**1. Barber Lake lease extended to 20 years / contracted revenue above $9B.** The company amended its Fluidstack lease at Barber Lake and secured a binding commitment from an unnamed "leading AI lab" to lease the facility for an additional 10 years after Fluidstack's term ends, extending the facility's contracted life to 20 years and pushing contracted revenue from roughly $3.8B to over $9B. The follow-on commitment is expected to generate ~$5.2B in incremental contracted revenue.
