Upper90 Capital Management (an asset-backed private credit firm) announced the closing of an approximately $225 million credit facility for Crusoe, the industry’s first vertically integrated AI infrastructure provider. This investment will support the expansion of Crusoe Cloud, the company’s scalable cloud platform purpose-built for enterprise AI workloads.
The financing, led by Upper90 and syndicated with institutional partners including British Columbia Investment Management Corporation, FS Investments, King Street Capital Management, Liberty Mutual Investments, and ORIX USA, will be used exclusively to purchase NVIDIA GPUs and supporting cloud infrastructure. This latest funding round builds on Crusoe’s momentum following its $600 million Series D funding announced in December.
Upper90 is one of Crusoe’s earliest capital partners, offering Crusoe an initial equipment loan in 2019. And since then, Upper90 has supported Crusoe through its various stages of growth including providing Crusoe its first GPU debt facility in 2023.
