Todd Ault had $200 million in the bank and couldn’t make payroll. During COVID, with bank branches physically closed, his company was debanked for the seventh time — including his wife’s Girl Scout Cookie account. The founder of Hyperscale Data (NYSE: GPUS) and the 34th largest public Bitcoin holder in the world delivers a raw keynote on how systemic debanking drove him to DeFi, politics, and building his own Layer 1 blockchain.

WHAT THIS PANEL COVERS

• How a publicly traded company with $200 million in the bank was debanked during COVID with no appeals process, no explanation, and 30 days to move 57 accounts
• Why 1.7 billion people worldwide are excluded from the banking system, and how DeFi wallets offer the only reliable path to financial self-custody
• How Todd’s journey from debanking to political engagement led him to work directly with US policymakers on crypto regulation and the Genius Act
• Why Switzerland is emerging as the global hub for tokenization, with progressive laws that didn’t exist a few years ago enabling new payment tokens and real-world asset structures
• Why anyone looking to tokenize should start with assets they already own rather than trying to raise new capital in a market that lacks liquidity for real-world assets

SPEAKER

• Milton “Todd” Ault III — Founder & Executive Chairman, Hyperscale Data (NYSE: GPUS); Founder, Ault Capital Group
