Analyst note
$7.0B is lease contract value (revenue, not capex); the $10B figure is LED's stated Phase I project investment. 'Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., is providing a financial backstop'; Fluidstack holds 'a Right of First Offer (ROFO) for up to an additional 1,000 MW of IT capacity.' Entergy providing '330 MW of utility capacity for the campus.' Initial data hall 'scheduled for completion and commissioning in Q2 2027.' Financed partly via $3.25B bond sale. Hut 8's GPU vertical operates as Highrise AI.
Physical work is under way and the evidence includes a primary source.
