NEW YORK, Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — USA News Group News Commentary – The race to build artificial intelligence has quietly shifted. The scarce resource is no longer just the chips; it is the physical ability to power and cool them, and the companies that can deliver dense, efficient, reliable data-center infrastructure have become the real gatekeepers of the AI buildout. Against that backdrop, Bitzero Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: AIBZ), a builder of sustainable high-performance-compute and AI data-center infrastructure, has announced a collaboration with Vertiv, one of the world’s leaders in critical power and cooling, deepening a supply chain and engineering bench that puts it in conversation with the infrastructure names investors already know, from Vertiv (NYSE: VRT) and Eaton (NYSE: ETN) to Digital Realty (NYSE: DLR) and Applied Digital (Nasdaq: APLD).
What Was Announced
Bitzero announced a collaboration with Vertiv, a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, that adds deep expertise in critical power, thermal management, and infrastructure deployment to support the design and delivery of AI, high-performance-compute (HPC), and hyperscale data centers. The relationship expands Bitzero’s access to proven technologies and engineering capabilities intended to help accelerate project execution while supporting the performance, efficiency, and scalability that modern AI workloads demand. Details are available through the company’s newsroom.
The collaboration is not a one-off. Bitzero framed it as the latest addition to a deliberately assembled ecosystem of technical, engineering, and supply-chain providers, following previously announced partnerships. Vertiv’s technologies are expected to serve as a key pillar within Bitzero’s broader execution platform, bringing global expertise in critical power and cooling, including the advanced liquid-cooling design and engineering that high-density AI and HPC environments increasingly require. As compute density rises, integrated, end-to-end infrastructure and modular solutions are becoming central to deploying resilient, scalable, efficient digital infrastructure, and to what the industry now calls reducing time to token, the speed at which a new cluster can go from construction to producing useful AI output.
Both companies framed the relationship around that execution imperative. “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.”
Vertiv, for its part, tied the collaboration to the broader challenge of scaling AI. “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 at Vertiv, adding that the company draws on decades of experience in critical digital infrastructure to help organizations deploy the power and cooling systems that underpin AI and HPC environments.
Why a Partner Like Vertiv Matters for a Company This Size
For a small-cap developer, credibility is often the gating factor, and who you build with is a signal in itself. Vertiv is a multi-billion-dollar, globally scaled provider of the exact power-and-cooling systems that AI data centers cannot run without, and its liquid-cooling and critical-power expertise is in acute demand as GPU racks push power densities past what legacy air-cooled facilities were designed to handle. For Bitzero, aligning with that caliber of partner does two things: it strengthens the practical engineering and supply-chain muscle needed to actually build, and it lends third-party validation to a company competing for hyperscale and AI workloads against far larger incumbents.
That is the strategic logic Bitzero has been executing. Rather than trying to own every capability in-house, the company is assembling a network of specialized, industry-leading providers across technical design, project execution, and supply-chain coordination, positioning itself as an integrator that can deliver high-performance compute environments for hyperscale, AI, and other advanced workloads. The Vertiv collaboration deepens the most critical layer of that network, the physical power and cooling on which everything else depends.
The Company Behind the Announcement
Bitzero Holdings is a provider of IT energy infrastructure and high-efficiency power for data centers, focused on data-center development, high-performance compute, and strategic hosting partnerships. The company owns four data-center locations across the North American and Nordic regions, with its Nordic assets powered by clean, low-carbon energy sources, an increasingly relevant feature as AI’s enormous electricity appetite collides with sustainability mandates and grid constraints. That combination, low-carbon power plus a build-out strategy aimed squarely at AI and HPC demand, is the core of the Bitzero thesis.
The company has been active on other fronts as well, recently closing a US$25 million private placement and announcing its intention to prepay a loan, steps that speak to the capital intensity of data-center development and the ongoing work of funding it. Building AI infrastructure is enormously capital-hungry, and for a company of Bitzero’s size, access to capital, power, sites, and now a deepened engineering bench are the ingredients that determine whether an ambitious development strategy becomes operating capacity.
The Infrastructure Names It Now Sits Alongside
The four companies below are referenced solely as market and sector context, span the power, cooling, and data-center-development layers of the AI buildout, and are far larger and more established than Bitzero. They are not peers, competitors, or financial comparables of Bitzero Holdings Inc., and their results are not indicative of Bitzero’s prospects. It is worth noting that the AI-infrastructure and data-center complex has been volatile, with several names selling off sharply over the past month even as underlying demand indicators stayed strong. All figures are approximate and subject to change.
Vertiv (NYSE: VRT)
Vertiv is the collaboration partner itself and the pure-play leader in the power-and-cooling infrastructure that AI data centers depend on, from critical power distribution to advanced liquid cooling. In its second quarter of 2026 the company reported revenue growth of roughly 26% and raised its full-year sales guidance toward US$14 billion on strong data-center demand, though the stock pulled back after quarterly sales came in below the most aggressive expectations. Vertiv is the clearest reference point for the specific capability Bitzero is adding through this collaboration, at global scale.
Eaton (NYSE: ETN)
Eaton is a diversified power-management company that has become a core beneficiary of the AI buildout through its electrical business, and it has expanded into liquid cooling via acquisition. In late July 2026 its shares jumped after it reported record quarterly revenue of about US$8.5 billion, up 21%, and raised full-year guidance, with management citing data centers as the single strongest driver and a large data-center order backlog. Eaton illustrates the power-distribution side of the same infrastructure demand Bitzero is building to serve, on a vastly larger, diversified scale.
Digital Realty (NYSE: DLR)
Digital Realty is one of the largest data-center REITs, operating hyperscale campuses and upgrading sites for higher power density, liquid cooling, and advanced power distribution to serve AI and cloud customers. In 2026 it reported record leasing, a substantial signed-but-not-yet-commenced backlog, and raised its full-year funds-from-operations guidance, drawing analyst upgrades even as investors weighed its leverage and valuation. Digital Realty represents the landlord-and-operator layer of the market, the scaled owner of exactly the kind of AI-ready capacity Bitzero is developing.
Applied Digital (Nasdaq: APLD)
Applied Digital is a data-center developer building and operating facilities for high-performance computing and AI hosting, a business model closely analogous to Bitzero’s own. It recently reported very strong revenue growth driven by AI-hosting demand, though its shares, like those of other build-and-host names, fell sharply over the past month in a broad re-pricing of the AI-infrastructure group before partially rebounding. Applied Digital is the closest listed analogue to Bitzero’s develop-and-host strategy, at a larger and more established stage, and a clear illustration of both the demand and the volatility in that niche.
What to Watch
For Bitzero, the near-term markers are about turning relationships into results. The most important is execution: whether the deepened Vertiv relationship and the broader partner ecosystem translate into faster, more reliable build-out at the company’s sites, and ultimately into contracted AI and HPC capacity. Watch for announcements of additional partnerships, for progress developing and energizing the four data-center locations, for customer or hosting agreements that convert capacity into revenue, and for how the company funds continued development following its recent capital raise.
The backdrop cuts both ways. On the positive side, demand for AI and HPC infrastructure remains enormous, power and cooling are genuine bottlenecks, and Bitzero’s low-carbon Nordic power is a real differentiator in a power-constrained world. On the cautionary side, this is a capital-intensive, competitive, and currently volatile sector; Bitzero is a small-cap company executing an ambitious plan against much larger players, the AI-infrastructure group has re-priced sharply, and success depends on capital, power, sites, customer demand, and execution all coming together. A collaboration with a partner of Vertiv’s stature does not remove those risks, but it strengthens the engineering and supply-chain foundation on which Bitzero’s plan depends, at a moment when the ability to actually build is the industry’s scarcest advantage.

ClearScore launches industry-first, free rent reporting to all major credit bureaus to help renters build their credit score
Published

New service enables millions of renters to build their credit score by ensuring their rental payments are recognised on their credit report, solving a long-standing inequality in the credit system
LONDON, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ClearScore, a global, data-driven, financial services platform that allows people to understand credit and access financial products, has today launched completely free rent reporting for millions of renters in the UK.
The new service enables users to report their rent payments to all three major credit bureaus – Experian, Equifax and TransUnion – directly through the ClearScore app or website.
Free to use and simple to set up, the service helps renters build a fuller financial track record through their regular rental payments. By bringing rental payments into credit reports, the service also gives lenders a more complete picture of an individual’s financial history when assessing creditworthiness.
ClearScore’s Rent Reporting addresses a long-standing gap in the credit system, where one of the biggest and most consistent payments renters make each month has not always been reflected in their credit history. While mortgage payments are recognised on credit reports, rental payments have historically not received the same recognition, putting renters at a disadvantage.
UK governments have backed pilots and considered parliamentary proposals to make rent reporting law since 2017, most notably the Creditworthiness Assessment Bill. ClearScore has now solved one of the UK’s long-running financial inclusion and fairness issues, with a completely free service that can be set up in minutes using ClearScore, the UK’s leading credit score and report app.
Rt Hon Justine Greening, Chair of The Purpose Coalition and Former Secretary of State for Education, said:
“Opportunity should be determined by talent and hard work, not by the barriers built into our systems. Back in 2018, I championed the Creditworthiness Assessment Bill because I believed it was fundamentally unfair that millions of renters could pay their rent reliably every month without that financial responsibility being properly recognised.
“Eight years on, it is fantastic to see ClearScore develop a practical, free solution to this longstanding issue. By using technology to ensure rental payments are reflected in people’s credit histories, ClearScore is helping to break down a barrier that has held too many people back from accessing affordable credit and taking the next step towards homeownership.
“This is what social mobility is about: ensuring that people’s efforts count and that innovation translates into real opportunities. ClearScore’s work demonstrates how businesses can help change systems for the better, giving more people the chance to get on in life.”
Justin Basini, Co-founder and CEO at the ClearScore Group, said:
“ClearScore is giving UK renters something that we feel is long overdue: free rent reporting, connected to all three credit bureaus, means that every rent payment finally counts.
“Completely free and simple to set up in the ClearScore app, this is a service to help millions of renters finally get greater recognition for the financial track record they are already building. It’s an issue that policymakers have been grappling with for almost a decade, and we are delighted to have developed this solution, bringing rent reporting to people across the UK helping them build positive credit history and demonstrate their creditworthiness.”
David Bernard, CEO at Equifax UK&I, said:
“This expansion of our strategic long-term partnership with ClearScore marks a major step forward for financial inclusion. Our latest Financial Health Report revealed that up to one in four UK adults have a limited credit file or no traditional credit footprint at all. By bringing more rental data into Equifax credit reports, we’re giving the UK’s nine million renters greater control over their credit profiles and helping to unlock their access to credit. At the same time, it equips lenders to make more informed decisions, promote responsible lending and helping people live their financial best.”
The launch comes as new research – commissioned by ClearScore and carried out by 3Gem* – reveals the average renter has paid almost £60,000 in rent over their lifetime, while one in five (19%) say they have paid more than £100,000. For many, those payments are already comparable to the cost of owning a home, with seven in ten (71%) estimating they are paying the same as or more in rent than they would on a mortgage for a suitable home.
Yet many renters do not feel that their financial track record is helping them move closer to homeownership. Three in five (61%) feel frustrated they can afford their rent but do not believe they could qualify for a mortgage, while two-thirds (66%) believe their rental payment history would help them get a mortgage if lenders could see it.
This comes at a time when renting is both expensive and, for many people, increasingly long-term, with Office for National Statistics figures** showing the average UK private rent reached £1,393 a month in July 2026, up 3.7% year-on-year.
The rent reporting service, leveraging open banking technology, builds on ClearScore’s wider financial services ecosystem, spanning consumer credit, mortgages and embedded finance. Across the Group, consumer-permissioned data and technology are used to help people better understand and manage their finances, as well as access credit and mortgages.
