BlackRock is raising at least $12 billion through a bond sale to help finance a new Meta data center campus in Texas, according to multiple reports. The financing is linked to a 1-gigawatt facility in El Paso, Texas, where BlackRock’s infrastructure and private-credit units hold an 80% ownership stake. JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley are reportedly arranging and pitching the debt offering to investors, with the sale described as at least $12 billion. The project is intended to support Meta’s expanding data center and AI infrastructure in the region. One outlet describes the structure as involving BlackRock owning the data center, lending to it, and renting space associated with the facility, though details of the exact terms are not fully specified in the coverage provided. Across the reports, the common elements are the size of the bond raising, the Texas/El Paso location, and the role of JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley in underwriting or arranging the financing, alongside BlackRock’s majority stake through related units.
