About Z Squared
Built where energy meets compute.
Z Squared is a computing-infrastructure company. A repeatable acquisition engine converts energized power into AI-ready capacity.
Public since April 2026. Operating long before that.
Z Squared began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market on April 27, 2026, through a business combination with Coeptis Therapeutics Holdings. In its first quarter as a public company, Z Squared announced a proposed acquisition of a majority membership interest in Paradox Data under a letter of intent, raised approximately $15.3 million in non-debt capital, and joined the Russell 2000 and 3000 indexes. The Paradox transaction has not closed and remains subject to definitive documentation and customary closing conditions.
Three operating principles.
Lead with power.
Every decision starts at the substation. If the electrons are not secured, nothing above them matters. We underwrite sites on energized capacity first.
Build with speed.
Months, not years, is the standard we underwrite to, engineer conversions, and staff operations. Speed is the product.
Scale with discipline.
Shareholder-aligned structures, no cash and no debt on acquisitions, and forward-looking language treated with the seriousness it deserves.
Board of Directors.
Independent oversight across capital markets, healthcare, and emerging technology.
