Meta also said it anticipates “similarly significant” spending growth in 2026 as it scales computing power for artificial intelligence
In sum – what to know:
$600B U.S. infra spend by 2028 – Meta plans massive investment in data centers and AI infrastructure, with spending forecasts running through the next three years.
Capex growth accelerates sharply – 2025 spending is expected at $66–72B, up nearly 70% year-on-year, with 2026 flagged for another major increase.
AI capacity is the driver – Investments target compute power to support Meta’s large-scale GPU deployments and AI model training.
Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said the company expects to spend at least $600 billion on U.S. data centers and related infrastructure by 2028.
The estimate, reported by The Information, came during a recent dinner with U.S. President Donald Trump and technology executives. The figure aligns with Meta’s previous guidance, which projected capital expenditures of $66–72 billion for 2025 — up nearly 70% from 2024.
Meta also said it anticipates “similarly significant” spending growth in 2026 as it scales computing power for artificial intelligence.
The commitment underscores how leading U.S. tech firms are accelerating spending to secure AI capacity, with Meta already targeting the deployment of more than one million GPUs to support its next-generation AI models.
Meta plans to invest “hundreds of billions of dollars” in data center infrastructure to support its growing AI ambitions, Zuckerberg previously said.
The company is accelerating spending on talent and compute infrastructure as it builds a dedicated team in the field of artificial super intelligence.
Artificial super intelligence (ASI) is a hypothetical software-based artificial intelligence (AI) system with an intellectual scope beyond human intelligence. At the most fundamental level, superintelligent AI would have cutting-edge cognitive functions and highly developed thinking skills more advanced than any human.
