A research report jointly published by Uweb and the TGG Stablecoin and RWA Innovation Center at Hong Kong Polytechnic University’s Faculty of Business argues that the global AIDC, or AI data center, market has entered a super-cycle of physical buildout. The report says demand is no longer a forward-looking narrative but already visible in hyperscaler spending and Nvidia’s data center revenue, with power access and grid connection now emerging as the real constraints on expansion. The study groups listed companies in mainland China, Hong Kong and the United States into four buckets based on how far their transitions have actually materialized, while also separating out native data center operators and major cloud or AI platform companies as reference cases. It finds that U.S.-listed Bitcoin miners converting to AI hosting generally carry more “substance” because they already control power, sites and cooling systems, while many mainland Chinese cross-sector entrants are starting from zero. In Hong Kong, the picture sits between those two, with native IDC upgrades and acquisition-led entrants both present. The report also flags several risks tied to the AIDC boom, including depreciation mismatches for GPUs, customer concentration under take-or-pay contracts, and rising leverage. On the financing side, it highlights public REITs, ABS and CMBS in data centers, along with early moves toward GPU compute futures, as tools that could reshape how operators fund expansion and hedge revenue volatility.
