Microsoft Is Spending $80Bn On Data Centres This Year In Ongoing AI Revolution
Microsoft has announced plans to spend over $80 billion constructing data centres to process AI workloads in the 2025 financial year.
Microsoft Chair and Vice President Brad Smith also revealed in a blog post that more than half of the company’s planned investment would be directed toward building and expanding data centres in the United States.
“None of this progress would be possible without new partnerships founded on large-scale infrastructure investments that serve as the essential foundation of AI innovation and use,” Smith wrote, confirming the investment plans.
In FY 2025, Microsoft is on track to invest approximately $80 billion to build out AI-enabled datacenters to train AI models and deploy AI and cloud-based applications around the world. More than half of this total investment will be in the United States, reflecting our commitment to this country and our confidence in the American economy.”
Microsoft outlines that its data centre investments will primarily support the company’s AI initiatives and the growing demand from customers using Azure’s cloud service, especially for access to NVIDIA Corp’s powerful graphics processing units (GPUs).
