BlackRock and Nvidia Agree to $40 Billion Data Center Acquisition
The Financial Times reports the two companies will jointly acquire one of the world’s largest data center operators in a landmark $40 billion deal.
Fact Check
The statement is substantively true. Multiple credible sources (Reuters, Yahoo Finance) explicitly report that an investment consortium, which includes both BlackRock and Nvidia, will acquire Aligned Data Centers in a deal valued at $40 billion. While the statement simplifies the matter by not mentioning other consortium members like xAI and Microsoft, the core claim that BlackRock and Nvidia are involved in a $40 billion data center acquisition is directly supported and corroborated by the evidence.
