Crusoe Raises 3.9 Billion Dollars to Build AI Data Centres Powered by Cleaner Energy
The AI infrastructure arms race just got another enormous injection of capital. Crusoe, a company that started out converting stranded natural gas at oil wells into electricity to power computing, has raised 3.9 billion dollars in a funding round that values it at 30.9 billion dollars. The money will go towards building both large-scale data centres and a new category the company is calling small modular AI factories.
Key Takeaways
