Blackstone Digital Infrastructure on a spree to buy high-quality data centers in tier 1 markets

I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.
Blackstone Digital Infrastructure (BXDC), a newly public REIT, is actively acquiring high-quality data centers in tier 1 markets from investment-grade hyperscalers. Unlike competitors, BXDC does not build facilities but focuses on long-term leases (10-20 years) for stability. The company targets ~6% cap rates with an intrinsic return of ~9%, offering a ~4% dividend yield. CEO Nick Pell and CFO Tony Marone emphasize the strategy's low risk, strong shareholder alignment, and significant growth potential compared to net lease REITs.
