SWI Group, listed on Euronext Amsterdam under the ticker SWICH (ISIN: SGXPZ11CH7U7), has announced a binding agreement to acquire an additional shareholding in Genesis Digital Assets Limited (GDA), one of the largest privately-held digital infrastructure companies operating primarily in the United States. The acquisition will increase SWI Group's shareholding to a majority position. Additionally, SWI Group has agreed to acquire a majority stake in Polarise, an AI digital infrastructure provider specializing in high-performance computing (HPC) capacities through its hardware and software offerings. Together, these acquisitions will expand the Group's combined global capacity to over 3.6 GW.

GDA holds land with over 1.3 GW of energized and approved grid connections across 15 facilities, including multiple hyperscaler-grade sites in Texas. SWI Group will work closely with management to reposition GDA's assets for high-performance computing and AI workloads. SWI Group's existing digital infrastructure investments include AiOnX, a 2.3 GW European data center platform developing five strategically located hyperscale projects in Ireland, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Spain, and Italy, which is partially leased to one of the largest hyperscalers.

Polarise, an official NVIDIA Cloud Service Provider, has recently launched the first industrial-scale AI Factory in Germany in partnership with Deutsche Telekom and NVIDIA. As a leading European AI infrastructure platform, Polarise delivers high-performance computing at scale through purpose-built AI data centers, advanced software capabilities, and deep operational expertise. The company enables enterprise and sovereign customers to deploy mission-critical AI workloads with high performance, security, and reliability across the continent.

According to Max-Hervé George, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of SWI Group, "The acquisition of a majority shareholding in GDA will significantly expand SWI Group's digital infrastructure footprint to include the USA, the largest and fastest-growing market for AI and HPC data centers. By aggregating these European and US platforms, the Group is creating a leading global digital infrastructure player offering full, vertically integrated cloud and AI computing capacity across the 5 layers of AI: land, chips, infrastructure, models and applications." SWI Group currently has approximately €10 billion of assets under management and employs over 280 people across 26 offices worldwide.
