Meta to spend $600 billion on US data centres by 2028
Zuckerberg says Meta will deploy over one million GPUs to train advanced AI models.
Meta has plans to spend at least $600 billion on US data centres and AI infrastructure by 2028. The forecast, reported by The Information, was shared by CEO Mark Zuckerberg during a dinner with President Donald Trump and other technology leaders.
Capital expenditure is set to rise sharply over the next three years. Meta projects spending of $66–72 billion in 2025, nearly 70% higher than 2024, with another significant increase expected in 2026.
The company said the surge in investment will be driven primarily by the need to expand AI computing power.
Zuckerberg confirmed that Meta aims to deploy more than one million GPUs to train its next generation of AI models.
The company is also investing heavily in talent and infrastructure as it builds a dedicated team focused on developing artificial super intelligence, a concept referring to AI systems with capabilities beyond those of humans.
The spending commitment highlights how major US technology companies are racing to secure computing capacity for AI. Meta is pledging ‘hundreds of billions of dollars’ towards expanding its data centre footprint in the years ahead.
