Two Manifold markets indicate growing trader conviction that Microsoft will add nuclear power to its data center mix: Will Microsoft power its data center with SMR(Small Modular Reactor) by 2030? is at 36.36% YES, and Will Microsoft have at least one data center (partially) powered by a self-operated fission reactor before 2030? sits at 27.48%. Both point to a meaningful probability that Microsoft is exploring on-site nuclear generation to secure reliable, carbon-free power for AI workloads. This aligns with broader hyperscaler interest in nuclear PPAs and could catalyze investments in SMR vendors. The signals are early and based solely on prediction market sentiment, so confidence is low. If Microsoft formalizes a nuclear PPA, it would pressure regional grids and potentially lift power infrastructure suppliers.
