Microsoft in January this yearAnnounceThe company will spend $2025 billion to build a data center before the end of fiscal year 800 to promote the training and deployment of artificial intelligence models, but sources pointed out that the plan has been delayed and even slowed down in scale.
Related statements indicateMicrosoft has currently postponed data center construction plans in Indonesia, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the United States in Illinois, North Dakota and Wisconsin. Some of the construction plans may have been canceled or postponed.
However, Microsoft responded that it still plans to end its planned $2025 billion data center construction spending budget by fiscal year 800.
The reason for the delay in this plan may be related to the new tariff policy recently proposed by the Trump administration. As a result, the costs involved in Microsoft's large-scale infrastructure construction projects have increased. This may cause Microsoft to readjust its data center construction plans and cancel some of the originally planned data centers.
On the other hand, Microsoft's adjustment of data center construction may also be related to the current demand for artificial intelligence applications. As fine-tuning optimization models such as DeepSeek have attracted greater attention in the market, it has recently readjusted its data center construction plan.
