Microsoft / Nscale: Ward County / Cedarvale campus compute deal, October 2025

Announced Oct 15, 2025 · Undisclosed · Undisclosed

This is a site-level deployment under Nscale's approximately 200,000-GPU Microsoft agreement across four countries. The GPUs are not added to a global GPU total. Nscale gave a Q3 2026 start for phased services; no dated evidence that Microsoft compute service began was verified by October 8, 2026. Ionic Digital's separate 234 MW lease is facility power, not Microsoft's compute allocation.

First-capacity target: Phased delivery of AI infrastructure services targeted from Q3 2026
