Alpha Compute Cuts Cash Needed for 200MW Data Center to $8M via $47M Seller Financing
ALP sits 19% above its 52-week low of $3.72 on elevated volume (2.1× avg).
Summary
Alpha Compute amended its August 11 term sheet for the Pennsylvania data center campus, securing $47 million in seller financing at 6% interest. Cash due at closing drops from $55 million to $8 million, with the seller note secured only by the acquired property and mineral interests—no lien on data center, power, or compute assets, and no personal recourse. The note is interest-only for five years with a balloon payment, prepayable without penalty, and includes production-linked principal payments of 50% of gas proceeds once production begins. This materially reduces near-term capital needs and aligns the seller with project success. The company also joined the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry, signaling local engagement. The project remains greenfield with no operating capacity, and closing is subject to due diligence, definitive agreements, and regulatory approvals.
