Non-Marketable Equity Investments Under Equity Method
Our non-marketable equity method investments include an arrangement, entered into in October 2025, to co-develop a data center campus in Louisiana (the Venture), in which we hold a 20% membership interest. This Venture provides strategic optionality and flexibility, which we expect will enable us to effectively meet future infrastructure capacity needs as AI markets and technologies develop. The parties have committed to fund their respective pro rata share of approximately $27 billion in total estimated development costs.
Our lease agreements with the Venture, which cover the right to use properties on the data center campus, will commence in 2029 and have an aggregate initial lease commitment of approximately $12.31 billion. Each leased property has an initial four-year lease term and options to renew for a total lease period of up to 20 years. In addition, we have provided residual value guarantees (RVG) with an aggregate threshold of approximately $28 billion that decreases over time. If we decide to terminate or not renew a lease, and if certain other conditions are met, our maximum RVG payment would equal any shortfall between the fair value at that time and the RVG threshold for that property. RVG payments are not probable, and therefore no liability has been recorded to date.
Significant judgment is required to identify the activities that most significantly impact the Venture's economic performance based upon the purpose and design of the entity. This judgment included, but was not limited to, considering future conditions that may impact the fair value of the Venture's long-lived assets (including expectations of payments under the RVG) or the Venture's ability to generate cash flows. On the basis of analyses performed, decisions pertaining to remarketing the data center campus, including but not limited to, negotiations with future lease tenants and individual property sales, were determined to have the most significant impact on the Venture's economic performance. As we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the Venture's economic performance, we are not the primary beneficiary and, therefore, do not consolidate the variable interest entity (VIE). Our ongoing involvement with the VIE includes providing construction management, administrative and property management services to the Venture.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of our equity investment included within non-marketable equity investments on our condensed consolidated balance sheets was $2.37 billion and $1.83 billion, respectively, and our maximum exposure to loss related to the Venture was $45.99 billion and $45.95 billion, respectively, consisting of the carrying value of our equity investment, the lease commitments, our estimated future funding commitments, and the maximum RVG threshold.
In addition, we have other types of unconsolidated VIEs of which we are not the primary beneficiary. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our maximum exposure to loss in these VIEs was $5.79 billion and $5.58 billion, respectively, which represents the carrying value of our investments.
