How to read these numbers
Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.
Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.
No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.
Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.
Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.
Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Show response
Dan Roberts said conversations are extending beyond 3-5 years, run as a portfolio balancing anchor tenants and AI developers.
Calendar 2026 Q1
curious what you're seeing on the demand profile there, just what potentially type of workloads are going on
Show response
Kent Draper said older generations (A100s, H100s, H200s) are effectively fully utilized across the industry, with pricing for older units climbing in some cases and demand strong across both inference and training, extending their life cycles.
Calendar 2025 Q4
You made a comment earlier about strong demand for older generation chips.
Show response
Older chips shift toward inference; Kent sees a long economic life exceeding the 5-year Microsoft contract.
Calendar 2025 Q2
just curious what went into the decision to start developing Horizon 2
Show response
Daniel Roberts said only long-lead deposits are committed for Horizon 2, preserving fast time-to-power; further demand validation (AI cloud take-up, colocation inbounds) supports the small-capital, optionality-led approach.

Calendar 2026 Q1
you mentioned conversations with both hyperscalers and enterprise customers. Curious if there's any preference
Show response

if there's been any kind of change in how you're thinking about developing the power portfolio moving forward

RIOTRiot Platforms, Inc.2 questions · 1 reporting period · 0 of 2 challenging
Calendar 2025 Q1
On the recent $100 million credit facility with Coinbase, just kind of curious why now for this
Show response

Any color on how you think about Global hash trending in the current tariff environment
Show response
