This $30.9 billion AI startup sells its unfinished data center to Google, the company that once said no to it

Google has bought Crusoe’s unfinished data center project in southeastern Wyoming, taking direct control of a site it had earlier declined to sign on to as a customer. Crusoe, the Denver-based AI infrastructure developer, confirmed the sale on Friday, a day after Google announced a $17 billion investment to build its first data center campus in the state.Neither company has disclosed what Google paid. Crusoe said the sale wraps up its pre-development role on the project, which covered site selection, government approvals and the campus power strategy. Google will now build the facility with Tallgrass Energy, Black Hills Energy, American Electric Power and Related Digital.
