New York, United States - May 28, 2026 - Edged US has announced nearly USD 2 billion in cumulative financing secured year-to-date, marking one of the largest recent capital raises tied to AI-ready digital infrastructure expansion in the United States.
The financing package is centered around a USD 1.3 billion Senior Secured Notes offering completed in April 2026, which the company described as the first bond offering of its kind in the data center sector, designed to support the simultaneous development of multiple sites serving different customers. The proceeds will primarily fund two large-scale build-to-suit campuses in Atlanta and Chicago under long-term lease agreements.
The latest financing round also includes a construction loan supporting the continued development of Edged US’ 200 MW campus in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Financial institutions TD Securities and Crédit Agricole CIB served as coordinating lead arrangers for the Council Bluffs financing, while Morgan Stanley acted as lead left bookrunner for the bond issuance.
Bryant Farland, CEO of Edged US, said accelerating demand for high-performance digital infrastructure is reshaping the pace of development across the AI data center sector.
“Demand for high-performance digital infrastructure continues to accelerate at an unprecedented pace,” Farland said in the company announcement, adding that the financing allows the company to expand alongside hyperscale and enterprise customer requirements.
The announcement comes as AI infrastructure investment across the United States continues to intensify. Cloud providers, enterprise AI operators, and hyperscalers are rapidly increasing capital expenditures to support training and inference workloads, driving a wave of financing activity for high-density data center development. Industry analysts have linked the surge in infrastructure spending directly to the rapid expansion of generative AI and advanced compute demand.
Edged US has positioned itself as a developer focused on sustainable, AI-ready facilities featuring waterless cooling systems and low-power-usage-effectiveness (PUE) designs. The company claims its portfolio is engineered around an average design PUE of 1.15 while operating with zero water usage for cooling.
Its Atlanta campus currently represents one of the company’s flagship AI developments, with approximately 168 MW to 169 MW of planned critical IT capacity. The facilities are designed to support high-density AI workloads, including liquid-cooled deployments exceeding 400 kW per rack.
The company has also expanded aggressively into other strategic U.S. regions, including Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Chicago, and Iowa, targeting markets with growing hyperscale and AI infrastructure demand. Earlier this year, Edged opened a 36 MW waterless AI-ready data center in Arizona’s Silicon Desert technology corridor.
The financing milestone highlights growing investor confidence in next-generation AI infrastructure operators capable of combining scale, energy efficiency, and accelerated deployment timelines. As power availability, water constraints, and cooling efficiency increasingly shape data center site selection, operators emphasizing sustainable infrastructure designs are attracting heightened institutional interest.
Edged US is part of the broader Edged Energy platform, which develops data center infrastructure across North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
