Riot Platforms' shares rose 17% after announcing a 20-year lease for a 191 MW AI data center at its Texas campus, expected to generate $9.1 billion in revenue through 2048. The lease with Anthropic marks a major shift from Bitcoin mining to large-scale data center development, boosting Riot's contracted capacity to 241 MW and long-term revenue to nearly $9.8 billion. Despite a quarterly net loss, analysts raised price targets, viewing the company as a key AI infrastructure player. Investors will watch for progress on the lease, financing, and construction milestones.
