Terms

Up to $573.0M committed; drawn balance undisclosed (availability period commenced 2026-08-10). Proceeds fund long-lead equipment, related project equipment and certain other expenses for the 191 critical IT MW data center project at the Rockdale Facility. Riot characterises it as an interim facility "to fund initial development costs while the investment-grade credit backstop is finalized" (Q2 2026 release, 2026-08-11); the backstop itself is not named, sized or documented in any filing. Underlying offtake is a 20-year, 191 IT MW build-to-suit Tier 3 Data Center Lease and Services Agreement with an unnamed "leading frontier AI lab" (~$9.1B over the initial term, up to ~$16.1B with extensions; 96 IT MW December 2027, full 191 IT MW June 2028). Bloomberg identified the tenant as Anthropic — press only, not in the filing.
