I mean nothing is disappearing off the balance sheet. They have this lease agreement they will need to pay.
I would watch for what they do with the freed up cash though. If they use these GPUs they already own as collateral to *double down* on buying more GPUs then we got some serious downturn risk building because its leveraged.
Btw this is like 100% what Jensen was saying when he said gpu compute would be an "investable asset class".
