The author explains that they had Tessara analyze over 7,000 SEC filings to uncover "legally binding" AI infrastructure commitments and see exactly how much money is locked in across the supply chain.
The listed figures include:
- CoreWeave: $60.7B in take-or-pay compute contracts
- Micron: $22B in storage supply commitments, including $18B in cash prepayments
- Meta: $40B in multi-year cloud capacity commitments
- Oracle: $13.3B in power commitments and $260B in data center leases
- Cisco: Procurement commitments doubled to $14.1B
- Intel: $1.7B in customer prepayments
The author concludes that these companies are forming a "hundreds of billions of dollars" mutual lock-in, meaning the real money flowing into AI infrastructure is vastly larger than it appears on the surface.
