KKR, Kuwait Investment Authority and Vistra have unveiled Helix Digital Infrastructure, a new AI‑focused investment vehicle. The trio has raised over $10 billion to fund next‑generation data centers and AI hardware. Helix will manage and grow facilities that power machine‑learning workloads across the globe for enterprises.

NVIDIA will serve as a strategic partner, supplying its DSX AI factory infrastructure to Helix sites. Vistra, a U.S. power firm, will be the preferred energy supplier, ensuring carbon‑efficient operations. Adam Selipsky, former AWS chief, leads the venture, while Waldemar Szlezak, KKR’s digital‑infra head, will head investments.

Helix targets data centers that combine NVIDIA’s software stack with Vistra’s renewable grid, aiming for high density and low carbon footprints. The partnership positions the firm to capture growing demand for AI‑infrastructure as enterprises shift workloads to the cloud. Investors eye the deal for its scale and the backing of industry giants.

With more than $10 billion in capital, Helix is poised to accelerate AI deployment in North America and beyond. The firm’s structure—combining NVIDIA’s platform, Vistra’s power and KKR’s capital—creates a compelling value chain for data‑center operators. Stakeholders will monitor how the model scales as AI adoption expands.
