Deliveries are expected to start in the second quarter of 2027, and the commitment remains subject to final specifications and pricing.

What it means
Before this, there was no described priority allocation tied to these miners; now the commitment is framed as a nonbinding order pipeline that can reach $100 million and still depends on final specifications and pricing. In practice, that leaves the equipment plan in place while the exact scope remains open, instead of locking in final terms today.
