According to people familiar with the matter, Blue Owl Capital is seeking to establish a data center real estate investment trust and promote its listing. As more and more companies enter the capital market to raise capital for artificial intelligence infrastructure construction, data center-related assets are becoming a new financing hotspot. A person familiar with the matter, who did not wish to be named due to undisclosed information, said the alternative asset management company expects to inject about US$6.5 billion of its own data center assets into the REIT as start-up assets. It is reported that Blue Owl plans to raise capital through an initial public offering and subsequent additional shares to acquire more data centers and expand its asset portfolio. Blue Owl currently owns a range of data center assets, and completed the fundraising of its latest digital infrastructure fund in May, receiving a $7 billion funding commitment. People familiar with the matter said that relevant discussions are still ongoing, and the details of REITs and IPOs may still change. At one point, Blue Owl's stock price rose 1.2% in response. The stock has accumulated a cumulative decline of nearly 21% since this year, and the company's market value exceeds 18 billion US dollars.
