Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Axe Compute Inc. announced a new five‑year customer contract with total committed value of over $1.5 billion to deploy a dedicated NVIDIA Blackwell‑based AI infrastructure cluster in the United States.

With previously announced Build agreements, 2026 signed contracted value now exceeds $3 billion. The new contract supplies more than 9,200 NVIDIA Blackwell B300 GPUs and is expected to increase annual run rate to roughly $696 million, compared with a $385 million run rate reported earlier in July 2026.

Axe Compute anticipates receiving over $534 million in aggregate customer prepayments within 30 days, which it plans to combine with project‑level financing to fund GPU and infrastructure capital expenditures. Management expects Build deployments to begin generating monthly revenue this quarter, with additional cluster activations in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Positive

  • Secures a five‑year AI infrastructure contract with total committed value of over $1.5 billion.
  • Total 2026 signed contracted value rises to more than $3 billion with this and prior Build agreements.
  • Annual run rate is expected to increase from $385 million to over $696 million upon deployment of Build contracts.
  • Axe Compute anticipates over $534 million in customer prepayments within 30 days to fund GPU and infrastructure capex alongside project‑level financing.

Negative

  • None.

Filing Explained

The Build project is structured for Axe Compute to design, deploy, own, and operate the infrastructure, meaning the company—not the customer—would own the underlying GPUs and could redeploy that capacity after the contract ends.

annual run rate financial
"Revenue from this agreement is anticipated to boost annual run rate to over $696 million"
Annual run rate is an estimate of a company's revenue or other financial metric for a full year based on its performance over a shorter period, such as one month or a quarter. Investors use it like projecting a snapshot forward—similar to multiplying a single month’s sales to see what a full year might look like—to gauge growth or scale quickly, but it can be misleading if results are affected by seasonality, one-time events, or recent changes.
project-level financing financial
"prepayments allow us to secure project-level financing that reduces our reliance on equity"
Financing arranged specifically for a single project where lenders and investors look only to that project's future cash flow and assets for repayment, not to the broader balance sheet of the organizations behind it. It matters to investors because risk, returns, and protections are tied to the project's success—like lending against a rental property that must produce enough rent to cover the mortgage—so performance and contract details directly determine potential gains or losses.
dedicated, single‑tenant infrastructure technical
"This contract reflects a customer requirement for dedicated, single‑tenant infrastructure"
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

EXHIBIT 99.1

Axe Compute Secures $1.5 Billion Five-Year Dedicated AI Infrastructure Contract, Surpassing $3 Billion in 2026 Signed Contracted Value

  • Five‑year, $1.5 billion B300 cluster contract lifts 2026 signed contracts above $3 billion and is expected to increase ARR to roughly $696 million.
  • More than $534 million in cash prepayments power the next phase of expansion.

PITTSBURGH, July 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Axe Compute Inc. (NASDAQ: AGPU) today announced a new five-year customer agreement with a total committed contract value of over $1.5 billion to deploy a massive NVIDIA Blackwell-based dedicated AI infrastructure cluster in the United States. The contract, secured through Axe Compute’s Build program, supplies over 9,200 NVIDIA Blackwell B300 GPUs in a purpose‑built cluster designed, deployed, owned, and operated by Axe Compute.

Together with previously announced Build agreements, this new contract lifts Axe Compute’s total 2026 signed contracted value to more than $3 billion. Axe Compute anticipates receiving over $534 million in aggregate customer prepayments over the next 30 days in connection with this agreement and the previously announced contracts, which are expected to cover a substantial portion of the associated GPU and infrastructure capex.

Axe Compute intends to pair these prepayments with project-level financing to fund the remaining buildouts. Axe Build programs are expected to begin contributing monthly revenue as deployments come online, with monthly revenues starting this quarter and further cluster activations in the fourth quarter of 2026. Revenue from this agreement as well as previously announced contracts is anticipated to boost annual run rate to over $696 million upon deployment, nearly double the $385 million run rate the company reported earlier this month.

“Our largest deployments come with significant up-front prepayments, which allow us to secure project-level financing that reduces our reliance on equity financing," said Christopher Miglino, Chief Executive Officer of Axe Compute. "This agreement adds another major contracted deployment to our Axe Build portfolio and brings our total signed contract value for 2026 to more than $3 billion, nearly double where we stood earlier this year. We are focused on continuing that pace through the end of 2026 and into 2027."

This contract reflects a customer requirement for dedicated, single‑tenant infrastructure. The Build project is designed for production‑scale AI workloads that demand predictable performance, including real-time inference, continuous model fine-tuning, and high‑throughput data pipelines where latency and noisy‑neighbor variability are unacceptable. The cluster also includes ancillary services to support token production and dedicated networking for high‑speed inference, all delivered under a single integrated Build agreement.

Through Axe Compute Build, customers gain access to fully integrated AI infrastructure without putting data center assets on their balance sheets or taking on the burden of design, deployment, and day-to-day operations. This structure also gives Axe Compute an additional growth lever beyond new sales: because the company owns the underlying GPUs outright, capacity that comes back online at the end of a contract can be redeployed.
