Artificial Intelligence (AI) and High Performance Computer (HPC) mining stocks are rallying pre-market following news of the largest AI infrastructure financing on record, according to Bloomberg.

Cipher Mining (CIFR) and IREN (IREN) are both up 7%, while Bitfarms (BITF) has jumped 12%, as investors rotate back into AI-exposed assets after a recent correction. The rebound comes as banks prepare a $38 billion debt sale to fund two major data centers tied to Oracle Corp (ORCL), in what would be the biggest financing ever for AI infrastructure.

The debt is split into two senior secured credit facilities: $23.25 billion for a Texas project and $14.75 billion for a Wisconsin site, both being developed by Vantage Data Centers for Oracle’s partnership with OpenAI under the Stargate initiative.

The loans will mature in four years, with two one-year extension options, and are expected to price about 2.5% points above the benchmark, according to the article.
Oracle’s broader plan includes up to $500 billion in AI infrastructure investment, underscoring its ambitions in cloud computing and artificial intelligence.
