AI infrastructure averages 3.6% of GDP annually

- Total U.S. investment in AI data centers from 2025 to 2032 is projected to reach $10.3 trillion, averaging 3.63% of GDP per year.
- Meta’s Hyperion project has $30 billion in assets against $27 billion in debt, putting its project-level debt ratio at 90%.

Researchers from Brookings and Columbia estimate that off-balance-sheet debt supported by leases, joint ventures, SPVs, and private credit has reached about $1.4 trillion, with $700–800 billion sitting with banks. If demand or project timelines falter, equity in these highly leveraged projects could be wiped out first, with the effects then spreading through banks and insurers.

In the short term, sentiment around AI stocks remains hard to contain, and on-chain AI tokens are riding the volatility. If you’re holding AI coins, what’s your cost basis?
