Key Points Overview:

• According to existing enterprise GPU leasing agreements, the first $1 million "public treasury" is expected to yield an annualized return of about 30%.

• Initial funding will be managed by InfraHub Compute, the investment arm of NexGen Cloud.

Compute Labs, a startup powering AI data centers, is converting industrial-grade GPUs into revenue-generating fractionalized tokens and collaborating with enterprise AI cloud company NexGen Cloud to launch a $1 million ownership distribution plan for the "public treasury."

Currently, the capabilities and profitability of AI infrastructure are primarily concentrated among hyperscale providers like AWS or large venture-backed companies. However, Compute Labs is attempting to provide holders with direct access to the profit potential of enterprise hardware, such as the NVIDIA H200 GPU priced at approximately $30,000 each, through its tokens.

Compute Labs stated, "For investors, this pilot project offers the opportunity to earn stablecoin yields directly from real-time AI computing power for the first time, without the need to manage hardware or rely on overvalued public company stocks."

Europe's NexGen focuses on providing AI computing capabilities to clients and raised $45 million in funding this April. The initial funding for this project will be managed by its investment arm InfraHub Compute.

How It Works

According to the press release, the funds raised will be used by InfraHub to purchase GPUs, which will be fractionalized for investors and clients to use.

The first "treasury" has raised $1 million from investors. The initial treasury will be equipped with top-tier NVIDIA GPUs, which are currently used for "AI training and inference." Based on existing enterprise GPU leasing agreements, the expected annualized return (calculated in USDC) could exceed 30%.

Nikolay Filichkin, Chief Business Officer of Compute Labs, mentioned in an interview with CoinDesk that the target customers for the project include data center operators who have extra rack space and wish to increase their computing capacity, similar to "mom-and-pop" shops in the data center field.

Filichkin stated, "When data centers use GPUs owned by investors, Compute Labs will manage them through its protocol and balance sheet and lease the GPUs to the data centers. After deducting costs such as hosting and energy, the net income will be returned to investors who own a portion of the GPU computing power."

These GPUs will be tokenized and fractionalized, stored in the treasury, and then offered to individual investors in increments of a few hundred dollars. Additionally, NFTs will be used to distinguish different types of tokenized GPU hardware investments.

Compute Labs has received support from institutions such as Protocol Labs, OKX Ventures, CMS Holdings, and Amber Group. The company employs a unified 10% fixed fee structure for tokenization, asset management, and yield management.

Youlian Tzanev, co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of NexGen Cloud, stated, "This model gives each GPU cycle a concrete and tradable value, directly connecting supply, demand, and price by eliminating speculative behavior from investors, thereby making the AI market more rational."
