Season-and-sell is live, the first program of its kind in GPU finance. $54.4M facility with @USDai_Official for NVIDIA B300s in Ohio. Deploy → season the assets → deliver financing-ready portfolios to institutional capital. New chapter in GPU finance! #HydraHost #USD.AI #GPUFinance #AIFactory
A $54.4M loan for @get_hydrahost has moved into escrow. This marks the beginning of Hydra’s season-and-sell program, the first in the history of GPU finance. - 1,040 NVIDIA B300 GPUs - Earns 7% in escrow, 10% after funding Hydra Host and USDAI have been working closely together to support faster and better AI factory deployments. More to build.

Our team @get_hydrahost is fortunate to work with @stevejang in the coming years. An impressive track record as a builder/investor and will be a great partner as we build a company we can all be proud of.
Excited to share @KindredVentures led Hydra Host’s $100m Series A alongside @NVIDIA, with participation from @ARKInvest, @foundersfund, @Comcast, @scottmcnealy and Magnetar. Hydra Host is an AI compute platform which operates an asset-light and distributed neocloud, enabling the long fat tail of AI datacenters around the world to provide GPU compute to offtake customers anywhere. In the last year, one name has emerged as the cutting edge flexible GPU compute provider behind the scene of many of the most interesting AI-native platforms: @get_hydrahost. Hydra not only solves a key software technology unlock for AI infra at the datacenter level, but also helps solve a larger macro issue of GPU supply and demand in a compute-bound world today. Outside of energy and social politics, what are the current solvable problems in AI infra? - the total-cost-of-ownership for the datacenter operator - the real-world build-out and utilization risks of new powered shells and older data center site conversions. - the reliability, size, and price equation for demand offtake customers who are hungry for GPUs as a service. Today, using a novel combination of an OS software network on bare metal and a dynamic marketplace of compute that can handle short term to long term commitments for raw GPU time, Hydra serves as a distributed neocloud but with zero assets. Instead of a high-capex anchored approach, the company is using a rapid scaling strategy and has accumulated a coverage network of 60 datacenters (and growing) across 5 continents and orchestrates raw GPUs-as-a-service in realtime to the benefit of most of the major inference platforms, many frontier labs, spot/on-demand marketplaces/exchanges, and enterprises. Hydra also procures, finances, and deploys new AI factories with partners such as @Nvidia and @Dell at greenfield or brownfield sites for telcos, REITs, asset managers, other neoclouds, and now sovereign nations - adding to their growing GPU capacity network of AI datacenters. In just two year since launch, the company currently has over $2B of compute booked by its customers. As demand continues to far exceed compute supply at increasing speed, we’re fired up about the GPU capacity unlock and the AI factory deployment Hydra enables, and that in turn, AI-native companies and enterprises can benefit from as they develop models or use inference at massive scale. Big congrats to @aginnt and the entire Hydra team!

Excited about what @EximBankUS is working on with partners like El Salvador who are committed to building on the US AI tech stack.
Important conversations happening at the @EximBankUS 2026 Annual Conference. @GarrettJohnson joined government and industry leaders to tackle a question that's becoming impossible to ignore: How do you monetize sovereign AI infrastructure at scale? El Salvador is the live proof of concept, and the work being driven by @stacyherbert and Ambassador @MilenaMayorga is showing what's possible when national leadership gets serious about it. This is what the future of AI policy looks like in practice. What does your country's sovereign AI strategy look like? Drop your thoughts below. 👇 #HydraHost #SovereignAI #AIInfrastructure #EXIM2026 #AIPolicy #ElSalvador #EmergingMarkets #GeopoliticsOfAI

I look forward to discussing how President @nayibbukele and our partners in El Salvador are leading on Sovereign AI in the Western Hemisphere at the EXIM 2026 Summit today in DC.
Hydra Host is heading to Washington! Our Co-Founder & COO, Garrett Johnson, will take the stage at the 2026 EXIM Annual Conference on April 29 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel, joining leaders from the @EximBankUS, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. Department of State, and @armadaskis . The conversation: how sovereign AI becomes bankable. El Salvador is the live case. Hydra Host is on the ground, designing and deploying AI infrastructure, aligning demand, energy, and regulation, and structuring the project for financing. It's proof that this model works. And it's a blueprint for how EXIM can power America's next wave of AI exports across the Western Hemisphere. If America wants to lead in AI, it must export the full stack, compute, power, and capital. Looking forward to the conversation alongside Sarah Whitten, Heather Goethert, Brandon Remington, and Dan Wright. #EXIM26 #SovereignAI #AIInfrastructure #ExportFinance #HydraHost

President @nayibbukele is building a new El Salvador!
Hydra Host was proud to participate in @sovaisv in El Salvador, an event that made one thing clear: the global race for AI is accelerating, and new leaders are emerging. With the support of President @nayibbukele and a strong national focus on innovation, El Salvador is positioning itself as a serious contender in sovereign AI. As our COO, @GarrettJohnson, shared, access to advanced compute infrastructure is quickly becoming a defining factor in global competitiveness. At SovAI, we saw firsthand how quickly this ecosystem is taking shape, from cutting-edge hardware deployments to a growing pipeline of local talent ready to build the future. We’re excited to continue expanding our presence in El Salvador and contributing to an AI ecosystem that empowers both public and private sectors. The future of AI won’t be centralized, it will be built by nations ready to move fast, execute, and lead. #AI #SovereignAI #HydraHost #Innovation #ElSalvador #SovAI

El Salvador is proving that with the right partners and the right infrastructure, nations can move fast and build at a world class level. Hydra Host is proud to be part of that momentum.
The new El Salvador is the frontier 🇸🇻 And the CEO of Google just let the world know: El Salvador is pioneering the global AI rollout. We aren't waiting for permission to build, and we aren't accepting handouts of old technology. El Salvador proves: YOU CAN JUST DO THINGS.

The future of AI infrastructure is being built on contracts, not guesswork. Hydra’s latest blog by @NotASithLord breaks down how AI Factory offtake agreements are shaping the next phase of AI infrastructure. These agreements bring predictability to GPU deployments, align capital with real demand, and turn compute into a dependable, revenue-generating asset. For operators, investors, and enterprises, offtake is how bare metal scales responsibly. It lowers risk, improves utilization, and accelerates deployment without relying on opaque cloud economics.

The Hydra team are the stars in this. We couldn't have done it without so many of them believing in us and putting in long hard hours with us to make it happen. Thank you for a fantastic 4 years and this is only the beginning.
Four years ago today, a group of bold (some might say crazy) entrepreneurs launched Hydra Host. Since then, we’ve lived the full startup story—scrappy beginnings, uphill battles, and some unbelievable wins. In early 2024, we made a pivotal move: doubling down on GPUs. That decision put us on a 🚀 and we haven’t looked back. Today, Hydra is powering an AI Factory Accelerator Model, helping build data center infrastructure and go-to-market strategies not just for companies, but for entire countries. Huge thanks to our founders, @aginnt, @GarrettJohnson, and @NotASithLord, for jumping on this wild ride. Here’s to what’s next. 🍻

A customer told us last week, 'Your service is great. You're like a bot with immediate response.' That’s how we maintain a 92% utilization rate across 15K+ GPUs. Exceptional service is how we win.
If your GPUs aren’t running at 90%+ utilization… what are you doing? Hydra manages over 15,000 GPUs globally at 40+ data centers — and we keep them busy. We help #datacenters go from idle infrastructure to revenue-generating assets fast. 📩 Email sales@hydrahost.com to get started today. #AIInfrastructure #GPUUtilization #BareMetal #ClusterManagement #MonetizeYourGPUs
