An announcement from Z Squared ( (ZSQR) ) is now available.

On April 28, 2026, Z Squared Inc. signed a binding letter of intent to acquire Skycore Digital LLC, a North Carolina digital infrastructure operator with three Duke Energy-powered sites, in an all-equity deal valued at up to $22 million in Series B convertible preferred stock. Skycore adds about 24 MW of energized capacity and a path to 42 MW, positioning Z Squared to accelerate its push into AI and high-performance compute infrastructure at a time when grid access and power availability are major constraints for data center growth.

The April 27–29, 2026 actions also reshaped Z Squared’s capital structure and governance, with multiple unregistered stock issuances to advisers and service providers, the closing of its merger and Nasdaq listing under “ZSQR,” a full turnover of prior directors and officers, and the appointment of a new Co-CEO-led executive team and refreshed, largely independent board. New equity incentive plans, sizable option and RSU awards for senior executives and directors, and the creation of a Board of Advisors underscore an aggressive expansion and alignment push that could materially influence ownership dilution, leadership control, and long-term strategic execution.
