Firmus and Nvidia confirm a 360MW AI factory in Batam with 170,000 GPUs and $25–30B in committed offtake

A former Bitcoin miner now valued at $5.5B, Firmus Technologies is building a 360MW Nvidia DSX AI campus in Batam with 170,000 GPU accelerators and $25–30B in committed offtake over six years, launching Q1 2027. The deal positions Batam — an island adjacent to Singapore — as a regional GPU hub, and extends Nvidia's DSX revenue-sharing model into Southeast Asia's fast-accelerating data centre market.

Why this matters

  • → 170,000 GPUs deployed in Southeast Asia accelerates regional AI infrastructure race.
  • → Revenue-sharing model extends Nvidia's DSX into Indonesia, bypassing upfront capex barriers.
  • → Batam becomes viable GPU hub competing with Singapore for data centre density.
