GPU Appraisals

Your GPU collateral is worth what someone will pay for it. Not what it cost.

Independent, certified appraisals of GPU and server infrastructure for lenders and finance teams - built on GPU-native residual data, not generic IT equipment curves.

The problem with face value

More than $5 trillion will be invested in AI data center infrastructure through 2030, according to McKinsey - and NVIDIA GPUs sit at the center of it. A growing share of that hardware is financed and lent against, and most of it is still priced on invoice cost minus a depreciation schedule.

Meanwhile, real secondary-market GPU prices swing 30-60% in a year. When a facility is sized on face value, the advance rate is a guess, and the recovery story in a downside case is fiction.

What a report delivers

Certified, USPAP-compliant appraisal reports for GPU infrastructure, built on observed transaction data for the hardware itself. The same framework lenders already trust for aircraft and heavy equipment - applied to the collateral that powers AI.

Fair market value

What the hardware trades for today between willing buyer and seller - the number you can underwrite to.

Orderly liquidation value

The realistic recovery in an orderly sale - the number that sizes your downside.

Going-concern value

Value in continued operation - the number that supports the credit story.

Lenders get a number they can underwrite to. Borrowers get a report that supports tighter pricing and higher advance rates.

What are your GPUs worth? Run a quick estimate.

The same two approaches our certified reports use - market comps with GPU-native depreciation, and income supportability at a 7% target yield - condensed into sixty seconds. Indicative only; the full report cites its sources.

Optional inputs refine the income approach. Power assumes 1.2 kW per GPU including system share, 730 hours/month. Values assume a 6-year equipment life: the income approach discounts remaining-life cash flows at the 7% target yield with 10% annual rate decay and a 10% salvage floor, and both approaches adjust for condition.
