SoftBank is reportedly in talks to acquire the data center investment company DigitalBridge.

According to informed sources, SoftBank Group is in talks to acquire the private equity firm DigitalBridge Group Inc., which invests in assets such as data centers. SoftBank is seeking to capitalize on the AI-driven boom in the digital infrastructure sector. Informed sources revealed that SoftBank is in discussions to potentially acquire and privatize the New York-listed DigitalBridge. DigitalBridge's stock price has already dropped by 13% this year, with the company currently valued at around $1.8 billion. SoftBank's billionaire founder, Masayoshi Son, is attempting to seize the surging demand for computing power required for AI applications. Sources indicated that the deal could be reached as soon as the next few weeks, but negotiations are still ongoing and there is no guarantee that an agreement will be reached.
