Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (&ldquo;Series E-1 Preferred Stock&rdquo;), at a price per share of $1,000.00 per
share (the &ldquo;Offering&rdquo;). We will pay cumulative dividends on the Series E-1 Preferred Stock at a fixed annual rate of 9% per
annum of the stated value of $1,000.00 per share (the &ldquo;Stated Value&rdquo;) of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock per year (computed
on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months). Each holder of shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock is entitled to
redeem any portion of the outstanding shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock held by such holder at any time, subject to certain early
redemption fees. Such redemptions may be settled in either cash or common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 (the &ldquo;Common Stock&rdquo;),
at our option, subject to certain limitations on the number of shares of Common Stock that may be used for such payments without
the approval of our stockholders, if applicable; provided that no such shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock may be redeemed for
Common Stock prior to the first anniversary of the date of its issuance. We may, at our option, redeem shares of Series
E-1 Preferred Stock on or after the second anniversary of the date on which such shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock have been issued
upon not less than 10 calendar days nor more than 90 calendar days written notice to the holders prior to the date fixed for redemption
thereof, subject to certain limitations on the number of shares of Common Stock that may be used for such payments without our stockholders&rsquo;
consent, if applicable. We intend to rely on the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the &ldquo;Securities Act&rdquo;), for the issuance of any shares of Common Stock for which the Series E-1 Preferred
Stock may be redeemed.</FONT></P>

We will pay a selling commission of up to 6% of the Stated Value of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock and a dealer manager fee equal to
2% of the Stated Value of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock. The selling commission and the dealer manager fee are payable by us to our

prices as described in the &ldquo;<I>Plan of Distribution</I>&rdquo; section of this prospectus and the net proceeds to us will not be
impacted by such reductions. We or our affiliates also may provide permissible forms of non-cash compensation to registered representatives
of our Dealer Manager and the participating broker-dealers. The value of such items will be considered underwriting compensation in connection

aggregate value of such items. The combined selling commission, dealer manager fee and cash and non-cash underwriting compensation as
described in &ldquo;<I>The Offering - Other Expenses</I>&rdquo; for this Offering will not exceed 8% of the aggregate gross proceeds
of this Offering, subject to FINRA&rsquo;s 8% underwriting compensation cap. See &ldquo;<I>Plan of Distribution</I>.&rdquo;</FONT></P>

to our previous mining operations, co-hosting revenues are less subject to volatility related to the underlying crypto-asset markets.
We have a contractual ceiling for our energy costs through our Amended and Restated Electric Service Agreement, entered into in September
2023 with a utility in the upper Midwest (the &ldquo;Electric Service Agreement&rdquo;). One of the main benefits of the Electric Service
Agreement is the low cost of power for mining. Even before the recently imposed crypto mining restrictions in China, power capacity available
for Bitcoin mining was scarce, especially at scalable sites with over 100 MW of potential capacity. This scarcity of mining power allows
us to realize attractive hosting rates in the current market. The Electric Service Agreement has also enabled us to launch our hosting
business with long-term customer contracts.</FONT></P>

learning developers. Our Cloud Services Business specializes in providing GPU computing solutions to empower customers in executing critical
workloads related to AI, machine learning (&ldquo;ML&rdquo;), rendering, and other HPC tasks. Our managed hosting cloud service allows
customers to sign service contracts, utilizing our Company-provided equipment for seamless and cost-effective operations.</FONT></P>

are rolling out multiple GPU clusters, each comprising 1,024 GPUs, which are available for lease by our customers. Additionally, we have
secured contracts with colocation service providers to ensure secure space and energy for our hosting services. Our strategy is to utilize
a blend of third-party colocation and our own HPC datacenters to deliver Cloud services to our customers.</FONT></P>

currently rely on a few major suppliers for our products in this business segment: NVIDIA Corp. (&ldquo;NVIDIA&rdquo;), Super Micro Computer
Inc. (&ldquo;Super Micro&rdquo;), Hewlett Packard Enterprise (&ldquo;HPE&rdquo;) and Dell Technologies Inc. (&ldquo;Dell&rdquo;). In
May 2023, we partnered with Super Micro, a renowned provider of Application-Optimized Total IT Solutions. Together, we aim to deliver
our Cloud service to our customers. Super Micro&rsquo;s high-performance server and storage solutions are designed
to address a wide range of computational-intensive workloads. Their next-generation GPU servers are incredibly power-efficient, which
is vital for datacenters as the power requirements for large-scale AI models continue to increase. Optimizing the Total Cost of Ownership
(&ldquo;TCO&rdquo;) and Total Cost to Environment (&ldquo;TCE&rdquo;) is critical for datacenter operators to ensure sustainable operations.</FONT></P>

June 2023, we announced a partnership with HPE, a global company specializing in edge-to-cloud technology. As part of this collaboration,
HPE will provide its powerful and energy-efficient supercomputers to support large-scale AI through our cloud service. HPE has been supportive
in core design considerations and engineering of Company-owned facilities which will support Applied Digital Cloud&rsquo;s infrastructure.
In addition, we have supply agreements with Dell for delivery of AI and GPU servers.</FONT></P>

May 31, 2024, we had received and deployed a total of 6,144 GPUs; 4,096 GPUs were actively recognizing revenue and 2,048
GPUs were pending customer acceptance to start revenue recognition. The Cloud Services Business currently serves two customers and accounted
for approximately 17% of our revenue in fiscal year 2024. As we ramp up operations in this business segment, we expect to acquire and
deploy additional GPUs, increase revenue from the Cloud Services Business and increase the percentage of our revenue produced by our
Cloud Services Business.</FONT></P>

Series E-1 Preferred Stock ranks on parity with the Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock and is subordinated in right
of payment to all of our existing and future debt. We are currently authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock at $0.001
par value per share (the &ldquo;Preferred Stock&rdquo;), in one or more series. As of the date of this prospectus, 354,864 shares of
Preferred Stock are outstanding and 3,985,136 shares of Preferred Stock remain available and authorized for issuance, of which
660,000 shares are designated as Series C Preferred Stock, 2,000,000 shares are designated as Series E Preferred Stock, 53,191 shares
are designated as Series F Preferred Stock, and 2,286,809 shares are undesignated. Other than as disclosed in this prospectus,
the terms of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock do not restrict our ability to authorize or issue shares of a class or series of preferred
stock with rights to distributions or upon liquidation that are on parity with or senior to the Series E-1 Preferred Stock or to incur
additional indebtedness. The issuance of additional preferred stock on parity with or senior to the Series E-1 Preferred Stock would
dilute the interests of the holders of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock, and any issuance of preferred stock senior to the Series E-1 Preferred
Stock or of additional indebtedness could affect our ability to pay dividends on, redeem, or pay the liquidation preference on the Series
E-1 Preferred Stock. Additionally, none of the provisions relating to the Series E-1 Preferred Stock relate to or limit our indebtedness
or afford the holders of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock protection in the event of a highly leveraged or other transaction, including
a merger or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all our assets or business, that might adversely affect the holders
of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock.</FONT></P>

to the Certificate of Designations, Powers, Preferences and Rights of Series E-1 Redeemable Preferred Stock (the &ldquo;Certificate of

E-1 Preferred Stock held by such holder. Such redemption may, at our option, be in cash or in Common Stock, provided that (i) if required
by Rule 5635(d) of The Nasdaq Stock Market, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable to holders of Series E-1 Preferred
Stock for dividends and redemption shall not exceed the Redemption Share Cap, unless approval by our stockholders is obtained to exceed

addition, applicable Nevada law provides that no distribution (including dividends on, or redemption or repurchases of, shares of capital
stock) may be made if, after giving effect to such distribution, the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they become due
in the usual course of business, or, except as specifically permitted by the company&rsquo;s articles of incorporation, the company&rsquo;s
total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed at the time of a dissolution to
satisfy the preferential rights of stockholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution. Accordingly,
we generally may not make a distribution on the Series E-1 Preferred Stock or redeem shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock if, after giving
effect to the distribution or redemption, we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business or
our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus, unless the terms of such class or series provide otherwise,

preferred stock then outstanding, if any, with preferences senior to those of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock. There can be no guarantee
that we will have sufficient funds available to meet these obligations.</FONT></P>

on August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new
U.S. federal 1% excise tax (the &ldquo;Excise Tax&rdquo;) on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations
and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The Excise Tax
is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its stockholders from which shares are repurchased. Depending on the number of
shares of our Series E-1 Preferred Stock we sell and the number of holders of Series E-1 Preferred Stock who redeem their stock, the
Excise Tax could also be applicable to us and adversely affect the cash we have available for redemption of the Series
E-1 Preferred Stock and our operations.</FONT></P>

impact whether participating broker-dealers and their registered representatives recommend this Offering to certain retail customers,
or the amount of shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock which are recommended to such customers. In particular, under SEC guidance concerning
Reg BI, a participating broker-dealer recommending an investment in our shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock should consider a number
of factors under the duty of care obligation of Reg BI, including but not limited to cost and complexity of the investment and reasonably
available alternatives in determining whether there is a reasonable basis for the recommendation. Participating broker-dealers may recommend
a more costly or complex product as long as they have a reasonable basis to believe it is in the best interest of a retail customer.
However, if participating broker-dealers choose alternatives to our shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock, many of which likely exist,
our ability to raise capital may be adversely affected. You should ask your broker-dealer or other financial professional about what
reasonable alternatives exist for you, and how our Offering compares to other types of investments (<I>e.g.</I>, publicly traded securities)
that may have lower costs, complexities, and/or risks, and that may be available for lower or no commissions. If Reg BI reduces our ability
to raise capital in this Offering, it may harm our ability to achieve our objectives.</FONT></P>

net proceeds to us will not be affected by reducing the commissions payable in connection with sales of Series E-1 Preferred Stock. To
the extent a participating broker-dealer reduces its selling commission below 6%, the public offering price per share of Series E-1 Preferred
Stock will be decreased by an amount equal to such reduction. Selling commissions will be established by each participating broker-dealer
or other financial intermediary, and it is anticipated that all or a portion of the 6% selling commission on Series E-1 Preferred Stock
will be waived for an investor that purchases Series E-1 Preferred Stock in a fee-based or &ldquo;wrap&rdquo; account maintained with

reflected in the below table, the selling commission received by participating broker-dealers will vary depending on the fixed offering
price at which the participating broker-dealer sells the Series E-1 Preferred Stock to investors. The Selected Dealer Agreement reflects
the selling commission paid to the participating broker-dealer from which the fixed offering price for that participating broker-dealer&rsquo;s
sale of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock can be determined. The table provides examples of various possible offering prices within the
established range of $940.00 to $1,000.00 per share of Series E-1 Preferred Stock only at fifty basis point intervals of
the corresponding selling commission and assuming no reduction in the dealer manager fee; however, the fixed offering price with respect
to any sale of shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock may be any amount between the established range of $940.00 to $1,000.00
because the selling commission with respect to any sale of shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock may be any amount between 0.0% and
6.0% and may not necessarily be discounted in fifty basis point increments and the net proceeds to us will always be
the same. The selling commissions received by the participating broker-dealers in connection with the Series E-1 Preferred Stock will
never exceed 6.0% of the aggregate gross offering proceeds. Further, any reductions in the dealer manager fee could further reduce the
fixed offering price below the $940.00 price described above.</FONT></P>

the full purchase price of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock by the settlement date, which depends on when you place the order during the
bi-weekly settlement cycle and can be anywhere from one to 15 days after the date of your order, or longer if we delay a closing date.
Orders will be effective upon our acceptance, and we reserve the right to reject any order in whole or in part in our sole discretion

to Regulation Best Interest under the Exchange Act, or Reg BI, participating broker-dealers must comply with, among other requirements,
certain standards of conduct for broker-dealers and their associated persons when making a recommendation of any securities transaction
or investment strategy involving securities to a retail customer. A retail customer is any natural person, or the legal representative
of such person, who receives a recommendation of any securities transaction or investment strategy involving securities from a broker-dealer
and uses the recommendation primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. Reg BI includes the general obligation that a participating
broker-dealer and its registered representatives act in the best interest of retail customers when recommending any securities or investment
strategy, without placing the financial or other interests of the participating broker-dealer and its registered representatives ahead
of the retail customer. This enhances the previous &ldquo;suitability&rdquo; standard of care applicable to recommendations.</FONT></P>

a part of the Care Obligation described above, your participating broker-dealer must evaluate reasonably available alternatives in your
best interest. There are likely less costly alternatives to use that are reasonably available to you, through your participating broker-dealer
or otherwise, and those alternatives may have a lower investment risk. Under Reg BI, participating broker-dealers must consider whether
such alternatives are in the best interests of their clients. You should ask your participating broker-dealer or other financial professional
about what reasonable alternatives exist for you, and how our offering compares to other types of investments that may have lower costs,
complexities, and/or risks and may be available for lower or no commission. This standard is different from any quantitative suitability
standards required for an investment in the shares of our Series E-1 Preferred Stock and enhances the broker-dealer standard of conduct
beyond existing suitability obligations when dealing with a retail customer as described above.</FONT></P>

addition to Reg BI, certain states, including Massachusetts, have adopted or may adopt state-level standards that seek to further enhance
the broker-dealer standard of conduct to a fiduciary standard for all broker-dealer recommendations made to retail customers in their
states. In comparison to the standards of Reg BI, the Massachusetts fiduciary standard, for example, requires broker-dealers to adhere
to the duties of utmost care and loyalty to customers. The Massachusetts standard requires a broker-dealer to make recommendations without
regard to the financial or any other interest of any party other than the retail customer, and that broker-dealers must make all reasonably
practicable efforts to avoid conflicts of interest, eliminate conflicts that cannot reasonably be avoided, and mitigate conflicts that
cannot reasonably be avoided or eliminated.</FONT></P>

impact of Reg BI and state fiduciary standards on participating broker-dealers cannot be determined at this time, as little administrative

to evolving regulatory guidance.</FONT></P>
