• AlphaTON will use expanded compute to support partners, including Telegram, Animoca Brands, and Midnight Blockchain.

AlphaTON Capital CEO Brittany Kaiser Signs $43M Vertical Data GPU Deal for Decentralized AI

AlphaTON Capital’s deal, announced Thursday, deepens an existing partnership between the two companies. AlphaTON (Nasdaq: ATON), which focuses on privacy-preserving AI systems and decentralized compute, will use the agreement to scale GPU capacity through Vertical Data’s capital-efficient deployment model.

At the center of the agreement is a high-performance GPU cluster built on the Nvidia B300 architecture. Financing will be handled through Vertical Data’s GPUfinancing.com platform, which provides asset-backed, non-recourse funding for infrastructure projects.

Brittany Kaiser, CEO of AlphaTON Capital, said Vertical Data has supported the company through multiple phases of its infrastructure buildout. “This agreement is a vital step in scaling our compute capacity,” Kaiser said.

Kaiser added:

“It ensures that our platform objectives — specifically the convergence of AI, digital assets, and confidential compute — are supported by the most advanced hardware and efficient financing models available today.”

Deven Soni, CEO of Vertical Data, said the deal reflects his company’s approach to delivering end-to-end solutions. “We are pleased to continue working with AlphaTON as they expand their AI infrastructure initiatives,” Soni remarked in the release.

The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, pending customary closing conditions.

Beyond hardware, the agreement covers managed infrastructure services. Vertical Data will handle operational management and energy efficiency at the data center level, allowing AlphaTON to keep its focus on building privacy-preserving and decentralized AI applications.

That infrastructure directly supports AlphaTON’s work with a roster of blockchain and digital asset partners. The company counts Telegram, Gamee, Animoca Brands, and Midnight Blockchain among the organizations relying on its compute foundation for secure AI applications.

AlphaTON maintains strategic treasury positions in digital assets aligned with that thesis and supports decentralized AI ecosystems designed to give users privacy protections through architecture rather than policy alone.

The $43 million deal is one of the more concrete infrastructure commitments from a Nasdaq-listed AI company operating in the confidential compute space in 2026. Whether the hardware scale-up translates into measurable platform growth for AlphaTON’s partner network will become clearer once the deal closes later this year.
