Overview
Stargate is the joint venture announced January 21, 2025 to build out AI-training data center capacity in the United States, with OpenAI and SoftBank each holding roughly 40% of the equity and Oracle and Abu Dhabi's MGX rounding out the founding partners. It was unveiled at the White House with President Trump alongside Sam Altman, Larry Ellison, and Masayoshi Son, who chairs the venture; Altman holds operational responsibility while SoftBank carries the financing lead.
The partners have publicly committed $100 billion of initial capital and set a headline target of $500 billion by 2029. Its flagship campus is in Abilene, Texas, a ten-building complex developed alongside Crusoe and leased to Oracle for OpenAI workloads. In September 2025 the venture named five additional US sites (in Shackelford County TX, Doña Ana County NM, Lordstown OH, Milam County TX, and an undisclosed Midwest location); planned total capacity has been described as approaching 7 GW and pointed toward 10 GW.
Stargate has since extended internationally, with announced or explored builds in the UAE, United Kingdom, Norway, and Japan, and a roughly $25 billion, 500 MW Patagonia project in Argentina disclosed in October 2025. The venture is effectively OpenAI's dedicated compute-supply arm: Oracle is the anchor tenant on the completed capacity, Nvidia is the disclosed silicon partner, and no third-party hyperscaler tenants have been named.
