Nodestream Launches Verified OTC Marketplace Bringing Transparency to the $25B+ Enterprise GPU Market

HOUSTON, TX, August 19, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- Nodestream, a Blockware division, today announced the launch of the Nodestream Marketplace, a verified over-the-counter (OTC) venue for enterprise GPUs and HPC hardware. Nodestream estimates the mid-market enterprise compute opportunity — non-hyperscaler AI infrastructure spend outside the top cloud providers — at $25–40 billion annually. This market still relies heavily on broker relationships, lacks pricing transparency, and moves quickly as available inventory is often committed before buyers can act.

Built on Blockware's record of more than 400,000 machines deployed and hundreds of megawatts energized since 2017, the marketplace is the first public step toward a full-stack NeoCloud. Where most NeoClouds, the GPU-specialized providers that have grown up alongside the hyperscalers, lease the capacity they run on, Nodestream plans to own the hardware, colocation, power and land underneath its compute.

Nodestream is led by Chief Executive Officer Megan Brooks-Anderson, former Chief Operating Officer of Riot Platforms (NASDAQ: RIOT). The marketplace is the online expansion of an established OTC desk that has closed $330 million in hardware deals globally. 

Nodestream is an authorized reseller for Supermicro, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Dell Technologies, Lenovo, and TD Synnex, sourcing equipment through OEM channels alongside its verified secondary-market inventory. To access the marketplace, Nodestream requires counterparties to pass tiered Know-Your-Business (KYB)/Anti-money laundering (AML), export-control and proof-of-funds checks, and validates hardware provenance down to serial numbers.

“AI is constrained by hardware, colocation, power and land. Whoever sits at the center of all four becomes infrastructure the rest of the industry depends on,” said Brooks-Anderson. “We're starting with the hardware: an exchange with real inventory, real prices and verified counterparties. The broker market is unpredictable and lacks the fast, built-in KYB we run on every deal. By vetting every supplier and buyer upfront, we de-risk these complex transactions for everyone involved. From there, we power the infrastructure itself — connecting clients directly to the power, land and compute that make AI possible.”

What buyers can do today

• Browse verified HPC inventory: Live OTC listings across the current NVIDIA stack — HGX B300 NVL8 and B200 systems, H100 SXM5 and A100 SXM — each with per-unit pricing, available quantity, seller location and lead time. Buyers filter by manufacturer, chipset or condition to get straight to hardware that matches their build.
• Full technical specs on verified listings: Each listing carries complete specifications — GPU generation, CPU configuration, memory and networking — alongside minimum order, deposit terms, warranty and lead time. Transactions are secured via deposit, with both crypto and wire transfer accepted.
• Deal-desk sourcing for anything unlisted: Buyers spec exactly what they need — GPU model, server count, chassis and OEM preference, networking fabric, target price — and the Nodestream deal desk sources the closest match from its vetted supplier network, with a live quote summary tracking the configuration as it's built.
• GPU-as-a-Service proposals for hosted compute: For teams not ready to own hardware or who need to burst to meet demand, buyers describe a workload — training, fine-tuning or inference — with capacity and start date, and receive a scoped GPUaaS proposal with rate, term, region and onboarding timeline.

“We built the marketplace around one idea: a client should go from browsing verified inventory to a structured quote and deposit in minutes, not weeks,” said Justin Carlson, Chief Product Officer. “Real prices, real quantities, real lead times on every listing, before a client ever talks to anyone. When a client needs something that isn't listed, our deal desk sources it from a vetted supplier network, the same vetting that keeps unverified equipment and misrepresented deals out of every transaction. Saving all parties time and money. Through 2027, we're rolling out turnkey HPC sales for GPUs already racked in data centers, plus automated sourcing tools built on the same rails, so a client can describe a build and get back priced, verified options without making a single call."

The road to the NeoCloud

The marketplace is the front door to a platform spanning all three of Nodestream's business lines. Hardware brokerage is live today. GPU-as-a-Service follows on reserved NVIDIA GB300 and B300 capacity — dedicated clusters, not shared cloud — with GPU-backed financing available at close. Power and land anchor the rest: roughly 23,000 acres of deeded land across the U.S. with grid interconnection on site, plus power development and colocation capacity under development nationwide. 

The Nodestream Marketplace is live now at app.nodestream.ai. Buyers, sellers and partners can reach the deal desk through the app or sales@nodestream.ai.
