Crusoe has ended its planned launch partnership with Boom Supersonic for 29 Superpower natural-gas turbines, changing a major piece of the power strategy behind future AI data centers.

The original agreement covered 29 of Boom’s 42-megawatt turbines, representing about 1.21 gigawatts of generation capacity and roughly $1.25 billion in equipment. Boom CEO Blake Scholl said the turbines are no longer part of Crusoe’s near-term primary power mix, while Crusoe confirmed that the companies are no longer doing business under the agreement.

The shift matters because power availability has become one of the biggest constraints on AI data-center expansion. Crusoe began as a Bitcoin-mining company using stranded natural gas and has since expanded deeply into AI infrastructure, making its changing energy strategy especially relevant to the convergence of Bitcoin mining, high-performance computing and energy development.

Boom says its Superpower program is continuing. Scholl said the company expects to deliver about 250 MW to other sites next year and is targeting 1 GW in 2028. The turbine uses technology derived from Boom’s Symphony supersonic aircraft engine and is designed to provide 42 MW per unit without requiring water.

For the AI infrastructure industry, the breakup is another reminder that securing compute is increasingly tied to securing generation. Grid connections, turbines, batteries and behind-the-meter power are becoming as strategically important as GPUs and servers.
