Bitcoin miner and Nvidia AI cloud partner Northern Data could rise 50%, says Berenberg
Frankfurt-based technology company Northern Data, known for bitcoin mining, recently transformed its business model into cloud solutions and data center infrastructure. This change caught the attention of investment bank Berenberg, which began coverage of the company’s shares with a Buy rating and target price of 39 euros ($41.84) per share, indicating a potential increase of 53.2% in relative to the current share price on April 26. Listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Northern Data has three main divisions: Peak Mining for bitcoin mining, Taiga Cloud for cloud computing and Ardent Data Centers for data center infrastructure. Berenberg says the market has largely ignored the growth prospects of Taiga Cloud’s offering. Northern Data shares are also traded over-the-counter in Italy and the United States, but trading frequency and volumes are expected to be very low. Line NB2-DE 1Y The business transformation is not the first for the company, which has been listed since 2015. Previously known as Biosilu Healthcare, the company was a pharmaceutical broker for Asian markets until early 2018. It then turned for crypto mining operations and was renamed Northern Bitcoin, becoming one of the first listed companies to enter the crypto scene. In its current form, Northern Data continues to evolve with the acquisition of a data center in Pittsburgh earlier this year. The company said it will expand the facilities fourfold by the second half of next year. Northern Data is also expected to benefit from the advancements its subsidiary Ardent Data Centers has made in liquid cooling technology in its crypto mining operations over the years. “We believe that the significant investments that Northern Data has made in the latest liquid-cooled mining technology and the company’s expansion into its existing locations in North Dakota and new locations in Texas should allow it to achieve high bitcoin production and profitability of mining”, analyze Berenberg. Gerhard Orgonas and Jenna Xu said in a note to clients on April 25. “We believe Northern Data’s expertise in energy-efficient, next-generation, liquid-cooled data centers makes it a competitive colocation services provider, especially considering the increasing efficiency requirements for generative AI applications.” The investment bank estimates that Peak Mining could achieve revenues of more than 170 million euros by next year, with adjusted margins of more than 40%. But it’s Northern Data’s cloud solutions that analysts are keeping an eye on. The company’s Taiga Cloud division is certified as an “Elite” Nvidia partner, making it one of the largest providers of Nvidia-based cloud services in Europe. The investment bank forecasts annual revenues of around €400 million and adjusted profits of around €290 million from Taiga Cloud from 2026. Northern Data’s cloud computing platform is expected to have 20,000 Nvidia AI chips, in value of 730 million euros, until the third quarter of 2024, says the note. Northern Data founder and CEO Aroosh Thillainathan also demonstrated his confidence in the company by announcing plans to acquire shares worth up to €30 million this year. On March 21, the company reported that Thillainathan’s stake in Northern Data Group increased to 3.8 million shares, representing approximately 7.15% of the company’s current share capital.

The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has digitized 42 million car titles using blockchain, it was reported by Reuters, through technology company Oxhead Alpha on the Avalanche blockchain and designed to detect fraud and facilitate the securities transfer process.
“This is an incredible development for crypto,” Cuban, best known as an investor on TV’s Shark Tank and owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA team, posted on X, joking that U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler could sue the state as part of his hostility toward cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
“The reason this is huge for crypto is because people who hold the tokens will have an app with an Avalanche wallet,” Cuban said. “Tens of millions of Californians having and using a crypto wallet in the next five years, or however long it takes, normalizes the use of wallets and crypto.”
John Wu, president of Avalanche developer Ava Labs, told Reuters that California’s DMV is “creating a wallet that you can download on your phone.”
