Data from compute marketplace Ornn shows NVIDIA GPUs behaving like high-yield assets. An H100 bought at $19K in Sept 2025 is now worth $20.5K used plus $13.5K in net rent — a 76% one-year total return; a B300 bought at $54K in July 2026 is at $65.5K, a 21% return in under three months. Rental indices stand at $2.91/hr for H100 (+49% YoY) and $11.32/hr for B300 (+66% since June), with 87–90% utilization. Ornn projects cumulative value of $63.5K per H100 (+227%) and $186K per B300 (+244%) by Sept 2028, underpinned by rising rents and stable resale values (-5% to +7%).
