A private-credit fund can own loans and borrow against its portfolio, while a feeder adds another financing layer. Each claim has different debtors, collateral and calculation rules.

When the Collateral Is Compute: What a GPU-Backed Loan Actually Owns

GPU-backed private credit is developing into a distinct form of equipment and infrastructure finance. Bullish provided USD.AI with a $100 million stablecoin-based facility in August 2026 to support loans secured by high-performance computing assets, while USD.AI reported more than $281 million of lifetime deployed capital across GPU financings by month-end. The challenge is that the collateral is mobile, rapidly depreciating, technically specialised and economically dependent on data-centre...
