OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle Supercharge Stargate Network with 5 Revolutionary AI Data Centers

Tech titans launch AI infrastructure blitz on blockchain network.

The Power Play

OpenAI, SoftBank and Oracle just dropped a blockchain bombshell—deploying five cutting-edge AI data centers across the Stargate Network. This isn't just another partnership—it's a full-scale infrastructure invasion that could reshape how AI interacts with decentralized systems.

Why It Matters

These five facilities represent the largest coordinated AI deployment on a blockchain network to date. We're talking about enterprise-grade computing power meeting Web3 architecture—a combination that could finally deliver on blockchain's scalability promises while giving AI models the distributed backbone they desperately need.

The Cynical Take

Wall Street analysts are already calling this 'another tech sector cash burn'—but when has that ever stopped real innovation? The traditional finance crowd still thinks AI belongs in centralized server farms, completely missing the point that decentralization might actually make AI more accessible and less controlled by a handful of corporations.

Bottom Line: This move signals that major players are betting big on blockchain as the next frontier for AI infrastructure—and they're putting real resources behind that belief.

For context, the Stargate project was launched earlier this year under President Donald Trump. It aims to make the U.S. a global AI leader by building a nationwide infrastructure for advanced AI research and development.

More Details About the Expansion

Under this expansion, the three new sites are planned in Shackelford County, Texas; Doña Ana County, New Mexico; and a yet-to-be-named Midwest location. Along with this, two more data center sites will be built in Lordstown, Ohio, and Milam County, Texas. Notably, the five new sites were selected after a thorough nationwide search that began in January, during which OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank evaluated over 300 proposals from more than 30 states.

Altogether, these projects are expected to create more than 25,000 onsite jobs and tens of thousands of related jobs across the U.S. The partners are still reviewing other potential locations. This progress puts the companies on track to reach the full $500 billion, 10-gigawatt goal announced in January by the end of 2025, earlier than planned.

This expansion comes after OpenAI and Oracle agreed in July to add up to 4.5 gigawatts of Stargate capacity.

Is ORCL Stock a Buy?

Overall, Wall Street has a Moderate Buy consensus rating on ORCL stock, based on 25 Buys and Nine Holds assigned in the last three months. The average Oracle stock price target of $343.07 implies about 9.32% upside from current levels.
