The venture will fund the construction and operation of the campus, which Meta says will provide the compute capacity needed to train and deploy next-generation AI models.
Meta Platforms (META) and BlackRock (BLK) have agreed to form a strategic venture to develop and own
Meta Platforms and the world's largest asset manager BlackRock on Tuesday announced a venture to develop and operate a data center campus in El Paso, Texas, a project that would cost about $14 billion in development. The race to build out AI infrastructure has prompted tech giants to turn to debt sales worth tens of billions of dollars or seek external capital from fund managers such as BlackRock due to an unprecedented scale of investment. Meta said BlackRock-managed funds will take an 80% ownership stake in the venture, with Meta retaining the remaining 20%.

Meta Platforms is slated to post its quarterly earnings after markets close Wednesday, with traders pricing in a sizable move from the social media giant’s stock.
Wall Street is headed for its busiest week of the earnings season and while earnings have been strong so far, one thing is clear: Good isn't good enough for tech companies. Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta are some of the 170 companies reporting earnings this week after Alphabet and Tesla set the stage last week. More than 130 S&P 500 companies have already reported earnings, with most beating earnings expectations, but whether those earnings beats translated into a move higher for the stocks was a more complicated story.
It's a big week for tech earnings, with Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Meta (META), and Microsoft (MSFT) all set to report quarterly results. Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Brooke DiPalma and Argent Capital Management portfolio manager Jed Ellerbroek discuss their expectations for the upcoming reports.
