Facebook owner Meta Platforms will invest at least $600 billion in infrastructure and job creation in the United States over the next three years, according to the company's blog. The money will be used, among other things, to build data centers for artificial intelligence.

Meta has set aside hundreds of billions of dollars to build several large data centers and intends to increase that spending to meet its growing computing needs. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said at the White House in September that Meta plans to invest "at least $600 billion" in the U.S. over the next few years, Reuters recalls.

In a recent investor call, Zuckerberg emphasized: "We're ramping up computing capacity because we think it's the right thing to do to aggressively pre-pack infrastructure capacity to be ready for the most optimistic scenarios."

Meta has previously warned that its capital expenditure in 2026 will be "markedly higher" compared to 2025. This is primarily due to investments in AI and accelerated construction of data centers, Reuters notes.

In September, Meta closed its largest infrastructure financing deal to date: it received $27 billion from Blue Owl Capital to build an ultra-large data center in Richland County, Louisiana. In October, the company also announced the launch of a new $1.5 billion data center project in Texas, which will be the 29th site of this type in Meta's portfolio.
