Data center operator Switch eyes $50 billion valuation in new funding
A $50 billion valuation is on the table as Switch, the Las Vegas-based data center developer, enters negotiations to secure billions in fresh capital. The move signals a major liquidity push for the firm, which counts heavyweights like Nvidia and Tesla among its primary infrastructure clients.
Founded in 2000 by CEO Rob Roy, the firm operates at the intersection of a rapidly expanding artificial intelligence sector that relies heavily on its server capacity. While the company has not publicly confirmed the specifics of the fundraising round, the scale of the valuation reflects the broader surge in dealmaking activity across the data center industry. Switch currently maintains a diverse client portfolio that includes FedEx and Logitech, solidifying its role as a critical node in enterprise computing infrastructure.
