Z Squared Inc. CEO David Halabu Discusses AI Data Center Strategy on Two Investor Podcasts

Both Interviews Are Live Now and Available Through the Company's Website and Major Podcast Platforms

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Z Squared Inc. (Nasdaq: ZSQR) ("Z Squared" or the "Company"), a computing infrastructure company expanding into AI infrastructure, today announced that David Halabu, Chief Executive Officer, was recently featured on two investor podcasts: The Wall Street Resource, hosted by Jeff Kone, and The Nano Cap Podcast, hosted by Will Tjernlund. Both interviews are live now.

Speaking with Jeff Kone on The Wall Street Resource, Mr. Halabu outlined how Z Squared acquires existing powered sites - former crypto mining and manufacturing facilities - and retrofits them for AI and high-performance computing use. He described the Company's role as a triple-net landlord, positioned the Union County Campus in Arkansas as its flagship asset, and reiterated the two measures he has asked shareholders to hold the Company to over the next 12 to 18 months: megawatts under management and signed leases.

Speaking with Will Tjernlund on The Nano Cap Podcast, Mr. Halabu traced his background in trading and real estate and the Company's path to the public markets, and detailed the criteria Z Squared applies to a prospective site - price, power and time to power, redundant fiber, water, and county and municipal support. He also addressed the expanding role of behind-the-meter generation as utility interconnection timelines lengthen, and why he expects land and power to remain scarce as AI compute demand grows.

"These conversations were a chance to be direct about what we are building and how it generates revenue," said David Halabu, Chief Executive Officer of Z Squared. "We find power, deliver a shell an AI tenant can use, and grow the site behind it. Over the next 12 to 18 months, measure us on megawatts and leases."

Both interviews touched on the Company's previously announced acquisition of Paradox Data, LLC and the Union County Campus it brought with it. Set out below are the questions investors have most frequently raised about that transaction.

What did Z Squared acquire?

Z Squared acquired 100% of the membership interests of Paradox Data, LLC, whose flagship asset is the Union County Campus in El Dorado, Arkansas. The transaction closed on an all-stock basis - no cash at closing and no debt financing.

How much power does the Union County Campus have today, and how does it scale?

The campus has an existing arrangement with Entergy Arkansas for energy service of up to 8.0 MW, plus an executed contract for adjacent land. On The Wall Street Resource, Mr. Halabu described roughly eight megawatts of total capacity and six megawatts of critical capacity available today. The development pathway targets up to 150 MW over time through a combination of utility power and on-site generation, added in phases as utility timelines and customer demand allow.

How does Z Squared expect to generate revenue from the campus?

Z Squared intends to operate as a triple-net landlord, not a compute provider: it expects to lease the land, the building and access to power to tenants - primarily "neocloud" and enterprise AI users - with power treated as a pass-through, and does not intend to buy or lease GPUs. Mr. Halabu said he is hopeful the first six to eight megawatts can be monetized in the early-to-mid 2027 timeframe, subject to the factors described under "Forward-Looking Statements" below.

About Z Squared Inc.

Z Squared Inc. is a computing infrastructure company operating advanced computing equipment and expanding into AI infrastructure.
