SoftBank Group is reportedly looking to continue a spree to beef up its AI-related assets, with the Japanese investment company eyeing up an acquisition of US-based DigitalBridge.

Reuters reported the pair are holding talks to take DigitalBridge private in a deal that could be worked out by the end of the year.

The global investment company focuses on digital infrastructure, covering data centres, mobile towers, fibre networks and edge computing facilities, with $108 billion in assets under management as of end-September 2025.

Its data centre investments include Vantage Data Centre, with operations in the US and Europe, Malaysia-based AIMS Group and a US-based colocation and edge data centre provider DataBank.

Last month it signed an agreement with KT to develop next-generation AI data centres in South Korea.

SoftBank has been on an acquisition splurge this year, buying chip designers Ampere last month and UK-based Graphcore in July. It also forged a deal to invest $30 billion in OpenAI and is part of the Stargate venture with the AI company and Oracle.

In June, SoftBank chair and CEO Masayoshi Son laid out the ambitious goal of creating the largest artificial super intelligence platform within a decade.
