Samsung plans to invest $1 billion in KKR-backed AI infrastructure company Helix.

BlockBeats news, September 29 — According to Bloomberg, several companies under Samsung Group have agreed to invest a total of $1 billion in U.S. AI infrastructure company Helix Digital Infrastructure, further expanding Samsung's footprint in the AI infrastructure market. The investment will give Samsung a partial equity stake in Helix and cover multiple areas where Samsung already operates, including semiconductors, construction, data centers, cloud computing, and finance.

Helix was founded in June this year by KKR together with the Kuwait Investment Authority, Nvidia, and U.S. power producer Vistra, and has secured more than $10 billion in long-term committed capital. The company is led by Adam Selipsky, former CEO of Amazon Web Services, with Nvidia serving as a strategic partner and Vistra as its preferred power partner.

Helix is positioned not merely as a data center developer, but as an integrator of computing, power, and other infrastructure to accelerate the deployment of large-scale AI computing facilities. The investment will also enable Samsung to create synergies between its capabilities in chips, construction, cloud services, batteries, and finance and Helix's AI infrastructure business.
