Samsung commits $1 billion to KKR’s Helix digital infrastructure unit
The new funding adds to Helix’s initial backers, with total capital committed to the strategy exceeding $10 billion at launch.
Helix Digital Infrastructure and KKR said Samsung has committed $1 billion to Helix, an AI infrastructure company formed by KKR last June, to help meet the infrastructure needs of hyperscalers.
ConnectCRE reports the investment is being made through Helix’s long-duration capital fund, with Samsung’s commitment building on more than $10 billion of capital that was committed to the Helix strategy at launch by founding investors including KKR, the Kuwait Investment Authority, NVIDIA and Vistra.
The companies said the additional long-duration capital is intended to support Helix’s plan to invest in and deliver data centers, power, connectivity and related infrastructure required to support growing AI demand.
ConnectCRE also noted that Samsung’s commitment was described as a vote of confidence, without adding further details on any project timelines.
