Crusoe, a prominent data center developer with a client roster that includes Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI, has closed a $3 billion funding round. According to Bloomberg, the investment values the company at $30 billion.<\/p>\n
The new capital raise was co-led by Atreides Management and Valor Equity Partners. Mubadala Capital, the asset management arm of Abu Dhabi\u2019s sovereign wealth fund Mubadala, also participated in the deal.<\/p>\n
This latest financing follows significant commercial momentum for the company. Bloomberg recently reported that Crusoe entered into a five-year, $13 billion cloud contract with quantitative trading firm Jane Street to provide GPUs and AI infrastructure.<\/p>\n
The current valuation marks a substantial increase from last October, when Crusoe raised $1.38 billion at a $10 billion valuation. Since launching in 2018 as a cryptocurrency mining operation fueled by flared natural gas, the company has transformed into a major provider of AI infrastructure and cloud services, notably developing hyperscale data center campuses for clients such as Oracle and OpenAI.<\/p>\n
Industry observers noted earlier this month that Crusoe has engaged with investment bankers, including Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, to explore a potential initial public offering in the near future, Axios reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
