DayOne Secures Over US$2 Bln Financing In Major Data Centre Capital Raise

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 6 (Bernama) -- DayOne Data Centers Limited (DayOne), a Singapore-headquartered hyperscale data centre platform, has entered into definitive agreements for over US$2.0 billion in Series C equity financing, marking one of the largest private capital raises in the data centre sector. (US$1=RM4.06)

In a statement, DayOne said the financing round was led by existing global investor Coatue, with participation from additional leading institutions, including the Indonesia Investment Authority (INA), Indonesia’s sovereign wealth fund.

Its Chief Executive Officer, Jamie Khoo said the investment reflects strong confidence in the company’s platform quality and long-term growth trajectory amid accelerating global demand for cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure.

“This new capital further strengthens our ability to expand our European and Asia-Pacific platforms, execute against our secured development pipeline, and deliver high-performance, AI-ready capacity that supports the long-term needs of the world’s technology leaders,” said Khoo.

As an international platform, the Series C round attracted a broad base of global investors, further diversifying DayOne’s shareholder base and enhancing its ability to support expansion across multiple regions.

The proceeds will support the next phase of DayOne’s global expansion. In Europe, the financing is expected to advance development of the company’s Finland platform, anchored by major hyperscale campuses in Lahti and Kouvola, which underpin its broader European strategy.

In Asia-Pacific, the capital will be deployed to support continued scale-out across the Singapore–Johor–Riau Islands (SIJORI) region—comprising Singapore, Johor and Batam—as well as markets in Thailand, Japan and Hong Kong.

These investments will strengthen delivery across DayOne’s secured customer commitments of approximately one gigawatt (GW), positioning the company among the fastest-growing next-generation hyperscale infrastructure platforms globally.
