Fixed-price sovereign GPU capacity, without the lock-in.
Reserve UK/EU-resident H100 blocks at a fixed price below on-demand. Need changes? Relist what you don't use back to us. One relationship, the whole European market.
H100 rates are up 37% since December.
The tier you actually rent in — neocloud, not hyperscaler — has risen from $2.00 to $2.75 a GPU-hour in seven months, at five times the volatility of the administered hyperscaler rate. Every month you buy on-demand is a month you take that path unhedged.
Same chip. Same week. 10.7× the price.
Twenty-five verified European providers, one SKU. The cheapest H100-hour in Europe is $1.50; the dearest is $15.98. Nobody buying one account at a time sees this picture — which is precisely why the spread survives.

Reserved pricing, minus the trap
Sovereign capacity should not force a 36-month lock-in. The desk gives AI teams fixed-price blocks with a clean exit.
Fixed price without lock-in
Reserve UK/EU-resident H100 capacity below on-demand — without a 12–36 month commitment you can't unwind. Blocks are fixed-price and transferable.
Residency you can attest
UK-only or EU-sovereign, certifications attested in writing for your risk team and client DDQs. Evidence lands in the procurement file, not a follow-up email.
One counterparty, whole market
Reserve through Stonehold instead of opening accounts across every European cloud. One relationship, the vetted European market.
Relist what you don't use
If plans pivot or capacity sits idle, relist the remainder back to us and we work to re-place it through our bilateral capacity network.
Transact through one relationship
Four steps, with the option to relist if your needs change.

Data and analysis on the European GPU market — rate methodology, residency, and the economics of reserved capacity.
How we build the KXC Rate: a sovereign GPU benchmark
What goes into the weekly indicative rate for UK/EU-resident H100 capacity — sources, residency tiers, and why the median beats the headline.
The residency gap: what 'EU region' does and doesn't buy you
Most 'EU' GPU capacity is EU-located but US-owned. For regulated buyers that distinction is the whole game. A field guide to the tiers and the evidence.
Fixed price without the lock-in: reserved capacity, minus the trap
Reserved GPU pricing usually means a 12–36 month commitment with no exit. Why transferable blocks change the risk calculus for AI teams.

FAQs
Fixed-price blocks, residency evidence, single-counterparty buying, and relisting unused capacity.
Do you provide GPUs directly?
We don't run data centres. We buy sovereign capacity wholesale and sell it to you as fixed-price blocks, then take back and re-place capacity you no longer need where possible. You get one contract and access to the whole vetted European market.
How do you vet capacity?
We review pricing, availability, cluster stability, provider ownership, location, energy profile, and written residency evidence. The quote includes the tier and evidence your procurement or risk team needs.
Do I need to switch providers?
Reserve through Stonehold as your single counterparty — no need to open accounts across providers. If you already have strategic provider relationships, we can structure around them where the capacity and residency tier fit.
How does Stonehold improve cost and optionality?
We source fixed-price sovereign blocks below on-demand where supply allows. If your needs change, you can signal interest to relist the remaining capacity back to us instead of being trapped in a long reserved commitment.
Who is Stonehold designed for?
AI teams, regulated enterprises, labs, and infrastructure buyers that need UK/EU-resident H100 capacity, predictable pricing, and optionality without managing every provider relationship themselves.
