FingerMotion Inc. (NASDAQ: FNGR), a technology company with core operations in mobile payment and recharge platforms in China, announced it has initiated discussions with prospective offtake clients for capacity at Brooks Campus #1, a 9.9-megawatt behind-the-meter power and compute site in Alberta, Canada. The move signals the company's first commercial step into the North American power and compute infrastructure market, leveraging a strategy that prioritizes securing long-term contracts before committing construction capital.
Through its relationship with BlueFlare Energy Solutions Inc., FingerMotion is offering two potential commercial structures: powered land, where clients provide their own modular data halls, and colocation, where BlueFlare develops data-hall capacity with power, cooling and supporting infrastructure. Under both arrangements, clients would supply and own their computing equipment. Powered land capacity is expected to become available in early 2027, though no definitive offtake agreements have been announced.
Brooks Campus #1 is the first site in FingerMotion's planned 99-megawatt Alberta program, which comprises 10 sites across the Brooks, Coronation, Fox Creek and Vulcan areas. The company continues to advance permitting and solicit expressions of interest. A key design feature is the campus's location adjacent to existing natural gas infrastructure, potentially avoiding the need for a new grid interconnection—a factor that could reduce costs and timelines in a sector where grid access is often a bottleneck.
For investors, the announcement highlights FingerMotion's efforts to diversify beyond its core Chinese mobile payment business. The company's vision includes growing its user base organically and developing an ecosystem of high-engagement applications, with long-term hopes of serving over 1 billion users in China and expanding to other regional markets. The Alberta program represents a tangible expansion into energy-intensive computing infrastructure, a segment attracting significant interest due to demand from data centers and high-performance computing.
The news matters because it reveals a potential new revenue stream for FingerMotion and underscores a broader trend of technology firms seeking to control power assets to support compute operations. The success of the offtake discussions will be closely watched as an indicator of commercial viability for the entire 99-megawatt program. If FingerMotion secures long-term capacity contracts, it could validate the powered land and colocation models, while also providing a template for other sites in its portfolio.
