Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures required for audited annual financial statements. In the Company’s opinion, all necessary adjustments have been made for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, please refer to and read these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on August 2, 2023. Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates Use of Estimates The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements include estimates of the valuation allowance associated with the Company’s deferred tax assets. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Datacenter Hosting Revenue The Company provides energized space to customers who locate their hardware within the Company’s co-hosting facility. All Datacenter hosting performance obligations are achieved simultaneously by providing the hosting environment for the customers’ operations. Customers pay a fixed rate to the Company in exchange for a managed hosting environment supported by customer-provided equipment. Revenue is recognized based on the contractual fixed rate, net of any credits for non-performance, over the term of the agreements. Any ancillary revenue for other services is generally recognized at a point in time when the services are complete. Customer contracts include advance payment terms. All advanced service payments are recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue once the related service is provided. Cloud Services Revenue The Company also provides managed cloud infrastructure services to customers, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning developers, to help develop their advanced products. Customers pay a fixed rate to the Company in exchange for managed cloud services supported by Company-provided equipment. Revenues are recognized based on the fixed rate, net of any credits for non-performance, over the term of the agreements. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. Assets and liabilities are classified using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows: • Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, for similar assets or liabilities that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company will update its assumptions each reporting period based on new developments and will calculate fair value based on the revised assumptions, as applicable. See Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements for further discussion of the Company’s fair value measurements. Segments The Company has identified three reportable segments: cloud services (“Cloud services”), high-performance compute hosting (“HPC hosting”), and datacenter hosting (“Datacenter hosting”). The Company’s chief operating decision-maker evaluates performance, makes operating decisions and allocates resources on both a consolidated basis and on the basis of these three reportable segments. Intercompany transactions between segments are excluded for management reporting purposes. The Datacenter hosting segment operates datacenters to provide energized space to crypto mining customers. Customer-owned hardware is installed in the Company’s facilities and the Company provides operational and maintenance services for a fixed fee. The Cloud services segment operates through our Sai Computing brand and provides cloud services to customers, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning developers, to develop their advanced products. Customers pay a fixed rate to the Company in exchange for a managed hosting environment supported by Company-provided equipment. The HPC hosting segment designs, builds, and operates datacenters which are designed to support high-compute applications using advanced and sophisticated infrastructures to provide services to customers. See Note 3 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC, for additional information regarding the Company’s significant accounting policies and use of estimates. Assets Held For Sale The Company generally considers assets to be held for sale when the following criteria are met: (i) management commits to a plan to sell the property, (ii) the property is available for sale immediately, (iii) management has initiated an active program to locate a buyer or buyers and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the disposal group, (iv) the sale of the property within one year is considered probable, (iv) the property is actively being marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and (vi) significant changes to the plan to sell are not expected. Property classified as held for sale is no longer depreciated and is reported at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment - Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets . Reclassifications Balance Sheet We have reclassified certain prior period amounts in our condensed consolidated balance sheets to conform to our current period presentation. Specifically, we have reclassified “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” to separate captions of “Accounts payable” and “Accrued expenses.” We have also reclassified the presentations of restricted cash from “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” to its own caption of “Restricted cash” and security deposits from “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” to “Other assets.” Finally, we have condensed “Sales and use tax payable” into “Accrued expenses.” Income Statement We have reclassified certain prior period revenue amounts from “Revenue” to “Related party revenue” and have reclassified interest income from “Selling, general and administrative” expense to “Interest expense, net” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations to conform to our current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on reported net income, cash flows, or total assets and liabilities. Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash The Company has restricted cash related to its letters of credit totaling $36.5 million, which is held in money market funds. The Company is required to keep these balances in separate accounts for the duration of the letter of credit agreements, which have terms of up to two years. These letters of credit were issued in lieu of security deposits. The Company considers the money market funds to be Level 1 which the Company believes approximates fair value. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash within the consolidated balance sheets that are included in the consolidated statements of cash flows as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023 were as follows (in thousands): February 29, 2024 May 31, 2023 Cash and cash equivalents $ 4,435 $ 28,999 Restricted cash 29,545 14,575 Restricted cash included in other assets 7,000 — Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash $ 40,980 $ 43,574 |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The majority of the Company’s non-financial instruments, which include lease assets and property and equipment, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur, a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment. If the Company determines that the non-financial instrument is impaired, the Company would be required to write down the non-financial instrument to its fair value. No such triggering events were identified during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024. The Company’s debt outstanding under the AI Bridge Loan (See Note 5 - Related Party Transactions for further discussion) contains an accelerated redemption feature and the Company has elected to measure the entire note at fair value. The Company has not elected to measure its other existing long-term debt instruments at fair value. The Company engaged a third party valuation specialist to assist management in its determination of the fair value of the AI Bridge Loan. Changes in the fair value of debt are disclosed in loss on change in fair value of debt on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Fair value of debt is determined on a recurring basis, which results are summarized as follows (in thousands): February 29, 2024 Debt instrument Fair Value Hierarchy Outstanding Principal Fair Value AI Bridge Loan Level 3 $ 15,000 $ 17,612 The fair value of the AI Bridge Loan was estimated using a discounted cash flow method applied to the remaining quarterly payments using a credit-adjusted discount rate calculated based on a risk-free rate derived from the U.S. yield curve for a similar term plus a credit risk adjustment derived from an estimated credit rating of CCC and above and which ranged from 5.31% to 5.71%. The resulting fair value represents a Level 3 fair value measurement. |

Specifically, the complaint asserts claims pursuant to Section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegedly false or misleading statements regarding the company’s business, operations, and compliance policies, including claims that the Company overstated the profitability of its datacenter hosting business and its ability to successfully transition into a low-cost cloud services provider and that the Company’s board of directors was not “independent” within the meaning of NASDAQ listing rules. The case is in an early stage, and the Court has not appointed a lead plaintiff nor has any class been certified. The Company has not yet responded to the complaint and no response is currently due. On November 15, 2023, a derivative action was filed in the matter styled, Weich v. Cummins, et al. , Case No. A-23-881629-C in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada. The Weich complaint names as defendants certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors and its Chief Executive Officer Wesley Cummins and purports to name chief Financial Officer David Rench as a defendant. The complaint asserts claims for breaches of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, and corporate waste against the individual defendants largely based on the same fact allegations as the Securities Lawsuit. On February 27, 2024, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint, asserting the same causes of action against the same defendants as the original complaint. The deadline to file or otherwise respond the amended complaint is April 12, 2024. The Company is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, that could result were there to be an adverse final decision in this action. If an unfavorable action were to occur, it is possible that the impact could be material to the Company’s results of operations in the period(s) in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable. As of February 29, 2024, there were no other pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s consolidated operations. There are also no legal proceedings in which any of the Company’s management or affiliates is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest. Settlement of Potential Claim During the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with respect to employment-related claims by a former executive. The terms of the settlement included payment to the claimant of $2.3 million, which is included in loss on legal settlement on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share Basic net income (loss) per share (“EPS”) of common stock is computed by dividing a company’s net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if the securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The table below shows the calculation for earnings per share: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended February 29, 2024 February 28, 2023 February 29, 2024 February 28, 2023 Net loss $ (62,838) $ (7,341) $ (85,221) $ (38,750) Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest — (316) (397) (577) Net loss attributable to Applied Digital Corporation $ (62,838) $ (7,025) $ (84,824) $ (38,173) Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Applied Digital Corporation $ (0.52) $ (0.07) $ (0.77) $ (0.41) Basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding 121,426,622 94,119,944 110,500,556 93,545,687 |

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] | |
Assets Held for Sale | Assets Held for Sale During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company’s board approved plans to sell its Garden City facility. As such, the Company determined that the Garden City datacenter hosting facility met the “held for sale” classification as of February 29, 2024. On March 14, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the facility for a total potential cash consideration of $87.3 million (the “Cash Purchase Price”). As part of the agreement, the Company can earn additional consideration if it is able to assist the buyer in achieving regulatory approval for additional megawatt energization for the Garden City datacenter hosting facility within 120 days after the transaction closing (the “Contingent Amount”). As such, the associated property, equipment, and lease assets and liabilities have been classified as “held for sale” and the Company recorded a charge of $21.7 million in loss on held for sale classification on its condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024 to record the asset group at its fair value less costs to sell. The Company has determined that this disposal did not qualify as a discontinued operation as the sale of the Garden City Facility was determined to not be a strategic shift as it does not represent a change in services provided or a change to the Company’s customer base. Assets and liabilities held for sale as of February 29, 2024 are as follows: Assets held for sale Property and equipment, net $ 57,260 Finance lease right of use assets 8,109 Total assets held for sale $ 65,369 Liabilities held for sale Current portion of finance lease liability $ 3,657 Long-term portion of finance lease liability 4,622 Total liabilities held for sale $ 8,279 The Company has calculated the loss on assets held for sale as of February 29, 2024 based on the purchase price agreed upon with Marathon on March 14, 2024. The Company notes that the purchase agreement contains a $34.0 million “holdover” amount that is conditionally owed to the Company if additional energy capacity at the facility receives regulatory approval within 120 days of closing. For purposes of applying the fair value as of February 29, 2024, the Company did not consider achievement of this approval probable, and therefore has not considered any of the holdover amount when calculating the implied purchase price and fair value. Further, the Company notes that Marathon will release approximately $10.0 million of deferred revenue held by the Company in conjunction with the closing of the agreement. The Company also notes that Marathon will receive all assets related to the facility but is only assuming the ground lease liabilities, and the remaining $5.1 million of equipment lease liabilities are the responsibility of the Company to pay off at closing. Accordingly, the Company has excluded these lease liabilities in its calculation of fair value below. See below for the Company’s calculation of the implied transaction price and fair value and the resulting loss on the classification of assets as held for sale (in thousands): Assets held for sale Maximum Purchase Price $ 87,329 Less: Conditional Amount (34,000) Cash Consideration 53,329 Lease Liabilities Assumed 3,207 Deferred Revenue Released 9,971 Implied Fair Value 66,507 Less: Estimated Costs to Sell (1,200) Total fair value less costs to sell $ 65,307 Loss calculation Carrying value of assets held for sale $ 87,030 Less: Fair value less costs to sell 65,307 Loss on classification of held for sale $ 21,723 |

Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events Cornerstone Bank Loan Funding On March 1, 2024, the Company received funding under the Cornerstone Bank Loan. The funding, net of issuance fees, totaled $15.7 million. See Note 6 - Debt for further discussion of the Cornerstone Bank Loan. AI Bridge Loan Subsequent to the quarter ended February 29, 2024, the Company borrowed the remaining $5 million in funds available under the existing AI Bridge Loan. This additional borrowing brings the total outstanding under the AI Bridge loan to $20.0 million. On March 27, 2024, concurrent with the Yorkville Promissory Notes, the Company and the Lender entered into a Waiver, Consent and Amendment with respect to certain provisions of the AI Bridge Loan as set forth above (the “Amendment and Waiver”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Amendment and Waiver, (i) the Lender agreed to waive the prepayment obligations of the Company that otherwise would have been triggered upon closing of the PPA and Promissory Notes described below, and (ii) the Company’s obligations with respect to the repayment fee due to the Lender were amended so that upon repayment the Lender would receive an aggregate amount equal to 1.30x the aggregate principal amount funded as loans by the Lender to the Company in accordance with the terms and provisions of the AI Bridge Loan. Sale of Garden City Facility On March 14, 2024, APLD – Rattlesnake Den I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Mara Garden City LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of Marathon Digital Holdings, Inc., pursuant to which Rattlesnake Den I LLC agreed to sell to Mara Garden City LLC its datacenter facility located in Garden City, Texas (the “Garden City Transaction”). The Garden City Transaction closed on April 1, 2024. Yorkville Convertible Notes On March 27, 2024, the Company entered into a Prepaid Advance Agreement (the “PPA”) with YA II PN, LTD., a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership (the “Investor”). In accordance with the terms of the PPA, the Investor has agreed to advance up to $50.0 million to the Company pursuant to two convertible unsecured promissory notes (the “Promissory Notes”). The Company issued the first Promissory Note on March 27, 2024, in the principal amount of $40.0 million, in consideration of a cash payment from the Investor of approximately $38.0 million, representing a five percent original issue discount. The second Promissory Note will be issued in the principal amount of $10.0 million, less a five percent original issue discount, within two trading days after a resale registration statement relating to the shares of common stock underlying the Promissory Notes is declared effective. The Promissory Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, which have a par value of $0.001 per share. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures required for audited annual financial statements. In the Company’s opinion, all necessary adjustments have been made for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, please refer to and read these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on August 2, 2023. |
Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates | Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates Use of Estimates The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements include estimates of the valuation allowance associated with the Company’s deferred tax assets. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Datacenter Hosting Revenue The Company provides energized space to customers who locate their hardware within the Company’s co-hosting facility. All Datacenter hosting performance obligations are achieved simultaneously by providing the hosting environment for the customers’ operations. Customers pay a fixed rate to the Company in exchange for a managed hosting environment supported by customer-provided equipment. Revenue is recognized based on the contractual fixed rate, net of any credits for non-performance, over the term of the agreements. Any ancillary revenue for other services is generally recognized at a point in time when the services are complete. Customer contracts include advance payment terms. All advanced service payments are recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue once the related service is provided. Cloud Services Revenue |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. Assets and liabilities are classified using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows: • Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, for similar assets or liabilities that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company will update its assumptions each reporting period based on new developments and will calculate fair value based on the revised assumptions, as applicable. See Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements for further discussion of the Company’s fair value measurements. |
Segments | Segments The Company has identified three reportable segments: cloud services (“Cloud services”), high-performance compute hosting (“HPC hosting”), and datacenter hosting (“Datacenter hosting”). The Company’s chief operating decision-maker evaluates performance, makes operating decisions and allocates resources on both a consolidated basis and on the basis of these three reportable segments. Intercompany transactions between segments are excluded for management reporting purposes. The Datacenter hosting segment operates datacenters to provide energized space to crypto mining customers. Customer-owned hardware is installed in the Company’s facilities and the Company provides operational and maintenance services for a fixed fee. The Cloud services segment operates through our Sai Computing brand and provides cloud services to customers, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning developers, to develop their advanced products. Customers pay a fixed rate to the Company in exchange for a managed hosting environment supported by Company-provided equipment. The HPC hosting segment designs, builds, and operates datacenters which are designed to support high-compute applications using advanced and sophisticated infrastructures to provide services to customers. |
Assets Held For Sale | Assets Held For Sale The Company generally considers assets to be held for sale when the following criteria are met: (i) management commits to a plan to sell the property, (ii) the property is available for sale immediately, (iii) management has initiated an active program to locate a buyer or buyers and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the disposal group, (iv) the sale of the property within one year is considered probable, (iv) the property is actively being marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and (vi) significant changes to the plan to sell are not expected. Property classified as held for sale is no longer depreciated and is reported at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment - Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets . |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications Balance Sheet We have reclassified certain prior period amounts in our condensed consolidated balance sheets to conform to our current period presentation. Specifically, we have reclassified “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” to separate captions of “Accounts payable” and “Accrued expenses.” We have also reclassified the presentations of restricted cash from “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” to its own caption of “Restricted cash” and security deposits from “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” to “Other assets.” Finally, we have condensed “Sales and use tax payable” into “Accrued expenses.” Income Statement We have reclassified certain prior period revenue amounts from “Revenue” to “Related party revenue” and have reclassified interest income from “Selling, general and administrative” expense to “Interest expense, net” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations to conform to our current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on reported net income, cash flows, or total assets and liabilities. |
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash | Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash The Company has restricted cash related to its letters of credit totaling $36.5 million, which is held in money market funds. The Company is required to keep these balances in separate accounts for the duration of the letter of credit agreements, which have terms of up to two years. These letters of credit were issued in lieu of security deposits. The Company considers the money market funds to be Level 1 which the Company believes approximates fair value. |
