Bain Capital is weighing strategic options for Bridge Data Centres, including a potential stake sale or the creation of a continuation fund, as it seeks fresh capital to accelerate the platform’s expansion across Asia, according to a report by Bloomberg.

The US private equity firm has begun early discussions with advisers. One scenario would allow Bain to retain ownership through a continuation vehicle while bringing in new investors to support growth. Infrastructure-focused funds, rival data centre operators, and sovereign wealth funds are among the parties expected to show interest. Sources said any deal could value the business at several billion dollars, though deliberations remain preliminary and may not result in a transaction.

Bain acquired Bridge Data Centres in 2017. The company operates facilities in Malaysia, Thailand, and India, positioning it to benefit from rising demand linked to cloud adoption and artificial intelligence workloads.

The review follows Bain’s agreement in September to sell its China data centre assets for about $4bn, a deal that highlighted continued appetite for digital infrastructure despite mounting concerns over heavy AI-related capital expenditure.

The sector remains active across Asia. Singapore-based DayOne Data Centres is in advanced talks to raise more than $2bn to fund international expansion, adding further momentum to one of private equity’s most competitive asset classes.

A spokesperson for Bain declined to comment, while Bridge Data Centres did not respond to a request for comment.
