SWI Group Accelerates Transition Towards Digital Infrastructure

On August 25, 2026, SWI Capital Holding Ltd, listed on Euronext Amsterdam under the ticker SWICH, announced a significant strategic shift in its investment focus. Over the past year, more than 80% of the group's capital has been allocated to a transatlantic digital infrastructure platform capable of delivering over 4 GW of energy. The group aims to increase this allocation to over 90% in the near future.

The company's recent acquisition of a majority stake (over 70%) in Genesis Digital Assets, which will be rebranded as SWI Digital, signifies SWI's commitment to enhancing its position in the digital infrastructure landscape. This move aligns with their vision to develop a high-performance computing (HPC) platform and GPU as a service.

Under the leadership of co-founders Max-Hervé George and Jaume Sabater, SWI has evolved into a listed investment entity that invests its capital in high-growth opportunities within the private market while maintaining its established asset management activities. With an emphasis on data centers and AI infrastructure, the group anticipates double-digit growth in its balance sheet for 2026.

Digital Infrastructure Focus

SWI Group has strategically directed its capital allocation towards digital infrastructure, consistently investing in this sector for the past five years. This has led to the establishment of a portfolio in Europe and the United States, exceeding 4 GW in energy generation capacity. The ultimate goal is to enhance this investment to over 90% of their capital allocation.

Two main platforms underpin these investments:
1. AiOnX: This is SWI's European AI infrastructure platform, which is developing a portfolio of hyper-scalable AI-ready data center campuses across multiple countries including Ireland, the UK, Denmark, Spain, and Italy.
2. SWI Digital (GDA): Focused on the U.S. market, this newly rebranded entity will manage a vast network of power-connected sites, positioning SWI strategically within the rapidly expanding AI and HPC market.

Value Creation Through Digital Infrastructure

Beyond just owning land and energy capabilities, SWI Group is advancing in the value chain towards AI computation. The group plans to leverage its highly skilled team and solid financial standing to develop its internal cloud-based AI platform, providing GPU-accelerated computing services to businesses, research institutions, and AI developers. The integration of the energized sites from AiOnX and GDA, combined with the group's HPC layer, presents a vertically integrated digital infrastructure stack that will enable SWI to capture value across all levels of the AI infrastructure chain.

Polarise Transaction Update

Regarding the previously announced partnership with Polarise, both parties have mutually agreed not to proceed with this transaction in its initial form. Instead of acquiring a majority stake in Polarise, SWI will provide financing to expedite Polarise’s strategic expansion, allowing both organizations to pursue separate growth paths.

Strategic Initiatives Beyond Digital Infrastructure

In addition to its digital infrastructure focus, SWI Group maintains a diversified investment portfolio across various sectors, including:

• - Investments in European industrial and logistics properties through SERT, a publicly listed entity rated investment grade on the Singapore Exchange.
• - Investments in multifamily housing in the U.S. through Varia US, listed on SIX Swiss Exchange.
• - A growing commitment to culture, sports, and entertainment, where SWI seeks attractive investment opportunities ahead of institutional consensus.
• - An opportunistic and asset-class-independent strategy to invest in distressed situations and financial assets across various markets.

Max-Hervé George, co-founder and CEO of SWI Group, remarked, "Our transformation into a listed investment group has provided us with the financial strength and agility necessary to back trends we believe will define the next decade. Digital infrastructure is key to this conviction, and the creation of SWI Digital represents a significant step forward for the group."

Jaume Sabater, co-founder and CEO of Stoneweg and part of the SWI leadership, added, "Listing on Euronext Amsterdam has allowed us to focus on disciplined private balance investing. This positions the group to quickly generate value at scale. The acquisition of our majority stake in GDA stands as a clear testament to this strategy thus far."

The press release includes forward-looking statements in accordance with the EU Regulation on Market Abuse (Regulation (EU) 596/2014).
