Riot Platforms: Hedging Rising Bitcoin And Rising Power PricesRiot Platforms shifts from a Bitcoin treasury model to a data center landlord, leveraging 1.7 GW of approved Texas power capacity amid rising AI energy demand. RIOT has secured $9.8 billion in contracted lease revenue through 2048, with major tenants including AMD and an unnamed AI lab, but the bulk of earnings materialize post-2027. The valuation now hinges on contracted NOI and unleased capacity optionality, with Corsicana's 1 GW site representing significant upside if a full-site lease is signed.
