Arkon Energy, a data center infrastructure company, closed a $110 million private funding round to expand its operations, the company’s CEO Josh Payne shared exclusively with TechCrunch.
“These sites appeal to both bitcoin miners and AI [or] machine learning clients who have very high power computing demands,” Payne said.
“We are essentially a landlord who owns the underlying infrastructure assets.”Arkon’s business model focuses on strategically acquiring distressed data center assets across the globe.
“The current and future demand for data center capacity of all types that we are seeing globally, but especially in the U.S., is unprecedented and monumental.
Arkon aims to fill that gap by providing the underlying infrastructure layer that the AI sector relies on.
