Firmus Technologies secured a $505M equity round led by Coatue with Nvidia participation, valuing the AI data‑center builder at $5.5B and complementing a $10B Blackstone debt facility. The capital will fuel its “AI factory” rollout in Tasmania, leveraging cheap hydro power and proprietary cooling to undercut US rivals. With a $2B AUD ASX IPO slated for 2026, Firmus could anchor Australia’s emergence as a low‑cost AI compute hub in the $800B APAC data‑center boom. #AIInfrastructure #DataCenters #AsiaPacific #TechFunding #ASXIPO
