Own US-based AI infrastructure

Buy an NVIDIA-powered GPU server you own. We host it in our Eugene, Oregon data center, run it 24/7, and route AI workloads to it: put it to work from day one, and what you make is paid out in cash.

How rent-to-own works

Buy the machine. Configure an NVIDIA-powered GPU server you own, with 30% down at 8% interest.
We host it. Racked in our Oregon facility: 24/7 power, cooling, and on-site engineering.
Put it to work from day one. We route AI traffic to it: 30% of what it earns is paid to you in cash, and our 70% share retires the balance. Once paid off, the split flips and you keep 70%.

You stay in control: run your own workloads, toggle the machine on or off, and set the hours the network can use it. Monetizing is an option, not an obligation.

Earnings depend on marketplace demand: projections, not guarantees.

Own it, don't rent it

Cloud rent is a metered bill that never ends. A machine you own has no monthly bill, stays yours, and earns whenever you make it available.

There's a tax difference too: cloud rent is 100% expense, forever. A machine you own is a depreciable business asset. How that applies to you depends on your situation; consult your tax advisor.

Your models run on hardware you own in a US facility you can name: weights, keys, and data never leave machines you control. Hand-built GPU clusters, US-assembled by Andromeda, with N+1 redundant power. Hosted GPUs for Stanford Blockchain, Penn Blockchain, NYU, and Dartmouth Blockchain.

Do GPUs hold their value?

GPUs keep earning for far longer than they keep their hourly rate. A card from 2020 still has contracted revenue in 2029, and NVIDIA says those cards run at full utilisation today — but what an hour on one costs fell roughly 80% from the 2023 scarcity peak before recovering.

What an H100 hour has cost

Period	Quoted rate	Basis
2023	$8.00/hr	Scarcity-era on-demand
2024–25	$1.50/hr	On-demand, midpoint of a $1–2 range
Oct 2025	$1.70/hr	1-year committed contract
Mar 2026	$2.35/hr	1-year committed contract
Aug 2026	$2.19/hr	Entry on-demand

Depreciation schedules

Company	Useful life	Note
Microsoft	6 years	Raised from 4 years in Q4 FY2022
Alphabet	6 years	Normalised to 6 years by 2023
CoreWeave	6 years	Now has A100 revenue contracted past it
Amazon	5 years	Cut from 6 for a subset of servers, citing AI's pace

The case that they last

A GPU that launched in 2020 has revenue contracted into 2029 — a nine-year earning life. — “CoreWeave signed a contract for Nvidia A100 GPUs that runs into 2029, nine years after the Ampere SKU debuted.” (Mike Intrator, CoreWeave CEO, on the Q2 earnings call)
NVIDIA says six-year-old silicon is not sitting idle — it is fully utilised. — “Thanks to CUDA, the A100 GPUs we shipped six years ago are still running at full utilization today, powered by a vastly improved software stack.” (Colette Kress, NVIDIA CFO)
Hardware coming off contract re-rents close to its original price rather than at a discount. — “A batch of H100s coming off an expired contract was immediately rebooked at 95% of the original price.” (Mike Intrator, CoreWeave CEO, to CNBC)
The software stack, not the silicon, sets the retirement date: CUDA compatibility keeps older cards in the fleet. — “CUDA's compatibility and our massive installed base extend the life in our systems well beyond their original estimated useful life.” (Colette Kress, NVIDIA CFO)

The case against

A prominent short-seller argues the six-year schedules are accounting, not engineering — and that the industry is overstating earnings as a result. — “Understating depreciation by extending useful life of assets artificially boosts earnings.” (Michael Burry, who put the effect at $176bn across hyperscalers between 2026 and 2028)
One hyperscaler moved the other way: Amazon SHORTENED the life of some servers from six years to five, citing the pace of AI hardware. — “An increased pace of technology development, particularly in the area of artificial intelligence and machine learning.” (Amazon, in a February filing)
Rental rates for a current-generation card can fall hard and fast. H100 hourly pricing collapsed from its 2023 scarcity peak as supply caught up. — “Rental costs dropped from $8 per hour in 2023 to $1–$2 in 2024 and 2025 due to oversupply.”
NVIDIA ships a new architecture roughly every year, which is faster than any of these depreciation schedules.
