Why it matters
The strategic read
Puts a named Meta counterparty on part of Crusoe's previously disclosed 4.9 GW contracted AI infrastructure platform. If confirmed, the deal would make Crusoe a second major external Meta AI-capacity vendor beside CoreWeave and Nebius, while turning Childress and Warrenton into live examples of the new hyperscaler pattern: buying gigawatt-scale third-party AI campuses faster than owned data centers can absorb demand.

What was disclosed
- 01
DCD, citing Bloomberg, reported on June 19, 2026 that Meta signed contracts to buy capacity from Crusoe data centers in Childress, Texas and Warrenton, Missouri.

The two sites reportedly total about 1.6 GW of AI computing capacity.
- 03
DCD reported that the value of the agreement has not been shared.

Crusoe announced on June 9, 2026 that it had contracted 4.9 GW of AI infrastructure across data-center projects and Crusoe Cloud.

Crusoe said the 4.9 GW contracted footprint spans five U.S. AI data-center campuses, including its 1.2 GW Abilene campus for Oracle, a second 900 MW Abilene campus for Microsoft, two additional large-scale Texas campuses and a fifth Missouri campus.
- 07
DCD identified the reported Meta sites as Childress, Texas and Warrenton, Missouri, matching the type of additional Texas / Missouri campuses that Crusoe had described without naming all customers.

DCD noted Lancium lists a Childress project with a 1 GW ERCOT-approved interconnect.

The reported Meta agreement sits beside Meta's existing external AI-capacity agreements with CoreWeave and Nebius, plus Meta-owned gigawatt campus and power-procurement lanes already represented in the Deal Room.
