Singapore-based DayOne Data Centers has upsized its senior secured syndicated term financing in Malaysia to approximately US$7.2 billion in total, and says its Billings have passed 1GW. The company also reported Bookings of about 2.3GW as of September 20, 2026.

Key points
  • DayOne upsized its Malaysia senior secured syndicated financing to approximately US$7.2 billion, arranged by a seven-lender consortium.
  • Billings surpassed 1GW, up from 121MW at the end of 2024, according to the company.
  • Bookings reached approximately 2.3GW from 15 customers as of September 20, 2026, with 1.1GW of additional Reservations.
  • Resources across ten markets reached 4.6GW, up from 2GW at the end of 2025.

Financing for the Johor platform

DayOne Data Centers Limited, a Singapore-headquartered digital infrastructure platform, said the multi-currency financing was arranged by a seven-lender consortium. The upsized facility supports the continued development of its data center platform in Johor, Malaysia. It builds on the approximately US$3.5 billion syndicated financing the company secured in May 2025.

According to the company, it has raised over US$6 billion in equity across several financing rounds since 2024. It has also obtained project financing from more than 30 local and global banking partners.

Billings, Bookings and Reservations

DayOne says 1GW of IT Power Capacity is now generating income under long-term customer contracts. The company defines Billings as the total IT Power Capacity committed by customers that is income-generating under legally binding contracts still in effect. Billings have grown more than eightfold in under two years, from 121MW at the end of 2024, according to DayOne.

Bookings, meaning capacity committed by customers under legally binding contracts, reached approximately 2.3GW as of September 20, 2026. That compares with 1.25GW at the end of 2025. DayOne also reported 1.1GW of Reservations from customers. The company notes that Reservations are not included in Bookings, Billings or Backlog, and that there is no assurance customers will exercise those rights and turn them into Bookings or revenue.

Customer base and resources

Bookings came from 15 customers, up from nine at the end of 2024. Four of the top five customers are with DayOne in multiple markets, and three hyperscale customers each have multi-market deployments of around or above 200MW. DayOne said it recently secured additional orders with one of its existing U.S. hyperscale customers.

Across its ten-market footprint, the company's Resources reached 4.6GW, up from 2GW at the end of 2025. Resources combine capacity in service, capacity under construction and secured powered land. DayOne says it acquires powered land and secures anchor customer commitments early in its development process.

What the company says and what it means

Chief Executive Officer Jamie Khoo said the confidence of banking partners and customers "underpins our continued growth." She added that the support has enabled DayOne "to unlock strategic capacity for the next generation of AI and cloud infrastructure."

DayOne was established in 2022 and operates in Singapore, Johor and Greater Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Tokyo and Kyushu in Japan, Hong Kong SAR, Finland and Spain. The figures are the company's own, but they show how quickly capacity under contract and the financing behind it have scaled for AI-ready data center campuses in Asia Pacific and Europe.
