How we checked this
Checked on September 19, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The headline confirms the fee simple land acquisition and a data center lease with AMD at Rockdale, but it does not establish that Riot leases the data center from AMD rather than to AMD.
Confirmed in the source:
- Riot announced a fee simple acquisition of land at the Rockdale site
- Riot announced a data center lease involving AMD at the Rockdale site
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- That Riot is the tenant leasing the data center from AMD (the headline does not specify the direction of the lease)
That does not mean it is false — only that this source does not establish it, as of the date above. If we find a source that settles it, we will re-check and update this page.
What we did: Read our cached copy of the publisher (https://www.cnn.com/markets/stocks/RIOT) in full (14,634 characters, retrieved August 31, 2026) and checked each assertion in the claim against it.
