DayOne Data Centers has announced the completion of more than US$2.0 billion in Series C equity financing, marking one of the largest private funding rounds ever recorded in the global data center sector. Headquartered in Singapore, the independent hyperscale data center platform continues to position itself at the center of rising demand for cloud and artificial intelligence infrastructure. The financing highlights strong investor confidence in DayOne’s international growth strategy and execution capabilities.


A Landmark Series C Financing

The Series C round was led by existing global investor Coatue, with participation from several prominent institutional backers. Among them is the Indonesia Investment Authority, the country’s sovereign wealth fund, underscoring DayOne’s appeal to long-term strategic investors. The transaction significantly expands the company’s capital base and reinforces its standing within the hyperscale infrastructure market.

Broadening the Global Shareholder Base

DayOne attracted a geographically diverse group of investors from the United States, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. This broad participation aligns with the company’s ambition to scale across multiple international markets simultaneously. Management noted that the diversified shareholder base enhances DayOne’s ability to pursue large, capital-intensive developments worldwide.

Valuation and Prior Capital Raising

The Series C round was priced at a 100 percent premium to the company’s previous equity financing. It builds on the US$1.9 billion raised through Series A and Series B rounds completed in 2024. In addition, DayOne secured up to €1 billion in mezzanine debt financing in 2025 from Brookfield and a sovereign investor, further strengthening its balance sheet.

Accelerating Expansion in Europe

In Europe, the new capital will support the advancement of DayOne’s Finland platform. The company is developing major hyperscale campuses in Lahti and Kouvola, which are central to its broader European strategy. These sites are expected to play a key role in meeting rising regional demand for large-scale, energy-efficient data center capacity.

Scaling Across Asia-Pacific Markets

The financing will also accelerate growth across Asia-Pacific, particularly in the SIJORI region encompassing Singapore, Johor, and Batam. DayOne plans to continue expanding in additional markets including Thailand, Japan, and Hong Kong. This regional focus is designed to enable rapid delivery of high-density, AI-ready capacity close to major technology hubs.

Customer Commitments and Growth Trajectory

These investments will reinforce DayOne’s ability to deliver against approximately 1GW of secured customer commitments. The company is currently experiencing one of the fastest growth trajectories among next-generation hyperscale infrastructure platforms. Executives highlighted that this pipeline reflects strong demand from global technology leaders.

Leadership and Investor Perspectives

Chief Executive Officer Jamie Khoo said the financing reflects deep confidence in DayOne’s platform quality and long-term outlook. Coatue’s Robert Yin noted that the company has exceeded expectations in scaling hyperscale infrastructure across Asia-Pacific and Europe. INA Chief Executive Ridha Wirakusumah emphasized that the investment deepens a partnership rooted in the belief that digital infrastructure underpins long-term economic competitiveness.


DayOne’s platform is designed to address the evolving needs of next-generation compute through high-density designs, liquid cooling, and renewable energy pathways. Its use of prefabricated deployment models and close cooperation with utilities and governments supports rapid, resilient expansion. With the Series C financing in place, DayOne is positioned to strengthen its role as a leading hyperscale data center platform serving global cloud and AI demand.
