Must Read: Applied Digital announces new U.S. based high investment-grade hyperscaler tenant at Delta Forge 1, a 430 MW AI factory campus (link)

What Happened: On April 23, 2026, Applied Digital announced a new 15-year lease with a U.S.-based high investment-grade hyperscaler for 300 MW at its Delta Forge 1 AI Factory campus. Valued at roughly $7.5 billion, the agreement lifts the company鈥檚 total contracted lease revenue above $23 billion, with more than 50% now backed by investment-grade customers and a third hyperscaler tenant overall. The deal strengthens revenue visibility, diversifies the customer base, and supports the planned mid-2027 launch of Delta Forge 1. Separately, Applied Digital expects to close up to $600 million in senior secured credit facilities to fund ongoing data center development and working capital needs.

$APLD takes the lead among public Bitcoin mining companies that pivot to HPC/AI, in terms of contracted MW and projected revenue.

Cindy's Thoughts: The headline numbers look strong, but few will notice that the implied pricing on this undisclosed U.S. investment-grade hyperscaler contract comes in at $1.67 M per MW per year. That's roughly 6-11% below Applied Digital's two existing CoreWeave contracts ($1.78 M and $1.87 M per MW per year on the same 15-year terms). I've been tracking this pricing compression on our hyperscaler-deals dashboard: the broader market is now clustering between $1.4 M and $1.9 M per MW per year, with investment-grade counterparties consistently anchoring the lower end.
