Bloomberg reports that five tech giants—Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon and Oracle—hold more than $3 trillion in total future data center commitments, of which $1.3 trillion is leases and the remaining roughly $1.9 trillion is other purchase commitments. The report shows that Alphabet alone accounts for more than $1 trillion, nearly 8 times the total from a year earlier, covering technology equipment, energy and leases; Meta ranks second with $810 billion, nearly half of which is data center leases that have not yet broken ground and have terms of up to 30 years. The report also notes that Oracle has already posted negative free cash flow due to its investment in AI data centers.
