In a move reflecting the accelerating global race for AI infrastructure, Alphabet has secured a massive deal with SpaceX worth $920 million per month. Under the agreement, Alphabet's Google Cloud division will provide the essential computing power required for SpaceX's operations, as the aerospace firm seeks robust infrastructure to handle its AI workloads. This partnership solidifies Alphabet's position as a primary cloud provider for high-scale clients requiring immense processing capabilities.
This deal arrives as the cloud sector experiences exceptional growth, with Google Cloud reporting Q1 2026 revenues of $20.0 billion, a 63% year-over-year increase per market data. This growth outpaces major peers, with Microsoft's Azure growing 40% and Amazon's AWS growing 28% in the same period. Alphabet has also raised its 2026 capital expenditure guidance to between $180 billion and $190 billion to expand AI data centers, coinciding with SpaceX's preparations for a landmark IPO at an estimated $1.75 trillion valuation according to Bloomberg reports.
