metrics of 41% and 32% – a 112-175% improvement over the national norms. Learn more here.

“The results of this survey are really profound and showcase how ready San Antonio is to scale and support the transformational growth of our region,” said Jenna Saucedo-Herrera, president and CEO of greater:SATX.

Additional recent San Antonio news includes:

San Antonio was named the top office real estate market to watch by CoStar, a commercial real estate data firm. In 2024, more than half of greater:SATX projects won have been office projects across cybersecurity, financial services, and life sciences industries.In higher education news, the University of Texas San Antonio (UTSA) and UT Health San Antonio (UTHSA) announced their merger plans — and approval by the UT System board of regents — to form a world-class university for San Antonio, elevating the metro to the forefront of excellence in education, discovery, biomedical science, healthcare, and digital technology. The new unified institution, expected to be in place by 2025, will be led by now UTSA President Taylor Eighmy and will boast about 40,000 students, nearly 16,000 employees, six campuses, a $2.2 billion budget, a $1.1 billion endowment, and more than $6 billion in direct annual economic impact, according to officials.Driving innovation forward in life sciences & health, San Antonio also features the nation’s first dual degree for MD and MS in artificial intelligence, a program spearheaded by UTSA and UTHSA. The program will reside under the new unified organization beginning next year.In cybersecurity, San Antonio is the #2 city in the nation for cyber professionals, who are employed across 100-plus firms in the region. The only other metropolitan area with more cyber experts is Washington DC. In a nod to this fact, in 2025 the European-based InCyber Forum, an annual event convening the world’s top cybersecurity experts, will host its inaugural forum in the U.S. in San Antonio. As well, NukuDo, an innovative cybersecurity school that pays students while they attend, also selected San Antonio for its U.S. headquarters.In air service success, Condor Airlines began San Antonio’s first direct transatlantic service with flights to Frankfurt, and the San Antonio International Airport is poised to get more nonstop flights to the nation’s capital after the House voted to pass this year’s Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act this past May. Air service is important to support local businesses across core industries with direct flights to Washington, D.C. especially important to the cybersecurity and defense industries rooted here.  Toyota Texas also announced in June a $541 million investment, expanding its manufacturing presence and adding more than 400 new jobs in the San Antonio region, where it exclusively manufactures the Tundra truck and all-hybrid Sequoia SUV. Global agriculture and construction equipment manufacturer leader, JCB, chose San Antonio for its second North American manufacturing facility and broke ground in June for a $500 million, 720,000 sq. ft. advanced manufacturing facility that will bring more than 1,500 jobs to San Antonio over the first five years. This is the biggest investment for JCB in the company’s history and the largest single jobs investment for the region since Toyota Texas made San Antonio home in 2003.San Antonio has strong fiscal stewardship and in Aug. 2023 the city’s “AAA” general obligation bond ratings were reaffirmed by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Ratings with a stable outlook. San Antonio has among the highest bond ratings of any major city in the U.S. Bond ratings are important as they show financial stability and investor and economic confidence.

“So far in 2024, San Antonio’s momentum is rapid, strategic, and thriving,” said Saucedo-Herrera. “With our partners across the region, we are tremendously proud of these recent successes, and we look forward to achieving even more toward our ambitious transformational growth goals for the region, its businesses and citizens. The momentum is real in San Antonio!”

Hyperscale Data Bitcoin Treasury Reaches 1,087 Bitcoin Worth Approximately $70.3 Million

Published

By

LAS VEGAS, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), an artificial intelligence (“AI”) data center company anchored by Bitcoin (“Hyperscale Data” or the “Company”), today announced that, as of July 19, 2026, it held 1,087.4527 Bitcoin representing an aggregate value of approximately $70.3 million based on the Bitcoin closing price of $64,691 on July 19, 2026.

In aggregate, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Sentinum, Inc. (“Sentinum”) and Ault Capital Group, Inc. (“ACG”), held 1,087.4527 Bitcoin as of July 19, 2026. During the week ended July 19, 2026, ACG purchased approximately 51.5000 Bitcoin in the open market. Based on the Bitcoin closing price of $64,691 on July 19, 2026, these collective holdings had an approximate market value of $70.3 million.

“We now hold more than $70 million in Bitcoin,” stated Milton “Todd” Ault III, Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data. “The market remains completely disconnected from what we are building through our Michigan data center, our Bitcoin treasury, and our broader portfolio of operating businesses. Separate from the more than 1,087 Bitcoin we currently hold on our balance sheet, the market places zero value on the cash or the value of the other assets on our balance sheet. We will continue executing, growing our assets and highlighting the widening gap between the Company’s market capitalization and its underlying value.”

For more information on Hyperscale Data and its subsidiaries, Hyperscale Data recommends that stockholders, investors and any other interested parties read Hyperscale Data’s public filings and press releases available under the Investor Relations section at hyperscaledata.com or available at www.sec.gov.

About Hyperscale Data, Inc.

Through its wholly owned subsidiary Sentinum, Hyperscale Data owns and operates a data center at which it mines digital assets and offers colocation and hosting services for the emerging AI ecosystems and other industries. Hyperscale Data’s other wholly owned subsidiary, ACG, is a hybrid private equity firm and operating company that acquires, finances, builds and actively manages businesses across financial services, digital assets, industrial services, hospitality, defense technologies and other sectors.

Hyperscale Data currently expects the divestiture of ACG (the “Divestiture”) to occur in the second quarter of 2027. Upon the occurrence of the Divestiture, the Company would be an owner and operator of data centers to support high-performance computing services, as well as a holder of the digital assets. Until the Divestiture occurs, the Company will continue to provide, through ACG and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries and strategic investments, mission-critical products that support a diverse range of industries, including an AI software platform, equipment rental services, defense/aerospace, industrial, automotive and hotel operations. In addition, ACG is actively engaged in private credit and structured finance through Ault Lending, LLC, a licensed lending subsidiary. Hyperscale Data’s headquarters are located at 11411 Southern Highlands Parkway, Suite 190, Las Vegas, NV 89141.

On December 23, 2024, the Company issued one million (1,000,000) shares of a newly designated Series F Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) to all common stockholders and holders of the Series C Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis. The Divestiture will occur through the voluntary exchange of the Series F Preferred Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of ACG (collectively, the “ACG Shares”). The Company reminds its stockholders that only those holders of the Series F Preferred Stock who agree to surrender such shares, and do not properly withdraw such surrender, in the exchange offer through which the Divestiture will occur, will be entitled to receive the ACG Shares and consequently be shareholders of ACG upon the occurrence of the Divestiture.

ZELLERFELD GIVES FOOTWEAR ITS SPOTIFY MOMENT

Published

on

By

Music had Spotify. Video had YouTube. Zellerfeld has launched footwear’s biggest update, and the digitalization of footwear never felt so good.

AUSTIN, Texas, July 21, 2026
/PRNewswire/ — After years of bringing global brands and thousands of creators into its printed footwear revolution, Zellerfeld is rolling out its biggest platform update yet. The new Zellerfeld brings the marketplace, the product and the process into one beautifully connected experience, making printed footwear feel like it has finally caught up to the rest of the digital world. Browsing, discovering and experiencing printed shoes has never felt this good.

That experience is powered by personalized discovery, smarter search and live rankings for creators and products, rising with real demand instead of fading after a single launch moment. For the first time, footwear becomes digitally searchable, rankable and alive.

ZellerFIT is becoming the platform’s beating heart. The system lets users create a Fit Profile from a foot scan and personalisation choices. Once created, that Fit Profile can be carried across Zellerfeld products, creators and future shoes. Fit stops being a size guessed at checkout. It becomes personal, saved and portable, something that belongs to the user and moves with every shoe they print.

Powering the platform is Zellerfeld’s full-stack 3D-printed footwear infrastructure. Across Austin, Texas, and Hamburg, Germany, Zellerfeld now operates the largest and most advanced footwear creation facilities in the world, with thousands of printing units turning digital designs into physical shoes without moulds, stitching or assembly. At the push of a button, digital design, personal fit and physical production connect in one system.

“We always said we wanted to digitize footwear in the same way music and video were digitized, and the last years were spent building the fulfillment infrastructure to make that possible,” said Cornelius Schmitt, CEO and Co-Founder of Zellerfeld. “We never had time to give our users or creators the platform they deserved. Now we finally have. The new Zellerfeld looks so beautiful I can’t stop looking at it. I can’t wait to see what product category we digitize after footwear. Handbags? Glasses? I’m sure we’ll take one step at a time.”

The new platform also teases Zellerfeld subscription access. Major brands have tried to make footwear membership work, but most could only add perks on top of the same old retail model with limited designs. Zellerfeld makes footwear subscription work at scale: one platform, four pairs a year, a growing universe of designs, the same personal fit across every product and shoes printed on demand.

“Why would you go into a shoe store with 100 designs that all look the same and don’t really fit,” said Cornelius Schmitt, CEO and Co-Founder of Zellerfeld, “when you could come to Zellerfeld for millions of beautiful designs from creators around the world, all made to fit you?”

For the best part of a decade, Zellerfeld has been building the technology behind printed footwear, proving the category through breakthrough products and collaborators across sport, fashion, design and culture. Its work has shown that shoes can be digitally designed, personally fitted and produced on demand at the push of a button, without the constraints of conventional footwear manufacturing.

The products proved the future was possible. The platform makes it real. Zellerfeld is changing how footwear is created, sold and distributed, bringing the category into its next generation. Music had Spotify. Video had YouTube. Now footwear has Zellerfeld.

About Zellerfeld
Zellerfeld is a technology company on a mission to digitize physical products, starting with footwear. Its full-stack platform connects digital product creation, custom fit and distributed 3D-printed production, turning shoes from digital files into physical products without moulds, stitching, glue or traditional assembly. Zellerfeld has proven the model across sport, fashion, design and culture: products designed digitally, fitted personally and made on demand. The company operates the world’s most advanced 3D-printing production facilities across Austin, Texas, and Hamburg, Germany.
