LONDON and AMSTERDAM, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Euronext Amsterdam-listed SWI Group ("SWI"; SWICH) today announced the acquisition of a significant shareholding in Genesis Digital Assets Limited ("GDA"), one of the largest privately held digital infrastructure platforms, with operations primarily in the USA, for an aggregate consideration of $500 million USD.
GDA holds 1.3 GW of energized and approved grid connections. The platform comprises 15 facilities, including multiple hyperscaler-grade sites in Texas.
SWI Group intends to reposition the platform from its current digital asset mining operations to high-performance computing and artificial intelligence workloads, leveraging the Group's operating expertise in AI-ready infrastructure through its AiOnX European data center platform.
Combined with AiOnX's 2.3 GW European platform across Ireland, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Spain, and Italy, the acquisition gives SWI Group a combined transatlantic footprint of 3.6 GW of AI-ready digital infrastructure capacity – among the largest in single-firm hands globally.
Upon completion, the Group will hold approximately 77.2% by value of the $1.124 billion USD liquidation preference attaching to GDA's preferred share classes, and approximately 38.3% of the total shareholding.
"Power connectivity is the most valuable commodity in digital infrastructure today, and converting legacy cryptocurrency mining infrastructure to AI and high-performance computing is the best and highest use of these assets," said Max-Hervé George, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of SWI Group. "We have been investing in power-connectivity since 2020. This is what that thesis looks like at scale."
