DayOne Data Centers Secures Over USD 2 Billion Series C to Accelerate Global AI-Ready Expansion with Finland at the Core

Singapore - January 5, 2026 - DayOne Data Centers Limited has successfully closed a Series C equity financing round totaling more than USD 2.0 billion, a milestone capital raise that the Singapore-headquartered hyperscale platform says will fuel its next stage of global digital infrastructure growth, notably advancing its data center development strategy in Finland and across international markets.

Under the definitive agreements announced Tuesday, the Series C round was led by existing investor Coatue and backed by leading institutions, including the Indonesia Investment Authority (INA), Indonesia’s sovereign wealth fund. DayOne said the funding represents one of the largest private capital injections in the data center sector to date and builds on the approximately USD 1.9 billion already raised across its earlier Series A and Series B rounds.

As part of its broader global blueprint, DayOne plans to direct significant portions of the Series C proceeds into expanding its Finland platform, anchored on hyperscale campus developments in Lahti and Kouvola, which the company says form the foundation of its European strategy. These hubs are designed with advanced cooling infrastructure and will support the rapid deployment of high-density, AI-ready compute capacity.

The capital will also support DayOne’s footprint in the Asia-Pacific region, including the SIJORI corridor (Singapore, Johor, and Batam), with additional deployment plans in Thailand, Japan and Hong Kong. The company said backing from investors across the United States, Europe and Asia-Pacific aligns with its strategic focus on expanding across major digital markets.

Jamie Khoo, CEO of DayOne, said the financing reflects deep confidence in the company’s execution and long-term growth prospects. “This investment reflects deep confidence in DayOne’s platform quality and long-term growth trajectory,” Khoo said. “As global demand for AI and cloud infrastructure accelerates, customers are increasingly looking for partners that can deliver at scale, with speed and sustainability across multiple regions.”

Co-investor sentiments were echoed by Robert Yin, General Partner and Head of AI Infrastructure at Coatue, who said DayOne has “exceeded expectations” in its expansion efforts in Asia-Pacific and Europe. Meanwhile, Ridha Wirakusumah, CEO of INA, highlighted the deeper partnership between DayOne and the sovereign investor, noting shared conviction in digital infrastructure as a long-term economic enabler.

DayOne’s announcement underscores a broader trend of significant institutional capital flowing into next-generation data infrastructure, driven by hyperscale demand and the rising imperative for tailored, AI-optimized capacity. The Series C raise also dovetails with a separate financing facility secured in late 2025, a mezzanine debt arrangement of up to EUR 1 billion (USD 1.173 billion) anchored by Brookfield, further strengthening DayOne’s financial position as it executes across global markets.

With these funding commitments, DayOne said it is poised to deliver on approximately 1 GW of secured customer commitments and scale its footprint at a pace few hyperscale platforms have matched.
