BlackRock-led consortium (including AI Infrastructure Partnership and MGX) commits $5 billion in growth capital to Aligned Data Centers following a $40 billion acquisition, signalling institutional capital flooding into AI-optimised data centre capacity.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you sell power, cooling, or real estate to data centres, the money just moved: $40 billion acquisitions and $5 billion follow-on cheques mean operators are locking in capacity right now, and they'll buy everything they need this quarter to hit those growth targets. Locked-in customers at scale—call them before they're committed to a competitor.
