AI Infrastructure Partnership
BlackRock/GIP + Microsoft + Nvidia + MGX fund for AI datacenters & power
The AI Infrastructure Partnership (AIP) is a consortium led by BlackRock's Global Infrastructure Partners with Microsoft, Nvidia, MGX, and later xAI/others, targeting $30B+ initial equity and up to $100B total for data centers and enabling power. It represents the institutional-finance channel — pension/insurance-scale capital — flowing into the physical AI buildout alongside hyperscaler and sovereign money. AIP's 2025 acquisition of data-center operator Aligned exemplifies its infrastructure focus.
