Meta plans to invest $60-65 billion in artificial intelligence and data centers in 2025. This was announced by the company's CEO Mark Zuckerberg on social media. This amount is significantly higher compared to the $35-40 billion spent in 2024.
Part of the investment will be directed towards data centers. Meta also aims to acquire 1.3 million GPUs and expand its AI team significantly in 2025. The company is already one of Nvidia’s largest clients. Zuckerberg expects 2025 to be a "defining" year for AI, with Meta’s AI reaching over 1 billion users.
Microsoft plans to invest around $80 billion in data centers in the 2025 fiscal year. ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, will invest over $12 billion in AI infrastructure. In January 2025, OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank launched a company called Stargate to build data centers in the U.S., with an initial investment of $100 billion and plans to invest up to $500 billion over the next four years.
It is worth noting that Meta is recognized as an extremist organization in Russia and is banned from operating in the country.
