CoreWeave launches a $2.6B term loan to fund GPU acquisition
CoreWeave launched a $2.6B term loan to finance GPU purchases — continued debt-funded capacity expansion.
PitchBook (2026-07-17) reported CoreWeave’s $2.6B term loan raised to support GPU acquisition.
This is capacity financing, not a corporate-control event, but it is the mechanism behind the instance-rate movements this page tracks. CoreWeave’s packaging change captured in this run is logged in its own entry.
No published GPU price moved between the June and July 2026 cards (HGX H100 $49.24/$19.71, H200 $50.44/$20.93, B200 $68.80/$34.11, GB200 NVL72 $42.00, A100 $21.60/$9.65 all held), but the shape of the card changed. Two General Purpose (Standard Memory) CPU shapes were added spot-only — AMD Turin 9655P at $3.94/hr and Intel Emerald Rapids 8562Y+ at $2.86/hr in North America — with on-demand marked Contact Sales. The $15,000/mo 100G Virtual Direct Connect tier became Not Available, leaving 10G at $1,500/mo, and the reserved-storage capacity discount footnote was removed, making up-to-60% reserved compute the only publicly advertised commitment discount.
