Related Digital has secured $16 billion in funding to build a massive data centre campus in Michigan's Saline Township, designed to support AI computing demand. The project is backed by equity from Blackstone funds and debt financing anchored by PIMCO, which reportedly purchased approximately $10 billion in project bonds. The development, expected to exceed one gigawatt of capacity, will rank amongst the largest data centre campuses in the United States. It forms part of a collaboration involving OpenAI, Oracle and Related Digital to rapidly expand computing infrastructure for next-generation AI systems. Construction commenced earlier this year. Bank of America helped structure the deal, arranging and selling around $14 billion in bonds, whilst Blackstone's equity contribution is estimated at $2 billion. The project reflects broader industry trends, with tech giants expected to invest hundreds of billions in AI infrastructure this year.
Pacific Investment Management Co. has acquired the entire $400 million bond offering from Blue Owl Capital Inc., according to people familiar with the matter. The purchase represents a significant transaction in the business development company bond market, though further details about the terms and structure of the deal were not disclosed.
Oracle is in early discussions with Pacific Investment Management Co. and Bank of America to arrange approximately $14 billion in debt financing for a Michigan data centre campus supporting OpenAI workloads. The project in Saline Township, led by Related Digital, could see Pimco as a central financing partner through a 144A private placement structure. Blackstone is expected to contribute an additional $2 billion in equity. The financing follows Pimco's successful involvement in Meta Platforms' Hyperion data centre, where it held $18 billion in debt and later recorded a $2 billion paper gain. The Michigan facility is part of Oracle's broader data centre expansion, which includes $38 billion in debt for Texas and Wisconsin projects and $18 billion for a New Mexico facility, reflecting growing capital demands for AI infrastructure.
CVC Capital Partners has secured approximately €3.7 billion in financing for its sports investment platform Global Sport Group, which consolidates stakes in major competitions including La Liga, Premiership Rugby and the Six Nations Championship. The financing package includes €1.4 billion from KKR through insurer Global Atlantic, with about €1 billion structured as preferred equity. Bain's Pimco will provide roughly €1.5 billion in debt financing. KKR may also invest up to €200 million in equity for approximately 6% of the platform. The deal values Global Sport Group at around €7 billion. CVC has invested approximately €4.6 billion in these sports assets since 2018, including €2.1 billion in La Liga and €1.5 billion in France's football league commercial arm. The financing aims to reduce costs and support further sports sector investment.
