What AIB Data Centers does

AIB Data Centers Inc. (NYSE American: AIB) develops and operates AI-focused data center infrastructure for high-performance computing workloads, employing a power-first strategy in which large-scale energy capacity is secured in strategic U.S. markets before deploying modular, AI-optimized facilities. The company targets three primary use-case segments — AI neoclouds, enterprise AI workloads, and high-performance computing operators — through direct enterprise sales executed by a hyperscale-experienced team. Its portfolio spans six sites totaling approximately 570 MW of combined capacity, though only 65 MW (Charlotte, CLT) is currently energized; the remaining pipeline includes interconnection-in-progress at Minneapolis, development at Dallas, Denver, and Huntsville, and a planned CLT-02 expansion.

The platform centers on a proprietary modular construction methodology that compresses traditional 18-month build cycles to 10-12 months, supported by locked-in supply chain partnerships for transformers, switchgear, and cooling systems. Core technology includes direct grid integration designed for stable large-scale load profiles, high-density racks engineered for GPU clusters, liquid-cooling systems, and an owner-agnostic hosting model that allows customers to deploy and upgrade their own servers, GPUs, and models. AIB was formed in March 2026 through the business combination of BlockchAIn Digital Infrastructure and Signing Day Sports, Inc. (formerly NASDAQ: SGN), with the combined entity trading on NYSE American under ticker AIB from March 17, 2026, and subsequently rebranded to AIB Data Centers with the NYSE Opening Bell ceremony on July 10, 2026.

Revenue is generated through long-term hosting contracts and build-to-suit leases for AI and high-performance computing infrastructure, with multi-year agreements carrying total contract values in the hundreds of millions per facility. The legacy 40 MW South Carolina data center produced approximately $22.9 million in revenue and $5.7 million in net income in 2024, representing the core historical asset of BlockchAIn LLC prior to the business combination. Forward contracted pipeline includes a non-binding LOI with a global cloud infrastructure provider for a 20 MW Charlotte AI facility (initial contract value exceeding $400 million over a 10-year lease, potential aggregate value of approximately $1.2 billion including two seven-year renewal options) and a non-binding LOI with an international PE firm for a 5 MW build-to-suit (over $100 million initial TCV, potential aggregate TCV of approximately $300 million including renewals). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated on a per-MW basis with multi-year enterprise terms.

Direct peers

• Lambda: AI cloud and GPU infrastructure provider that operates its own data centers for AI training and inference workloads. Comparable to AIB in serving AI-focused customers with purpose-built, high-density compute infrastructure.
• Nebius: AI neocloud operator with a global data center footprint serving enterprise AI and HPC workloads. Directly comparable to AIB's target customer segment; AIB's COO (Eyal Rozen) was previously Head of Sales, EMEA at Nebius, signaling direct familiarity with this peer.
• CoreWeave: AI-focused cloud provider that builds and operates its own GPU-optimized data centers for AI workloads, targeting the same AI neocloud customer base as AIB. Both companies pursue purpose-built AI infrastructure with long-term contracts and similar go-to-market to enterprise AI customers.
• Crusoe: AI infrastructure company that pioneered pairing stranded/power-first sites with GPU compute for AI workloads. Closest direct peer to AIB on the power-first strategy and modular build approach for AI-optimized facilities.
• Applied Digital: Designs, builds, and operates data centers purpose-built for HPC and AI workloads, including liquid-cooled, high-density facilities. Targets the same AI neocloud and enterprise AI customer segment with a similar build-to-suit lease model.
• Compass Datacenters: Build-to-suit data center provider serving enterprise and hyperscale customers with prefabricated, modular facilities. Directly comparable to AIB's modular construction methodology and build-to-suit lease model for new AI capacity.

Emerging players

• EdgeConneX: Global data center operator with a growing AI-optimized hyperscale campus portfolio. Overlaps with AIB on AI-ready, high-density colocation and enterprise build-to-suit deals, particularly in secondary U.S. markets.
• Tract: Developer of powered shell data center campuses purpose-built for AI and HPC tenants, with a focus on speed-to-market and power-secured sites. Closely comparable to AIB's power-first, modular approach for AI-specific deployments.

Broad incumbents

• Digital Realty: Global data center REIT and operator with PlatformDIGITAL offering colocation and interconnection for AI workloads. Competes with AIB in long-term hosting leases but serves a broader enterprise and hyperscale mix rather than AI-only.
• Vantage Data Centers: Large-scale hyperscale and enterprise data center operator with a multi-region footprint including AI-ready facilities. Competes with AIB for large enterprise and hyperscale tenants but as a broader portfolio operator rather than an AI-specialist.
