HCWC-Host Digital merger secures 43 MW data-center lease and governance path

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

The combination of a 15-year anchor lease with $1.25B base revenue (up to $3.2B with renewals), 43 MW capacity, and a backstopped tenant reduces near-term financing and delivery risk, providing a tangible valuation catalyst around the merger close. Historical parallels include miner-to-AI infra transitions where confirmed capacity and financing terms supported multiple expansion, though delivery risk remains until 2027.
