This milestone reflects accelerating demand from the world's leading hyperscale cloud providers, enterprises, and AI-native companies for Crusoe's vertically integrated approach to AI infrastructure. Crusoe's model is purpose-built for AI infrastructure, spanning from energy to computing to cloud services. Unlike traditional data center developers that treat power and construction as sequential processes, Crusoe develops both simultaneously from the start. The company manufactures long-lead electrical components at its own factories in Colorado, Oklahoma, and Louisiana, and ships prefabricated equipment ready for installation, thereby shortening timelines, reducing risk, and creating campuses that make Crusoe the preferred partner for the world's most demanding hyperscale cloud providers. This integration extends to Crusoe Cloud, an AI platform built for training, inference, and high-performance computing. Crusoe designs, builds, and operates its own infrastructure, delivering time, performance, and economic advantages to customers. From AI-native companies to enterprises, Crusoe enables teams to focus on innovation rather than managing infrastructure.

Crusoe's data center development projects signed with hyperscale customers span five AI data center campuses in the United States. At the flagship 1.2 GW campus in Abilene, Texas, purpose-built for Oracle, the first two buildings are operational, with six more under construction. The company recently broke ground on a second 900 MW campus in Abilene for Microsoft. Additionally, Crusoe has signed contracts to build two more large campuses in Texas and a fifth campus in Missouri, each at different stages of site work and construction, with dedicated power strategies tailored to energy resources and site requirements.

With a development pipeline exceeding 40 GW, Crusoe is targeting a market opportunity that McKinsey & Company forecasts will require 156 GW of AI-related data center capacity by 2030. Its power strategy encompasses natural gas, renewable energy, batteries, grid interconnection, and partnerships with leading energy infrastructure companies, enabling it to develop AI campuses at locations and scales previously considered challenging.

Chase Lochmiller, co-founder and CEO of Crusoe, stated that the demand for AI infrastructure from the world's leading technology companies—fast and at scale—has never been greater, and Crusoe is uniquely positioned to meet it. The company is working shoulder-to-shoulder with customers to move from vision to operational infrastructure at the speed AI requires. Nearly 5 GW of signed capacity reflects customer trust, and the company takes that responsibility seriously. Crusoe is building the AI factories of the future, ensuring that every AI builder—from the most innovative AI startups to the world's largest hyperscale cloud providers and enterprises—has infrastructure that matches their ambition.
