What happened

Riot Platforms signed a 15-year lease for 910 megawatts of computing capacity at its Corsicana, Texas, site. The deal is valued at about $28 billion over its initial term. Riot says it expects $5.5 billion in project capital costs; the tenant will run the equipment and pay operating expenses.

Global impact / market context

The deal gives Riot a long-term AI data center business alongside Bitcoin mining. Riot’s third-quarter data center and engineering revenue increased, while mining revenue fell as Bitcoin prices weakened. Riot also sold much of its Bitcoin holdings to fund construction, so investors may watch how the project develops.

What to watch

  1. Check whether Riot identifies the AI tenant in further company disclosures; the supplied reports differ on whether it is named. This would clarify who will use the site.
  2. Check for updates on the project’s $5.5 billion capital costs and construction progress; these show how the planned site is being built.
  3. Check Riot’s reported data center and engineering revenue alongside Bitcoin mining revenue; this shows how each business is changing.
