AI & Market Structure

Cross-company structural analysis of AI platform economics, market structure shifts, and the capital structure of the compute buildout. Who borrows, what each is made to promise, what the indentures reveal about the houses and the players, and a four-rung grading of every dollar in the buildout by what must still happen for it to become cash.

Cape Fear Advisors has published more than twenty cross-company pieces analyzing the structural economics of the AI buildout. The work reads across NVIDIA, CoreWeave, SpaceX, OpenAI, Oracle, Microsoft, Alphabet, Apple, SB Energy, and their counterparties, applying the quality-of-cash framework, the circular financing mechanics, the required share identity, the participant ledger, and the supplier addition to the capital structure of the compute build. Pieces in this register draw on multiple company filings simultaneously and address the market structure rather than a single issuer.
