Blackstone-led lenders take control of Medallia, Thoma Bravo loses stake after recap

Medallia’s lenders are set to take over the customer and employee experience software company from Thoma Bravo in a recap that erases the buyout firm’s estimated $5 billion equity. The move is a big reversal for one of the most high-profile software deals from 2021. The deal puts private credit under the spotlight as loans shift from a paper loss to ownership. Lenders who backed pricey software buyouts aren't just writing down debt now. With Medallia, they're set to take over the company itself.

Blackstone’s $80 Billion Credit Fund Faces Another Liquidity Test

Blackstone’s $80 Billion Credit Fund Faces Another Liquidity Test

Blackstone Private Credit Fund is offering to buy back as many as 93.1 million shares, about 5% of its total shares. Investors get a limited cash exit from the non-traded private credit fund. The buyback offer ends at 11:59 p.m. Eastern on May 29, unless the deadline is pushed out. BCRED’s timing is in focus as it faces weaker investor demand. Gross inflows at the $80 billion fund dropped to $1.9 billion in the first quarter, Reuters reported last month, while repurchase requests increased to $3.2 billion. Drivers included geopolitical uncertainty, private credit scrutiny, and investor worries about artificial intelligence hitting non-traded business development companies.

Blackstone Inc. Creates N1 AI Unit Around OpenAI, Anthropic Bets as Credit Fund Faces Pressure

Blackstone Inc. Creates N1 AI Unit Around OpenAI, Anthropic Bets as Credit Fund Faces Pressure

Blackstone Inc. is launching Blackstone N1, a new San Francisco-based division aimed at consolidating its artificial-intelligence and high-growth tech investments—a sharper AI push for the New York asset manager as money continues pouring into data centers, power, and software platforms. The group will draw from Blackstone’s growth, hybrid, and perpetual private equity strategies, folding in stakes linked to OpenAI and Anthropic, per an internal memo cited by WSJ Pro Private Equity. Timing is crucial here. AI, once just a side play, has become central for big private-markets players. Why? The sector demands real assets—think data centers, digital infrastructure, and reliable energy supply—that call for hefty investments and a willingness to hold on for the long haul. Blackstone wants to bring all that under a single roof, aiming to get ahead before dealmaking heats up further.

Blackstone Just Put $16 Billion Behind Oracle’s AI Buildout. The Hard Part Comes Next

Blackstone Just Put $16 Billion Behind Oracle’s AI Buildout. The Hard Part Comes Next

Blackstone Inc. and Related Digital have locked down financing for the $16 billion Oracle data center campus planned for Saline Township, Michigan, bringing new private capital to one of the largest U.S. AI infrastructure builds. According to the companies, the financing structure pulls in equity from Related Digital and Blackstone-linked funds, with fixed-rate, long-term debt provided by funds and accounts overseen by PIMCO. This deal is front and center as AI firms scramble for more compute — massive processing power — and that’s driving asset managers like Blackstone further into physical assets, from data centers to power infrastructure. For Blackstone, the project doubles as a way to offer investors a more straightforward growth narrative, especially with some areas of its private-credit operation under the microscope for redemptions and lending criteria.

Dow Jones Index Today: Dow Jumps 300 Points as Wall Street Tries to Shake Off Correction

Dow Jones Index Today: Dow Jumps 300 Points as Wall Street Tries to Shake Off Correction

On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped over 300 points, recovering a portion of last week’s decline after President Donald Trump announced the U.S. was engaged in “serious discussions” to resolve the dispute with Iran. This uptick landed despite an escalation in fighting over the weekend. The rebound takes on significance after Friday’s rout dragged the Dow down 10% from its Feb. 10 record close, pushing it into correction territory. Brent crude sticking close to $113 a barrel and U.S. crude holding above $101 added to the pressure. Investors sizing up this week’s March payrolls and labor figures are left weighing whether the U.S. economy is ready for another energy jolt.
