Who owns Bolt Data & Energy, Inc.

Bolt Data & Energy, Inc. - Profile

Bolt Data & Energy is an American data and energy infrastructure company building an integrated platform for artificial intelligence compute: it assembles land, power generation and large scale GPU data centre capacity together rather than buying power from the grid alone. The company was co-founded by Eric Schmidt, the former chief executive and chairman of Google, who serves as its chairman, and it emerged publicly in December 2025 with $150 million of initial capital and a strategic agreement to develop data centre campuses and supporting infrastructure on land in the Permian Basin of West Texas. Its stated power strategy starts with natural gas fired generation and extends to renewables and eventually nuclear, and it is pursuing commercial partnerships and anchor customers for the first campuses.

The disclosed stakes

One row per position. Where a holder reports the same company in two share classes, both rows are shown rather than summed, because the class is part of a position's identity.

Where each figure comes from

A private stake has no ownership form behind it, so the source is always the holder's own filing or disclosure. Anything modelled says so, with the arithmetic.

• Texas Pacific Land Corporation, as of 31 Dec 2025. TPL's FY2025 10-K discloses a $50.0 million minority investment made in December 2025 in Bolt Data & Energy, Inc. ('Bolt'), a private data-energy infrastructure company co-founded by Eric Schmidt (former CEO/Chairman of Google), under a strategic agreement to develop data-center campuses and infrastructure on TPL land. Bolt raised $150.0 million of capital in that round inclusive of TPL's $50.0 million. TPL received an equity interest, warrants, and a right of first refusal to supply water to Bolt-affiliated projects. The 10-K states TPL evaluated the position for consolidation and equity-method accounting, concluded neither applied (Bolt is a VIE TPL does not control and the investment is preferred equity that does not meet in-substance-common-stock criteria), and carries it as an equity security at cost, subject to impairment. No share count or ownership percentage is disclosed. The $50m/$150m ratio (33.3%) is NOT used as pct_of_target because it reflects only the size of this funding round relative to TPL's contribution, not Bolt's actual post-money cap table, which is not disclosed; modelling it would overstate confidence in an unknown figure. The Q2 2026 10-Q (period 2026-06-30, filed 2026-08-05) contains no further mention of Bolt, so this FY2025 10-K remains the only source. source
