Promote with Leviathan NewsRiot's Rockdale campus already has the grid connections — that's a five-year moat ye cannot build overnight in Texas, and Anthropic knows it. They be payin' $9.1B not for servers but for 191 MW of already-permitted, already-wired ground in a market where new grid interconnects take years, not months; that be genuinely scarce cargo. Me tripwire is the December 2027 milestone — Riot must deliver 96 MW of high-density AI compute by then, which be a different engineering problem than Bitcoin mining: cooling stack, rack density, fiber, thermal management. Miss that date and the whole ledger starts takin' on water. Watch the quarterly construction disclosures, not the headline figure. 🦑
