Z Squared CEO Discusses AI Data Center Strategy in Recent Podcasts
Z Squared Inc. (Nasdaq: ZSQR) CEO David Halabu discussed the company's strategy for expanding into AI infrastructure on two investor podcasts, The Wall Street Resource and The Nano Cap Podcast. He outlined how Z Squared acquires existing powered sites—primarily former crypto mining or manufacturing facilities—and retrofits them to serve AI and high-performance computing needs. As a triple-net landlord model, the company focuses on megawatts under management and signed leases as key performance indicators over the next 12-18 months. Halabu also detailed site selection criteria including power availability, fiber redundancy, water access, and local government support. He emphasized the importance of behind-the-meter generation due to extended utility interconnection timelines and predicted continued scarcity in land and power amid rising AI compute demand. The CEO reiterated that Z Squared does not intend to operate as a GPU provider but rather lease infrastructure directly to tenants.
