HIVE’s BUZZ HPC names Hubert Marleau independent director
HIVE Digital Technologies, through wholly owned BUZZ High Performance Computing Inc., appointed Canadian capital-markets veteran Hubert Marleau as an Independent Director of BUZZ HPC (not the HIVE parent board). The release is a designated news release under HIVE’s amended prospectus supplement dated June 16, 2026 to its short-form base shelf dated October 31, 2025. Management quotes frame the seat as independent oversight while BUZZ scales sovereign AI infrastructure in Canada with Bell. BUZZ will also appear at ALL IN 2026 in Montreal on September 16–17, with COO Craig Tavares speaking in three sessions. No megawatts, annual recurring revenue (ARR, contracted revenue expected to recur each year), offtake, or dollar commitment were disclosed.
Why it matters
Governance and designated-release status matter for shelf financing optics as BUZZ builds Canadian AI capacity, but this is soft news without a capacity or revenue update.

Risks
