[Bitcoin Treasury Company Empery Invests $65 Million in AI Data Center, Targeting 15-Year Long-Term Cash Flow] BlockBeats reported on October 26 that Bitcoin treasury company Empery Digital (NASDAQ: EMPD) plans to invest $65 million to acquire a 25% stake in a private entity that owns an AI data center property in the Midwestern United States. The facility currently has approximately 150 MW of power capacity and its own substation, with future expansion potential to approximately 300 MW. According to previous disclosures by the company, the project is planned to operate on a 15-year net-nearest-lease (NNN) model, with potential total lease payments of approximately $1 billion. As previously planned, the lease income corresponding to Empery's 25% stake is expected to exceed $440 million over the lease term, with payments expected to begin in early 2027. However, the specific lease arrangements are subject to the final signed formal agreement. This investment reflects Empery's expansion from Bitcoin treasury to the AI infrastructure sector. The company previously stated that its financial commitment to the project is limited to $65 million, with potential tenants bearing the costs of data center renovation, electricity, and operations.
