A consortium backed by BlackRock and Abu Dhabi-based fund MGX has committed an additional $5 billion in growth capital to Aligned Data Centers. The move comes after the group completed a $40 billion acquisition tied to one of the world’s largest data center operators.
The new funding highlights continued investor interest in digital infrastructure, with Aligned Data Centers positioned to receive fresh capital for expansion. By adding to its investment immediately after closing the larger transaction, the consortium is signaling a long-term commitment to the data center business.
While the available details are limited, the announcement suggests the buyers are focused on scaling operations and supporting future growth at Aligned. Large capital commitments of this size typically underline expectations for sustained demand in the sector.
The deal also underscores the role of major global investors such as BlackRock and MGX in shaping the next phase of data center ownership and development. With the acquisition now closed and new growth funding in place, Aligned Data Centers appears set to remain a significant player in the market.
