Nixxy and Tachyon 9 Unveil $1 Billion Carbon-Conscious AI Data Campus Designed Around Hydrogen Power, Low-Water Cooling and U.S. Energy Security
NEW YORK, June 29, 2026--Nixxy, Inc. (NASDAQ: NIXX) today announced that its proposed strategic combination with Tachyon 9 Corporation is advancing what the Company believes is a differentiated model for next-generation AI infrastructure: the $1 billion Nakota Data Campus, designed to deliver up to one gigawatt of AI computing capacity through a large-scale North Dakota development built around firm on-site power, a carbon-neutrality pathway and low-water cooling.

Nakota Data Campus Positions North Dakota as a New Model for Sustainable, Next-Generation AI Infrastructure NEW YORK, June 29, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nixxy, Inc. (NASDAQ: NIXX) today announced that its proposed strategic combination with Tachyon 9 Corporation is advancing what the Company believes is a differentiated model for next-generation AI infrastructure: the $1 billion Nakota Data Campus, designed to deliver up to one gigawatt of AI computing capacity through a large-scale North Dakota development built around firm on-site power, a carbon-neutrality pathway and low-water cooling. As demand for artificial intelligence, high-performance computing and hyperscale data centers accelerates, new projects are increasingly challenged by three critical concerns: pressure on local power grids, carbon intensity and water consumption. Nixxy and Tachyon 9 believe Nakota has been designed from the ground up to address those challenges rather than work around them. Rather than simply building another AI compute campus, Nakota is being developed as a power-first, climate-aligned AI infrastructure platform integrating behind-the-meter generation, hydrogen-capable Baker Hughes turbine technology, pre-combustion decarbonization optionality and advanced closed-loop liquid cooling designed to dramatically reduce reliance on continuous freshwater consumption. The project's energy strategy is expected to incorporate hydrogen-rich fuel blends generated from natural gas resources that would otherwise be flared, converting an underutilized energy source into reliable power for AI computing while creating a practical pathway toward lower-carbon operations over time. Today's move should qualify the new campus under the U.S. Government's Fourth State Initiative (FSI) under Section 45V, the Clean Hydrogen Qualification as a strategic enabler of U.S. data center and Power Generation Domination. Located on approximately 620 acres in North Dakota's energy corridor, the campus is expected to benefit from abundant natural gas resources, scalable land, naturally cooler temperatures, existing energy infrastructure and an experienced industrial workforce. The first 120–150 megawatts of computing capacity are targeted to become operational in the second quarter of 2027, subject to financing, regulatory approvals and completion of the proposed transaction, with long-term plans to scale to...
