JPMorgan Chase is running into trouble finding investors interested in servicing billions in debt backing two of the first five Stargate data centers, according to new reporting from Business Insider. (Stargate is Trump’s $500 billion AI project led by Oracle and OpenAI that allegedly intends to “secure American leadership in AI.”)
But if JPMorgan — which led financial lenders through a $38 billion Stargate debt raise — is already struggling to sell the vision, that all might be easier said than done. Per BI, a person familiar with both data centers said they’re fully financed, though noted that banks and other investors are growing jittery about pouring even more money into the megaproject.
“We are hearing from market participants that in some cases, there may be banks that could be approaching the exposure levels they’re comfortable with when it comes to certain data center projects,” S&P Global Infrastructure Ratings director Dhaval Shah told BI.

He probably realized the bubble will pop and all that money will just end up as more government waste
