Digital Edge, the Asia-Pacific data centre operator backed by Stonepeak Partners, is exploring strategic options including a potential partial or full sale that could value the business at up to $10bn, according to a report by Bloomberg citing unnamed people familiar with the matter.
The Singapore-headquartered company is working with JPMorgan Chase & Co. to assess alternatives, although discussions remain at an early stage and no final decision has been made. Sources noted that the company could ultimately decide not to proceed with a transaction.
Digital Edge has attracted interest from infrastructure investors and industry participants amid strong demand for digital infrastructure assets. Leasing activity has accelerated in recent years, particularly from US hyperscale cloud providers, reflecting broader growth in AI-related computing requirements.
Founded in 2020, the company operates data centre and fibre infrastructure across Asia-Pacific markets including China, India and Japan, and currently has around 1.8 gigawatts of secured IT power capacity. It has also been investing heavily in expansion, including plans to deploy approximately $4.5bn toward a major data centre campus in Indonesia.
Last year, the group raised more than $1.6bn in combined equity and debt financing to support its growth strategy.
The review comes amid a broader wave of consolidation and M&A activity in the data centre sector, as private capital continues to target infrastructure assets benefiting from long-term demand growth tied to artificial intelligence and cloud computing.
