FingerMotion unveils behind-the-meter data center plan with BlueFlare

FingerMotion, Inc. (NASDAQ: FNGR) disclosed plans to develop behind-the-meter data center infrastructure in North America through a partnership with BlueFlare Energy Solutions Inc.

The strategy focuses on modular facilities powered by on-site natural gas generation, which bypasses traditional utility interconnection queues. The framework, outlined in a memorandum of understanding signed June 9, 2026, covers high-performance computing sites across Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan.

Under the agreement, BlueFlare would lead site origination, design, engineering, construction, and operations support. FingerMotion emphasized that no definitive agreements have been finalized and the announcement does not constitute a new site, capacity commitment, customer contract, or financing arrangement. The company has not yet announced site control, power agreements, customer offtake contracts, or project financing.

The strategy targets tens of megawatts of capacity for enterprise customers, excluding hyperscale deployments. FingerMotion, led by CEO Jolie Kahn since August 4, 2026, plans to maintain its existing mobile payment and data-analytics operations in China while developing the North American infrastructure business.

The company’s plans carry risks including natural gas availability and pricing volatility, construction and permitting delays, long enterprise sales cycles, capital constraints, and reliance on partner execution. FingerMotion completed its first transaction under new management on August 17, acquiring a 9.9% equity stake in Lyken AI Computing Inc. for 1,674,480 restricted common shares, with Alset AI Ventures retaining a 90.1% controlling interest.
