  1. Google buys Crusoe's Wyoming data center site, commits $17B to AI campus

    Google acquired Crusoe's Wyoming data center site and plans to invest $17 billion in an AI data center campus in Cheyenne, according to Reuters, Bloomberg, TechCrunch, Crusoe and Google. Google says it will pay for 100% of the project's power. The deal transfers a project that TechCrunch described as troubled to Google, which has also said it will invest in Wyoming's infrastructure, energy and workforce. Fuel-cell power will supply the campus.

    Why it matters

    The sale gives Google control of a site Crusoe had pitched as part of its push to build AI infrastructure around energy generation. Crusoe, which raised $3.9 billion in a Series F at a $30.9 billion valuation in September 2026, remains in the AI infrastructure market. Google's own announcement frames the project as a long-term commitment to Wyoming's infrastructure, energy supply and workforce, though the source excerpts do not specify a construction timetable or the terms of the Crusoe sale.
