RUM Group (Northern Data, Ardent Data Centers)

RUM Group Inc., the Nasdaq-listed company Rumble Inc. became after buying Northern Data AG, owns about 98 percent of Northern Data since buying Tether's remaining stake on September 30, 2026 (SEC filing). Northern Data, a German AI cloud and computing company, wholly owns Ardent Data Centers, which bought a former Education Management Corp. data center at 615 McMichael Road in Robinson Township in January 2024, opened it in June 2025 and markets it as starting at 2.4 MW of IT capacity and scaling to 12 MW. The ownership chain doesn't mean RUM Group or Northern Data paid for the Pittsburgh site.
