KKR & Co. Inc. on Thursday launched Helix Digital Infrastructure, a new venture backed by over $10 billion in committed capital to finance and deliver essential AI infrastructure. The initiative aims to streamline the deployment of data centers, power, and connectivity for hyperscalers, marking a significant push into the rapidly growing AI market. The venture is supported by partnerships with the Kuwait Investment Authority, NVIDIA, and Vistra.

Leadership and Strategic Partnerships

Former Amazon Web Services CEO Adam Selipsky will lead the effort to drive Helix Digital Infrastructure's strategic direction. The partnerships with NVIDIA and Vistra are expected to provide critical technological and energy capabilities necessary for large-scale AI infrastructure projects.

Financial Market Context

The launch comes as KKR's stock faces technical headwinds. The stock's current price of $94.80 is below its 20-day simple moving average (SMA) of $94.95 and significantly below its 200-day SMA of $114.11, indicating a bearish trend. The 12-month performance shows a decline of 24.59%, and a recent death cross in November 2025, where the 50-day SMA fell below the 200-day SMA, adds to the bearish sentiment.
