Crusoe Energy is a private company that builds and operates data centers and Nvidia GPU cloud computing capacity for AI, having started out powering computing with otherwise-wasted natural gas.
Crusoe raised a $3.9 billion Series F in September 2026 at a $30.9 billion valuation and developed the Stargate data center campus in Abilene, Texas that it leases to Oracle for capacity used by OpenAI, making it one of the larger vertically integrated AI infrastructure builders.
Crusoe makes money by building and operating data centers and renting out GPU computing capacity, and historically also by selling power from stranded natural gas and other energy sources to computing loads.
