Microsoft "minor contract" loss, says Nscale key investor
Nscale, a UK-based AI data centre operator, is gearing up for a planned $35 billion IPO. Its largest investor, Aker ASA (23% stake), characterized Microsoft's withdrawal from a UK data centre compute lease deal as a 'minor contract' relative to the company's expanded portfolio. Nscale has more than doubled its activity and contract base since its Series C round. The neocloud sector, which leases GPU-heavy infrastructure to AI firms like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Meta, faces scrutiny about financial sustainability.
