Riot Platforms jumps 20% on $28B AI lease deal, while crypto rivals Cipher Digital and MARA fall.

Riot Platforms surged 20% after signing a $28 billion, 15-year lease for its Corsicana, Texas campus to a leading AI lab, marking the largest lease in its history. This deal highlights Riot's progress in transitioning from crypto mining to AI data center operations, setting it apart from rivals Cipher Digital and MARA, whose stocks dropped amid slower AI lease progress. Riot must now focus on building the Corsicana site and meeting milestones at its Rockdale campus amid regulatory and construction risks in Texas. The market rewards Riot's signed long-term tenants over competitors still in earlier transition stages.

Riot Platforms shares rose 13.77% to USD 15.95 on Pluang, reflecting strong investor interest following its major AI lease deal. Meanwhile, Cipher Mining shares fell 13.92% to USD 6.99 as of Nov 04, 2026 21:13 WIB, showing a contrasting market reaction to their AI transition progress.
