Google signs $920M monthly compute deal with SpaceX — company’s projected annual data center revenue to exceed its combined proceeds from Starlink, launch services, and AI in 2025

Google's $920-million-a-month deal with SpaceX will let it secure 110,000 Nvidia GPUs starting October 2026. This is the second data center deal that SpaceX has secured in a matter of weeks, especially as it's quickly approaching its IPO on June 12, 2026.

Why this matters
Why now

The accelerating demand for AI compute capacity is driving unprecedented infrastructure deals, with companies like Google securing future supply to support their AI ambitions.

Why it’s important

This massive compute deal highlights the intensifying battle for GPU resources and indicates a significant shift in revenue streams for companies with vast infrastructure assets.

What changes
