The firm buys, builds, and operates the physical backbone of the internet: cell towers, data centers, fiber networks, small cells, and edge computing facilities. Headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, DigitalBridge also maintains offices in Los Angeles, New York, Denver, London, and Singapore. By June 2025, the company managed a staggering $106 billion in assets, making it one of the largest infrastructure investors in the world.

    On December 29, 2025, DigitalBridge announced a definitive agreement to be acquired by SoftBank Group for approximately $4 billion per share.

SoftBank, a Japanese conglomerate with a history of bold tech bets, sees DigitalBridge's portfolio as a key piece in its vision for an AI-driven future.

    The company's focus on essential digital assets has made it a bellwether for the sector. Its portfolio spans across the United States, Europe, and Asia, serving a diverse range of clients from telecom operators to cloud providers. With the SoftBank deal, DigitalBridge is poised to expand its reach even further, solidifying its role as a cornerstone of the digital economy.
