AndroGuider | One Stop For The Techy You! Crusoe Raises $3B at $30B Valuation After $13B Jane Street Deal https://ai4chat-files.s3.amazonaws.com/images/image_1788502644409.jpg TL;DR * Crusoe has raised $3B at a $30B valuation, a roughly 10x jump in under…debt at attractive rates, a validation signal from one of Wall Street's most sophisticated technology buyers, and a blueprint for similar deals with hyperscalers, labs, and financial institutions.In short, it transforms Crusoe's buildout from speculative development to build-to-suit for a blue-chip tenant. Powering the Stargate Era and BeyondCrusoe's momentum extends well beyond one customer. The company is a key development partner in the initial Stargate campus in Abilene, Texas — the flagship 1.2-gigawatt OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank venture backed by over $500 billion in planned AI infrastructure investment — alongside its own growing pipeline of gigawatt-scale sites.Its pitch is vertical integration: secure gas turbines and grid power, build the shell and power systems, deploy tens of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 and next-gen GPUs, and operate the full stack with high-efficiency cooling.That model is resonating as AI workloads shift from training to always-on inference, which demands even greater uptime, power density, and geographic distribution. What Comes Next for CrusoeThe $3 billion gives Crusoe firepower, but the real test is execution. Hyperscale data centers are capital-intensive, complex, and unforgiving on timelines. Delivering the Jane Street capacity on time and on budget, while advancing Abilene and future phases, will determine whether the $30 billion valuation looks cheap or stretched.An IPO is now firmly in view. With CoreWeave's public debut setting a precedent and investor appetite for AI infrastructure still red-hot, Crusoe has the scale, backlog, and brand to go public as early as 2027 if markets cooperate.For now, the message is clear: the AI buildout has entered its power phase, and Crusoe has positioned itself at the center of it.
