Tech Up as Traders Chase Gains - Tech Roundup

Dow Jones
Oct 16, 2025

Shares of technology companies rose as traders continued to chase gains in a sector that has recently drawn widespread debate about a potential speculative bubble.

Investment firm BlackRock's new artificial-intelligence infrastructure consortium struck its first deal, agreeing to acquire Aligned Data Centers from Australian rival Macquarie Asset Management.

Separately, an Nvidia -backed AI startup is planning to build a massive data-center complex with AI computing-services firm CoreWeave that is capable of generating its own power on a site that is two-thirds the size of Central Park.

"I think we are in a bubble," said Lorenzo Di Mattia, manager of hedge fund Sibilla Global Fund. "From AI and all derivatives of that -- nuclear [power], data centers, etc -- to crypto. The weakest within the speculative complex seems to be crypto."

Bitcoin recently traded around $111,000, far from recent highs around $125,000. Other cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum, have been even more volatile in October.
