Applied Digital (NASDAQ: APLD) recently finalized a 15-year, 210-megawatt lease at its Delta Forge 2 campus, signaling a definitive transition from a high-beta crypto miner to a tier-one digital infrastructure landlord.
While retail investors temporarily dumped shares over macroeconomic inflation jitters and near-term debt mechanics, institutional capital recognizes a business holding approximately $36 billion in total contracted base-term lease revenue, with roughly 70% backed by U.S.-based investment-grade hyperscalers.
