Blockmate Ventures, previously focused on blockchain and crypto, purchased an NVIDIA B200 cluster; partner Scannit will host the hardware.

Data Center Dynamics reports that Blockmate Ventures, previously a blockchain and cryptocurrency company, entered the neocloud market through the purchase of an NVIDIA B200 cluster. The reported hardware purchase is the material fact supporting the business pivot, rather than merely an intention to explore AI infrastructure.

Blockmate partnered with Scannit for the venture, with Scannit responsible for hosting the hardware. The hosting data center’s location is undisclosed in the supplied source.

The purchase concerns a cluster, but the excerpt provides no GPU count, server or rack configuration, acquisition price, or financing structure. It also does not establish that the cluster is commissioned, generating GPU-as-a-Service revenue, or covered by signed customer contracts.
