Rumble’s Big Splash: AI, Stock Deals & Bitcoin – Oh My! 🚀

by

Hold onto your hats, folks! Rumble, the video-sharing platform you probably binge on at 2 a.m., is flirting with some serious money moves. They’re eyeing up Northern Data, an AI cloud company so fancy it probably dreams in code. 😉

Apparently, Rumble is planning to swoop in with an all-stock offer, because who needs cash when you have *shares*? Word on the internet is they might throw in a cool $1.17 billion to snag this German AI titan. Nice. Shareholders of Northern Data could get a treasure chest of Rumble stock-like, 2.319 shares for every one they currently own. Yikes, that’s a lot of shares-about 33.3% of Rumble, if you’re into that sort of thing-but no cash, no problem! 💸

What’s the Deal? A Time to Drink Champagne or Cry in Your Beer?

So, Northern Data’s shares are valued at roughly $18.3 each, which is a lovely discount of about 32% from their last Frankfurt closing price. Nice deal, if you like bargains. This snoozy stock exchange could lead Rumble to take control of the GPU-heavy cloud biz, Taiga, which has enough Nvidia chips to power a small planet-around 20,480 H100s and 2,000 H200s. 🌌

Oh, and don’t forget about Ardent, the data center behemoth. Rumble might end up calling the shots in both. It’s like the ultimate game of “Who will own which server?” Meanwhile, Northern Data’s board is I’d say ‘considering’ this offer – or pretending to, at least. With Tether cheering from the sidelines (probably holding a smartphone with a fistful of USDT), the drama continues. And yes, Tether would be a major customer for Rumble after the deal. Too many tech mergers, too little patience! 💻

Bitcoin Baby! Rumble’s Next Move?

Meanwhile, Rumble’s also secretly mooning over Bitcoin. Yeah, that digital gold keeps everyone talking. They put $20 million into BTC-a move as bold as putting hot sauce on a cupcake. 🍰🔥 This was approved back in November 2024 and supposed to diversify their treasure vault. (Because who just wants a boring pile of cash?)

In January 2025, they made their big Bitcoin debut-publicly, quietly, who knows? Rumor has it they might’ve dropped up to $20 million on BTC in one go. Watch out, Elon. Rumble’s playing chess, not checkers.
