“The developers of large language models such as #OpenAI and #Anthropic are preparing for blockbuster initial public offerings later this year to benefit from investor optimism about their #growth.

Meanwhile, the hyperscalers #Microsoft, #Alphabet, #Amazon, #Meta and #Oracle plan to invest hundreds of billions in the next five years in data centres to provide the #computing power to run these models. And this is where the #maths of the #AIBoom becomes challenging.

For each of these #hyperscalers, I collected the consensus estimates of analysts for the capital #expenditures and revenues between 2025 and 2030.

In these five years, capital #investments are expected to rise by 20 per cent a year, a growth rate never seen before in this industry. Meanwhile, #revenues are expected to grow 15 per cent annually” — Joachim Klement

A #SovereignWealtFund is primarily built with government __revenues__ (e.g. from commodity exports) and/or __revenues__ from foreign exchange reserves.

Not built with private equity.

Not built with pension funds.

They are built with #revenues from national assets which have no pre-allocation.

This fund will apparently be built by borrowing $25 Billion, of which $18 billion will go into this.

Debt is not a previously known method for creating a SWF.
