Riot Retires $200M Coinbase Credit Line, Collateral Released From Custody
Riot Platforms repaid the remaining principal and interest on its $200 million credit facility from Coinbase Credit and terminated the facility, a Friday filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission said.
The company said the repayment triggered the release of collateral that had been pledged to secure the borrowing line and held at Coinbase Custody Trust Company. Riot also disclosed that the prepayment and termination did not carry an early-exit cost, stating: “No early termination fees or penalties were incurred by Riot in connection with the prepayment or termination.”
The filing summary referenced that Riot “finished paying the remaining principal and interest on Monday,” but it did not specify the exact calendar date for that Monday beyond the timing relative to the Friday disclosure.
What Was Pledged: BTC, USDC and Cash Held at Coinbase Custody
The facility was secured by a pledge of Riot’s financial assets “including Bitcoin, USDC and cash,” with those assets held in custody at Coinbase Custody Trust Company, the filing said.
Mechanically, that structure matters because it places liquid assets under a lien-like encumbrance tied to the credit line. While the facility was outstanding, the pledged Bitcoin, USDC and cash were effectively committed as security for the lender, and the company’s ability to freely redeploy those assets would have been constrained by the collateral terms.
With the facility repaid and terminated, the pledged collateral was released. Riot did not break out, in the disclosed summary, the post-repayment composition or amounts of Bitcoin versus USDC versus cash that were freed, only that the collateral package included those assets and was released upon repayment.
Balance-Sheet Context as Riot Expands AI/Data-Center Revenue
The credit-line retirement comes as Riot continues to build a data-center business alongside its Bitcoin mining operations, using its power footprint and sites to pursue AI and high-performance computing capacity deals.
Riot previously announced a 20-year agreement to supply 191 megawatts of capacity from its Rockdale, Texas campus to a “leading frontier AI” company. Bloomberg later identified the customer as Anthropic and valued the deal at about $9 billion, citing people familiar with the matter. The packet for this story does not include the underlying contract or a direct company confirmation of the counterparty or valuation.
Riot has also reported early revenue contribution from the new line. The company posted $167.2 million in revenue for the first quarter of 2026, with its newly launched data center business contributing $33.2 million.
What Traders Should Monitor Next From Riot’s Filings and Capital Allocation
Riot’s next quarterly filing is the next clean checkpoint for updated cash and Bitcoin holdings, and for any changes in debt or credit arrangements following the facility termination.
Traders will also be looking for a clarification of the exact repayment date referenced only as “Monday,” and for more detail on what portion of the released collateral was held as Bitcoin versus USDC versus cash after the line was closed.
On the AI/data-center side, further disclosures that confirm the counterparty and economics of the 20-year, 191 MW Rockdale agreement would tighten the market’s read on contracted revenue. Any new AI/HPC capacity deals or expansions that change the revenue mix beyond the $33.2 million data-center contribution reported for Q1 2026 would also be a material update.
