Crusoe cancels $1.25B Boom turbine deal
The collapse of Crusoe’s $1.25 billion order for Boom Supersonic’s stationary turbines exposes the fragility of AI infrastructure financing. While Crusoe raised $3.9 billion, it pivoted away from on-site gas generation, opting instead for grid power and diverse energy mixes. This signals that even well-funded data center operators are prioritizing flexibility over massive, long-term capital commitments to specialized hardware. Boom’s pivot to sell jet engines as power plants was a bold bet on AI energy needs, but losing its anchor customer suggests the market is more cautious than anticipated.
