FingerMotion Inc. outlined a strategy to build behind-the-meter data center infrastructure in North America, targeting corporate clients requiring dozens of megawatts of capacity rather than hyperscale deployments. The company’s plan involves deploying modular data centers powered by local natural gas generation to bypass traditional power grid interconnection queues.
Under a memorandum of understanding signed with BlueFlare Energy Solutions Inc. on June 9, 2026, FingerMotion will develop high-performance computing sites in Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan. BlueFlare will handle site origination, design, engineering, construction, and operational support, though no definitive contract has been finalized.
The announcement follows FingerMotion’s completion of its first transaction under new management on August 17, 2026, when it acquired a 9.9% equity stake in Lyken AI Computing Inc. in exchange for 1,674,480 restricted common shares, with no cash paid at closing. Alset AI Ventures Inc. retains a 90.1% controlling stake in Lyken AI Computing.
FingerMotion’s Chief Executive Officer Jolie Kahn was appointed on August 4, 2026, and the company intends to maintain its existing mobile payment and data analytics operations in China while expanding its infrastructure business in North America.
The company acknowledged risks including dependence on natural gas availability and pricing, construction and permitting delays, long corporate sales cycles, capital constraints, and reliance on partner execution. FingerMotion noted that no site controls, power supply agreements, customer purchase agreements, or project financing have been announced, and the announcement does not represent a new site, capacity commitment, customer contract, or financing arrangement.
