Delayed Draw Term Loans
In July 2023, the Company entered into a Delayed Draw Term Loan 1.0 Facility (as amended, the “DDTL 1.0 Facility”), which provided for a delayed draw term loan facility of up to $2.3 billion. In May 2024, the Company entered into a Delayed Draw Term Loan 2.0 Facility (as amended, the “DDTL 2.0 Facility”), which provides for another delayed draw term loan facility of up to $7.6 billion. The principal amount of the DDTL 1.0 Facility is required to be repaid in quarterly installments, with the final balloon payment due on March 28, 2028.
Under the DDTL 2.0 Facility, additional loans may be drawn until June 2025, with an option to extend the commitment period by three months subject to lender consent. In June, 2025, the Company extended the commitment period to September, 2025. The principal amount of the DDTL 2.0 Facility is required to be repaid in quarterly installments, beginning in January 2026, with the final balloon payment due five years after the applicable loan was funded. The total loans available are constrained by the purchase price of assets for which the loans are being used to finance with such percentage based upon the depreciable cost of graphics processing unit ("GPU") servers.
The Company’s DDTL 1.0 Facility and DDTL 2.0 Facility require the Company to maintain certain restricted cash balances. The Company is required to maintain restricted cash equal to 4.00% of the drawn balance on the DDTL 1.0 Facility, but in no event greater than $56 million. As of each of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $56 million was restricted cash in relation to the DDTL 1.0 Facility. Prior to the IPO, the Company was required to maintain restricted cash equal to 2.00% of the drawn balance on the DDTL 2.0 Facility, which was $77 million as of December 31, 2024. In connection with the IPO, the restricted cash requirement was reduced to 1.00% of the drawn balance on the DDTL 2.0 Facility, which was $50 million as of June 30, 2025.
Additionally, at the closing of the IPO, the Company became subject to a requirement to fund $500 million into designated escrow accounts in connection with the DDTL 2.0 Facility, which was classified as restricted cash and cash equivalents, current, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2025. In April 2025, the conditions requiring restriction of this amount were lifted and the $500 million previously classified as restricted cash in connection with the DDTL 2.0 Facility was no longer restricted.
Revolving Credit Facility
In June 2024, and as amended in October and December 2024, the Company entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended, the "Revolving Credit Facility") with a capacity of $650 million. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on June 21, 2027. The Revolving Credit Facility included a $175 million letter of credit sub-facility. The letter of credit sub-facility entered into by the Company reduces the available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility. In May 2025, the Company upsized the Revolving Credit Facility with a capacity of $1.5 billion. With the upsize of the Revolving Credit Facility, the letter of credit sub-facility increased to $350 million. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the amounts associated with outstanding letters of credit were $11 million and $0 million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had not drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had drawn $450 million and had $1.0 billion of remaining capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility (after giving effect to the outstanding letters of credit). Obligations outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by pledges of certain assets as collateral. The Company is required to pay a fee of 0.25% per annum on the average undrawn commitment.
2030 Senior Notes
In May 2025, the Company issued $2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2030 (the "2030 Senior Notes") in a private placement offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 2030 Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of May 27, 2025 (the "Indenture"). The proceeds from the issuance of the 2030 Senior Notes were retained for general corporate purposes. In conjunction with the issuance of the 2030 Senior Notes, the Company capitalized $37 million in debt issuance costs.
The 2030 Senior Notes are unsecured obligations. The 2030 Senior Notes will mature on June 1, 2030 and bear interest at a rate of 9.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2025.
The Company may redeem all or a portion of the 2030 Senior Notes at any time prior to June 1, 2027 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a "make-whole" premium as provided in the Indenture. The Company may redeem all or a portion of the 2030 Senior Notes at any time on or after June 1, 2027 at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. At any time prior to June 1, 2027, up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Senior Notes may be redeemed with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings, at the redemption price specified in the Indenture.
The 2030 Senior Notes includes customary terms and covenants, including certain events of default, after which the 2030 Senior Notes may be due and payable immediately. In addition, if the Company experiences certain change of control events, as described in the Indenture, the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase some or all of the 2030 Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 2030 Senior Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest.
2024 Term Loan Facility
In December 2024, the Company entered into a credit agreement providing for a $1.0 billion term loan facility (the "2024 Term Loan Facility") consisting of (i) a $229 million secured facility and (ii) a $771 million unsecured facility. In connection with the IPO, the maturity date of the 2024 Term Loan Facility was accelerated, and it was repaid on April 11, 2025.
Magnetar Loan
In August 2024, the Company entered into an AI Computing Service Reserved Capacity and Prepayment Agreement with MagAI Ventures (the “MagAI Capacity Agreement”). Under this arrangement, the Company will provide portfolio companies of MagAI Ventures with a pre-determined amount of cloud computing services at a pre-negotiated hourly rate. The specific amount of cloud computing services, inclusive of the capacity and term, to be used by each portfolio company, if any, will be negotiated individually with each portfolio company, and will be subject to final approval by MagAI Ventures. The Company received a refundable deposit of $230 million in connection with the MagAI Capacity Agreement. Any consumption of cloud services by MagAI Ventures, including by their portfolio companies, under this arrangement is deducted from this deposit amount, with the unused portion refunded back to MagAI Ventures at the end of the contractual term. Throughout the term of the arrangement, if MagAI Ventures portfolio companies do not contract for the full amount of the pre-determined cloud computing services, the Company may agree with MagAI Ventures to instead use this available capacity for other customers, and share profits with MagAI Ventures for any revenue realized above the revenue that would have been generated by charging these customers the MagAI Ventures pre-negotiated rate.
The initial MagAI Capacity Agreement provided for certain termination options for MagAI Ventures, including if a specified amount of capacity is not available by a target commencement date. The MagAI Capacity Agreement runs for an initial period of four years, with an option for MagAI Ventures to extend for two additional years. As of December 31, 2024, the refundable deposit was included within other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, as no services had yet been provided under this arrangement.
In February 2025, the MagAI Capacity Agreement was amended to provide certain termination for convenience rights to both MagAI Ventures and the Company. As a result of the amendment, the Company now considers the refundable deposit received from Magnetar to be in-substance debt (the "Magnetar Loan") under ASC 470, Sale of Future Revenue, and has reclassified the balance to debt, current on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. No services had been provided under the MagAI Capacity Agreement as of June 30, 2025.
As of June 30, 2025, the $230 million refundable deposit remains available for cloud computing services for MagAI Ventures' portfolio companies. Upon such termination by either party, the unused portion of the $230 million deposit will be refunded along with a specified multiplier that increases over the term of the arrangement that equates to a 12% annual rate of return. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $257 million classified as debt, current, including $27 million of redemption premiums, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The accretion of the redemption premiums was recognized in interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
2021 Convertible Senior Secured Notes
In October 2021, the Company executed a note issuance agreement and a note purchase agreement with a related party for the issuance of an aggregate principal amount of up to $50 million of convertible senior secured notes (the “2021 Convertible Senior Secured Notes”). The Company determined that the conversion features, the accelerated redemption features, the variability in interest payments, and the Company’s redemption option were required to be bifurcated and accounted for as an embedded derivative. The investors elected to convert all of the outstanding 2021 Convertible Senior Secured Notes on September 17, 2024, pursuant to the original terms of the conversion feature.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded losses related to the fair value adjustment of these derivative liabilities of $262 million and $344 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, total interest costs for the 2021 Convertible Senior Secured Notes were $3 million and $6 million, respectively, comprised of coupon interest of $1 million and $3 million, respectively, and amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs of $2 million and $3 million, respectively.
OEM Financing Arrangements
The Company entered into various agreements with original equipment manufacturers (the "OEM Financing Arrangements"), whereby the Company obtained financing for certain equipment with an aggregate notional balance of $2.2 billion and $1.3 billion as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company granted a security interest for the financed equipment related to these financing agreements. These agreements generally have terms between two to three years.
DCSP Financing Arrangements
In June 2023, the Company entered into a service agreement (the "DCSP Service Agreement") with a data center service provider (the "DCSP"). Under the DCSP Service Agreement, the DCSP will design, purchase, build, and manage a data center providing access to up to 78 MW of electrical power to be delivered in phases. Separately, during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company purchased $116 million of critical infrastructure assets to support the data center site (the “Existing Critical Infrastructure Assets”).
In October 2024, the Company, as a lender, entered into a Senior Secured Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “DCSP Note Receivable,” and collectively, with the DCSP Service Agreement, the “DCSP Financing Arrangements”) with the DCSP to facilitate the purchase of critical infrastructure assets. The DCSP Note Receivable provides for a total commitment of up to $305 million in delayed draw term loan funding for a term of seven years with a stated interest rate of 13.00% per annum.
The DCSP Note Receivable is secured by the new and existing critical infrastructure assets that support current and future phases of the build out at the data center and is prepayable at any time by the DCSP with no penalty.
The DCSP has borrowed under the DCSP Note Receivable to settle amounts previously advanced to the DCSP by the Company, finance purchases of additional critical infrastructure assets, and purchase the Existing Critical Infrastructure Assets. Under the terms of the DCSP Service Agreement, the Company continues to control the Existing Critical Infrastructure Assets and the Company recorded a financing obligation related to the consideration received for the Existing Critical Infrastructure Assets. The financing obligation is payable over a term of 14 years and has an imputed interest rate of 15%. The Existing Critical Infrastructure Assets are included in property and equipment, net, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are depreciated over their estimated useful life.
Additionally, the Company entered into a lease for data center infrastructure assets with the DCSP. The arrangement commenced in April 2025 and is accounted for as a finance lease, with an initial term of 14 years and an imputed interest rate of 13%. The Company recorded finance lease right-of-use assets acquired through lease liability of $123 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 associated with this arrangement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, amortization expense recognized related to this finance lease right-of-use asset was not material.
As of June 30, 2025, the future payments under the financing obligation and finance lease due to the DCSP were as follows (in thousands):

The DCSP Financing Arrangements allow for the net settlement of amounts due between the parties and meet the criteria for right of setoff in accordance with ASC 210, Balance Sheet. As of June 30, 2025, the gross amount of the DCSP Note Receivable was $288 million, which is presented net of the financing obligation and finance lease of $237 million. As of December 31, 2024, the gross amount of the DCSP Note Receivable was $224 million, which is presented net of the financing obligation of $116 million. The Company did not recognize any interest income during the year ended December 31, 2024, as the Company did not expect to be entitled to the accrued interest. The Company began recognizing interest income associated with this arrangement in March 2025. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $6 million and $9 million of interest income in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, respectively. The total interest expense related to the financing obligation and finance lease associated with this arrangement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $8 million and $12 million, respectively.
