Digital Edge, a rapidly growing data center operator in Asia backed by Stonepeak Partners, is weighing strategic options that could include a partial or full sale valuing the company at up to $10 billion, according to people familiar with the matter. The Singapore-based firm has enlisted JPMorgan Chase & Co. to conduct a review as it assesses potential next steps amid strong market demand.
The company has attracted increasing attention from infrastructure-focused investors and industry players, driven in part by a significant rise in leasing activity from major US hyperscalers over the past 18 months. This surge reflects the accelerating need for data storage and cloud infrastructure across the Asia-Pacific region, positioning Digital Edge as a highly attractive asset in a competitive market.
Sources indicated that discussions remain at an early stage, and no final decisions have been made. The company could ultimately choose not to pursue a transaction, underscoring the preliminary nature of the deliberations. Representatives for Digital Edge emphasized that the firm remains focused on executing its strategy and delivering services to customers across its markets, while both Stonepeak and JPMorgan declined to comment.
Founded in 2020, Digital Edge has expanded quickly, offering data center and fiber connectivity services across key markets including China, India, and Japan. The company currently holds 1.8 gigawatts of secured IT power capacity, highlighting the scale of its operations.
Its growth ambitions remain aggressive. Last year, Digital Edge raised more than $1.6 billion in equity and debt to fund expansion, and it is planning a $4.5 billion investment to develop one of Indonesia’s largest data center campuses. The outcome of its strategic review could mark a pivotal moment, not only for the company but also for the broader digital infrastructure sector in Asia.
