Crusoe
Cloud ProviderLegal name: Crusoe Energy Systems LLC · HQ: US · Private · Founded 2018
AI data center developer and GPU cloud provider. Built the Stargate campus in Abilene, Texas, leased to Oracle for OpenAI, and is building capacity for Microsoft and Meta. Electricity at campuses handed over to tenants is counted in the tenants' emissions, not Crusoe's.
