Menlo Park, California — November 11, 2025: Meta Platforms has unveiled plans to invest $600 billion across the United States over the coming years, marking one of the largest capital commitments ever made by a technology company. The multi-year program will focus on building hyperscale data centers to power Meta’s next generation of artificial intelligence systems, virtual platforms, and immersive technologies.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company is “front-loading compute capacity to prepare for the most optimistic cases in AI development,” underscoring Meta’s long-term commitment to staying at the forefront of global AI innovation.
The initiative includes major projects across several U.S. states, such as a $27 billion financing deal with Blue Owl Capital for a new Louisiana data center and a $1.5 billion facility in Texas, as Meta races to scale its compute infrastructure. The investment will significantly boost U.S. capabilities in AI computation, cloud services, and digital innovation.
“Artificial intelligence is reshaping the world’s digital infrastructure, and Meta’s unprecedented investment positions the U.S. at the forefront of that transformation,” a company spokesperson said.
Industry analysts suggest the plan will generate substantial economic benefits, including job creation, increased semiconductor demand, and expanded renewable energy projects to power the data centers. However, it also highlights growing concerns about energy consumption, environmental impact, and regional resource management associated with large-scale computing operations.
Meta emphasized its commitment to sustainability, announcing that all new facilities will integrate renewable energy partnerships and advanced cooling technologies to reduce carbon footprint and improve efficiency.
As the global AI arms race accelerates, Meta’s $600 billion initiative represents not only a technological expansion but also a defining moment in the infrastructure-driven competition for AI dominance.
