Introducing GPU Value Protection
Value Protection for GPU Infrastructure
GPU Value Protection (Residual Value Swap, RVS) guarantees a minimum sale price for your GPUs at a future date. You pay a quarterly premium, and, should you elect to sell your GPUs at the end of the contract term, you're guaranteed to receive the agreed-upon price.
Why It Matters
The economics of GPU ownership have become increasingly complex. Acquiring high-performance hardware like NVIDIA H100s or B200s requires significant capital investment, often tens of millions of dollars for a meaningful deployment. At the same time, these assets depreciate under extreme technological uncertainty. New GPU generations, evolving training paradigms, and shifting infrastructure requirements can abruptly collapse resale values even when hardware remains fully operational.
This creates a difficult position for datacenter operators. Traditional financing treats GPU terminal value as uncertain or worthless, forcing operators to accept conservative terms or absorb significant equity risk. Lenders, meanwhile, struggle to underwrite GPU collateral without making worst-case assumptions about liquidation outcomes.
RVS solves this problem by transferring end-of-life price risk from the asset owner to another party. This allows operators to evaluate GPU deployments based on expected operating performance rather than worst-case liquidation scenarios, while giving lenders a defined floor under collateral recovery.
How It Works
You purchase an RVS contract when acquiring GPUs, specifying the hardware covered, coverage period, and guaranteed sale price.
You pay an upfront premium for the protection.
At contract maturity, if you elect to sell your hardware, your GPUs get purchased at the guaranteed price. If you choose to keep your hardware, the contract ends and you keep your GPUs.
