$NUAI I’ve spent weeks inside every public interview, filing, and breadcrumb. Here’s what the market is missing. Thread 🧵

@thoomsfn There might be but it seems like the main purpose is for paying off the sharonai obligation. maybe a few million extra for general corporate purposes.

@Dragobbbb Are we sure the equity offering is just to raise the 30 million though. Is there any added dilution too for working capital?

$NUAI $20MM is coming from Macquarie TLA and rest is coming from equity offering. Offering will be priced at a discount which is why share price is being manipulated. Let’s say offering is $3.75 so 8MM shares added to share count to pay for the SharonAI obligation

@ThePrudentWhale I don’t believe the Term Loan can be used for equity. It is specifically stated for project level use such as equipment etc.

Sharon AI note wasn't due until June 30. Paying it off in cash kills that overhang early. $NUAI secures up to $290M in debt financing. $270M is ring-fenced to physically build the data center (adding co-invest to the Steam JV and boosting $NUAI equity ownership). Bullish.

$NUAI owes Sharon AI $50M. How they are paying it: -$20M from the new Macquarie loan (the absolute max allowed) -$30M from the new public stock offering The loan legally forced the $30M offering. The debt and equity raise are directly related. The dilution HAD to happen.

this is around 13% dilution of current share count of ~61mm

SharonAI equity overhang is completely derisked and balance sheet will be clean once this is wiped out through TLA and equity offering. Equity offering will likely close soon and be oversubscribed

$APLD announced macquarie equity facility conditional on hyperscaler lease back in Jan 2025 and signed with coreweave in June 2025. $NUAI has until October 2026 to sign lease in terms. I think it will come alot sooner than that

$NUAI this equity offering drop off is a blessing to buy more shares after this amazing Macquarie Term Loan news. I upped my position sizing by 20%. The exact playbook that happened in $APLD is happening out here. Same exact lenders and bookrunners of Macquarie and Northland.

@Thebullwhisper I feel like calling the BDE crew in the AI/HPC space is a bit of a stretch. These are former bitcoin guys trying to pivot from what I see. Does BDE have any ai hpc customers?

Nothing is a given, lot's of steps on the way. Replacing a failing board with a hungry board of directors already in the AI/HPC business was the most important one imo. I find it very hard to believe Endeavor, big digital energy LLC took over just to sell it at 250k/MW. Imo more likely they JV with Mawson and get to fair value. Here's a possible route to $700M mkt cap, should they fully win the vertua case (not likely though, it'll be a settlement at best). My base case is $300M anyways, just accounting for Mawsons 153MWs on the grid, rest is optional: x.com/i/status/20372…

$MIGI could be the most violent play of 2026. Getting $NUAI vibes from October when I sat comfy at $0.50 in the rocket taking of. Vooooolume 1M premarket, 👀 5M outstanding, 2.47M public float.

@Thebullwhisper How do you think they can get to that valuation?

@Dragobbbb I am modelling a fundamental rerate to fair value at $500M mkt cap. If they sell $7.50, bit boring, but so be it then.

@Thebullwhisper most likely path is being acquired by another miner in its current form unless proven otherwise. Im modeling a sale of the combined BDE+MIGI entity at 250K/MW for a share price of $7.5 at 5.5mm shares outstanding

@Thebullwhisper Great news overall and definitely derisked going forward with new board and management. Curious as to Big Digitals infra and what they own. Where are their sites? Do they own land and power or leased? None of the installed leadership is in the AI or datacenter space

@ConvexityStocks Are you sure nuai will be receiving development fees or management fees though? In press release there is no language of fees and stream will be main developer in this new jv

#stocks #investing #datacenter #ai #HPC #microcap #growthinvesting #asymmetry

1/ A ~6% move in $NUAI after the Stream announcement tells me the market still does not understand what was disclosed. PAY ATTENTION

@KashRamki thoughts on if they will still be retaining developer fees or is that all going to stream?

This is huge!! $NUAI now we’re cookin! New Era Energy & Digital Partners with Stream Data Centers for Flagship TCDC Campus - businesswire.com/news/home/2026…

@samelifeenjoyer agreed. hopefully they get a good promote interest for bringing together all parties on top of prime real estate that they have

Wouldn’t be worse case depending on the equity stake size. An equity position in a $10B project with 80% debt financing and backed by Apollo could still be extremely valuable. They could lose development and management fees but we won’t know till $NUAI release their percentage equity.

I am sensing a lot of confusion around the $NUAI Stream Data Centers announcement today. Here is the plain language and questions I asked: First who is Stream Data Centers? Stream is not a random company. They are a Tier-1 U.S. data center operator with 25 years of operating history. Over 90% of their inventory is leased to Fortune 100 customers. They know how to build, operate, and lease data centers to the largest companies on earth. They’re backed by Apollo Global Management. One of the largest alternative asset managers in the world with over $600 billion in AUM. Apollo just chose to put their ecosystem partner into a deal with a $300M micro cap….. you can think on that. Second what does this JV actually do? $NUAI has the land, the power strategy, and the vision. What they needed was: A credible operator that hyperscalers trust. Institutional capital to fund construction 80% debt financing at competitive rates so please feel free to continue on with the dilution FUD 😂. This announcement delivered all three. Stream operates the campus. An unnamed institutional investor funds the equity and leads the debt financing. $NUAI contributes the land and co-invests alongside them as an ongoing equity stakeholder. This is the GP/LP model Will Gray described on the March 17th call. It just all got confirmed. Third, why does the 80% debt financing matter? The press release explicitly confirmed approximately 80% debt financing on competitive market terms. That means for every $1B of construction cost $NUAI only needs to fund $200M through equity. The other $800M comes from project level debt backed by the tenant’s creditworthiness. Again, miss me with any of your dilution FUD. They will have access to other financial vehicles as well. This is how you build a multi-billion dollar campus without destroying your share count. The structure works and it just got confirmed. Fourth, what about the hyperscaler? Stream has direct relationships with leading cloud and technology companies and a track record of leasing to Fortune 100 customers. They weren’t brought in to find a tenant from scratch. They were brought in because they already know how to execute with the exact type of customer $NUAI has been in deep talks with. The JV is the vehicle through which the hyperscaler deal gets done. The operator and the capital are now in place. The tenant announcement is the next domino. The bottom line Most people looked at this announcement and saw a company they didn’t recognize partnering with $NUAI. What actually happened is that one of the most credible data center operators in the country backed by one of the largest asset managers in the world just validated NUAI’s asset, their strategy, and their GP/LP model publicly. That’s not a small thing. That’s the institutional stamp of approval the thesis needed. The hyperscaler announcement is coming. Now you know the machine is in place to execute when it does. The Ted Warner hire was the only signal you needed. Anything bearish in here? No not really, other than this is an LOI agreement execution is still key but things are falling into place ⏱️

@samelifeenjoyer imo don’t think they will have a gp/lp structure anymore and they wont be receiving developer fees as stream now assumes that role. They will be more so the lp in the project with a significant equity stake hopefully

@Dragobbbb The post mentions $NUAI as an equity stake holder in the project. The GP/LP model is pretty clear on this.

@litigious_dulce Curious what your thoughts are on if they will still have a GP/LP model through this JV. Seems like they have given that up in exhange for higher equity % in project?

$NUAI, a behind-the-meter data center developer, today announced a LOI to form a joint venture with Stream, a tier-one data center platform backed by Apollo Global Management, for the development and financing of the Texas Critical Data Center campus (“TCDC”) in West Texas (businesswire.com/news/home/2026…). Primary Digital Infrastructure, which helped assemble the financing behind Stargate's flagship data center campus in Abilene, Texas, and whose leadership includes former Digital Realty Trust CEO Bill Stein and former CyrusOne CEO Dave Ferdman, is advising. NUAI will likely work with either $VST or Calpine to leverage the existing adjacent generation assets, which means faster speed-to-power; Thunderhead Energy Solutions, NUAI’s dedicated behind-the-meter power partner for TCDC, has already ordered long-lead equipment for 450 MW. NUAI is pursuing a bidirectional interconnect at TCDC, a design that positions the campus outside SB6’s most restrictive curtailment provisions, while simultaneously creating a revenue stream from excess power sales during off-peak periods. And Ted Warner, who led Northland Capital Markets’ data center practice and structured $7B+ in financing including $APLD’s non-dilutive project finance, was recently appointed NUAI’s CFO. At a $250M market cap (compare with $FRMI, which has $3B+ valuation), NUAI is either the most overlooked data center play in the market — or I'm missing something. Tell me what I'm missing.

$NUAI good news for financing + execution today. Curious what happened to the GP/LP model. Hopefully the sacrifice of developer fees means higher % equity stake in project

@YeshuaNasi Money talks. this along with Ted warners june 30th psu deadline puts the deal closing soon imo

@Dragobbbb But at the same time the note matures mid July so hopefully they get this thing signed soon. Only a few months away so it seems they are confident at least when it comes to paying that 3 million.

$NUAI everyone is only seeing the 2 million share issuance but missed to see the deed admendment with odessa county that elimates their repurchase rights for two years after this admendment after they break ground on phase 1 of TCDC.

@thoomsfn $10-15 medium term assuming full dilution of 100mm shares

$NUAI I’ve spent weeks inside every public interview, filing, and breadcrumb. Here’s what the market is missing. Thread 🧵
