The stock saw a 637% surge in user message count as of Tuesday morning. A Stocktwits user said they added more shares after the news.

Another user lauded the move and called Hive, ‘Canada’s Nvidia’.

Under the plan, BUZZ HPC will provide Bell’s customers with access to Nvidia Corp.’s (NVDA) Ampere, Hopper, and Blackwell GPU arrays connected through Nvidia Quantum‑2 InfiniBand.

BUZZ HPC’s expansive Nvidia-powered computing systems, specifically designed to handle artificial intelligence, machine learning, and scientific workloads, will be connected to Bell AI Fabric’s high-speed fiber network, data centers, and ecosystem of partners.

“Sovereign is the new standard for cloud computing, and this partnership with Bell marks the beginning of a new era for AI innovation in Canada, with NVIDIA-accelerated infrastructure deployed domestically and a global footprint serving international customers, we are uniquely positioned to help Canada lead in AI while protecting its digital independence,” said BUZZ HPC’s Executive Chairman, Frank Holmes.

The infrastructure will first deploy five megawatts of GPU capacity in Manitoba later in 2025, with future rollouts planned across Bell AI Fabric sites nationwide.

HIVE Digital stock has lost over 15% in 2025 and over 21% in the last 12 months.
