• Binding Term Sheet Signed

  A binding term sheet has been signed to acquire mineral, surface, and pore-space assets in northern Pennsylvania for a base purchase price of $55 million, with a $3 million deposit due after definitive agreements.

• Planned 200 MW Data Center

  The project targets an initial 200 MW of natural gas-powered data center capacity, with potential expansion to 1 GW, using on-site Marcellus gas for behind-the-meter generation.

• Low-Cost Power Advantage

  Estimated all-in power cost of $0.0585/kWh is significantly below prevailing PJM commercial rates of $0.08–$0.10/kWh, potentially turning energy into a strategic asset.

• Non-Dilutive Financing Structure

  Development and acquisition will be funded through non-dilutive capital via special purpose vehicles and joint ventures, aiming to avoid shareholder dilution.

In a strategic pivot from GPU-as-a-service, Alpha Compute is moving to own and operate a massive energy infrastructure project. A binding term sheet secures the $55 million acquisition of gas rights and land for a planned 200 MW data center, with a clear path to 1 GW. The all-in power cost of $0.0585/kWh sits well below market, potentially transforming energy from a cost into a strategic asset. Still, this is a greenfield project with no operating capacity yet, and closing hinges on financing, permits, and definitive agreements. The company's recent going-concern warning and internal control weaknesses add risk, but the non-dilutive financing structure aims to protect shareholders.
