Volta Infra raises $300M at $2.4B valuation with Nvidia, Dell backing

Nvidia sits on both sides of the deal, investing in a startup that will spend billions buying its own chips.

• Volta Infra Holdings raised $300 million across a seed round and Series A co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and Altimeter Capital, valuing the company at $2.4 billion, with Nvidia and Michael Dell also participating.
• Founded in early 2026 by former Brookfield infrastructure executives Ricard Boada and Sofia Gumuzio, Volta finances, develops and operates AI data centers as an infrastructure asset rather than just leasing compute.
• Volta also launched a $5 billion AI infrastructure financing program with asset manager Azora, arranging capital from banks to help customers afford costly Nvidia chips.
• Volta signed a $10 billion, six-year cloud contract reportedly with Anthropic, to be delivered via a 133-megawatt data center in Norway run by Bitcoin miner Bitdeer using Nvidia's Vera Rubin chips.
• Volta says it has already secured a gigawatt of near-term power capacity across planned sites in Norway, Texas and Wyoming, part of a broader wave of bitcoin miners repurposing power and land for AI compute.
• Bitdeer's stock jumped 14% after the Anthropic compute deal was announced, underscoring how crypto-mining infrastructure has become a proxy investment in the AI buildout.
• Volta's structure, where Nvidia funds a startup that then buys Nvidia chips to serve an AI lab locking in compute, illustrates the circular financing propping up the AI infrastructure boom.
