The initial portfolio includes five operating data centers plus four land sites with access to power for data center development. Digital Realty expects to contribute a share of the assets to the Fund in the second quarter and will serve as general partner, maintaining operational and management responsibilities for the assets. The disposition of a portion of our interest in the data centers met the criteria under ASC 360 for the assets to qualify as held for sale and contribution. However, the operations are not classified as discontinued operations as a result of our continuing interest in the Fund. These data centers were not representative of a significant component of our portfolio, nor will the contribution represent a significant shift in our strategy.

Current wording

During the first half of 2025, the Company launched its first U.S. Hyperscale Data Center Fund (the “Fund”), successfully raising more than $3 billion of equity commitments to date. Fund commitments represent a 40% to 80% ownership interest in each individual asset, while the Company will maintain the remaining 20% to 60% stake in the assets and less than a 2% direct interest in the Fund. The initial portfolio includes five operating data centers plus three land sites with access to power for data center development. In May 2025, we received approximately $937 million of gross proceeds from the contribution of operating data centers and development projects to the Fund, recognized a gain on disposition of approximately $873 million, and recognized an investment in the assets of $661 million. The Company will serve as general partner, maintaining operational and management responsibilities for the assets, however, certain governance rights are granted to the limited partners. As such, we concluded we do not own a controlling interest and account for our interest in the assets under the equity method of accounting. These real estate assets were previously classified as held for sale and contribution. Additionally, as of June 30, 2025, one additional development project was classified within Assets held for sale and contribution on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as it is probable it will be contributed to the fund within one year. The disposition of a portion of our interest in the remaining development project met the criteria under ASC 360 for the assets to qualify as held for sale and contribution. However, the operations are not classified as discontinued operations as a result of our continuing interest in the assets. This development project was not representative of a significant component of our portfolio, nor will the contribution represent a significant shift in our strategy.
