Kevin O'Leary became a strategic investor in a NASDAQ-listed AI infrastructure company, calling it essentially a power company.
The firm expects up to 190 MW of Nordic data center capacity approaching ready-for-service status by 2027-2028, as similar capacity has recently been valued at roughly $1.7 million to $2 million per MW annually.
Google plans to invest $15 billion in Finland's AI infrastructure, with Cerebras also building a 165 MW facility nearby.  |
