SoftBank Group to Acquire DigitalBridge for $4 Billion to Scale Next-Gen AI Infrastructure

On Monday, SoftBank Group will acquire DigitalBridge Group in a deal valued at US$4-billion, though both companies declined to comment, Bloomberg reported.
To deepen its AI exposure, SoftBank has ramped up investments while DigitalBridge focuses on digital infrastructure including Vantage Data Centers, Zayo, Switch and AtlasEdge.
Shares of DigitalBridge surged as much as 50% in premarket trade and were last seen 40.5% higher at 4:35 a.m. ET, while the $16 per share offer values the firm at US$2.92-billion with a 15-per-cent premium.
Marc Ganzi will stay on to lead DigitalBridge as a separately managed platform managing around US$108-billion in assets, expanding SoftBank's exposure to AI-focused digital infrastructure.
Masayoshi Son has been publicly pitching AI, and SoftBank participates in the Stargate project with OpenAI and Oracle, planning five new computing sites across Texas, New Mexico and Ohio.
