Amazon announces $50 billion investment in AI supercomputing infrastructure for federal agencies, triggering a sector-wide rally in AI-linked cryptocurrencies.
AI-linked cryptocurrencies surged on Nov. 24 as Amazon confirmed a landmark plan to invest up to $50 billion in new AI and supercomputing infrastructure for US federal agencies. The initiative will deploy nearly 1.3 gigawatts of high-performance computing capacity across AWS Top Secret, AWS Secret, and AWS GovCloud regions, beginning construction in 2026.
According to the press release, the investment will expand US agencies’ access to AWS’s full AI stack, including SageMaker, Bedrock, Nova, Anthropic Claude, open-weights foundation models, and AWS Trainium chips.
Federal agencies will now be able to process decades of national security data in real time. Amazon stated the expansion will also support autonomous systems, satellite imagery, and scientific research under the Trump Administration’s AI Action Plan.
AWS CEO Matt Garman expressed expectations for the investment to transform how federal agencies leverage supercomputing to enable critical workloads without computational limitations.
Already serving more than 11,000 agencies, the announcement reinforces Amazon’s position as the leading cloud service provider to the US government.
