GPU Appraisals
A practice of Value Prism Consulting

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.
