Neocloud Debt Financing / GPU-backed Credit
GPU-collateralized debt fueling the buildout
Neoclouds like CoreWeave financed GPU fleets with billions in debt collateralized by the GPUs themselves and backed by take-or-pay contracts (e.g., Microsoft, OpenAI). This financial-engineering layer, plus private-credit vehicles from Blue Owl/Apollo, is a systemic risk node: circular vendor financing and depreciation risk on rapidly obsolescing hardware.
