Blackstone

Computing giant Microsoft, private equity giant Blackstone, venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz and search engine Perplexity AI are also reportedly in the running for a stake.

In 2020, the private equity giant Blackstone paid $4 billion for Ancestry.com — just one high-profile, public example.

After the 2008 housing crash, companies such as Blackstone Inc., which created Invitation Homes in 2012, began buying up foreclosed single-family homes and converting them into rentals.

Aside from Feinberg, Jared Kushner has his own PE firm, and Steve Schwarzman, who runs the U.S.’s largest PE firm, Blackstone, is another close ally to the president.

Blackstone, which has invested $80 billion in data centers, has no plans to reassess those expenditures, and neither do the Wall Street investors already dismissing DeepSeek as a bunch of hype.
