Google bought Crusoe's Wyoming data center and plans $17 billion
Business
Google just bought an unfinished data center in Wyoming from Crusoe, a company known for its crypto-mining roots.
The site was originally meant to be massive (think 10-gigawatt power) but ran into cost and timeline issues.
Now, Google plans to invest a huge $17 billion to develop the data center campus and boost its tech infrastructure in the state.
Crusoe raised $3.9 billion, targets AI
Even after selling the Wyoming project, Crusoe isn't slowing down.
It recently raised $3.9 billion and is focusing on big data centers that support AI for major clients like Oracle, OpenAI, Microsoft, and Meta.
Plus, it's still teaming up with Google on another data center in Texas, showing how it has shifted from crypto-mining to powering the future of artificial intelligence.
