AI runs on more than data and computing power. Every AI data center depends on raw materials most people never think about: rare earth materials, chips, magnets and hardware components. Robots, cell phones and self-driving cars depend on them too. Domestic rare earth production in the United States has been very limited, which creates a real bottleneck as demand accelerates.
Ticker Tape Investments invested $4.5 million in USA Rare Earth, a company focused on building an end-to-end supply chain for rare earth magnets in the United States. Since then, the company has gone public, raised additional capital and made acquisitions. It is now much further along in building a U.S.-based rare earth supply chain. As AI infrastructure expands, the materials behind it deserve attention too.
