Jensen Huangโs recent estimate puts the total cost of a next-generation 1 GW AI factory at up to $100 billion.
Industry cost breakdowns show this splits approximately as:
60% Compute / GPU architecture โ Chips, servers, memory, networking (~$60 billion)
40% Infrastructure โ Buildings, power systems, substations, and cooling (~$40 billion)
The infrastructure portion represents the capital base recovered through lease revenue.
Realistic long-term lease rates for high-density AI infrastructure are in the range of $160โ200+ per kW per month base rent (triple-net, with electricity as a pass-through).
For a fully leased 1 GW facility (1,000,000 kW):
At $180/kW/month (midpoint):
Annual base lease revenue = $2.16 billion
After minimal owner-level operating expenses (triple-net):
Stabilized NOI โ $1.95 โ 2.25 billion per year (midpoint ~$2.1 billion)
Applying a 6โ7% cap rate (standard for stabilized, long-term leased data center infrastructure) to the NOI produces:
Enterprise Value: $29โ36 billion
Per MW: $29โ36 million (midpoint ~$32โ33 million per MW)
Apply this to AI infra peer group (colocation model, not full stack cloud), using their total energized capacity (gross) not including their development pipeline:
$KEEL - $9.9โ12.3 billion
$CIFR - $23.4โ29.1 billion
$HUT - $30.2โ37.4 billion
$WULF - $36.5โ45.3 billion
$RIOT - $36.6โ45.4 billion
$MARA - $37.7โ46.8 billion
$BTDR - $41.2โ51.1 billion
$GLXY - $47.3โ58.7 billion
$CORZ - $49.5โ61.4 billion
The capacities shown above reflect the current total energized capacity (gross) of various Bitcoin mining companies that are in different stages of pivoting to AI colocation. Some of these companies are significantly further along in the transition, with large portions of their capacity already fully leased to AI tenants. Others are still early in the pivot and have yet to secure major AI leases.
The $29โ36 million per MW range represents a long-term stabilized valuation assuming a successful full pivot to AI colocation, with the sites fully built and fully leased on long-term contracts. These figures are forward-looking projections and do not include any development pipeline or future growth capacity โ they are based solely on each companyโs current energized MW.
The significant gap between current enterprise values and these projections for many of the companies largely reflects differences in lease execution progress. Companies with already contracted AI capacity trade at much higher multiples today, while those still in the early stages of the pivot are valued at a discount to their long-term potential.

๐จFINANCE: JPMORGAN COMMITS $500M TO CORE SCIENTIFIC, BRINGING TOTAL CREDIT FACILITY TO $1 BILLION
Two of Wall Street's biggest banks just backed a Bitcoin miner's pivot to AI infrastructure.
Core Scientific (NASDAQ: CORZ) closed an additional $500M commitment from JPMorgan Chase today under the accordion feature of its 364-day credit facility. Combined with Morgan Stanley's $500M tranche from March 5, total funded commitments now sit at $1 billion.
Terms: SOFR + 250 basis points (~6-7.8% effective rate). Proceeds going to data center buildout, equipment, real estate, and securing additional power capacity across facilities in Texas, Georgia, and North Dakota. Over 1,300 MW of contracted power.
The speed tells the story. Morgan Stanley on March 5. @jpmorgan 18 days later. Two Tier 1 banks providing non-dilutive debt to a company that came out of bankruptcy in 2024 and is now repositioning from $BTC mining to high-density AI/HPC colocation.
@Core_Scientific plans to liquidate most Bitcoin reserves in 2026 to fund the infrastructure transition. The mining-to-AI pipeline is real and Wall Street is financing it.
Core Scientific is proud to be named the Official Data Center Partner of @Cadillac_F1.
As the Cadillac Formula 1ยฎ Team makes its debut this season, advanced compute is playing a growing role in how teams design, simulate, and compete.
This evolution requires a new class of digital infrastructure.
Through this partnership, Core Scientific will support the teamโs data center strategy, providing strategic consulting, architectural guidance, and optimization expertise to ensure the teamโs infrastructure is secure, scalable, and capable of supporting the high-density computing demands of modern Formula 1 development.

@PG_inRWA@ShreyaBerry2@polytrade@integra_layer@Polytrade_fin The real estate agency selling the property is Keller Williams Realty, through agent Alicia Feil
After further investigation, it appears the property is under contract, but a deal might still be possible

@ShreyaBerry2@polytrade@integra_layer In my opinion, we can create mass adoption of #RWAs by starting with tokenizing iconic assets like this one.
It's not just a simple piece of real estate
People will seek out scarcity, an entire generation will identify with the series.
Then comes investment and returns.
