AI Investments Surge in the U.S. — Stargate Project Expands

At Rezny Wealth Management, we’ve long said that more investment would return to the U.S. economy rather than going overseas. The $500 billion Stargate project is a clear example — and it’s moving forward ahead of schedule.

This week, OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank revealed five new AI data center sites across the country. The locations include Shackelford County, Texas; Doña Ana County, New Mexico; Lordstown, Ohio; Milam County, Texas; and another Midwest site to be announced soon.

These massive facilities are critical to powering artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT, which require huge amounts of computing power. Since the project’s launch in January, over $400 billion has already been committed, with the full $500 billion expected by the end of this year. That funding will deliver 10 gigawatts of capacity — enough to keep up with the rapid rise in AI demand.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that ChatGPT usage has grown more than 10 times since last year. Meeting that kind of growth means building faster, cheaper, and more efficient centers. Texas has become a prime location, offering the land, energy, and business-friendly regulations needed to support these projects.

For investors, this is more than just a technology story — it’s a signal of where capital is flowing. At Rezny Wealth Management, we like AI investments because they represent innovation, long-term growth potential, and now, a commitment to building here at home.

As more sites are announced, the Stargate project will not only shape the future of AI but also strengthen America’s position as a leader in technology and infrastructure.
