According to BlockBeats, BlackRock's Global Infrastructure Partners is engaged in advanced discussions to acquire Aligned Data Centers for approximately $40 billion. Earlier this year, Aligned secured $12 billion in equity and debt financing, aiming to expand its data center capacity to 5 GW. Currently, Aligned operates with a capacity of around 600 MW and has 700 MW under construction, managing or developing 78 data centers.
Based on the industry rate of approximately $210 per kilowatt per month, Aligned's annual revenue could reach nearly $1.6 billion, potentially increasing to $3.4 billion with the inclusion of its under-construction capacity. CoreWeave has disclosed its projected revenue for 2024 at $1.91 billion, with an operational capacity of 470 MW.
