DECACORN
Firmus Technologies is an Australian AI-infrastructure company building 'AI factories' — large-scale, energy-efficient compute facilities to train and run AI models — across Australia and the wider Asia-Pacific region, including a development in Indonesia. On Aug 7, 2026 it raised $2B in fresh equity at a valuation above $10.5B, with follow-on investment from Nvidia and Coatue joined by Blackstone and Jane Street, roughly doubling its ~$5.5B April 2026 valuation. The raise follows a Blackstone-led $10B financing package tied to its Australian AI data-center plans announced earlier in 2026.
