USD.AI Provides $98.1M Debt Financing to Support Duos Edge AI GPU Deployment Managed by Hydra Host
USD.AI provided a $98.1 million, three-year asset-backed debt facility to finance deployment of 2,304 NVIDIA B300 GPUs at Duos Edge AI data centers, with Hydra Host managing GPU-as-a-Service via its Brokkr platform. The non-recourse, non-dilutive, off-balance-sheet structure isolates risk from Duos Technologies’ corporate balance sheet while accelerating capacity rollouts and monetization of GPU compute. Market impact: this deal expands supply of NVIDIA B300 capacity to enterprise AI workloads and signals continued commercial demand for NVIDIA hardware, which is supportive for NVDA.OQ. The transaction also validates on-chain, asset-backed financing as a scalable capital model for AI infrastructure and could enable faster, capital-efficient expansion of modular “AI Factory” deployments across Hydra Host’s network.
