In addition to announcing the fundraise, Auradine, which is based in Silicon Valley, California, also unveiled a newly formed business group dubbed AuraLinks AI, which the company said would focus on open-standards-based networking solutions to address the increasing bandwidth and cooling requirements of next-generation AI data centers.

Auradine, a leading provider of high-performance computing solutions for Bitcoin and AI, today announced the closing of a $150 million Series C funding round led by SoftBank Vision Fund. This investment will fuel Auradine's rapid expansion plans to meet the surging demand for next-generation infrastructure solutions in the cryptocurrency and AI domains.

As part of the announcement, Auradine also unveiled a newly formed business group named AuraLinks AI, which will concentrate on developing open-standards-based networking solutions to address the increasing bandwidth and cooling needs of next-generation AI data centers.

"Both Bitcoin and AI convert energy into economic value and require highly energy-efficient, scalable, and flexible infrastructure solutions," said Rajiv Khemani, co-founder and CEO of Auradine. "Since day one, Auradine has focused on open standards, sustainability, and innovation velocity. Our dual focus on Bitcoin and AI infrastructure places Auradine at the intersection of pivotal technologies that will reshape computing and energy utilization for decades to come. This funding round enables us to scale that vision with greater speed and impact."

Founded in 2022, Auradine specializes in designing and manufacturing servers tailored for Bitcoin mining, integrating air, water, and immersion cooling technology to optimize energy efficiency and performance.

Prior to founding Auradine, Khemani founded and led Innovium, a networking startup, and had a successful tenure as COO at Cavium.

Earlier this year, Auradine welcomed Lip-Bu Tan to its board of directors. Tan, a seasoned technology executive, is the CEO of Intel Corporation.
