In 2025, Meta plans to significantly increase its capital expenditures to between $60-65 billion, a rise of up to 65% from 2024. This investment will mainly focus on expanding its data center infrastructure, essential for supporting its AI products across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Zuckerberg emphasizes this endeavor as pivotal for innovation and maintaining technological leadership in the U.S. Amid increasing competition for GPUs necessary for AI, the tech industry is witnessing a spending spree on infrastructure, as leading companies invest heavily to secure resources and capabilities.
Mr. Zuckerberg said the company expected its capital expenditures in 2025 to come in at an estimated $60 to $65 billion, an increase of up to 65 percent compared to the roughly $38 to $40 billion Meta spent in 2024.
He noted that the company also expected to own more than 1.3 million graphics processing units, or GPUs, by the end of the year.
This is a massive effort, and over the coming years it will drive our core products and business, unlock historic innovation, and extend American technology leadership.
Silicon Valley's tech giants are locked in an infrastructure arms race, as they compete to build the future of artificial intelligence.
