Svmuu News: AI data center provider Crusoe Energy Systems is in talks for a new round of financing worth approximately $3 billion. Upon completion of this round, the company’s valuation is expected to triple compared to the previous round, reaching approximately $30 billion.
Founded in 2018, Crusoe initially started as a crypto-related business before transitioning into an AI infrastructure and data center service provider. It is currently classified as one of the “neocloud” companies—a new type of cloud computing enterprise—focused on providing computing power for generative AI. The company has signed computing power supply contracts with tech giants including Meta and Oracle, and as demand for AI infrastructure surges, its computing power business continues to expand.
Previously disclosed information indicates that Crusoe raised approximately $1.38 billion in funding last year, with a valuation exceeding $10 billion. If this funding round is successfully completed, it will mark another massive capital move in the AI infrastructure sector.
Market observers expect the final valuation for this round to be around $30 billion, but the deal is still in progress and has not yet been finalized. (Reuters)
