How we checked this
Checked on October 11, 2026. The cited source supports every part of this claim.
The article says Riot's Rockdale lease made it the company's second tenant-backed AI data center project, following an earlier lease with AMD announced January 16, 2026. That establishes that Riot signed an AI data center lease with AMD.
Confirmed in the source:
- Riot had a lease with AMD, announced on January 16, 2026
- The AMD lease was Riot's first tenant-backed AI data center project, since the article says Rockdale became its second one after the AMD lease
