💰 AMAZON’S $8B NVIDIA MOVE — WHO PAYS FOR THE AI BOOM?

$Amazon.com(AMZN)$ is looking at a different way to pay for its huge AI spending.

Reports say Amazon is considering moving about $8 billion of Nvidia AI chips into a special company called an SPV.

Outside investors would help fund the chips. Amazon would then lease the chips back and continue using them for AWS and AI.

The interesting part? The outside investors could receive up to a 10% equity stake in the SPV, meaning they would have an ownership interest in the company holding the chips.

Why does this matter?

AI chips are extremely expensive, and Amazon is spending billions on data centres and computing power.

Instead of Amazon paying for all the chips itself, outside investors could help fund them. This could reduce the amount of money Amazon needs to put into the hardware upfront.

To me, the bigger story isn’t just Amazon or Nvidia.

It shows how expensive the AI race has become.

The big tech companies need more and more chips, but they also need to find new ways to pay for them.

If this model works, we could see other big cloud companies use similar structures.

Nvidia gets paid for the chips. Amazon gets the computing power. Outside investors get a stake in the assets.

👀 The AI race may be turning into a financing race too.
