In September, Google walked away from a $1 billion data center outside Indianapolis, pulling its Franklin Township proposal minutes before the city-county council was set to vote it down.
It wasn't an isolated incident. Communities across the United States have now blocked or delayed more than $130 billion in AI data centers in the first three months of 2026, refusing projects the industry's biggest names **** umed they could build anywhere.
This is the problem Bitzero (Nasdaq: AIBZ) spent the last four years quietly engineering its way around. The company now controls more than a gigawatt of low-cost, clean power capacity across Norway and Finland,, permitted before the backlash started and welcomed by the communities around it.
In May, the company signed a binding letter for a 15-year lease worth roughly $2.6 billion, and on June 9 it began trading on the Nasdaq.
The AI capital being rejected at home has to go somewhere it's allowed to build, and Bitzero has keyed in on the short list where there's cheap, abundant power to drive AI's next wave.
