Blackstone Increases Data Center Bet with Over $1 Billion in Debt for Aligned
Private equity giant Blackstone has expanded its debt facility for Aligned Data Centers to more than $1 billion. The move reflects a surge in investment into AI infrastructure, as demand for hyperscale data centers supporting cloud and AI workloads continues to grow. Aligned operates facilities in Texas, Arizona, Utah, Illinois, and Virginia, and has plans for major expansions. The funding will help build capacity to serve top-tier technology clients increasingly reliant on massive compute power for artificial intelligence applications.
This underlines the strong investor confidence in AI’s long-term infrastructure needs and data centers’ central role in that future.
