summary: "J.P. Morgan estimates that the seven largest AI companies have pledged $4.5 trillion for future data center leases and hardware, with only 15% of those liabilities recorded as debt. Google holds the largest off-book obligations at $1.08 trillion, followed by Meta at $810 billion and Microsoft at $575 billion. These multiyear agreements for chips and power capacity have contributed to rising debt insurance costs and an 8% reduction in hedge fund exposure to the sector."
