Applied Digital Corporation secured a 210 MW, $5.2B, 15-year lease at Delta Forge 2, expanding its contracted revenue backlog to $36B across five campuses. APLD's franchise model enables scalable, repeatable growth, with 1.4 GW of critical IT load now pre-sold under long-term, take-or-pay leases to investment-grade hyperscalers. A $1.59B senior secured notes offering funds construction and repays bridge debt, aligning capital with already contracted demand and de-risking capex.
