How durable is the business?
Contract quality and switching costs were significantly strengthened by a new 'Google Backstop' agreement, where Google guarantees the rent for the Fluidstack lease, providing investment-grade credit support for the project. (3 expanding)
“These hosting arrangements are typically structured as long-term data center leases, generally ranging from 10 to 25 years, and in certain cases benefit from investment-grade credit support, enhancing the durability and finance ability of contracted revenues.”
The company vertically integrated its workforce by acquiring Beowulf E&D, bringing 94 employees with power generation expertise in-house to support long-term HPC growth. (3 expanding)
“The Company’s platform is differentiated by long-term control of utility-scale infrastructure, deep in-house power and grid expertise, and a scalable development model supported by long-term, credit-enhanced customer contracts.”
The HPC segment is in a pre-revenue development phase as of Q2 2025, with revenue recognition expected in the second half of 2025. The company secured a $90 million prepayment from Core42, which is currently held as a liability on the balance sheet. (1 new across 1 engine)
“HPC lease revenue for the three month ended March 31, 2026 was $21.0 million. In July 2025, the Company commenced its HPC leasing operations... Percentage of total revenue: 62%”
Revenue from mining grew 33.9% year-over-year for the quarter due to higher Bitcoin prices, despite a significant drop in the number of Bitcoins mined following the April 2024 halving event. (2 expanding, 1 contracting across 1 engine)
“Digital asset revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $13.0 million and $34.4 million, respectively, a decrease of $21.4 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, two miner buildings were repurposed or placed out of service to support the HPC development”
The company exited its 25% interest in the Nautilus joint venture to consolidate operations and focus capital on the Lake Mariner facility and HPC expansion. (1 exited, 1 new, 1 contracting, 1 expanding)
“We are a vertically integrated owner, developer, and operator of digital infrastructure assets in the United States, purpose-built to support HPC workloads, including AI, machine learning, and advanced cloud applications... The Company has undergone a deliberate strategic transition toward HPC hosting as its primary business.”

Where does growth come from?
Capacity expansion is accelerating as the company moves from proof-of-concept to large-scale construction. The Lake Mariner site is currently operating 195 MW for mining but is actively building 50 MW for mining and 20 MW for HPC (CB-1) due in Q1 2025, with a 50 MW (CB-2) following in Q2 2025. (4 accelerating, 1 steady across 5 signals, 1 leading indicator)
“As of March 31, 2026, the Lake Mariner Data Campus operated 145 MW of legacy bitcoin mining capacity and had 60 MW of critical IT HPC capacity. The campus is undergoing phased expansion to support additional HPC contracted deployments with gross capacity of approximately 500 MW in the near term, and with potential expansion to approximately 750 MW.”
The company has accelerated its expansion at the Nautilus facility by exercising an option to increase its energy requirement by 50 MW, bringing its total attributable capacity at that site to 100 MW. (1 accelerating, 1 new trend across 2 signals, 1 leading indicator)
“Upon completion of permitting and site development, the Cayuga Site has the potential for up to 400 MW of gross capacity, supporting approximately 320 MW of critical IT load. The Cayuga Site provides an additional anchor location.”
HPC leasing has rapidly become the dominant revenue source, growing from 0% in Q1 2025 to 62% of total revenue in Q1 2026, signaling a successful business model pivot. (1 accelerating, 4 new trend across 5 signals)
“During the three months ended March 31, 2026, HPC leasing revenue represented a majority of total revenue for the first time... HPC lease revenue for the three month ended March 31, 2026 was $21.0 million.”
The company has secured a massive 25-year lease for its Abernathy site, which is 100% pre-leased to a single high-credit customer, providing a stable, long-term revenue floor. (1 steady, 2 new trend across 3 signals)
“The Abernathy HPC Campus is designed for 168 MW of critical IT load... The campus is 100% pre-leased to Fluidstack under a 25-year data center sublease... Lease obligations are supported by investment-grade credit enhancement provided by Google.”
The company has secured the necessary land and power access for long-term growth through a new 35-year ground lease at Lake Mariner, which expanded the acreage for HPC operations. This provides a steady long-term pipeline for the 500-750 MW target. (1 steady, 2 new trend across 3 signals, 1 leading indicator)
“On February 2, 2026, the Company entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale for a former industrial site in Hawesville, Kentucky... which includes more than 250 buildable acres with immediate access to power infrastructure... The total consideration for the transaction was approximately $301.9 million.”

What could break the thesis?
The company's expansion depends on getting approvals to use massive amounts of electricity from the power grid, which is not guaranteed. [EXECUTION]
“with potential expansion to approximately 750 MW, subject to additional approvals from the NYISO.”
Capital expenditures remain high as the company builds out the Lake Mariner facility for HPC. Investing cash outflow increased to $132.1 million for the first half of 2025 compared to $93.6 million in 2024. (3 intensifying, 1 high-severity)
“Purchase of and deposits on plant and equipment (522,954)”
Revenue actually increased year-over-year ($47.6M vs $35.6M) due to higher Bitcoin prices, but the 'halving' event in April 2024 has made mining twice as difficult, leading to a 30% drop in the number of bitcoins mined compared to the same quarter last year. (3 intensifying, 1 stable, 1 high-severity)
“Digital asset revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $13.0 million and $34.4 million, respectively, a decrease of $21.4 million.”
The risk has eased significantly as the company fully repaid its high-interest Term Loans in July 2024. The current debt consists of $500 million in 2.75% convertible notes due 2030, which carry a much lower interest rate than the previous 11.5% loans. (2 easing, 2 intensifying, 1 high-severity)
“Total principal maturities $ 5,725,000”
Concentration remains high but is being de-risked through significant customer prepayments. The company received $90 million in 'Prepaid Rent' from its primary HPC customer, Core42, which provides a cash buffer for the build-out. (3 stable, 1 intensifying, 1 high-severity)
“For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s HPC lease revenue was generated from one customer.”
