BlockchAIn Digital Infrastructure has outlined plans for a US data center development pipeline totaling around 715MW. The New York-listed company detailed the strategy in an April 2026 investor presentation, highlighting current and proposed sites across South Carolina, Minnesota, and Texas, as well as additional markets under evaluation. According to the company, the pipeline spans nine sites and could require approximately $9.9 billion in capital expenditure over five years.
BlockchAIn said it currently operates a 40MW data center in South Carolina that is cash-flowing, with a further 25MW of upgrade capacity available. Of this, around 20MW is expected to transition to AI workloads. A separate 100MW site in Florence County is also planned, targeting AI GPU hosting from the second quarter of 2028. Texas represents the largest portion of the named pipeline. This includes a 20MW data mining site in Wise County, currently in due diligence and aiming for energization in the fourth quarter of 2026, as well as a 75MW AI GPU hosting project in Collin County, currently at the letter-of-intent stage with a target of the third quarter of 2027.
A further 200MW AI GPU hosting opportunity in Reeves County, Texas, is described as being in early development, with a target readiness of the third quarter of 2028. BlockchAIn said its strategy centers on securing power first, followed by the deployment of modular, liquid-cooled data center infrastructure designed to manage the heat generated by high-density, compute-intensive workloads. Customers would be expected to provide their own GPUs, servers, and AI model software.
