Applied Digital is higher in Monday trading (May 4, 2026) after announcing it closed a $300 million senior secured bridge facility led by Goldman Sachs. The financing provides near-term capital tied directly to the buildout of its AI data center capacity, a key focus for investors watching the company’s hyperscale and HPC infrastructure pipeline.

The company said the bridge facility is structured as a $300 million term loan with a 364-day maturity, bearing interest at SOFR plus 275 basis points. The loan is secured by project assets, is prepayable without a premium, and is intended to fund continued development and construction of Applied Digital’s third AI data center at its Polaris Forge 1 campus in Ellendale, North Dakota.

The announcement reinforces Applied Digital’s ability to source project-level capital as it scales AI-oriented data center capacity, which can help de-risk construction timelines and support future lease execution. At the same time, the short tenor means investors are likely to focus on refinancing plans and the company’s stated expectation that it will seek additional financing to complete construction, which could affect funding costs and capital structure.
