Online video platform Rumble has signed a major business combination agreement to acquire Northern Data, a European leader in AI and high-performance computing infrastructure.
The deal will see Rumble launch a public exchange offer for Northern Data shareholders, giving Rumble access to around 22,000 Nvidia Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), including one of Europe’s largest GPU clusters, as well as a global network of data centres.
The company says the acquisition will massively expand Rumble Cloud’s scale, accelerate its international growth, and strengthen its AI plans for creators, video services, and advertising. Northern Data’s shareholders, including major backers representing 72% of shares, have already committed to participate, and the company will be delisted after the offer is completed.
Rumble describes the move as a transformational step in its “Freedom-First” strategy, which aims to build technology infrastructure based on privacy, independence, and resilience rather than relying on dominant tech giants.
The partnership also builds on Tether’s earlier $775 million investment in Rumble, with Tether set to become a major customer once the deal closes. If approved, the transaction will give Northern Data shareholders about 30% ownership in the combined company, with the deal expected to close in mid-2026 pending regulatory approvals. Rumble will discuss the acquisition in a webcast on November 10 and will publish further details through an SEC filing and at rumble-offer.com.
Even Rumble is compromised.
