[AI Data Center Crusoe Plans $3 Billion Financing, Valuation May Rise to $30 Billion] Odaily Planet Daily News: AI data center Crusoe Energy Systems is in talks for a new round of financing of approximately $3 billion. Upon completion of this round, the company's valuation is expected to achieve a threefold increase compared to the previous round, reaching around the $30 billion range. Founded in 2018, Crusoe initially started with crypto-related businesses but later transitioned into a provider of AI infrastructure and data center services. It is currently classified as one of the "neocloud" new cloud computing companies, focusing on providing computing power support for generative AI. The company has already signed computing power supply contracts with tech giants including Meta and Oracle. With the surging demand for AI infrastructure development, the scale of its computing power business continues to expand. Previously disclosed information shows that Crusoe completed approximately $1.38 billion in financing last year, with a valuation exceeding $10 billion. If this round of financing is successfully completed, it will mark another large-scale capital move in the AI infrastructure sector. Market insiders estimate that the final valuation for this round of financing may land around the $30 billion level, but the transaction is still ongoing and has not yet been finalized. (Reuters)
