What changes the reading

  • The exact operator entity from this certification guarantees the financing for the large Rockdale project. That filing provides a stronger project bridge than the shared campus name alone.[1][2]
  • Riot does not name the frontier laboratory in its securities filings. Outside attribution is not substituted for a filed customer identity.[3]
  • The contract value includes rent across the lease term. It is not construction spending and the larger amount depends on optional extensions.[3]
  • The developed campus figure covers mining and multiple data center leases. It is not assigned to this one certification and should not be added to the contracted customer load.[3][4]
  • The delivery dates remain company targets. Financing and a signed lease do not establish that the new customer space is complete or energized.[2][3]

Still not public

  • The frontier artificial intelligence laboratory has not been named.
  • The physical boundary of this numbered certification is not public.
  • Construction progress and delivered load are not public.
  • Cooling design and expected water use are not public.
  • The final long term financing structure is not public.
