    Why Is Nvidia Betting Big on a Junk-Bond Funded Data Center?

    Nvidia Corporation will lease a data center in Storey County, Nevada, financed by a $3.8 billion junk-bond sale. The bond deal, backed by Tract Capital, increased by $150 million due to strong demand, targeting a yield around 6%. This move reflects a trend of using high-yield bonds for AI infrastructure projects. Nvidia's lease is initially for 16 years, with options for two additional 10-year extensions. Tract Capital's Fleet strategy focuses on building data centers for hyperscalers, with Fleet I being the borrower for this bond. The proceeds will reduce the equity contribution for the project. Nvidia continues to expand its AI capabilities by designing complex chips and developing open-source AI models.
