CoreWeave's newest GPU loan costs SOFR plus 5.50%. Twelve filed lines on its debt, and the demand behind it.

Every figure below was read from CoreWeave's own filings on sec.gov, and from the latest 10-Q or 10-K of Meta, Microsoft, Oracle and Amazon, and is cited with its accession. We show no bond yields, no CDS levels, no share prices and no analyst estimates, because none of them is filed. Sums, differences and quarterly figures derived from six-month totals are our arithmetic on filed values and are marked (Ours.) Research, not investment advice.

In mid-October the bond market repriced CoreWeave's $CRWV debt. That repricing is the headline, and none of it is in a filing. We don't price bonds. We read what the company signed.

What it signed is specific. CoreWeave's newest GPU-backed loan pays Term SOFR plus 5.50%. In March an investment-grade one paid SOFR plus 2.25%. Both numbers are in 8-Ks. The latest periodic report is the Q2 10-Q of 12 August (accession 0001769628-26-000366); the last 8-K is the convertible closing of 22 September (0001769628-26-000432). We checked EDGAR at 04:30 UTC on 21 October and found nothing later. Twelve lines follow.

1. $35.6 billion of principal

Total debt principal was $35,551 million at 30 June (10-Q Note 10, 0001769628-26-000366). Recourse debt, net of discounts, was $31,405 million, against $20,726 million at 31 December. Non-recourse debt was $3,663 million, against $647 million. (Ours: recourse debt rose $10,679 million in six months.)

The convertible-offering presentation, furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to the 8-K of 17 September (0001769628-26-000429), puts total debt at $1.6 billion, $8.0 billion, $21.6 billion and $35.6 billion for FY-23, FY-24, FY-25 and Q2-26.

2. What each 2026 borrowing costs

Each instrument, from its own filing:

(Ours: the secured-loan margin is 3.25 points wider in August than in March, and the convertible coupon 1.125 points higher in September than in April.) This is not one series. DDTL 4.0 was backed by one investment-grade contract; its press release calls it "the first investment-grade rated financing secured by HPC infrastructure". DDTL 5.0 funds contracts with "two large, non-investment grade customers". DDTL 5.5 is described in line 6. Different collateral, different price. For the rate history before 2026, see our August note on GPU lending.

3. The interest line against the operating line

Second quarter, from the 10-Q income statement (0001769628-26-000366): operating loss $(49) million, interest expense, net $(640) million, net loss $(626) million. The results 8-K of 11 August (0001769628-26-000362) gives the same $(49) million and $(640) million.

Note 10 breaks the debt interest down: contractual interest of $592 million in Q2, against $250 million a year earlier; $1,075 million for the half. Capitalised interest took $79 million off the quarter. (Ours: $592 million times four is $2,368 million a year at the Q2 run-rate.)

The presentation (0001769628-26-000429) shows a weighted-average interest rate of 14.9% for FY-23, 12.2%, 9.0%, then 8.3% at Q2-26, and 7.8% "pro forma". Its footnote: the pro forma assumes a "$3.5B Convertible Note issuance at 2.625% interest, does not include DDTL 5.5". The note priced at $4.2 billion and 2.875% (0001769628-26-000432).

4. What falls due, against what is in hand

Principal due, from Note 10:

(Ours: $10,597 million falls due between July 2026 and December 2027.) Liquidity at 30 June was $15,553 million: cash of $5,524 million, marketable securities of $15 million and $10,014 million available under facilities.

The risk factors give the half's debt service: "approximately $6.2 billion, consisting of $5.2 billion of principal payments and $982 million of interest payments". Operating cash flow for the same six months was $3.7 billion.

After the quarter: "In August 2026, the Company made a $1.2 billion draw down on the Revolving Credit Facility", and $1.2 billion was drawn on DDTL 5.5 (10-Q subsequent events). The September convertible's net proceeds were "approximately $3,644.5 million" before the upsize option, of which "approximately $498.8 million" went to capped calls (Exhibit 99.1, 0001769628-26-000432).

5. The backlog that is meant to repay it

"As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $103.7 billion of unsatisfied RPO, of which 41% was expected to be recognized over the initial 24 months ending June 30, 2028" (0001769628-26-000366). (Ours: about $42.5 billion in 24 months.) Revenue backlog in the presentation is $104.2 billion and "Does not include more than $25 billion of net new customer commitments added in early Q3". It puts total debt to revenue backlog at 0.3x.

The presentation also describes how the asset-level loans are built: each "Typically amortizes as customers make contractual payments, such that the debt is fully repaid by the time the customer contract expires."

6. The loan that outlives its contracts

DDTL 5.5 is the exception to that sentence, and its own press release says so (Exhibit 99.1, 0001769628-26-000357): "Unlike prior delayed draw term loan facilities backed by customer contracts extending through the maturity of the debt, the DDTL 5.5 Facility carries an approximate five-year maturity while its underlying customer contracts average approximately three years in length." It includes "the option for CoreWeave to either renew existing contracts or re-lease capacity to other customers at the end of the initial underlying contracts". The 10-Q gives a September 2031 maturity and a draw window to December 2026.

7. Who pays

Customers A and B were each 32% of receivables at 30 June. The 10-Q does not name them and warns that the letters "may represent different customers than those reported in a previous period". Its risk factors say "Other significant customers include Microsoft and OpenAI." The FY2025 10-K (0001769628-26-000104) does name one: "approximately 67% of our revenue from our top customer, Microsoft, for the year ended December 31, 2025." No 2026 share for Microsoft is filed.

8. The named contracts

From the 10-K (0001769628-26-000104): OpenAI committed "up to approximately $11.9 billion through October 2030" and "up to approximately $6.5 billion through May 31, 2031"; Meta "up to approximately $14.2 billion through December 2031". Then the 8-K of 9 April (0001769628-26-000154): Meta "has initially committed to pay the Company approximately $21 billion", for capacity through 20 December 2032. The 10-Q adds that Jane Street "committed approximately $6.0 billion", and Jane Street bought about $1.0 billion of stock at $109.00 a share (8-K 0001769628-26-000167).

9. Cash in, cash out

Six-month operating cash flow was $3,663 million; purchases of property and equipment were $14,117 million (0001769628-26-000366). The Q1 10-Q (0001769628-26-000222) gives $2,984 million and $7,695 million. (Ours: Q2 alone, $679 million in and $6,422 million out.) Financing brought in $13,985 million for the half.

CoreWeave gave its 2026 capital-expenditure outlook on its earnings call, not in a filing. We do not print it.

10. How long the GPUs last on paper

The 10-K: "Effective January 1, 2023, the Company changed its estimate of the useful life for its computing equipment utilized in data centers from five to six years". Depreciation and amortisation on property and equipment was $1.4 billion in Q2, against $553 million a year earlier. Technology equipment stood at $33,823 million gross, construction in progress at $11,918 million (10-Q). The depreciation schedule assumes six years; the DDTL 5.5 contracts average about three.

11. The covenant date: 28 October

The DDTL 3.0 First Amendment, 8-K of 2 January (0001769628-26-000003), says it "aligns the facility for the timing of deliveries". It cut the minimum liquidity to $100.0 million for payment dates from March to April 2026, postponed the first debt-service-coverage test "until October 31, 2027", and "permits an unlimited number of equity cures ... prior to October 28, 2026, and thereafter equity cures with respect to such financial covenants may be utilized no more than three consecutive calendar months in any four consecutive calendar month period." No later amendment has been filed by 8-K.

At 30 June: "the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its delayed draw term loan facility agreements." DDTL 4.0 also requires restricted cash on "a forward-looking three-month coverage of scheduled cash interest and principal payments" (10-Q).

12. The demand on the other side

All filed, all for the June or August quarter:

(Ours: 13% of Oracle's $664 billion is about $86 billion.) None of those four filings names CoreWeave; we searched each. The $21 billion Meta order is filed only on CoreWeave's side.

The two halves of the file, together: the demand is contracted at the top of the stack, and it reaches CoreWeave as multi-year take-or-pay contracts. CoreWeave's filings show what it pays to carry its share, and that each new layer of 2026 debt has been priced higher than the one before. For the off-balance-sheet structures the hyperscalers use, see our shadow-debt map.

What to watch, with dates

• 21 October: Meta's Q3 8-K. The commitments line arrives with the 10-Q, not the release.
• 28 October: the unlimited equity-cure window under DDTL 3.0 closes (0001769628-26-000003).
• November 2026: DDTL 5.0 starts monthly amortisation (10-Q).
• December 2026: DDTL 5.5's draw window ends.
• CoreWeave's Q3 10-Q: no date has been filed. Read the debt table, the customer letters and the share count for sales under the 35,000,000-share programme set up on 17 September, whose stated uses include "migrating its enterprise credit profile toward investment grade" (0001769628-26-000429).

Run it yourself

/filings/CRWV lists every 8-K above. Open the DDTL 4.0 and DDTL 5.5 press releases side by side; the rating line and the sentence about contract length take a minute. /financials/CRWV holds the standardised statements, including the interest line against operating income.

Then write down what you expect from the Q3 10-Q. Our Thesis Monitor reads each new filing against what you wrote: principal at $35,551 million, Customer A at 36%, RPO at $103.7 billion, liquidity at $15,553 million. It tells you which of them moved. If you work inside an agent, the same filings are on the EvidInvest MCP server. It is free to start, credit packs from $10, and there is no subscription.

The yield is not in any filing. The spread, the maturity and the length of the contracts behind it are.
