Nvidia talks $500 billion AI infrastructure funding with major Wall Street firms

Nvidia is said to be negotiating a $500 billion financing initiative for AI infrastructure with a consortium of U.S. investment firms such as Apollo Global Management, Blackstone, BlackRock’s Global Infrastructure Partners, Brookfield Asset Management, Goldman Sachs and KKR. One outlet, citing unnamed sources, indicated that a formal announcement could occur as soon as Monday, though the companies have not responded to comment requests.

Nvidia’s stock fell as much as 3.2 % following the report. The chipmaker has already secured multibillion-dollar deals across the AI ecosystem, raising concerns about circular demand inflation. Recent activities include an expanded partnership with South Korea’s SK Group and a potential $250 billion backstop for OpenAI’s data-center computing lease. The article did not clarify which specific projects or firms would benefit from the proposed funding, nor whether the $500 billion represents new commitments.
