$CRWV isn’t paying 15% interest. Only 4% of their debt costs that.
I went through the Q2 10-Q line by line. Out of ~$35B in debt, exactly one loan sits at 15%. It’s $1.3B, due March 2028, and already being paid down.
The 15% chart going around is the market yield on their 2032 bond. A higher yield doesn’t change what CoreWeave pays. It works like a mortgage. If you locked in at 3% and rates go to 7%, you’re still paying 3%. CoreWeave locked that bond at 9.625% and still pays 9.625%.
What they actually pay
> $6.6B of convertibles at ~2%
> ~$10B of bonds at 9-10%
> Most secured loans around 9%
> ~8.4% blended across everything
They have roughly $20B of 2026 capex left to fund, and 2027 will need more. Their main funding tool has been loans backed by customer contracts. The investment grade one backed by Meta priced around 5.9% in March. If they keep borrowing that way, I think the math holds.
Zooming out, the AI trade still looks intact to me.
$ASML reported record Q3 profit this morning and said lithography demand will outrun their supply in 2027 and 2028, even after adding ~30% capacity each year. Customers are already asking about 2029 and 2030 slots.
Demand is still outpacing supply everywhere I look.
