Rumble Proposes €1 Billion All-Stock Bid for Northern Data

Completion depends on divesting the Peak Mining unit before closing, with final approvals still pending.

Overview

  • Rumble informed Northern Data on August 10 of its intent to pursue an all-stock exchange offering 2.319 Class A Rumble shares for each Northern Data share
  • The offer implies a €1 billion ($1.17 billion) valuation, pricing Northern Data at about €15.69 per share, roughly a 32% discount to its last close
  • The deal would fold Northern Data’s Ardent data centers and Taiga GPU-as-a-service platform into Rumble, adding over 20,000 Nvidia H100 and H200 GPUs to its cloud infrastructure
  • Tether, which holds a majority stake in Northern Data and backed Rumble’s cloud push with a $775 million investment, would become Rumble’s largest Class A shareholder and commit to multi-year GPU purchases
  • The proposal remains non-binding and is subject to confirmatory due diligence, sale of the Peak Mining unit, board sign-offs and regulatory clearances
