BlockchAIn Digital Infrastructure Unveils $9.9 Billion Plan for 715MW Data Center Pipeline Across the US
BlockchAIn Digital Infrastructure, a New York-listed company focused on powering data centers for blockchain, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing workloads, has outlined an ambitious US development pipeline totaling approximately 715 megawatts. The plan, detailed in an April 2026 investor presentation, spans nine sites across South Carolina, Minnesota, and Texas, along with other unnamed markets still under evaluation. The company estimates the entire pipeline could require around $9.9 billion in capital expenditure over five years, signaling a major bet on the convergence of AI and digital-asset mining infrastructure.
The company currently operates a 40MW data center in South Carolina, which is described as operational and cash-flowing, with an additional 25MW of upgrade capacity available. BlockchAIn said 20MW of that capacity is transitioning to AI workloads in the future, while a separate 100MW pipeline site in Florence County, South Carolina, is planned for AI GPU hosting, with an energization target set for the second quarter of 2028. In Minnesota, the company owns a site in Crow Wing County where development is already underway, targeting 25MW of power delivery by the fourth quarter of 2026.
Texas accounts for the largest named portion of the pipeline. BlockchAIn listed a 20MW data mining site in Wise County, currently in due diligence and targeted for energization in the fourth quarter of 2026. It also listed a 75MW AI GPU hosting site in Collin County, now at the letter-of-intent stage, with an energization target of the third quarter of 2027. A further 200MW AI GPU hosting opportunity in Reeves County, Texas, is described as being in early development, with a readiness target of the third quarter of 2028. The company’s strategy, as outlined in the presentation, is to secure power first, then deploy modular AI data center infrastructure utilizing liquid-cooling to draw heat away from GPUs under high-density, compute-heavy workloads. Customers would be expected to supply their own GPUs, servers, and AI-model software.
Ultimately, the company frames its development plan around surging AI and high-performance computing demand, but also includes digital-asset mining facilities in the pipeline. BlockchAIn said its growth strategy is centered on a multi-site development pipeline targeting approximately 715MW of total capacity across digital-asset mining and AI workloads between 2026 and 2030. The plans remain forward-looking and are still subject to permitting and return thresholds, but the scale of the investment underscores the growing competition for power and infrastructure in the data center industry.
